If you are a fun couple and budget-conscious, but know good work when you see it, you’ve landed on my site for a reason. If you love to travel and want a destination wedding that’s more about the feeling, let me help you with it. 

So, let’s talk about some of the best Puerto Vallarta wedding venues. Trust me, if you get the vibe I want to show you here, these locations are the ones worth your while.

Why Choose Puerto Vallarta

First, the convenience. You can easily find flights from any major Canadian city The food scene is incredible. And, the sunsets? Honestly, they’re insane. Plus, Puerto Vallarta gives you a range of price points – you can go full luxury or keep things smart and simple, yet beautiful. 

As a photographer, I love it here because the natural light is magic, the colors pop, and every corner looks like a movie set. So now, let’s go into the best Puerto Vallarta wedding venues for you.

Best Puerto Vallarta Wedding Locations

Casa Velas

For the ultimate classy and fun Puerto Vallarta wedding, choose Casa Velas. Think lush gardens, quiet luxury, and just the right balance of tropical and chic. It’s perfect for all of you who want a polished, adult-only feel. Here, every backdrop looks like from a wedding magazine. Casa Velas is definitely for you if you want romantic photos and elegance.

Velas Vallarta

Velas Vallarta is the go-to Puerto Vallarta wedding destination for couples who want everything to look perfect (from food to guest rooms to coordination). It’s a full-service resort right on the ocean, so that you can host your ceremony, dinner, and afterparty all in one spot. It’s ideal if you’ve got a larger guest list and want everyone together. Plus, it offers spectacular ocean views, which make up for the perfect sunset portraits.

Villa Verano

Do you want to skip the resort vibe? Villa Verano is where you get that “we rented a private mansion in Mexico” energy. It’s an oceanfront villa with sweeping views, tropical gardens, and all the privacy you could want. If you have a small guest list and you want something that feels totally personal and customizable, this is the best Puerto Vallarta wedding venue for you. Plus, you can stay there with your closest people all week.

Le Kliff 

This Puerto Vallarta wedding location is exactly what it sounds like – a cliffside venue that gives you all the drama in the best way possible. You exchange vows above the ocean, with the waves crashing below, and a pink-orange sunset behind you. Le Kliff is for couples who want an epic backdrop and something truly memorable. If you want the kind of wedding photos that make people ask you where you were, then this is your place.

Private Villas & Garden Venues 

Puerto Vallarta has tons of hidden gems. These aren’t big resorts, but they are still beautiful. Smaller private villas, boutique hotels, and garden spaces will give you flexibility. And the best part? With this option, you have many fewer rules and fees. If you want to spend smart, support local vendors, and still get a beautiful aesthetic, I highly recommend this. You’ll save money and still have that dreamy vibe.

Budget-Friendly Picks

Keep things budget-conscious. Trust me, there are plenty of smaller local venues, beach clubs, or event spaces that allow you to bring in your own catering and décor. Some even let you host your ceremony right on the beach. Don’t let the word budget fool you. With a bit of creativity, your Puerto Vallarta wedding will still look like out of a travel magazine. And let’s be real, your photos (and your energy) make the day, not how much the venue costs.

Why Puerto Vallarta (and Me) Are a Perfect Match

Puerto Vallarta is one of those rare destinations that just feels easy. The logistics are smooth, the locals are warm, and the scenery does half the decorating for you. You get the best of both worlds – a tropical paradise and direct flights from Canada.

As your photographer, I would love to help you design a day that feels authentic. I’m not gonna force you into stiff poses or drag you away from your party for hours. I’m there to capture what’s real – the joy, the energy, the dance floor chaos, and every candid moment. And because I don’t charge travel fees for weddings in Mexico, all you need to do is book me, and I will handle the rest. I’ll make sure everything turns out perfect.

So, say your “I do” in Puerto Vallarta. There are so many Puerto Vallarta wedding venues for all kinds of styles. You have the freedom to plan a luxurious or a laid-back celebration. Either way, the city brings the perfect mix of beauty, ease, and that unmistakable Mexico magic.

If you are ready to escape the ordinary and create something truly special, choose Puerto Vallarta (I know I would, anytime). And, if you’re ready to enjoy every incredible moment for years to come (and a little bit of kickassery), I’d love to be your photographer. Let’s make this happen!
