Dreams Vallarta Bay Resort & Spa destination wedding specialists at 10kWedding.
Situated on a golden sand beach with uninterrupted views of one of the largest bays in the world, Dreams Vallarta Bay puts you five minutes from El Malecón boardwalk and fifteen minutes from Puerto Vallarta International Airport. The AAA Four Diamond property sits in the heart of the city — close enough to the culture, removed enough from the noise — with an open-air lobby on the third floor that frames sunsets over Banderas Bay every evening.
For a Dreams Vallarta Bay destination wedding, the venue lineup covers the full range: an iconic beachfront gazebo for intimate ceremonies of 70, a golden sand beach holding 200 guests, a terrace with panoramic bay views, a pool terrace requiring a minimum of 100 guests, and the Dreams Lobby for ceremonies up to 75. The Vallarta Bay Ballroom provides an air-conditioned rain backup and grand indoor reception option. Seven distinct spaces scale from small and ceremonial to large and celebratory.
10kWedding works directly with Dreams Vallarta Bay’s wedding and group team. We manage your room block, negotiate on your behalf, coordinate guest bookings, and remain available throughout the planning process and travel week — so you can focus on everything else.

Dreams Vallarta Bay occupies a prime stretch of Banderas Bay in Puerto Vallarta’s hotel zone — directly between the city center and the Marina district. The resort sits on one of the largest bays in the Pacific, giving every room and outdoor venue a panoramic water backdrop that genuinely earns the setting.
Puerto Vallarta International Airport is 15 minutes away, one of the shortest transfer distances of any resort in Mexico. El Malecón boardwalk — with its galleries, restaurants, and nightlife — is five minutes by cab. For wedding groups that want culture, nightlife, and golf on the same trip, the geography here makes it work without any effort at all.
One of the shortest airport-to-resort transfers in Mexico — straightforward for arriving wedding groups of any size.
Puerto Vallarta’s iconic waterfront promenade with sculptures, restaurants, bars, and nightly entertainment.
Cobblestone streets, art galleries, local markets, and the Cuale River island — a natural day trip for exploring guests.
18 championship holes with tropical lagoons and bay views — the closest golf option for guests wanting a round.
One of the premier dive sites in Puerto Vallarta with tropical fish and underwater formations — a popular group excursion.
Two championship courses — Jack Nicklaus and Tom Weiskopf designs — with panoramic mountain and bay views.
Puerto Vallarta is one of Mexico’s most accessible Pacific coast destinations. Direct flights from the U.S., Canada, and beyond land at PVR daily, and the 15-minute resort transfer means guests aren’t worn down before the week starts. The city’s combination of beaches, colonial architecture, art, and nightlife gives your guests a genuine Mexican vacation alongside the resort stay.
The adjacent Secrets Vallarta Bay shares the spa and grounds with Dreams Vallarta Bay, giving adult guests access to the Serenity Spa Cabins at Secrets for an additional cost. Whale watching season runs December through March. The turtle release program operates July through December — two distinctive experiences that add something memorable to a wedding week itinerary beyond the ceremony itself.
Banderas Bay is one of the largest bays in the world, and the geography shows in everything from the resort’s sunset views to the range of water excursions available. Dolphin and sea lion encounters through Vallarta Adventures are 12 miles away. Charter fishing for tuna, marlin, and sailfish runs from the marina. It’s the kind of location that gives every guest in your group something to do.
No wristbands, no gratuities. Everything your Dreams Vallarta Bay destination wedding guests need for a week on Banderas Bay.

The only spa in the city with a dedicated bridal suite next to the beauty salon.
Paddle boards, kayaks, water polo, and aqua aerobics are all included. Whale watching runs December through late March directly from the beach.
