Hilton Vallarta Riviera destination wedding specialists at 10kWedding.
Set directly on the Pacific coast along Bahía de Banderas, with the Sierra Madre mountains rising behind the property, Hilton Vallarta Riviera occupies one of Puerto Vallarta’s most striking stretches of beachfront. All 444 rooms and suites face the water with private balconies — and two oceanfront infinity pools align with the horizon in a way that makes sunset feel like it was designed for a wedding reception.
A Hilton Vallarta Riviera destination wedding offers two distinct outdoor ceremony and reception venues — the private beach and the oceanfront pool deck — each holding up to 100 guests with unobstructed Pacific views. When your group grows, or when you need a guaranteed all-weather space, the resort’s 16,200 sq ft Convention Center accommodates up to 400 for a banquet. Three structured wedding packages take you from a symbolic ceremony for two all the way to a full private reception with cocktail hour and multi-course plated service.
10kWedding works directly with the resort’s group sales and wedding coordination teams. We’ll negotiate your room block, handle individual guest reservations, and stay on top of every planning detail — at no cost to you. The resort is about 45 minutes from historic downtown Puerto Vallarta and 50 minutes from PVR airport, which means your guests arrive in one of Mexico’s most genuinely livable cities and have a full week to explore it.

Hilton Vallarta Riviera sits along Zona Hotelera Sur, south of Puerto Vallarta’s historic city center. It is a 50-minute drive from Licenciado Gustavo Díaz Ordaz International Airport. El Malecón and the downtown district are about 20 minutes away, and the Sierra Madre jungle begins immediately behind the hotel zone — making the resort a strong base for groups who want a genuinely active destination week.
El Malecón and the historic downtown are about 20 minutes south by taxi or shuttle, giving guests access to galleries, restaurants, contemporary sculptures, and authentic street-level Puerto Vallarta on any evening of the week. For more adventurous guests, the Sierra Madre jungle begins immediately behind the hotel zone — rainforest tours, canopy zip-lines, and river expeditions are all within 45 minutes.
Direct private transfer or taxi from the terminal. Clean, fast arrival for groups flying in from major US gateways.
Cobblestone streets, the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe, open-air markets, and Puerto Vallarta’s best restaurants — minutes from the lobby.
Puerto Vallarta’s iconic beachside promenade with sculptures, galleries, live music, and the full breadth of the bay view.
A full-service marina district with sport fishing charters, sailing excursions, and bayside dining options popular with wedding groups.
Rainforest canopy tours, river horseback rides, and Sierra Madre jungle excursions — the kind of adventure excursion that becomes the group story of the week.
North of Puerto Vallarta, Sayulita’s surf town and Punta Mita’s golf and snorkeling beaches offer a distinct half-day excursion for your guests.
Puerto Vallarta has a rare combination of natural beauty, urban life, and logistical ease that most Pacific coast destinations lack. El Malecón and the historic downtown are about 20 minutes from the resort by taxi or shuttle — close enough for a genuine evening out, far enough that your group stays in a quieter, resort-focused stretch of coastline all week.
The direct flight connections from the US and Canada are strong. Nonstop service from Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, Toronto, and Vancouver makes PVR one of the most accessible Pacific coast airports on the continent. For families in your group who have never been to Mexico, the ease of arrival and the city’s reputation for hospitality remove a lot of the friction around destination travel.
The bay setting means the resort faces west — which gives you a Pacific sunset view directly from both outdoor ceremony venues. On clear days, the Sierra Madre mountains behind the hotel create a dramatic backdrop that photographs differently in every light. No other arrangement, no staging required.
All 444 rooms and suites are all-inclusive. Everything below is available to your guests as part of their stay.
Both infinity pools face Bahía de Banderas directly — positioned so the water blends with the horizon at sunset. Swim-up bar access and sun deck lounging are available throughout the day. One of the resort’s most photographed features.
A private beach along Bahía de Banderas, with beach bar service and dedicated beach butler service. Calm Pacific waters make it a comfortable option for guests of all ages and comfort levels in the water.
A complete spa with a steam room, sauna, hydrotherapy pools, Jacuzzis, and temperature-controlled showers. The full suite of treatment options is ideal for pre-wedding beauty prep and post-ceremony recovery for your guests.

A 16,200 sq ft convention center with 10 meeting rooms handles everything from a full wedding reception for 400 to smaller pre-wedding welcome events and rehearsal gatherings. Individual air-conditioning, AV systems, and sound in every room.

The resort’s principal dining venue with a rotating spread covering Mexican classics, international staples, and live-action cooking stations. Open three meals a day with a different focus at each service.
Dedicated à la carte Mexican dining featuring traditional recipes rooted in Jalisco cuisine — mole, fresh seafood preparations, and regional dishes that reflect the resort’s Pacific coast address.
Pacific seafood featured prominently on an à la carte menu — ceviche, grilled catch of the day, and preparations that make direct use of Puerto Vallarta’s position on one of Mexico’s most productive coastlines.
Grilled meats and open-fire preparations in an à la carte format — a consistently popular choice for groups looking for a hearty dinner option on nights away from the buffet.

Beachside bar service throughout the day with cocktails, local beers, and light refreshments. One of the most-used spots for groups spending relaxed afternoons on the sand between wedding events.
An elevated bar and lounge with panoramic views over Bahía de Banderas — a natural choice for pre-dinner cocktails and the most scenic spot on the resort for catching the Pacific sunset as a group.
A social hub in the resort’s main lobby area — full cocktail and wine service in an air-conditioned setting. Well suited for pre-dinner gatherings, late-night drinks, and informal group meetups throughout the week.
Light snacks, desserts, and ice cream available between meal services — filling the gap during afternoon hours when the main restaurants are closed and keeping guests fueled between pool and beach time.
Note: Specific restaurant names, individual menus, and hours of operation should be confirmed with the resort at time of booking. The resort offers 11 all-inclusive dining experiences; the descriptions above represent the general dining program based on available resort information.
