Puerto Vallarta and neighboring Riviera Nayarit share the same stunning bay, dramatic sunsets, and warm Pacific energy — but each offers its own personality for destination weddings. Puerto Vallarta brings vibrant culture, historic charm, and iconic oceanfront resorts, while Riviera Nayarit offers serene beaches, luxury all‑inclusive properties, and modern wedding venues just north of the city. Together, they create one of Mexico’s most sought‑after regions for intentional, stress‑free celebrations. Wondering how the Pacific coast compares to the Caribbean coast?

Riviera Nayarit begins just north of Puerto Vallarta’s airport and stretches along the coastline through Nuevo Vallarta, Flamingos, Bucerías, La Cruz, Punta de Mita, and Sayulita. Many of the area’s most popular all‑inclusive wedding resorts are technically in Riviera Nayarit — even though couples often search for them under Puerto Vallarta.
