Destination Weddings in Mexico
A country of great beauty and diversity,
Mexico is rapidly become a popular destination for weddings. Located just south of the
United States border, Mexico offers just about every kind of landscape and climate any bride and groom could ask for, from ancient ruins set amid lush tropical jungles to white sand
beaches running down to azure blue waters. Because of its
romantic beauty, many couples choose Mexico as a combination wedding/honeymoon destination.
Riviera Maya
The Riviera Maya is considered to be one of the most romantic areas in the world. There are numerous beautiful locations for a wedding in the region, including the El Dorado Spa resort and Hotel. The El Dorado is an adults only, all-inclusive resort with on-staff wedding coordinators to handle all of the details, leaving the bridal couple free to enjoy their special day. The resort offers a number of beautiful locations for the ceremony including its private beach or even a charming little chapel if the couple desires a religious ceremony in addition to the required civil ceremony. After the ceremony is over the honeymoon can begin immediately.

Los Cabos
The Los Cabos region is home to the unique towns of San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas. San Jose still retains the look and feel of its 18th-century mission roots, while San Lucas offers a more cosmopolitan attraction. The area has become a wedding destination because of its remarkable weather, exquisite beaches and spectacular scenery, including the famous rock arch at Land's End. Las Ventanas al Paraiso, which means "Windows to Paradise," is an enchanting white Mediterranean-style resort that caters to the rich and famous. The resort also does a thriving wedding business and has a director of romance on staff. Whether you choose a barefoot wedding on the beach or a formal affair in the oceanfront plaza, the event will be surrounded by spectacular scenery for those once-in-a-lifetime wedding photos.

Puerto Vallarta
Vacationers have been migrating to Puerto Vallarta since the late 1800s, but the resort business really began to boom after John Huston set his classic film, "Night of the Iguana, " there. Today, the lush tropical paradise does a thriving wedding business. In addition to the usual wedding locations such as the beach, luxurious hotels and quaint chapels, Puerto Vallarta features a number of private villas that are available to host the event and serve as the honeymoon retreat once the guests have gone. Villas in Puerto Vallarta range from small and intimate to large and opulent, able to handle receptions of up to 120 people. Vallarta Weddings has a number of villas, along with many other locations, available for rental.
