Wedding Planner - Virtual Tool

Located in Puerto Vallarta, an enchanting town nestled between the jungle of the Sierra Madre Mountains and the cobalt blue waters of Bay of Banderas, The Westin Resort & Spa, Puerto Vallarta offers a unique taste of traditional Mexican culture in first-class surroundings. Bold architectural elements complement shimmering swimming pools, a five-tiered waterfall, stylish shops and restaurants, and an upscale, full-service spa-all framed by 600 towering palms trees and nearly 900 feet of sugar-white sands.

Sumptuous rooms and suites feature ocean-view balconies as well as Heavenly Beds and Heavenly Baths. An additional in-room treat: the exclusive, one-touch Service Express that takes care of any request around the clock.

With more than 23,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor function space, Westin weddings can accommodate up to 450 guests. Ceremonies may be arranged seaside on the resort's picture-perfect beach or in the lush gardens, complete with a decorated canopy and white-covered chairs. Receptions may follow outdoors or in the stylishly colorful ballroom.

Regardless of the size of the nuptial event, couples can count on the resort's wedding coordinator and multilingual staff to assist with all the important details, including floral arrangements, hiring photographers and musicians, and selecting a proper reception menu. Tasty Mexican buffets are as popular as the variety of Á la carte options, such as beef tournedos with coriander sauce, lobster medallions fumé blanc and mushroom consomme.

Any day at this Mexican hideaway may be spent lazing poolside, playing tennis or golf, sailing, or exercising at the gym, where the Westin Workout raises fitness standards through superior equipment, facilities and training staff. Fifteen minutes away, beautiful Puerto Vallarta beckons with its blend of old and new. Visitors may admire Huichol Indians working on their legendary crafts-intricate art forms the tribe has maintained for more than 500 years-dive some of the many underwater wonders, explore tropical jungles filled with exotic wildlife, go tequila tasting or dance the night away at one of the many nightclubs.
