Puerto Vallarta Destination Wedding Location

destination-mexico.jpgDestination weddings are becoming more and more popular by the minute. Why spend $25,000 on a wedding in the United States when you can have a wedding, and a one week vacation and a lifetime of memories for under $10,000 in Mexico?

There are several popular Mexico wedding destinations such as Cabo San Lucas, Cancun, Puerto Vallarta and Zihuatenejo. Casa Valerie, a luxury Puerto Vallarta villa rental, was featured in the Summer 2006 issue of the national bridal publication Destination I Do Magazine as one of the best destination locations in Mexico.

A great destination wedding requires a great destination center point for events and gatherings. A Villa is usually a great option because you can stay with some friends and family, but also offer a convenient location to host dinners, lunches, brunches and the wedding ceremony.

Valerie Neblett, owner of Casa Valerie and Villa Aqua, says the villa is an ideal setting for a destination wedding ceremony with its 5,000-plus square foot patio serving as the ceremony location and reception site with spectacular views of Los Arcos, Puerto Vallarta, Punta de Mita, the Bay of Banderas and the coast.

You will realize how reasonably priced they are to comparable venues, not to mention the affordability of hosting a wedding far below what you would pay for lesser or equal luxury at home. When you factor in all the benefits of a destination wedding and the amenities of a private villa, you'll quickly realize that villas offer a superb value. Can't you just hear the mariachis playing right now?
