A destination wedding planner who speaks your language — and your vendors'. We plan villa, beach-club and yacht weddings across Banderas Bay in English and Spanish, from the first villa visit to the last late-night taco, and our own chef team cooks the reception.
The florist, the mariachi, the rental truck, the villa manager, the civil-registry judge and the boat captain all work in Spanish. Your guests, your parents and your contracts are in English. A bilingual wedding planner is the one person on your wedding who can speak to both sides without anything getting paraphrased twice — negotiating local rates in Spanish and reporting back to you, line by line, in English.
PVR Private Chef adds something most planners can't: the same bilingual team that builds your timeline also cooks your welcome dinner, reception and recovery brunch. One contact, one contract, and no gap between "the planner" and "the caterer".
Everything a destination wedding in Puerto Vallarta needs — coordinated in the language each piece requires.
We know which villas allow music after 10 pm, which beach clubs do private buyouts and what the real fees are — and we read the Spanish rental contract before you sign.
Florists, photographers, mariachi, DJs, officiants, rentals, transport. Local pricing negotiated in Spanish, every quote translated into one comparison sheet.
Registro Civil, judge, apostilles and certified translations for a legal Mexican wedding — or a bilingual officiant for a symbolic ceremony with your own vows.
One master timeline in English for you and your guests, one operational version in Spanish for the crew — written by the same person so they always match.
Airport pickups, hotel blocks, shuttle schedules, a guest WhatsApp group in English and welcome bags with a bilingual itinerary.
Welcome dinner, tasting, plated or family-style reception, custom cake and recovery brunch — cooked fresh on-site by our wedding dinner team.
Four steps from "we're engaged" to "we're married on the bay". You choose the date; we do the phone calls.
In English or Spanish — dates, guest count, budget range, venue ideas, legal vs. symbolic, and how much planning you want to hand over.
Venue shortlist, translated vendor quotes, a draft weekend timeline and a menu concept, with one quote for planning and dinner.
Menu tasting with the planner and the chef at the same table, contracts signed, dietary map collected from guests in English.
We arrive before the first vendor and leave after the last rental is loaded. Ceremony, toasts, dinner and send-off cued in both languages.
One bilingual team of Puerto Vallarta chefs and planners for every event of your wedding week.
Most florists, musicians, rental companies, drivers and the civil registry in Puerto Vallarta work in Spanish. A bilingual planner negotiates and briefs vendors in Spanish, translates every quote and contract for you, and runs the day in both languages so nothing is lost between your guests and the crew.
Venue and villa search, vendor sourcing and negotiation, translated quotes and contracts, budget and payment tracking, legal or symbolic ceremony coordination, a bilingual master timeline, guest logistics (transport, hotel blocks, welcome bags), day-of coordination and — because we are also a private chef team — the welcome dinner, reception dinner and recovery brunch.
Yes. We coordinate the Registro Civil, the judge, apostilled documents, certified translations and any local requirements such as blood tests, and arrange a bilingual officiant so the vows are read in English alongside the Spanish ceremony. We also explain when a symbolic ceremony is the simpler choice.
No. You can hire us for planning only, catering only, or both. Most couples choose both because one bilingual team for the timeline and the kitchen removes the most common gap on a destination wedding.
For high season (November to April) reserve 9 to 12 months ahead. Villa weddings and elopements in shoulder or rainy season can be planned in 3 to 6 months. Contact us early even with a flexible date.
Pricing depends on scope — day-of coordination, partial planning or full planning — plus guest count and the number of events over the weekend. Every wedding is quoted individually after a short call; send your date, venue and headcount and we will reply within 24 hours.
