    Perfection!

    There are not enough positive words to describe Martoca. We had our wedding there in February 2024 and it was honestly perfect!! Jimmy was helpful from the moment that we emailed him back in 2022 and got started with the wedding planning journey. Marisol was our wedding planner and she is an absolute angel and sooo incredible at her job! Our guests can't say enough wonderful things about our day- the venue is absolutely STUNNING, all of the staff are incredible, the service was impeccable, the food was outstanding. Only complaint is that it went by too fast!! We wish we could do it all over again and are already planning a 10 year vow renewal and will go back to Martoca for this!! If you are at all thinking about having your wedding at Martoca...the answer is yes!! You will not regret it!!

    Martoca Weddings's reply:

    Amiga Megan,
    Thank you for this lovely message for our team and Marisol. I will make sure they all read it in our weekly meeting. I know how much you love to travel all over Mexico so for you to have chosen us and thought this highly of us--It feels extra special. Thank you. Come back in 10 years and we will have a more traditional menu. Maybe we can make a day of it and cook Pescado Sarandeado on the grill or something super fun!
    Thank you so much for your trust.

    Wedding of our dreams

    Martoca seriously exceeded our expectations for our wedding day. It has now been a week since the date but we are still feeling the afterglow as every one of our guests continue to describe our wedding as the most beautiful and exceptional wedding they have been to. Mar (wedding planner) was incredibly helpful and would respond immediately even if we texted her late in the night (she also has a newborn baby!). Mar is truly incredible and was able to turn our “vision board” into the wedding of our dreams. At the wedding itself she ran the ship like a captain to make sure everything went smoothly and streamlined. Jimmy was also very warm and had excellent responsiveness and communication. You can also see how much attention to detail Jimmy put into the venue and it is absolutely stunning. Both Jimmy and Mar are very trustworthy and are incredibly attentive to any of our inquiries/requests. I could go on forever but Martoca will always be a part of our hearts. (P.S. do the fireworks…they are worth it)

    Amigos Martocos :)
    Thank you for your kind words. I loved seeing you spend such an awesome time in your secluded villa in Tomatlán. I love seeing you enjoy Mexico so much, And Martoca.
    Couples like you are what make our world go around. Come back and have some margaritas with us and chill by the pool. To reminisce.
    Mi casa es su casa.

    Best Day Ever!!

    If we could recommend Martoca to every single person we know, we would!!! We got married in January 2024 and we could not have asked for a better day. It was such a dream come true and Martoca truly went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations from day one. They were able to take our vision and match every single detail perfectly. Planning a destination wedding brings a lot of anxiety and having a planner working with you every step of the way made such a huge difference. Mariana was so wonderful to work with, very responsive, and helped us through a major debacle of shipping 90+ champagne glasses internationally. Every single guest raved about the wedding- how incredibly beautiful the venue was, hope insanely good the service was, and how much they loved the food. The DJ was also AMAZING- which was one of our biggest concerns when planning a wedding! We loved our wedding so so much and we would do choose Martoca over and over again!! Thank you so much for the most perfect day.

    Martoca Weddings's reply:

    My dear Martocos :), You are most welcome. It was our honor and pleasure to make your dreams come true. And to take away the stress and anxiety :) I love the bridesmaids' dresses and tones. Thank you for trusting our DJ :) MIs amigos Martocos, we love you and thank you.

    The Greatest Wedding Venue in all of PV!

    We had our wedding at Martoca Beach Garden in January of 2024 and it was amazing. Everything you are promised in the beginning (a wedding planner, full access to the most amazing / romantic venue, being treated like family, and the fact that you can fully customize your wedding) was absolutely spot on. Our wedding planner and the owner were always very quick to respond and let us plan everything the way we wanted. Everything on our wedding day was 10/10 - The venue, the decor, the service, the food, the booze, the dj, the videographers were absolutely amazing!! They truly pulled off the wedding of our dreams. Our guests also had the absolute best time!

    I would highly recommend Martoca to anyone looking to get married in Mexico. Your dollar goes way further here than it ever could at a resort and you are always treated like family.

    Martoca Weddings's reply:

    Wow Thank you for such kind words amigos :) We loved having you. Your sunset was magical. I loved seeing that for you guys. Perfect weather :)
    Thank you and come back and see us for a fun picture session or some beers :)
    Su amigo,

    Best Night Of Our Lives!

    Martoca went above and beyond to give us our perfect wedding evening! Jimmy and Marisol were there every step of the way to help with any questions we had. All of our guests said it was one of the most FUN and beautiful wedding they have ever attended. The food is 1000000%. If the PV area is your destination …. Seriously look no further! You won’t regret it!

    Martoca Weddings's reply:

    Thank you so much for the love, amigos! We are proud of our team and Marisol.
    We love our food and bar! Our legendary Short Rib tres chiles mole and ceviches. Our fresh blended margs with local fruit.
    Thank you for your trust!

    An absolutely magical wedding!

    My husband and I cannot recommend this venue enough!! It was 5 star service throughout the planning process, leading up to the big day and our wedding day of course. They truly treat you like family and dedicate so much time into making your day so special. The venue itself is an absolute dream. We had only seen photos online before experiencing it the day of our wedding and can say it’s even better in person. The attention to detail in all of the decorations, florals, plated dinner and even music/DJ was PERFECT!! The staff was incredible and made the overall vibe so much fun. And don’t even get me started on the food and drinks including the late night tacos, churros and guacamole it was some of the BEST food we had during our entire trip to Puerto Vallarta. We want to specially thank Marisol and Jimmy for their patience and dedication to making sure we were informed on everything leading up to the big day and always made time to talk whenever we needed assistance. Highly recommend having your wedding at Martoca Beach Garden!!! Absolute dream come true!!!

    Martoca Weddings's reply:

    That you so much amigos míos :) We love to know that you are so happy. We truly enjoy spreading the love and sharing Martoca with our newest Martocos. Your photos are sooo pretty. I am very happy for you. The lighting was so perfect.
    Congratulations amigos! Come back and see us sometime and have some more photos taken whenever you like. :)
    Su amigo,

    Incredible Venue & Team

    Marisol, Jimmy, and the whole team at Martoca Beach Garden gave my wife the most incredible wedding experience we possibly could've asked for.

    Couples will frequently hear from friends leading up to the wedding "Things will probably go wrong, but just let it roll off and have fun" - we can honestly say that NOTHING went wrong and EVERYTHING went right as part of our experience.

    From the food, to the decorations, to the staff's service it was nothing short of incredible - our friends haven't stopped talking about it almost 3 months later.

    If you're planning a beach wedding in the Puerto Vallarta area this is your spot.

    P.S.: Splurge on the videographer, fireworks, and sparklers :)

    Martoca Weddings's reply:

    Amigos Martocos Austin and Rachel,
    I am so thankful for your lovely remarks on the fact hat nothing went wrong. :) Many times things go wrong. I would say in all weddings. The trick is to not let you guys know or feel it, haha. We are masters of disguise.
    We loved having you and having new friends in Austin. See you soon either here or up there. We will do Margs. Take in either some bats or some pelicans flying by! :)
    Su amigo,
    Jimmy

    Wedding of our dreams

    My partner and I first visited Martoca (all the way from Australia) in 2017 to plan for our 2020 wedding. Unfortunately Covid had other plans and we had to postpone until 2023. With this, came stress, concern and frustration; working with Mariana (from Martoca) throughout the whole process was (almost) as amazing as the wedding itself. She was consistent and calm as well as accomodating and knowledgeable. We had a vision that we worked with Mariana to make come true. Having 40 of our loved ones travel from all over the world we wanted to put on a show, and that we did. The venue, execution, decorations, vibes, music, food, drink, service.... everything, was second to none. 6 months later, we still have guests telling us it was not only the best wedding they have ever been to, but the best party and experience of their lives. We are so grateful to Martoca and we would recommend time and time again.

    Martoca Weddings's reply:

    We had a great journey together. I am sorry we had to endure 3 or 4 reschedules haha! But 4 or 5 years later we did it. I am thankful for you lovely words and patience. It was a pleasure to create this wedding for you. Our Aussie Martocos :)
    One can tell a lot about people in times of adversity. You guys behaved as gentlemen and classy all the way.
    I appreciate your time and trust. I am glad we made you proud.
    Thank you

    MOST Wonderful Wedding Venue EVER

    When I first found Martoca online and I spoke with Jimmy (the owner) I thought to myself this seems perfect- this is too good to be true. I started following Martoca Beach Garden on Instagram (they have a great IG page) and I kept seeing reviews posted raving about Martoca. Trust me when I say all the amazing 5 star reviews are 100% accurate. Martoca is the most wonderful wedding venue ever. And we had the most amazing wedding. It exceeded all expectations.

    The venue is as gorgeous as it looks in pictures. The gardens and grounds are beautiful. The views are incredible. The sunset was perfect.

    Jimmy and Marisol (our wedding planner) accommodated our every request. Marisol understood my vision perfectly (I wanted lots of color and vibrant fun vibes) and she went above and beyond with little extra touches throughout. The decor was gorgeous. The flowers were so beautiful and vibrant and fun. It was all perfect. She even created a special chandelier of Poms! It was awesome.

    Food and drinks: food and drinks are very important to us! And we were very specific in our requests to have all fresh food that was on the healthy side. So they even altered their recipes to accommodate us. And the food was delicious! The drinks were fresh and perfect.
    Furthermore the service was impeccable. The server were on top of our every need and never let our drinks get low before they had a fresh cocktail to replace it. Truly top-tier service.

    From the start Jimmy and his team made the entire process easy and stress-free. They are very easy to reach; responding to our questions promptly (which isn't always the case at other venues).

    They listened to my every wish and made sure everything was perfect, and it was.

    My friends and family haven't stopped talking about how this was the best wedding they've ever been to. I don't disagree.

    Martoca Weddings's reply:

    Gracias, amiga Jenny. I am so touched :) We are very proud to make Martocos like Y'all so happy. What a beautifully decorated Mexican Boho Chic Idea you had. We just executed. Well, Marisol did, haha. I just cheer her on and make sure the drinks are full and that we are in high spirits as a team.
    Thank you for your trust and your advice. I have been working on a lot of fun ideas for future Martocos. Come by some time and take some pictures and have some Tart citrus Martinis :) and Mules :)
    Su amigo,
    Jimmy

    Even our dreams weren't this good...

    We got married in January 2024 at Martoca Beach garden, and it exceeded every expectation we had. First off, the venue is out of a postcard and sells itself. However, we were more impressed by the team and their dedication to making our wedding everything we could have dreamed and more. Jimmy, Marisol and Monse were able to bring to life our vision all the way down to the smallest details. We are so happy and would highly recommend Martoca and the team to any couple looking for the perfect wedding.

    Martoca Weddings's reply:

    Thank you so much Martocos, Ed y Tiff!
    I loved your photos! Your decor and the classic look with the jungle vibe and ocean sunset backdrop worked perfectly! You rocked it. We are glad to have exceeded your expectations. What a wonderful journey.
    Come back and see us :) We will have micheladas!

    Our Martoca wedding was a dream come true!

    My wife, Stacy, and I got married at Martoca in February 2023 and it was absolutely amazing. Our special day was everything we hoped it would be and so much more. Marisol, Jimmy, and the entire Martoca team hosted and created the best day of our lives. Everything was incredible. The flowers and decor were absolutely beautiful, the food was amazing, and service was excellent. There was never a moment I didn’t have a topped off drink in my hand. We were nervous to plan a destination wedding and not be on the ground when all the decisions were being made but what we wanted was somehow exceeded. It was truly a dream come true!

    Martoca Weddings's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words amigas :) I am so glad your wedding was so full of joy and great drinks! We enjoyed your colorful buganvila wedding ;) So pretty.
    Come back and see us sometime for some Margaritas!
    Muchas gracias amigas!

    Amazing experience!

    I cannot say enough great things about Martoca. We got married there on 1/15/23 and are so happy we did! Jimmy was so friendly and responsive answering our questions in the beginning, and he immediately made us feel at ease. From there the experience was a dream! Planning a wedding in another country comes with its challenges, but Marisol assured us every step of the way and in the end put together something more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. Looking back on the day there isn’t a single thing I would change or that I wish was done differently. Our guests had a great time and the photos are breathtaking - there is truly not a more picturesque beach garden setting out there! I can’t recommend Martoca enough. Thank you Jimmy, Marisol and team for a day we will never forget!

    Martoca Weddings's reply:

    Thank you so much amiga Stephanie.
    We had so much fun with your wedding. Your mom looked so happy :) Your photos were so pretty.
    Please come back and see us sometime and take some family pics some day.
    Hugs :)

    Best Venue. Even Better Service!

    It's been just over three weeks since our beautiful wedding at Martoca on 04/22/22 and I wanted to reflect and share how truly incredible (not to mention stress free and easy!!) the whole experience was. From the first email inquiry with Jimmy, to the bus ride back to our hotel after the wedding- everything was a breeze. I know what you might be thinking; wedding planning and the words breeze, easy, stress-free don’t usually belong in the same sentences, but let me tell you its true!

    Jimmy was amazing to work with and eased our nerves as we made the choice for the location to have one most important day of our lives held at. Jimmy was quick to respond and even quicker to accommodate our requests. After we booked, we then worked with our Martoca wedding planner Marisol to finalize the vision and details. Marisol is incredible at what she does. I cannot say enough great things about working with her. She was so quick to respond to us, and truly captured our vision for a fun and colorful wedding with lots of Mexican details. She went above and beyond in every way. I have seen my fellow bride friends and family members stressed and struggling in the lead up to their weddings, and bc I knew I was in great hands with Martoca and the team I was able to relax knowing that everything was being handled. They are truly wedding experts. Not only did they do an incredible job at the wedding, but they also helped with recommendations for the hotel our guests stayed at, the catamaran we took the day after, and tour companies and activities to share with our guests.

    Now to the big day. Even though we had done a table trial, I was BLOWN AWAY first seeing the venue decorated in our style and literally left speechless only able to say the occasional WOW. The attention to detail was incredible. The flowers were so much more than I ever dreamed they would be! The venue is even more beautiful in person. You can feel how much love and effort is put into maintaining the grounds and gardens. The photography team, DJ, bartenders and service staff and everyone involved in the big day were top notch. Countless family and friends told us it was the most beautiful and fun wedding they had ever been to. Service is where a Martoca truly shines. We appreciate each person at Martoca who had a part in making our day, and really the entire wedding week, everything we ever dreamed of. We had a fantastic wedding and we highly recommend Martoca.

    Martoca Weddings's reply:

    Wow, what wonderful kind words, thank YOU amigos Lauren and Chip. :) We pride ourselves in service and family style treatment for Martocos. Thank you soooo much for taking the time to comment on your Martoca Wedding. I am so happy you loved your wedding so much.
    We loved your decor and truly like those couples who allow for our Mexican culture to be displayed. 🙌
    Gracias amigos! Martocos Forever!- Jimmy

    Dream wedding venue

    No words, videos or pictures can describe the magic of this place. Maybe it’s the amazing views, or maybe is the great staff they have, or it could just be that they make every step of this experience and planning so effortless and stress free, yet they delivered the highest quality wedding. My husband and I still talk about that day and how it felt like a dream. Keep in mind that he is the typical guy that “doesn’t care about the wedding”. Yet, he was in awe and fell in love with every single detail of our wedding. We still talk about it at least once every other day lol. The food, the dj, churros, tacos, dance floor, fireworks, FLOWERS!, staff and pretty much everything. We wish we could relieve that day over and over again. Thank you Jimmy and team!

    Martoca Weddings's reply:

    Amiga Melissa, Thank you so much :)
    We love that we could make you both so happy. We pride ourselves on great customer service and quality of decor and food and bar. Our casa is your casa, amigos Martocos!

    Martoca Dream Wedding

    I don’t even know where to start! We were looking for a venue that we could truly make our own- and Martoca surely did not disappoint! There wasn’t a single thing that we would change. The flowers, decor, food, incredibly courteous staff, unbelievable wedding planner, and super talented vendors made our special day absolutely perfect! To say Mariana is a rockstar, would be a total understatement! She took unbelievable care of us from the start- was always super quick to respond, had tons of great ideas when we couldn’t figure out details, and most importantly, never said no to any of our crazy ideas! Literally anything and everything we asked for, Mariana and the vendors made happen for us. We had so many compliments from our guests about the incredible staff as well. The attentiveness was what you’d expect from a high quality restaurant, definitely not a wedding. The food was another raved about portion of the evening. It was truly incredible. The presentation was like nothing we’ve ever seen at a wedding. It truly was a day that we’ll never forget, and neither will our guests. If you’re looking for a completely one-of-a-kind destination wedding, don’t waste your time looking anywhere else but here!

First you place Your trust us, then we reward your trust with huge surprises and deliver an amazing wedding. And then you write spectacular reviews and the circle continues with the next Martocos.
    So welcome again into our Martoca family and let the circle of trust continue...

    Su amigo,

    Best wedding Venue Ever!

    I truly do not even know where to start. My husband Ryan and I got married about 8 weeks ago at Martoca Beach Garden. I always wanted a destination wedding but was never entirely sure what that would look like. We were referred to Martoca by some family friends and of course I did a deep dive into the reviews. It looked great, I booked our date and hoped it was as good as everyone said it was...

    Needless to say, our wedding day was one million times better than any review could have led me to believe. The entire process was incredibly smooth and Jimmy and his team (I worked with Marisol- fantastic) made themselves incredibly available. They were so quick to answer questions, calm nerves and figure out a solution to any crazy requests. The wedding planning process was so relational and fun - The wedding industry in the states has become a bit out of hand but the process with Martoca made me feel like family.

    As for the day itself, I genuinely would not change one thing. From the buses picking up our guests, to timeline, to amazing food, PERFECT decor, fireworks, churro bar, taco bar, cigar bar.. the list can go on. They executed so effortlessly!! Not to mention the service was excellent. It's been over 8 weeks and I don't think we have gone a single day without talking to a friend or family member and them referencing our wedding day. It was beyond special.

    From the bottom of my heart I could not recommend Martoca Beach Garden any more. They will listen, they will execute and they will treat you like family along the way. If you are even remotely considering a destination wedding - Martoca is the spot. We are forever grateful for the amazing memories and friendships made along the way. ❤️

    My Dear Team Joyce and Ray and Bartolomuccis :)
    It was an absolute honor and pleasure to guide you through this fun journey that was your Martoca Wedding. It was such a blast! I knew we would not let you down. In fact, we fell in love with your family so much that we had to double and triple efforts to make Sur we made you proud :) Note to future brides: Becoming friends pays off haha. You described our style best-"relational and fun". That is all I want from our family of Martocos, we just need to have fun while planning your wedding. Period. And you amigos, made it very easy and fun to work for you. So that is always best for all. I owe you guys some salsas. Don't think I have forgotten. As soon as I can get a couple of weeks of rest I will make them and ship them to San Francisco. As well as your Martoca Family plaque :) Martocos forever!
    Love, Jimmy and Marisol and Martoca family: your family.

    Extraordinary Wedding! Beyond our wildest dreams

    We do not even know where to begin here. Martoca were amazing from the very first interactions with Jimmy and Mariana we knew we were in amazing hands for our wedding planning, especially after having to cancel our original plans due to covid. They took care of everything we needed and were flexible in almost everything we wished for to make our celebration feel just right for how we wanted it. Whether it was decor changes, menu tweaks, bar additions, Mariana's runs to Costco for snack bag items and changes to adding or removing guests down to the last minute, it was never a problem for the Martoca family! Mariana and Jimmy made us, as well as our family and friends, feel so welcome at their family property from the first time we laid eyes on it until we all left after an amazing wedding celebration. We cannot thank them, as well as all the Martoca family staff for all they did to make this wedding better than our wildest expectations. If we could now only go back and do it all over again, that would be as close to the amazing feeling that Martoca gifted us. Love Nick & Lauren 1/29/22 xoxo

    Martoca Weddings's reply:

    Amigos Lauren and Nick,

    You are such good people. It always makes our wedding journey together that much more joyful and easy when Martocos are good folks. A wedding plan only can work when all parties involved pull towards the same goal. And trust each other.
    The Martoca family circle of trust ⭕️ was tested with the bad CoRona. For sure. But we overcame and even gained nee family. And had good Corona 🍺 instead. :)
    So it was all worth it in the end.
    Gracias amigos Martocos! ❤️ 🙏 ⭕️-Jimmy

    An amazing experience - loved this venue

    If you're looking around at a few venues - truly, you won't do better than Martoca! We had to move our date 4 times due to Covid and each time, Mar Ibarra (she's so wonderful if you're lucky enough to get her) was responsive and took care of the details. The venue walk through was awesome and got us so excited for the day - the food tasting and the tablescape were perfect and she really managed to capture what my vibe was (they really excel at the boho chic look which is why we booked, but manage to make each wedding unique which you can tell on their instagram page that Jimmy does a great job of running so you can see what all your possibilities are). We were originally scheduled for January and ended up in October - much hotter than we thought, and while there wasn't supposed to be any rain, we managed to get a freak storm ONLY on our wedding day. I was worried that a tent wouldn't look good since you're coming for the view of the ocean, but Mar and her team pulled it off beautifully (and the rain held off until exactly at 11pm and the last song had finished so the Martoca gods were looking out for us). Maite who does the flowers is an absolute master - my floral wedding backdrop was gorgeous and made our pictures from the ceremony so beautiful! I was obsessed with my bouquet and wish I could have taken it home, and the centerpieces were amazing which we did a combo of high and low and she made each one absolutely perfect! I cannot say enough good things about Mar, Maite and the rest of their staff - truly they were all fantastic especially the serving team. No one wanted for a drink all evening as they were always bringing drinks and shots to the dance floor and the lounge areas (and even more impressive is that due to all the delays of the wedding, I was pregnant for our big day, and they still managed to keep me in virgin margaritas and were constantly bringing me water to stay hydrated). Definitely recommend getting the fireworks, the cigar roller (he was such a big hit with all the guys), and we did both the churros and the late night tacos because I couldn't decide and while it might have been a bit of overkill since the dinner was AMAZING and everyone was full - I'm so glad we got all the extras that made the evening stand out. Back to the dinner - the presentation was fabulous and the food was delicious. It's not wedding food - it's quality from a restaurant and everyone raved about it. Truly I wouldn't change anything about our day and the team at Martoca is who pulled it off beautifully - they care about what they're doing and make sure to deliver. I can't recommend this location, Jimmy, Mar, Maite and their team any more than saying BOOK MARTOCA! The reviews all speak for themselves with everyone being so happy with how their day turned out for them - I know we're thrilled with the results and wish we could do the day over again (minus the whole pregnant thing haha .... ). Thank you, Martoca! You guys are amazing!

    Martoca Weddings's reply:

    Hola Martocos :)
    Thank you so much for your lovely description of our wedding team amiga--It takes a village... :) And yes, We did have to change the date a few times right? haha. I had forgotten about how many times we restarted planning. Thank you for your patience and trust!
    Congratulations on your new baby Martoco.

    We definitely need to have you back for Margaritas with actual Tequila in them :)
    Martocos Forever!

    10 STARS!!! Dream wedding venue!!

    A HUGE thanks to Jimmy, Marisol, and the entire Martoca team for bringing all my wedding dreams to life! I’m not exaggerating when I say, this venue is a dream. Walking in the giant copper gate, I felt like Alice walking into wonderland. This venue is breathtaking and everything, from the florists to the catering, are top notch. Our guests still rave about it! Not to mention, the ease of having all vendors under one umbrella made my life SO much easier. When I unexpectedly had a medical emergency and had to reschedule (something that was very emotionally overwhelming) Marisol and Jimmy were amazing and incredibly supportive. Having Marisol to handle all the specifics, I can say I was a pretty stress-free bride. The service and staff at our wedding were incredible! If I could give 10 stars I would!

    Martoca Weddings's reply:

    My Dear Liz,
    Thank you for such kind words :)
    Marisol and I and the entire team loved helping you through your emergency. Life is full of challenges. What is of God is out of our hands. We can only do our best to endure and fight through it. We feel it is duty as humans to aid others in their time of need. Especially when it is beyond their power to control such fate. So we were honored to help. We will always stand by you and any Martocos when we can. It is an honor to have you in our family.
    Our Martoca Family circle ⭕️ of Trust is better and stronger because of couples like you that support us and take the time to help us with such kind gestures as this lovely review of our services and venue.
    I am very happy for you and that you are well and loved your Martoca Wedding. You guys rocked it!
    Thank you so much.- ❤️ 🙏 ⭕️ Jimmy

    Best day ever!

    I always get teary eyed when I think about my wedding at Martoca Beach Garden.
    I never thought about a destination wedding because when I thought about destination weddings I thought about resort weddings. One day I stumbled upon Martoca from Pinterest and Jimmy emailed me back almost immediately. From day one he was super responsive and helpful. We had never been to Puerto Vallarta so me and my husband were going into this completely blind. Jimmy was a god send when it came to suggestions on where to stay, where to eat and things to do in the area and just over all being there for us.

    After almost a year we finally booked the venue. I was assigned Mariana and Salvador as my wedding planners and I could not imagine my day without them. They both went out of their way to surprise me with flower that I fell in love with. Mariana met me 3 days before my wedding and knew exactly what type of wedding I wanted (yes, we changed the look of my wedding 3 days before) and there was not one bit of me that was worried about how it would all come together. Everything was perfection. So many guest still talk about my wedding saying it was the best and most beautiful wedding they have ever been too. Get the fireworks, get the mariachi, and get the TACOS AND CHURROS! Food was fantastic, presentation and overall quality. All the staff and servers were great. The DJ was great. Everyone was great. I would have my wedding at Martoca over and over again.

    Martoca Weddings's reply:

    Thank you so much amiga :) You guys did great ;)
    We were happy to help and we love showing our couples what the best fit is for their particular tastes and budgets. Thank you for trusting Martoca and our team. I loved how we started in Austin just talking and we ended up having you as Martoca family. You are Martocos now ;) Thank you and we are so happy you booked sight unseen. Thank you for taking a chance -Jimmy

    Wouldn't change a single thing!

    I still have people comment on how incredible our wedding was...and it's been over two years! On top of that, I have people who weren't there tell me often how gorgeous it looked just based on photos alone. What they don't know is that the photos don't do it justice! We worked closely with Jimmy and Mar to make our vision come to life. We didn't actually visit beforehand, so we didn't have a true idea of what the venue looked like, but it ended up being beyond MAGICAL thanks to the work of the Martoca team. I was speechless when I first walked into the garden, and it somehow just kept getting better and better. Their attention to detail is second to none, and I'd highly recommend getting married here. In fact, I wish I could go back in time and do it all over again. I truly would not have changed a thing about it! The food, flowers, table designs, custom signage, drinks, music, cigar bar....everything was perfect. Oh, and absolutely do the churros and tacos to end the night! We are so thankful for the Martoca team for making our wedding day an absolute fairytale.

    Wow, what an unexpected surprise :)
    Thank you so much, amiga. We are so happy for you. We loved creating this wedding. It looked so Boho-chic or tropical jungle chic :) Loved it.
    It was cool how we met in Austin in person for the initial consultation... the whole journey was just cool. The pictures are amazing. :)
    Thank you so much for taking the time to write these lovely words.
    Su amigo,
    Jimmy

    Wedding of our dreams at Martoca Beach Garden!

    Where to begin?

    My husband and I settled on Martoca after a worldwide search for the perfect venue. We wanted a beautiful destination wedding that could not only provide the perfect scene to get married, but also the perfect vacation destination for our guests. From our first message with them, we knew it was a match. They respond to messages within minutes, cater to every single question and idea no matter how small, and make you feel as though you’re family.

    My sister was married there back in 2018 and after going as a guest, I realized how special this place really is. The sunset views during the ceremony, the smiles on all the staff, and the insane greenery, flowers, and setup make this the best wedding venue in the world.

    Because Martoca does everything in-house, the process is a breeze compared to other places where you would have to find your own vendors. They do their own flowers, alcohol, food, cake, setup, and DJ. They are willing to cater to any request no matter how big or small. Wedding day transportation is included for the wedding party and all guests which was such a relief because getting married in a foreign country can be stressful in terms of coordinating things like that.

    The wedding coordinator that we were provided, Veronica, is a gift from God! She will work with you from the very beginning until your sparkler send off to make sure every aspect of your day is perfect. She responds within seconds, is ALWAYS available, and makes you feel as if your wedding is the only thing that matters. Because our wedding was during the pandemic there were a million things that needed to be rearranged, and rescheduled. She made it all possible. We were truly blessed to have had her by our side.

    In terms of the area around Martoca itself, you have so many options for hotels, beaches, restaurants, and wedding event venues! Punta de Mita offers tons of luxury hotels within a 20 minute drive. Puerto Vallarta offers a massive hotel zone with no shortage of things to do.

    We are secretly hoping that one of our guests will decide to use Martoca as their venue one day so we can go back! It truly was the wedding of our dreams and Martoca made it all possible.

    O & S

    Martoca Weddings's reply:

    Amigo Sammy and amiga Odette,

    I have no words to thank you for such a kind and thoughtful review. I am sure future Martocos will benefit so much from your description.
    Want to be partners? Lol.
    You guys are our fist family legacy for Martoca—Brother and sister married in Martoca. So cool. We are truly family now.
    Thank you for your very kind and thoughtful words. We do our best to make all Couples as happy as possible.
    We loved having the Solis family again. And our new Kassar family in Martoca.
    Come back anytime and visit. Next time we will cook or have some ceviche by the pool and hang out as Martocos do on non-wedding days :)
    Our casa es su casa, Martocos!
    -Su amigo, Jimmy
