- El Cid Resorts
As they say at El Cid, “If you can dream it, we can plan it.” When it comes to planning your romantic wedding or vow renewal ceremony, count on El Cid’s experienced team of wedding planners. Because the resort is comprised of four hotels, the options for venues are endless. My personal favorite is the El Cid Marina Beach Hotel with its beachside Club de Marina, one of the most popular venues. Located in the heart of the Golden Zone, El Cid makes it convenient for your guests to go sightseeing. No matter in which of their hotels you’re staying, the resort offers free shuttle service to all of its hotels and facilities. Your guests can enjoy a round of golf, tennis or spa treatments at El Cid’s Country Club. The resort offers package options that will facilitate the planning of your wedding or renewal ceremony. With four hotel options, El Cid can accommodate everything from intimate to large receptions. Standard suites feature traditional Mexican terracotta tile floors and Mediterranean-inspired decor, as well as satellite TVs and wireless Internet access, while larger accommodations also boast a balcony or patio.

- Pueblo Bonito Emerald Bay Resort & Spa
This is Pueblo Bonito’s newest property. Although situated on the northern side of town – a slight disadvantage for guests who might want easier access to sightseeing – its location off the beaten path offers some nice advantages. One of the perks of the resort’s remote location is its ability to accommodate on its private beach not only the ceremony, but also a large reception of up to 300 guests. Other venue options include poolside esplanades near the resort’s restaurants and garden gazebos. The 20-acre property is lush with palm trees,featuring a sprawling pool with prime coastal views facing the Pacific Ocean. The resort’s 378 suites and villas offer striking vistas from their private balconies and terraces. Amenities include kitchenettes, satellite TVs and Wi-Fi access. Together with your wedding party and guests, you can enjoy the resort’s Armonia Spa as well as shuttle service to its sister property, Pueblo Bonito Mazatlán, located in the Golden Zone. Pueblo Bonito Emerald Bay can host weddings of up to 380 people; wedding planners are available.
