A Mexican
Wedding
The two traditional
weddings in Mexico
Mexico
traditionally has two types
of wedding
ceremonies:
civil and religious.While
both wedding
ceremonies are
required for Mexican
Nationals, they are
not necessarily
required for
tourists arriving in
Puerto Vallarta,
Mexico to get
married. Here
you will find an
explanation of both
wedding ceremony
types and helpful
information to
determine what you
need for your
wedding in Mexico.
The civil ceremony
has legal
standing and is
recognized outside
the country of
Mexico. The civil
ceremony requires
that the couple
present
identification
including a passport
or birth
certificate, and in
some Mexican states
both. Some
states also require
a blood test
performed in Mexico,
and a three day
waiting period from
the filing of the
paperwork until the
ceremony itself. If
one or both parties
are divorced, you
must provide
certified proof that
the divorce has been
final for at least a
year. In
addition, each
member of the couple
is required to
present 2 witnesses,
four total.
The legal ceremony
is performed in the
local civil
registrar's office
by a government
official, while
arrangements can be
made for the
ceremony to be
performed in an
outdoor location.
Your wedding planner
can help you choose
a location that is
available and handle
the preparations.
Following the
ceremony, the couple
receives a marriage
certificate stating
that they are
legally married
according to the
laws of Mexico. This
is recognized as
legal worldwide, but
must be filed in
your home country
upon your return.
The religious
ceremony is
generally for show
and celebration.
While the civil
ceremony is
performed in
private, at either a
courthouse or
government building,
the religious
ceremony is
performed at your
chosen wedding
venue. Puerto
Vallarta offers
endless venue
options. These can be held in
one of Puerto
Vallarta's many
beautiful
cathedrals,
churches, outdoor
locations, resorts,
beaches, etc. In
order for the
religious ceremony
to be performed, the
couple must present
proof of the civil
marriage, performed
either in Mexico or
their home country.
Your best option for
a Mexican wedding in
Puerto Vallarta is
to hire a wedding
coordinator with
plenty of experience
with weddings in
Puerto Vallarta and
Mexico. It is
also suggested that
you confirm any and
all details
yourself- just in
case.
To date, Puerto
Vallarta requires a
visa, passport, and
proof of divorce if
applicable.
There is also
currently a 3 day
residency
requirement.
Please note that all
of these wedding
requirements are
subject to change
and it is important
to bring as much
documentation and
information as you
think necessary.
