DREAM WEDDINGS ceremonies

Catholic Ceremony (Church):

To be married in the church, you need to obtain documents from your church in your city. Your Wedding Coordinator will help you with the arrangements with the church, flowers, music, set up and general decoration to have everything ready for this important day.

The church will provide a marriage certificate signed by the priest of the Parroquia.

The Civil Ceremony is in Spanish and is approx. 15 minutes and is presented by the official judge from the Civil Registry of Puerto Vallarta. The civil ceremony can take place at your wedding location on the beach, villa or restaurant.
