Paulina & Manuel — Wedding in San Sebastián del Oeste

San Sebastián del Oeste, a magical town in Jalisco

San Sebastián del Oeste is a little magical town of Jalisco, located about 50 miles from Puerto Vallarta and accessible by plane or road. It offers a unique scenery made of old gold and silver mines, hundred-year-old haciendas and majestic mountains. Paulina & Manuel couldn't have found a more romantic place to celebrate their wedding.

Immerse yourself in the past

If you want to take a trip into the past and immerse yourself in the early 1900s, San Sebastián is THE place you are looking for. There, you can learn everything about gold mining in the town's museum, or visit one of the many haciendas that have been restored.

Where to stay

El Pabellón Mexicano is one of them, and has been transformed into a boutique hotel that hosted the getting ready of our two little birds. Once dressed, we all headed to San Sebastián's church, where a traditional Catholic ceremony blessed our couple's union. Many emotions were expressed that day, and tears were difficult to handle for everyone.

Fortunately, my very good friend Cinthia from Emmotions Wedding had planned a wonderful reception. Every detail was nicely taken care of, from the enormous flower arrangements to the little plant souvenirs guests could take home. Dinner was served on original wood slices that added some fun to the food.

I really enjoyed being with Paulina and Manuel and witnessing their love. Their wedding turned out to be amazing from beginning to end, and I wish them the same happy ending for their life.
