You should only book your trip after you have a valid passport. That is why we are sending "save the date" information now. If you currently have a passport, make sure the expiration date is after Aug. 31, 2026 or renew for an extended date. This is not a mexico issue, it is an airline issue.

You can book your room immediately, to ensure you get the room block rate and stay with your friends.

You may stay whereever you want to. Make this a vacation to remember!

I will give recommendations but do not feel obligated to stay at these locations. It would be helpful for events and transportation for the wedding.

I recommend any of the hotels / resorts in Marina Vallarta. Our home is at Tres Mares. You will be 10 minutes from the airport. Hotels : We have a room block at the Marriott. Westin is a great option too! (Westin / not the Regina / Raintree Club). If you want to rent a condo, you may look on airbnb and vrbo sites, use at your own risk. Condos- Tres Mares, Shangri - La are highly recommended. Portofino and anything further are good but closer to the airport. If you book there, ask the owner if the unit has been sound proofed. I personally do not know how loud they can be, and a lot of people love them. If you are a light sleeper, it may not be your first choice to stay.

We also prefer this location due to transportation to the wedding venue. A bus will stop at a couple locations along the way for pick up. If you choose not to stay in the Marina area, please work with your hosts to set up a taxi/uber/indrive/private transport to the wedding venue.

No. At this time, we do not have plans to have a ceremony or reception in Omaha, NE. That is why we would love to see you in Mexico.

No, we do not have a registry and we will not be having a registry. We do not need/want any gifts. The best gift we can receive from you is by showing your support and coming to the wedding. Because it is a desination wedding, it can be difficult to transport gifts to and from home (USA). If you still feel you need to give something - only a card please. We plan to create a book to preserve all wedding cards. Please check out Artkive, if you are interested in doing the same for your special event. https://www.cardsbyartkive.com/
