Why choose Hacienda San Angel as a venue

Puerto Vallarta, a romantic destination since 1964

If you are seeking romance, you are already making a good choice with Puerto Vallarta as your wedding destination. Beautiful sunsets, many dinner options and the unforgettable Mexican hospitality made Puerto Vallarta one of the top destinations in North America since it was discovered by the media in the 1960s. The filming of The Night of the Iguana in 1964 starred Richard Burton and Liz Taylor and their famous romance. A few months later, the whole world discovered Banderas Bay and its incredible beauty. That was the beginning of Puerto Vallarta's transformation into the city we know today.

Travel into the past at Hacienda San Angel

Speaking of the two stars' romance, there is no better place to feel like those icons than Hacienda San Angel. The place was bought and re-modeled by Janice Chatterton, who filled it with a tremendous amount of art, offering a one-of-a-kind boutique hotel. Whether you choose to walk into the luxurious gardens of the property or enjoy the extensive views of Puerto Vallarta and Banderas Bay, Hacienda San Angel is definitely a must.

A boutique hotel with its own chapel

The best part of Hacienda San Angel, besides its gourmet restaurant, is that you and your family and friends will be able to celebrate your union in the hotel's own chapel, in the privacy of your group, enjoying the sunset over the Parroquia de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, Puerto Vallarta's iconic church. A mariachi band will then escort you to the reception room for an authentic Mexican-style wedding.

A new collaboration

This particular wedding was the occasion for me to start a new professional relationship with my good friend Eve from Eventives Wedding. It was our first wedding together and I really enjoyed working with her. The event was beautifully decorated and everything went according to plan. As for me, I focused on capturing their memories with my own style, mixing photojournalism and fine-art photography.
