Why Mexico works for a beach wedding
Mexico offers warm water, long sunsets, experienced wedding teams and a wide range of budgets. Many couples choose a symbolic ceremony on the beach, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Choosing a destination
Each coast has its own feel. Puerto Vallarta on the Pacific mixes a lively old town, jungle and bay with many different settings within a short drive. See our guide to wedding venues in Puerto Vallarta.
Legal or symbolic?
A symbolic ceremony is about the celebration, and a legal ceremony creates a marriage recognized by law. You can do either or both. Read the legal documents guide.
When to go
The dry months from November to April are the most reliable. See the best time to get married for a month-by-month view.
