    The best day ever!

    My wife and I are so glad that we chose Martoca for our wedding celebration. It was truly a dream and exceeded all expectations.

    Marisol, Fatima, Jimmy, the photographer/videographers and the rest of the Martoca crew were extremely easy to work with and accommodated all of our asks. Whenever we had a question or idea, we’d get an immediate response. No ask was too big (within reason) and the Martoca team made the planning process super easy and a joyful experience.

    From the moment we inquired about the venue, we received the best customer service. We even video called Marisol to see the venue and ended up putting down the deposit before seeing the venue in person. When we finally saw the venue for the first time, it was even more beautiful. It is literally the most stunning venue.

    The day of our wedding exceeded all expectations. To see everything come together was truly special. From the moment we arrived to the end of the night, everything was perfect. We had so many guests tell us that this was the best wedding that they had ever been to. My cousin said that he’s been to over 40 weddings and this was by far the most beautiful and fun yet. The service was exceptional, the servers and bartenders went above and beyond to ensure all of our guests were happy. My wife and I are still in shock and feel like it was a dream!

    We can’t thank the Mar + the Martoca team enough. If you’re thinking about having your special day at Martoca, you will not regret it!

    Martoca Weddings's reply:

    Thank you very much for your lovely words, amigos Martocos :) We pride ourselves in outstanding service and upfront expectations and delivery. Tell your cousin, the wedding crasher lol, that we are proud to have beaten all the other weddings, woohoo! :) Thank you for your trust and for taking the time to write about it.
    Su amigo,
    Jimmy

    Perfect wedding venue! 10 stars

    We were recently married in Mexico at Martoca Beach Garden, located just outside of Puerto Vallarta in Bucerías. It’s easily one of the most intimate and stunning venues I’ve ever seen for an event. Granted, it was our wedding, so I’m definitely biased, but the breathtaking location and views are hard to beat.
    We discovered this venue online three years ago and originally planned for a May 2023 wedding. As frequent visitors to Mexico—having gotten engaged in Sayulita—the location was incredibly important to us. During one of our pre-wedding visits, the Martoca team went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. They not only gave us a full tour of the venue but also took us to an offsite location where they showcased a variety of chairs, tables, glassware, and other details. They even prepared a full menu tasting with cocktails, allowing us to customize our selections and visualize exactly how everything would look on our special day.
    We had the pleasure of meeting Jimmy, the owner of the beautiful venue, and Mar, our absolutely indispensable wedding planner. Unfortunately, life threw us a curveball, and we had to postpone the wedding until November 2024. Despite this setback, the Martoca team continued to work with us for the entire year and a half leading up to the new date. They never once made us feel any less important. We also became close with Fatima, another amazing team member who kept us updated via WhatsApp on any menu or item changes and guided us through the entire process.
    Finally, the big day arrived, and the Martoca team handled everything flawlessly. We stayed at a hotel in Puerto Vallarta, and they arranged buses to transport our 80 guests to and from the venue safely. The photography and videography team were outstanding—they made us feel like celebrities being followed by paparazzi. The team included four on-site professionals and a fifth who coordinated with us beforehand to ensure every shot we wanted was captured.
    The venue exceeded every one of our expectations. The drinks, appetizers, and dinner were some of the best we’ve ever had in Mexico, staying true to the region’s authentic flavors. The fireworks we had over the ocean were bigger and brighter than anything I expected and I cannot recommend it enough if you are interested in using this venue. The entire team was not only professional and organized but also warm and welcoming.
    What truly stood out was the seamless care and attention to detail. We didn’t have to lift a finger—Mar and her team handled everything. Our family, friends, and, most importantly, my bride and I, had one of the most magical nights of our lives, all thanks to the exceptional team at Martoca Beach Garden. WE LOVE YOU!!

    Martoca Weddings's reply:

    We love you too, Martocos locos :) Thank you for such amazing kind words and for taking the time to write about your experience. we love that you enjoyed the menu. We created this menu for those who want to actually have Mexican food but not Tex-Mex, as in yellow cheese and lettuce on chimichangas, haha. We also are most proud that you are veterans of the area and found Martoca to be your choice! We are very honored.
    Our team leader Mariana is a true gem. Thank you for also mentioning Fatima and the entire team and the Martoca Films team. They will love it. :)
    Amigos Martocos, come by anytime. Our casa es su casa ;) Jimmy and Martoca family.

    The wedding of my dreams!

    We had the absolute dream wedding at Martoca Beach Garden! From the very beginning, Jimmy, the owner, was incredibly helpful in working with our budget while still ensuring we had all the beautiful and luxurious details that make Martoca weddings so magical. Unlike hotels or resorts, Martoca includes so many extras that truly elevate the experience.

    The venue itself is breathtaking—whether you opt for a simple or extravagant setup, it’s bound to be stunning and picturesque. Our wedding planner, Mariana, was a dream to work with. She was incredibly communicative, often responding within minutes, and made the entire planning process seamless. Since we couldn’t visit in person beforehand, we had to fully trust the process—and I can confidently say that the team exceeded our expectations. They took our Pinterest board and inspiration photos and turned them into something even more beautiful than we imagined. The décor, florals, and details were absolutely perfect.

    Although we were busy taking photos during cocktail hour and didn’t get to try many appetizers, our guests raved about how delicious they were. The same went for dinner—everyone loved the food! The DJ kept the party going all night, and my husband and I barely left the dance floor. The cigar bar was a huge hit, and the late-night churros and tacos were the perfect way to end the night. The fireworks? Absolutely a must!

    One thing to note is that the venue only allows certain types of live music (such as saxophone and violin) and does not permit traditional Mexican bands, which was a bit disappointing. We weren’t given a clear reason other than security concerns, but we chose not to dwell on it because everything else was perfect.

    For couples planning their wedding here, one thing to keep in mind is the timing between the ceremony and sunset. Since we opted not to do a first look and wanted to see each other for the first time at the altar, we had a limited window for photos before the sun set, which made cocktail hour feel a bit rushed. This wasn’t an issue with the venue or photography team—it was just a result of our timeline preferences.

    The staff at Martoca was beyond exceptional. They memorized our names, made sure our drinks were always full, and ensured we were well taken care of the entire night. If I could give one piece of advice to future couples, it would be to take a moment to soak in the beauty of it all because the night flies by.

    Our guests still can’t stop talking about how incredible our wedding was—many saying it was the best they’ve ever been to. Martoca truly gave us the traditional Mexican/Hispanic wedding we dreamed of, and we couldn’t be happier. 10/10—highly recommend!!

    Martoca Weddings's reply:

    Amiga Selina,

    Congratulations on such a lively and fun wedding! Thank you so much for your lovely words. We strive to give the best service to our Martocos. I will pass on the compliments to our service staff. And the DJ :)
    And yes, time does fly during weddings! I hope future Martocos take your great advice.
    Come by and have some margaritas some time :)
    Su amigo,
    Jimmy

    Amazing venue + team!

    We are so happy to have had our wedding at Martoca Beach Gardens. I had seen photos of one of my friends hosting their wedding at Martoca and it looked so dreamy. I reached out to Jimmy and he was very helpful and informative. We very much liked the idea of a small destination wedding, that was beach side, had a planner that knew the venue very well, that allowed us to incorporate some of the bells and whistles that would’ve cost us a fortune in California. We worked with our amazing planner Marisol, who was friendly and great about talking through the details needed at the right time. The day off, our guests had a great time, raved about the food, party and of course the saxophone performance (recommended by Marisol/Martoca). This review is long overdue as we had our wedding in May 2022, even with so much time that has passed, our guests still talk about how much fun they had. Wish we could throw a party like this annually, especially working with Jimmy, Marisol and the Martoca team!

    Martoca Weddings's reply:

    Wow thank you so much my dear Melissa :) It is such an honor and privilege to be able to touch people so much with our "job". I wish we all as people could be blessed as we are to have such a noble vocation and tradition that we so share.
    Thank you and come back anytime. Maybe we can't throw a big party each year but we can always have some Pacificos and chill by the pool and take some pics and remember your family's first major reunion!
    Gracias amigos Martocos.
    Love,
    Jimmy

    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.

    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.

    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

    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

    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 :)

    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!

    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!

    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

    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

    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

    The Perfect Wedding!

    I’m writing this review from a hammock in a hotel in PV coming off one of the best weeks of my life!

    I had never been to Mexico and stumbled upon Martoca beach garden in my search for a venue. It looked beautiful but who books a venue sight unseen!?? Well, we did! Jimmy was able to give me pricing based on what we wanted and sent us a contract. We did a tasting and visit months after booking and knew we maybe a great decision. The food, flowers, and drinks at our tasting were amazing and the grounds at martoca were beautiful. Fast forward a couple months and covid hit. We hoped our October wedding wouldn’t be effected but the timing was just not right with my older parents and everything going on in the world. We opted for April and Jimmy was so easy to work with to change the date. It took two emails to get it sorted out.

    Leading up to April, Mariana was so easy to work with. We planned everything in one phone call and several WhatsApp messages. I was feeling like this is too easy.... there must be something else I need to be doing. No, Mar takes care of 98% of the details.

    Our wedding day came and it was the most perfect day we could ask for. Mar and the other vendors took my ideas and knocked them out to the park. Every single guest told us this is the best wedding food they have ever had. The bartenders made delicious drinks and figured out our group loved shots and just left shots at the bar for people to take lol! The flowers were also incredible. Our flower circle at the ceremony was a surprise from the venue( it’s much bigger than I asked for) and it was so beautiful. Music wise, well most of the guys had their shirts off but song five so they clearly got into the dancing!

    Get.The.Fireworks!!! Our guests were shocked by the fireworks and kept saying they were better than Disneyland. The late night tacos were also a big hit.
    The staff were amazing. They will bring you your drink straight up to you on the dance floor. My mother In law has a gluten allergy but she ate the churros( because they were delicious) and got hives. Someone went out and brought her some Benadryl!!! Just the nicest people you can come across.

    I can’t say enough good things about the venue and the staff. Highly recommend Martoca and a wedding in Mexico in general. You won’t regret it.

    Martoca Weddings's reply:

    Muchas gracias Amigos Martocos! What a lovely and kind review. We had a wonderful time planning your wedding. Even thought he Rona came crashing your party the first time. haha. But we overcame. And your wedding was soooo pretty. I loved the look you chose for your florals.
    We are very grateful you stayed with us and adapted and made it easy for us to help you overcome the challenges. We are only as good as our Martocos ;)
    Love to you and yours! Come back for some Margaritas sometime :) Maybe with some Martoquitos :)-Jimmy

    Martoca Wedding


    Words cannot describe how amazing Martoca and team are. My husband and I decided on a destination wedding but we were not sure where. We ended up finding martoca through all their amazing reviews and pictures. We ended up not going down for a table setting and food tasting mostly because we had full confidence in them that everything would come out great.

    We had the pleasure of working with Veronica, she is AMAZING. She made us feel at ease with every step of the wedding process. We were so lucky to have worked with her, she is thoughtful and hard working, she thought of everything to the smallest detail. She surprised us with so many amazing gifts and details at the wedding that we cannot thank her enough.

    It’s been two weeks since the wedding. We had sooo many compliments from our guest and even the ones who couldn’t make it who saw through pictures and videos. Our guest has even mentioned it’s been “the best wedding they’ve been to so far”. It was an experience like no other and pictures and videos don’t do justice. When we arrived to Martoca and saw everything in place it made us feel so grateful for everything. Martoca and their team went above and beyond. We were so lucky to have found them, it was an amazing experience and we are forever grateful for them.

    Yasmin and Brandon

    Martoca Weddings's reply:

    Amigos Martocos!
    Thank you so much for such kind words :) Choosing a venue and wedding team blindly takes courage! And trust. Thank you for having both. We strive to over-deliver because we love to see the surprise in brides' eyes when they see the venue decorated with even more than had been promised :) and specially in this Covid year. We promised ourselves to truly reward our Martocos who moved forward with their weddings this year with even more surprises than usual. You deserve it! After all this crazy year threw at you, amigos, we needed some extra layers of TLC and love :). We were honored to serve you and welcome you as part of our Martoca family! Martocos Forever!- Jimmy

    Exceeded all expectations!

    You can read through every single review on here and you won’t be able to find one negative remark regarding the Martoca Beach Garden. It’s all true – Martoca is absolutely incredible. Our experience from the very first email sent to hugging goodbye at the end of our wedding night exceeded all of our expectations. Being an event planner for a living, I can tell you hands down that you will not find the level of customer service or amenities in the states. The second you walk through those copper doors your life will be changed!

    Martoca is for the Bride and Groom who wants to give their guests a different wedding experience. You won’t find the standard mass quantity chicken and veggie dish here, it’s 5-star quality catering with incredible presentation. Waiting in line for a drink at the bar doesn’t exist. Their servers were amazing and left no glass empty. Floral and décor - Martoca Team takes your Pinterest board and literally brings it to life. We ditched the wedding cake and had fresh made churros and Mexican style coffee and our guests loved it. Late night street tacos were an absolute hit. The level of detail that Martoca hits in truly amazing. Being a very “detailed” Bride, I was blown away at how they nailed every single detail planning across the country. The mariachi band came out and started playing at the end of the ceremony when were announced perfectly. We surprised our guests with fireworks during our first dance, and wanted the first firework to go off at a very specific timing/climax of the song – they made it happen down to the second and it will forever be our favorite, most special memory of the night.

    If you’re debating on whether or not to have a destination wedding, trust me, you and your guests will not regret it. You hear from so many Bride & Grooms how their wedding day was such a blur and they spent the whole time running around trying to talk to everyone. When you take a weekend event and turn it into a vacation you get to spend time with your guests before the big day. Matt and I got to soak in every single minute of our wedding day and night. Rather than running from table to table to say hi to everyone, we were at the bar getting a fresh made margarita. I don’t think everyone can say that on their wedding day.

    Bottom line, Martoca makes it happen!! Thank you Jimmy, Veronica and Team for making our absolute dream wedding come true.

    Martoca Weddings's reply:

    Thank you so much for such a thoughtful description of what we do amiga Courtney :) I am sorry I did not respond sooner. I must have not pressed send on the response or something weird happened. I may have responded another way and forgot to respond in Wedding Wire :)
    You are so right about the destination wedding invaluable advantage of the actual quality time you get to spend with guests prior to the wedding day itself! Great point.
    We loved to serve you as a fellow event planner that you are, we were a bit nervous. We are glad you approve! We passed the strictest test: A peer review from a big time Big city planner of the USA :)
    Thank you so much Martocos! -Jimmy

    Beautiful Boho Wedding

    My husband and I both have extremely demanding jobs. We are also from opposite sides of the country so we knew it'd be a destination wedding for at least half of our guests. When we first found Martoca we instantly knew that it just felt right. They made everything so easy and executed our vision perfectly. From our tasting and table trial to the day of our wedding, we had the most beautiful "easy" experience. Working with Veronica and having her coordinate all the vendors was absolute bliss. The vendors that they use are top notch. Our flowers were perfect, the furniture was gorgeous, and the DJ made the party. Last but absolutely not least Veronica was the one that pulled everything together. We didn't have too many conversations but every time we did, you could tell she knew what I would or wouldn't like. Veronica made me feel very comfortable and the trust was there. She's clearly very experienced in this field and knows how to read brides- Her recommendations were dead on. Our day wouldn't have been half the success (or fun) without her. I wish we could get married every year at Martoca- I know our guests wish so too! We had the following items- fireworks, burro, guitarist duo, cigar roller, late night tacos + churros (huge hit), sparkler send off and vintage car to drive away. One thing to note is we did not use their photographer, we flew a different vendor in from another part of Mexico.

    Martoca Weddings's reply:

    We loved serving you amigos! Our Martoca Team of planners is very special! We are proud of Vero, Mariana, Marisol, Maite, Deysy, Ricardo, our tacos and churros metros and more! You are so nice to mention all the services we can find and provide for our Martocos :) We thank you so much and please let us know when you come back so we can have your over for a couple beers :)-Jimmy

    Most remarkable wedding experience at Martoca!

    I don’t even know where to begin to review and tell you about the MOST INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE in our lives…but I’ll start at the beginning – (for those reading this, this is going to be long but thorough 😉). On a whim we ditched all original plans we had and decided to explore a destination wedding in Puerto Vallarta…a place we had never visited. Jimmy was responsive, thorough, funny, and above all…PASSIONATE. For two people who knew absolutely nothing about planning a wedding we appreciated Jimmy’s guidance, patience, and willingness to answer all 74 of my questions every time I replied to one of his emails. He helped make something very daunting and foreign to us, understandable and was a great guide. I am very decisive and told my (now) husband after the first couple emails with Jimmy that this was our venue. I knew it in my gut and I AM SO GRATEFUL I listened to my intuition. Which leads me to Mar our wedding planner. When we met Mar months after securing Martoca for our wedding I was immediately put at ease. After only a couple hours together at our table trial and food tasting she understood our energy as a couple, my aesthetic, and what was important to us to have on our special day. She was available throughout the entire process via we chat, was patient when I needed more time on something, and just MADE ME SMILE. Let me get to our ACTUAL WEDDING DAY. I am still overwhelmed thinking about how BEAUTIFUL our wedding was (our guests said it was the most beautiful wedding they’d been to). Mar COMPLETELY understood my vision, which is ironic because I didn’t even know what my vision was, I just knew what I did and didn’t like and she brought that all together. The florals, the golden hi-lights, the elegant simplicity which allowed the beauty of the venue to prevail (this was important to us), it was overwhelming how PERFECT IT WAS. I still smile today thinking about it. She is an absolute wedding genius, an artist. I would be remised if I didn’t mention how remarkable the food/beverage service was. It was beyond 5-star service (if that is possible). My guests were blown away that they were able to get down on the dance floor and have one of the servers bring them a fresh margarita without even asking or a round (or 5) of tequilla shots. The food was incredible and if you are reading this and planning a wedding I HIGHLY recommend doing a late-night taco stand. Eva was a beautiful photographer and was able to capture the beauty of the venue, our personalities, and the joy radiating from everyone that was there. All in all, I would recommend that EVERYONE gets married at Martoca. If you want a full concierge-style experience with experts in all areas (planning, food, service, florals, photography, DJ) supporting one of the most memorable days in your lifetime…CHOOSE MARTOCA. Jimmy, Mar, Eva and to everyone else that was a part of our day…THANK YOU! Martocos forever! Now…can we do it all over again? 😉

    Martoca Weddings's reply:

    Martocos: You made me cry. In these tough times --which will be behind us soon-- I appreciate this message of love and praise for our team and my family. Thank you so much :) I needed to read this to pick up our mood :) I see how much good we do and it makes me go on. Stay safe and healthy and come back once this craziness with the Corona Virus subsides. I thank you from the bottom of my heart :)--Jimmy

    5 stars all the way around -- JUST BOOK THIS VENUE!

    Seriously, if the others have not convinced you to book Martoca already, just do it! My husband and I took a trip to PV to venue hunt. We looked at some other venues, but Martoca took our breath away. THE PICTURES DO NOT DO THIS MAGICAL PLACE JUSTICE! Just add @MartocaBeachGarden on IG and you will get a better view of the venue with all of the videos they post. We did the food tasting/table set-up on that visit as well (so worth it)! The food exceeded our expectations, and you can literally design your dream wedding with Martoca, from the style/size of tables, chairs, dishes, cutlery, glassware, napkins, centerpieces, floral design, EVERYTHING. We even decided how the layout of venue would look that day! We were lucky to work with the Martoca team (shoutout to Vero for dealing with my millions of questions, texts, calls, stresses, etc.). They made this process so easy! A few days before the wedding, Veronica came to my resort and went over everything in person. She made us feel comfortable and taken care of. On the day of the wedding, everything went so smoothly! Our guests got to Martoca and were literally SHOOK! Veronica worked with Mayte (the florist) to create a beautiful memorial for our mother and grandmother. They did a great job at nailing my vision, which was to blend our two cultures together (Vietnamese and Mexican). Just like all the other reviewers said, people will tell you that was the best wedding they have ever been to and how amazing everything was (the service staff, the food, the venue, the music, TODOS!). Mind you, all the service staff were extremely professional (an important detail you should not overlook)! We even had a couple at our wedding that now want to do their vow renewals at Martoca! We really wish we could relive the wedding day all over again. It was just so perfect and beautiful because of Martoca and their A+ team. I cannot recommend this place enough. They have all these extras you can add to make your wedding extra special. And yes, you should do the fresh coconut stand, the late night churros, and tacos. And you DEFINITELY should do the fireworks (duh!). This place is the real deal. Stop looking elsewhere. Unless you want your basic cookie-cutter resort wedding, to each their own. I have zero regrets about choosing Martoca and would choose it again in a heartbeat. Martoca holds a very very special place in our hearts. We hope to come back again and do a vow renewal some day as well!

    Martoca Weddings's reply:

    Amiga Kim,
    Thank you so much for this marvelous description of what we love to do for you and all our Martocos. I even read your review to my mom and dad. They were very proud and delighted to hear how you described all our staff and the team of vendors and all the troops it takes to make a wedding come together as yours.
    About the pictures, yes we know. It is one of those things you just have to experience in person, haha.
    Thank you and please come by and have a beer sometime. We would love to catch up down the line... maybe meet your little Martoquitos :)
    Thank you so much for your extraordinarily kind words and recommendation for others. We will make you proud if they take your advice.-Jimmy

    "One of the Best Weddings We've Ever Been To..."

    "...if not the BEST!" ...says many of our guests. I first heard about Martoca Beach Garden through a friend's friend who was getting married there a few months after our conversation. I immediately contacted Jimmy, the venue owner, and he was super responsive from the get-go, which is an important factor in selecting a wedding venue. Super nice and personable guy, that Jimmy! Emails after emails led to my now husband and I signing the contract! We were assigned Veronica as our wedding planner and she is such a darling! Super sweet, easy to work with, and boy did she deliver!! Leading up to the big day... the weather forecast showed thunderstorms during our wedding. I was at edge now, but Veronica and Jimmy did everything they could to make sure our day was still magical. Long story short... we had the best day ever... most amazing wedding that our friends and family will also remember! Our wedding was absolutely magical: we rented a large clear tent last minute that ended up being decorated beyond my expectations and made the wedding even more beautiful; the Martoca team's hospitality and care was exceptional, beyond any other service I've ever experienced; and they had so many surprises for us. Maite, the florist, is SO good at what she does. She delivered my vision better than I envisioned! I read so many good reviews and somewhat thought it was too good to be true... they weren't lying. "Wedding of the decade!" "This is like an adult carnival!" "Such a magical wedding!" "I've been to many weddings... this is the best wedding ever!" I kid you not, you will hear the same comments from your friends and family. Stop your search right now and book Martoca Beach Garden!!! Thank you Veronica, Jimmy, and the rest of the Martoca family. I'm so honored to now be a Martoco!!

    P.S. It did NOT rain during our wedding... everything went perfectly... so blessed. I want to have our wedding vows renewed here...

    Martoca Weddings's reply:

    Mai,
    You are one of our favorite Martocos. You were so fun to work with on emails :) and chats. And the team truly enjoyed making you so happy. They feed off of good energy and vibes. So you sure gave them a lot of fodder. They wanted to hook you up! So we did. You deserved it.
    You are those kind of people who motivate others to be positive and to have fun. So it is contagious. The circle of trust was in full effect.
    Thank you and come back for beers and tacos by the pool sometime. This time we can actually get in :) --Jimmy

    Choose martoca!

    I don't even know where to start with this!!! Sorry, this will be a novel, but I just have so much to say and reviews are how I found Martoca so I want to make sure all you future Martocos know how freaking amazing this place is! Also just RELAX! They have you covered :)
    It has been 2 months since our wedding and I am still mind blown and want to relive every moment again and again. The venue is of course amazing and beautiful, but Jimmy, Mariana and the rest of the team was simply incredible. Hands down the best decision we made.

    Let me just first off explain how we ended up choosing Martoca because HOLY MOLY I am so so so so glad we did! We originally had planned on getting married in Sayulita, which is about 30 minutes North of Bucerias and Martoca Beach Garden. We had visited Sayulita and absolutely loved everything about the town and venue that we chose and were SO excited to be there for Dia de los Muertos! We had almost everything ready to go! Then in April of 2019 (our wedding was November 1st 2019) we were informed that there was a "Sayulita Sickness" that was going around that would affect a significant number of people, especially groups, when visiting on vacation. I kept hearing horror stories of wedding groups that half of the guests became ill, or that the bride and groom were ill on their wedding day and so we made the VERY hard decision to find another venue. (This was of course RIGHT after we sent out our wedding invitations, so we had to reach out to all guests telling them that the wedding was on hold) I was absolutely devastated. It was truly a nightmare and I really did not know what to do. We had hotel blocks in Sayulita and guests had already booked rooms and flights, so it was very unfortunate.
    HOWEVER-- with the help of friends and family we went on an online hunt for a new venue. Because so many guests had already purchased flights to Puerto Vallarta we decided to continue with a destination wedding in the area. Because we spent most of our budget already, we weren't able to take a trip and visit any other venues to see for ourselves. So, instead I was online 24/7 for the next few days and read so many amazing reviews about Martoca I had to look into it. I followed Martoca Beach Garden on Instagram and after scrolling through so many amazing photos I sent a direct message to see if they had availability on November 1. Jimmy (the owner) responded almost immediately and said they were! Since it was 5 months away I was shocked, but I told Jimmy my Sayulita situation, what I wanted, and my budget concerns and he put me at ease right away. It was so easy and he was SO quick to respond with all my questions, which was exactly what I needed at this point. It almost felt too good to be true with how easy the process was and with what they were able to provide.

    I then worked with Mariana and WOW she was simply amazing and SO EASY to work with! We used WhatsApp to communicate and I sent Pinterest pictures of what I wanted. She had me fill out some documents and that was it! I still thought everything was too good to be true because of how easy it was! BUT IT WASN'T! IT WAS AN ABSOLUTE DREAM and I cannot emphasize that enough. Mariana KILLED IT.

    The florals, the lighting, the DJ (who I didn't talk to even ONE TIME absolutely NAILED IT), the food, the service, EVERYTHING absolutely EVERYTHING was perfect. We had a pinata, mariachi band, fireworks, and late night tacos, the best churros ever and had a 6 hour dance party and so many more surprises! It was everything I wanted and everyone had the best time ever and said it was the best wedding they have ever been to. I am so happy we made the decision we did.

    I cannot express how happy I am that we found Martoca. Their team is amazing and if I could give it more stars I would. Choose Martoca!!

    Martoca Weddings's reply:

    Mi dear Danica (mom and dad as well) :) Thank you so much for such kind words and explains your Martoca journey to others. We were very happy to be able to help you create the wedding you dream of and could help you solve all your problems in away that not only felt like a save, we wanted to make it as if it was meant to be the whole time.
    So I am very happy you enjoyed your Martoca Wedding and your family as well. I remember how you guys did not stop dancing the whole wedding. I mean every single guest! What. GREAT group. We specially love to see such a close and fun wedding party.
    Thank you so much and we are so happy you gave Mexico a second chance! Hopefully those issues with Sayulita are resolved and no one needs to go through this again.
    Well, just the fun part. haha. -Hugs

    Martoca = Magic

    We just had our wedding here on June 2nd and as all of the other reviewers say, this place is absolutely amazing and something really special.

    We started to get really discouraged in our venue search after getting multiple quotes from hotels in the area. Everything felt very cookie cutter and like we were getting nickel and dimed for every tiny thing. Chair set up? $2. Chair break down? $2. Oh, you want a microphone for your ceremony? $150. Thank GOD we found Martoca because they are the complete opposite. Jimmy and his entire team are genuinely passionate about the brides and grooms they work with and go above and beyond to create a unique, magical experience for every couple.

    We signed the contract without seeing the venue and didn't take a trip down to do our tasting and trial until a few months later. By then I was having serious anxiety and thinking we were insane for booking something without meeting anyone or seeing the location. Our communication was mostly over email and I had only provided a few "inspiration pics" to our planners, Mar and Salvador. My anxiety was put to ease the moment we met them. Every bit of food we tasted was delicious. Every drink was refreshing and something I would gladly serve to our guests. Our centerpieces were more beautiful than what I had even sent. Mar and Salvador (and the entire Martoca crew) are true professionals.

    Nothing we saw at the trial could have prepared us for the actual wedding. There is something so special about stepping through the gold gates of Martoca. Our entire venue was decorated with flowers and lanterns and more beautiful details than I ever could have imagined. I've never seen a more magical setting in my life. It only got better from there. One line of our contract said something about the service from the waitstaff being "so good, your guests shouldn't have to get up to the bar to get a drink". I LOLed at the time, but they weren't kidding. The servers were better than what I've seen at a 4 star restaurant.

    I don't have a single complaint or thing I would do differently. The food and drinks were delicious, fireworks BLEW people away, cigar roller and mariachis were so fun and unique, and late night tacos and churros kept everyone fueled up for the dance floor :)

    Most importantly, Jimmy, Mar, and Salvador (and the rest of the Martoca crew) care so much about what they do. They treat you like family and welcome you with open arms into the Martoca family. My husband and I feel so lucky to have found them.

    Over the moon

    Martoca should be recognized by the state of Jalisco because they surpass and lead to example of how every venue/restaurant/business should be. When I came across Martoca Beach I was over the moon of all the pictures I have seen from previous weddings. I have been dreaming for many years on how I wanted my wedding to be and Martoca was the perfect venue that exceeded my vision. As soon as I discovered this venue Jimmy got us off to a great start answering all our questions, reserving our date, and finalizing our contract. We initially had 80 guests coming to our wedding and we ended up with a final count of 200 people attending, Jimmy was able to work with us and accommodate us down to the T.

    Jimmy blessed us with Veronica and we wouldn’t trade her for the world! I was so nervous to meet her at first but the way she carried herself was phenomenal, she is sweet, trustworsthy, funny, honest, and very hardworking. I was able to notice this all in one day! She picked us up from our hotel and took us to see the venue and then to see our table décor. I sent her numerous pictures behorehand of my vision and she told me I was in good hands. Maite is Martoca’s decorator and let me just say she is the khalessi of flowers and such a Guru~ every single detail exceeded my expectations! It almost felt like she knew me and the style I was looking for. I was stunned and much more excited to have all my guests take in all that Martoca has to offer...

    Finally the wedding day. I wasn’t nervous at all. At this very moment all you care about is you and your husband having a great time but as soon as I walked in EVERYTHING made me ball like a baby. My dream wedding became a reality. I was literally taking it all in and just amazed of the work and talent. Martoca without decor is beautiful enough+all extra things you want is beyond words——- The workers truly had white glove service. I swear I felt like Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, every turn I’d do they were always at your service. My guests were speechless. Fireworks. Fire dancers. Live Band. Churros. Tacos. Food. Drinks. What more can you ask for? I truly want to relive every moment all over again- Martoca gave me my telenovela/fairytale/movie scene wedding. My guests are already asking for an anniversary party haha! Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts.... and ladies do not hesitate and book this venue ASAP.

    -Happy Bride, Maryte Sandoval

    Amiga Maryte, reading that you are a happy bride is for me the most rewarding feeling I can have. We had a lot of challenges going form 80 to 200 guests, I'm not gonna lie, haha. But we made it all come together and we love a challenge. We are so happy for you and your guests. You are Martocos now. So come on don again sometime and this time, we will just chill and talk about how your Martoca Wedding went. I am sure you have some stories :) With 200 peeps with open bar for 8 hours I am sure some got Cray Cray! HAHA. I want details :)- We love our Martocos' stories after the weddings... What happens in Martoca stays in Martocos circle of Trust tho- 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.
