Dreaming of a romantic destination wedding in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico?
You’re in the right place. Today we’re sharing the story of Samantha and Joel—two busy professionals who knew they wanted something beautiful, effortless, and unforgettable for their wedding day. With stunning ocean views, vibrant culture, and an expert planner by their side (hi, that’s us!), their Puerto Vallarta celebration was everything they hoped for—and more.
Why They Chose Puerto Vallarta for Their Destination Wedding
Kayla and Jordan fell in love with Puerto Vallarta for its breathtaking sunsets, cobblestone streets, and authentic Mexican charm. It offered the perfect blend of tropical beauty and vibrant city energy—and it was just a short flight for most of their guests flying in from the U.S.
They didn’t want a cookie-cutter resort wedding. Instead, they wanted a unique experience that felt intimate and elevated, while still being easy to plan from a distance.
Planning Their Wedding from Afar
As full-time professionals with limited time to DIY, Samantha and Joel hired us to handle all the details—from recommending the perfect oceanfront venue to managing RSVPs and guest travel coordination.
We helped them:
-
Choose a luxury all-inclusive resort in the Romantic Zone
-
Connect with trusted local vendors (including a live mariachi band )
-
Design a soft, romantic color palette of blush, ivory, and gold
-
Build a custom wedding weekend timeline with a welcome dinner + beach brunch
They had their hearts set on a sunset ceremony overlooking the Pacific, followed by a candlelit reception under the stars—and we made it happen.

Date: October 14

The ceremony took place just before golden hour, with waves crashing in the background and a soft breeze coming off the bay. Kayla walked down the aisle to live guitar music, and Jordan’s emotional reaction set the tone for a heartfelt ceremony.

-
A custom tequila tasting station
-
Locally inspired hors d'oeuvres and a plated dinner
-
Romantic string lights and tropical florals

An after-party with a DJ + churro cart
Favorite Moments from the Couple
“The entire weekend felt like a dream—but the fact that we never had to stress about a single detail made it even better. Having a planner who knew the area, the vendors, and how to pull off a wedding abroad was the best decision we made.” — Samantha
