Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - If you're dreaming of marrying your life partner with your toes in the sand and spending your honeymoon basking on a tropical beach, you should know that Puerto Vallarta, Mexico is LGBT friendly! As one of the world's top Gay and Lesbian friendly beach destinations, hundreds of couples flock to PV for romantic same-sex weddings.

Puerto Vallarta has enjoyed an international reputation for being a gay-friendly community since 1963. This was the year John Huston had settled in Mismaloya to film The Night of the Iguana. Not only did the blockbuster's director and big-name stars (Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor) put this quaint fishing village on the map, but its crew members had a lasting effect on the village by the bay. Many stayed long after the filming was completed, turning the area into a hot spot for gay residents and tourists.

Today, there are gay-friendly beaches, hotels, businesses, restaurants, night clubs, boutique shops and even a section of town, Zona Romantica, that attract gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender visitors each year. However, for those couples who wish to marry in the Vallarta area, it is recommended that you research all available venues before making a final decision.

If you're dreaming of marrying your true love in romantic Puerto Vallarta, you have several options. You can either start inquiring around town in search of a gay-friendly venue or call an independent, gay-friendly, Puerto Vallarta based wedding planner to steer you in the right direction.
