Puerto Vallarta is known for some of the most beautiful areas to host your destination wedding and has become one of the top wedding destinations in Mexico. The best months to plan your destination wedding are between mid October through the end of May. The chances of rain and humidity are in the months of June and July. The height of the rainy season is August and September. Rain showers and high humidity are almost guaranteed every day in the late afternoon. Ask your wedding planner which time frame works best for you and your guests.

The Parish of Puerto Vallarta does not allow its priests to marry people outside of a physical church. This means that they cannot perform ceremonies at a beach or in villa or hotel. The church will, however, grant permission for priests from outside of Vallarta to perform a Catholic ceremony if they are the priests of the couple’s local church. Details for this can be arranged by your wedding coordinator.

Yes, a minister can perform your wedding ceremony in a religious style. Minister are “non denominational” but has knowledge and experience in performing a number of different religious ceremonies such as Catholic and Jewish.

For the minister’s ceremony you will only need picture ID showing your full names – preferably passports. However, the Wedding Certificate you’ll receive from the minister only serves as recognition of a “spiritual union.”

To be married in a church in Mexico, you need to obtain documents from your parish at home and comply with the church’s premarital procedures and marriage preparation programs. The professional wedding coordinators can provide you with information about the required documents, church procedures and policies, and offer you support and direction before and during the wedding ceremony.

Yes, certainly you have the option of getting legally married in Mexico. This will take some additional time and should be started early in planning your wedding. Please make sure you discuss this process with your wedding planner before making a decision as there is additional paperwork involved and documentation required which can take some time and needs to be started early on in the planning process. Most couples choose to get married legally at home before coming to Puerto Vallarta. This allows for them to have what is called a “Spiritual Ceremony” that fits perfectly in to what they are envisioning.

There are requirements and documents needed for foreign citizens who wish to be legally married in Mexico. Documents must be translated by an authorized translator in Puerto Vallarta, so you should acquire these documents and send them to your wedding planner at least one month before the ceremony to allow time for processing and translation. A visit to the registry office (accompanied by your wedding planner) is also required the Wednesday before your marriage for a 30 minute class on the morals of marriage. The marriage certificate provided by the judge after a civil ceremony is a legal bond of marriage recognized by Mexico, the USA and Europe.

Legal marriages in Mexico are called “Civil Ceremonies” and are conducted by a Judge residing in the locality where you wish to get married. However, if you wish to be legally married in Mexico, we recommend that you make arrangements with your wedding planner to have the civil wedding performed at the Puerto Vallarta Registry Office, or at your villa, on the morning of your wedding ceremony – or the day before. Marriages performed by ministers or priests (even Catholic Priests) are not legally binding in Mexico. They are the symbolic and spiritual part of your wedding celebration.
