We had such a great wedding. We got married there on March 7th. We reached out to Jimmy- the owner, back in August 2024 and we booked the venue within a couple weeks. It was so great! We worked with Mar as the wedding planner and she really worked hard to make our vision and dreams a reality. It's an inclusive packaged deal- so you can choose what you want. But they worked with my budget and it was great. My guests can't stop raving about the wedding still. It was the most perfect and epic night of our lives. Everything was so meticulously planned out - the food, the dj, the decor, the sax player, the furniture, the photographers, the ceremony- it was all so beautiful. We reccomend this venue without hesitation! read more

Martoca Beach Garden is THE wedding venue. I have heard horror stories of trying to plan a destination wedding; however, this was the easiest experience I have ever had. Having a full service venue with the best wedding planner, photographers, florists, servers, bartenders, fireworks -- honestly Martoca has the best of everything. As a bride, not having to look through every vendor and navigating contracts and figuring out taxes and gratuity was so helpful when planning a wedding in a different country. The thing I appreciated the most was how quick and easy the communication was with Jimmy and Mariana. They also understood and respected our budget without trying to do any up-selling and even helped us take some of the more expensive budget items off and had other similar options within our price range that they suggested. You truly feel like family and not like a number to them, which was one of my favorite parts of wedding planning. And when there that one day event in Puerto Vallarta, Jimmy was very upfront and honest about everything and I never felt like he was hiding anything. That being said, I and my guests walked around Puerto Vallarta (I got married in March) and felt so safe. If any guests have concerns, they should look at the live cameras and see how the boardwalk and life was immediately back to normal. One of the best parts, besides the most amazing wedding day, was the tasting day. My husband and I signed a contract sight unseen, so when it came to tour the venue and do the tasting we were very excited. I was not expecting the food to be as amazing as it was. One of the top responses from our guests was how fresh and amazing the food was. And I completely changed my vision and the whole staff got out the different tables I was envisioning during the tasting and wedding planning day without complaint. I didn't have to change a single thing in terms of florals and the hardest part was figuring out what tasty cocktails to serve at cocktail hour because all were so good and same with the food. Also, the al pastor tacos and churros are a MUST for the late night snacks. The day of the wedding was so easy and I didn't have to stress about a single thing because Mariana and her whole team had timelines for me, my husband and our wedding party and family. I always knew where I needed to be and what time every little thing was. The staff also never let any guest have an empty drink, which for a wedding of about 80, was so impressive. They were even bringing rounds of shots out onto the dance floor and drinks, so the party never had to stop. I do recommend the fireworks and the donkey! The fireworks are sooo impressive and your guests will love taking photos with the worlds cutest burro. The Martoca Film team needs their own special shout out. I came with 0 inspiration photos and said just do whatever they wanted and they delivered! Every photo and video we received, you can just see the artistry behind the camera. And they were so much fun and easy to be around. I truly loved the whole team and they are BEYOND talented. I could write a book on how amazing our wedding was and how easy the whole process was. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any other questions. If you are thinking about going with any one besides Martoca, you are doing yourself a disservice. I may be biased, but this was the best wedding I have ever been to. And we had guests tell us that they wish they knew about this venue when they got married because it was the most magical day for them as well -- which says a lot. I love being a part of the Martoca Family and any time I'm in Puerto Vallarta I will be making it a priority to say hey to the whole crew! read more

A+++! Martoca Beach Garden created the most perfect, magical, and spectacular wedding celebration for my son and new daughter! The constant communication, planning, attention to detail, service, décor, florals, food, and music were all absolutely exceptional and truly over-the-top! From the ceremony rehearsal to guest transportation to the seamless flow of the entire day and night, everything was first-rate! I highly recommend Martoca Beach Garden for your Mexican destination wedding! Mexico - specifically Puerto Vallarta + Bucerías - is safe, friendly, and incredibly welcoming. You can't beat the weather, the vibe, and the genuine kindness of all the people there! Our guests had the best time, and our bride and groom have an experience they will remember as the best weekend of their life! read more

Our wedding in Mexico was truly a dream come true, and we're so grateful to this incredible team--Mar, Fatima, Giovanni, Paola, and Luis--for making it all happen so seamlessly. I do want to briefly speak to safety, since I know it can be a concern. We were aware of the broader issues and didn't want to ignore them, but our actual experience was completely positive. The wedding took place in a safe, well-established tourist area, and both we and our guests felt comfortable the entire time. Destination weddings like this are thoughtfully planned in secure locations, and it really showed. From start to finish, the planning process was so easy and stress-free. The team was responsive, organized, and genuinely cared about bringing our vision to life. On the day itself, everything was beyond beautiful--our guests couldn't stop talking about the stunning setting and how amazing the food was. It was everything I could have ever wanted and more--the perfect, fun, and unforgettable way to start our marriage. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. read more

I truly don't even know where to start! I got engaged in November 2022 and we knew we wanted to do a Mexico destination wedding. At the start of 2023, I started doing my research and stumbled upon Martoca on instagram. Jimmy can tell you, but I followed them right away and reached out shortly after to get a quote. Their instagram presence really made this an easy choice for me (living in San Diego and not able to view the venue before booking), because I was able to see every wedding they've done and what they are capable of. When I reached out to Jimmy to get a quote, I was greeted with such kindness and absolutely NO pressure behind the quote that I already knew this would be our venue...but it was the first one I had reached out to and wanted to make sure I didn't just pick the first one. I told my husband when I first found their instagram & got the quote that I thought this was our absolute DREAM venue. My husband and I are fairly private people, so we knew we didn't want to share our special day with other people staying at a hotel or passing by the beach during the ceremony; we knew we wanted a private, all-inclusive wedding venue. When we were ready to book, being deeply Type A, I asked Jimmy at least 20+ questions throughout our emails before actually paying the deposit. Again, I received so much understanding, kindness, and flexibility that it put me at ease to pay the deposit. From there, Mariana was my planner and reached out to me fairly early from when I officially booked Martoca to when we got married. I booked the venue in March or April of 2023 and my wedding took place on 11/14/2024; so I was in communication with either Jimmy or Mar for almost 2 years from when I first reached out. Mar was truly a dream to work with. It was so easy; she sends outlines of what she needs from you, so you're not sitting around guessing what it is you need to get done. We shared our budget & inspo pictures and basically told Mar what we wanted and to stay within budget. Periodically we had to make decisions on things that would put us over our budget, but all in all, it was an incredibly smooth and easy process. I have nothing but good things to say about the entire Martoca team! Our venue tour & food tasting (Nov 2023) was one of our favorite memories during this whole process. Most people who have been to weddings know that the dinner is usually subpar - most large dinners are, but not at Martoca. Everyone was raving about how amazing the food was (including the al pastor tacos & churros - this was such a hit!!) & everything came out HOT. Everyone, including my husband and I were, so impressed with everything. If you still have doubts about booking; we had ~75 guests at our wedding and every single person told us it was the best wedding they've ever been to! The venue itself is such a dream, the photos attached don't even give you the full picture. I had the wedding of my dreams in every way and for an affordable price! I truly cannot get over what we paid and what that got us here. I truly, whole heartedly, cannot recommend this venue enough!! My wedding was so much more than I could've ever dreamed of. My inspo pictures came alive in the most incredible way & I can't thank Mar & the Martoca team enough! read more

Marisol, Jimmy, and the whole team at Martoca Beach Garden gave my wife & I 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 :) read more

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!! read more

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 & Brandon read more

Our wedding last month was everything we hoped it would be and we couldn't recommend Martoca enough if you're looking for a beautiful setting, kind and talented team to work with, and a blank canvas to create whatever type of wedding you're looking for. Marisol was our planner and she was so lovely to work with and created such a beautiful ceremony and reception for us. We loved that we could take more of a step back and provide our inspiration and priorities, and Marisol took care of all the details so we wouldn't have to. Their vendors are all pre-selected, so they have long-standing relationships with local suppliers, and eliminates the need to do vendor selection for each trade. All of them were great, but we especially loved the DJ and the service during the reception. Our guests have been raving about the wedding overall and we honestly just hope someone we know decides to get married there so we can go back. read more

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. read more

I don't think my review or pictures will be able to do Martoca justice but I will definitely try.. I got married at Martoca exactly a week ago and everything was absolutely PERFECT. I cannot recommend this venue enough. I started following Martoca on Instagram about 2 years ago and after going through their page and seeing the beautiful weddings they put together I was convinced this is where I had to get married! From the start Jimmy was super responsive and willing to work with us and our budget. Mariana was our planner and she was absolutely PHENOMENAL. I'm in my 3rd year of law school and all my friends told me I was crazy for trying to plan and carry out a wedding while In school but Mariana took absolutely ALL stress out of wedding planning for me. I simply shared some Pinterest ideas with her of what I wanted it to look like and she took care of every single little detail. Anything I thought Of I'd just message her and within minutes she'd respond assuring me it'd be taken care of. I didn't get the opportunity to visit Martoca prior to the wedding but simply based on what I saw on social media and the the way in which Mariana had every single detail under control I knew we wouldn't be disappointed. Now fast forward to wedding day, the day was BEYOND BEAUTIFUL and Mariana ensured every step of the wedding ran flawlessly at all times. I never had to worry about a single thing other than enjoying the day. Our friends and family were in absolute awe of how perfect everything was!! we had a small wedding due to Covid but practically everyone that attended said it was the best wedding they'd ever been to (Even My 3 sisters who are my biggest critics! lol). Here we are.. a week later.. I'm still in awe over last Sunday and obsessing over all the pictures and videos friends and family have sent me. I can't wait to see the professional photos which I'm sure will be AMAZING as our photographer Eva Sica was also so great!! THANK YOU Jimmy, Mariana, and all the Martoca staff. You guys are true professionals and wonderful at what you do. I seriously can't thank you enough for putting together my dream wedding. read more

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. read more

It's hard to know where to start in a review about Martoca, I actually get a little teary eyed just thinking about how amazing it is, there should be an extra special gold star option especially reserved for places like Martoca. First and foremost, if you are thinking about having a wedding in Mexico and are considering anywhere besides Martoca, just stop right now. You will literally not find anywhere else like it, potentially anywhere. To say it's a bride's dream is a complete understatement and does not do Martoca, the staff, the owners or the location justice. Their wedding planning staff (Veronica, my wedding planning was beyond amazing) and unbelievably talented florist alone justify what you spend, and that doesn't even touch how gorgeous the venue is, the incredible food, the open bar or the kick ass DJ. And it's so much more. When you get married at Martoca, you truly become part of their family and I have first hand experience in that, beyond what most brides probably do as my father ended up in the hospital the day after the wedding. Veronica, Our wedding planner with Martoca helped us find a doctor and Jimmy, the owner, picked us up from our hotel to move to a condo close to the hospital. They both came to visit the hospital during his 5 day stay and checked in regularly. I am actually not sure what we would have done without them. And that was so far above and beyond the wedding, which was better than any of my dreams or imagination. There is so much to say but I will try to keep it to the highlights: BOOKING & PRE-PLANNING I first came upon Martoca on bestdestinationweddings.com and was amazed thought it looked beautiful, not to mention the reviews were top notch. On the day we got engaged, we sent an email through the details on the website not expecting to hear back as it was a Sunday early afternoon. Not only did Jimmy, the owner, write us back that day, he responded to our questions that evening. We were booked with in 2 days and never looked back. We were lucky to get a date 4.5 months down the road, we had no intention of a long engagement and Martoca happen to have the perfect day available (which was really lucky) but this did not give us time to visit the venue or do a tasting. Luckily, our wedding planner with Martoca, Veronica, was incredible and put me at ease immediately, I truly never worried about anything. Veronica was on top of everything and made every effort in the planning process to be 2 steps ahead of me, a feat that is tough as I have been an event planner for over 10 years. She took extra care in every detail and sent me photos of the entire process from building the table settings to the floral arrangements. She came up with brilliant extra ideas that fit within my budget yet took the wedding to a whole new level like a live trio for our cocktail party. REHEARSAL I asked Veronica if she could help me plan the rehearsal because our hotel had not been helpful. She did for an incredibly reasonable prices and went above and beyond. She listened to my crazy requests, drove to Sayulita, another town, to check them out and ultimately found a place that was not on my list. She set everything up for a 4 course meal that was to die for and knocked the socks off my Mother In Law's feet. It was amazing, WEDDING DAY -On the wedding day, Veronica actually came to my hotel to see me, my bridal party and my family off to the venue and then stayed to ensure ALL the guest got on the bus to get over, followed by my soon to be husband and his groomsmen. This took an unbelievable amount of stress of me and allowed me to just be in the moment as we made the final touches to get ready and photos -When I showed up to the venue, there are not words to describe how perfect it was. Veronica and the Martoca team had taken my vision and made it 100 times better. But, it was really the personally touches that made the difference. The best example of this: The week of the wedding, we went early so we could surf a few days. Knowing this, Veronica had the table assignment signs and table numbers made in the shape of surfboards and in the colors of the wedding palette. This was complete surprise to me and nearly brought me to tears when we arrived. -Everything through the whole day went incredibly flawlessly, it was a big blur for me but it was amazing. Everyone in my family and friends was blown away and I heard more times than I can count that it was the most incredible wedding they had ever been to. And it was all for a fraction of what I could have done that wedding for in the US. In fact, I don't think I could do that wedding in the US or anywhere else. read more

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!!! read more

It's hard to put into words how grateful I am for Mariana, Jimmy, and the whole Martoca team and how truly AMAZING they made our wedding day and experience. I am a terrible planner and knew I'd never be able to juggle everything wedding planning entails and, on top of that, Covid happened, and my mom got sick. Jimmy and Mariana were so incredibly patient with me as we postponed the wedding and I pretended none of the bad things were happening (and avoided any planning or decision making). I can't describe the relief I felt every time I apologized for not being present and avoiding everything only to hear "don't worry I've got it - everything is going to be great!" from Mariana and Jimmy. And let me tell you... everything was BEYOND great. I booked Martoca without ever even visiting before the wedding day and I was blown away when I finally got to see it. I basically told Mariana I wanted neutral colors with a pop of blue and she took care of the rest. The table settings, sweethearts table, ceremony, everything was out of this world. The DJ was amazing and the photographer/videographer, Fotografo Vallarta, were incredible. The service was the best service I have ever had anywhere - I never even got to finish a drink before I had a new one in my hand. The food was also amazing - everyone was raving about the surf and turf and late-night tacos and churros. Even my husband who is extremely picky was blown away by how amazing everything was, and our guests kept saying it was one of the best weddings they have been to. I could go on and on about how amazing this day was and how grateful I am to the entire Martoca team, but for now, I will be planning on how I can get back there and urging everyone I know to BOOK WITH MARTOCA! read more

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 read more

I absolutely loved photographing a wedding at Martoca Beach Gardens! The staff was so helpful, they accommodated us well, and overall the experience is one of my favorites!! My favorite things they had at the venue was the "midnight food" with the churros and tacos, and I loved that they had a mariachi band. I can't wait to come back again!! read more

I can't even begin to describe how amazing our wedding was! We knew we wanted a destination wedding but were nervous planning our big day in a place we had never been. I am so glad we took that leap of faith and had our wedding here! From the planning to the execution, it was more than we could have ever hoped for! Our guests are still talking about our wedding 2 years later and they all say it was the best wedding they have ever been to. I wish I could relive it over and over! I loved that we were able to customize everything from the decorations to the food and the music. No cookie cutter options here. If you can dream it, they can create it! Thank you to Jimmy, Veronica, and the entire Martoca team for making our day one we will never forget! read more

Similar to what other reviews have said, it really is hard to put into words how incredible our experience with Martoca was. We found Martoca relatively early in the wedding planning process and after reaching out for more information, talking to Jimmy on the phone, and seeing all of the amazing photos and videos we instantly knew it was the place for us. They made us feel so welcome from start to finish and everything was perfect. Truly the perfect wedding venue and you won't find a better group of people to work with than Jimmy, Mariana (our wedding planner), and the rest of the Martoca team. Our group had so much fun and even a month later everyone can't stop talking about how it was the best wedding they've ever been to. It will be the wedding of your dreams and exceed any expectation you could ever have. I want to start the review off by giving an example of the outstanding service that they provide because I think we had a pretty unique day. We had our wedding on December 4th and that time of year there's an extremely small chance of rain and if it does rain it usually isn't for long. It just so happened that we were that small chance and it rained almost the entire evening. However, Mariana and the Martoca staff worked twice as hard to make sure that our wedding went as smooth as possible. Mariana showed that she is a true professional at what she does and made the right call every step of the way in order to make sure we got to do our cocktail hour, ceremony, first dance, etc. as uninterrupted and enjoyable as possible. The Martoca staff also worked so hard throughout the day from moving tables under the tent in the rain, hand drying everything, and constantly serving our guests while getting wet, and more (I attached a photo of them so you can see just how hard they were working for us!!!). We are really grateful for all of their efforts. While no one was expecting the rain, they showed that no matter the circumstances they will step up and make your wedding day the best that it can be and we all had an absolute blast and consider it even more memorable because of it. Overall, the wedding planning process was seamless. I could go on forever about how non-stressful and easy it was because of Mariana but I'll keep it short. My wife worked with Mariana from the start and she was very attentive and responsive and quickly picked up on our wedding vision. She pays attention to detail and even surprised us with a gift and a table card wall - she will go the extra mile to make your wedding perfect. The food was absolutely incredible too. By far the best food I've ever had at a wedding and it was like dining at a 5 star restaurant. Everything was so good from our appetizers to dinner and dessert to our late night tacos & churros. It's the type of food that is so good that people won't be able to stop talking about it. We can't thank everyone at Martoca enough for making our wedding day so special. It was absolutely perfect and we'll reminisce on it forever. Some other notes... I feel it is important to touch on the COVID-19 aspect of our trip since I'm sure that is making some people hesitant from traveling or doing a destination wedding. I felt safe the entire time I was in Mexico. The taxis, hotel staff, and Martoca team were all wearing masks and following appropriate protocols. Everything we did was outside and we didn't have anyone in our group get sick from the week we were in Mexico and it is probably worse where we are from than in Mexico. Photographer: Eva Sica of Ave Sol (https://www.avesol.mx/) - she is a very talented photographer and braved the rain to make sure we got great photos still. Would 100% recommend. Videographer: Ventana Stories (https://www.ventanastories.com/) - we've only received a preview of our video but it already looks amazing and you can tell they do great work. Similar to Eva, their team worked so hard in the rain to make sure we got some awesome video content. Hotel: Villa del Palmar Flamingo (https://flamingos.villadelpalmar.com/?partner=6513&utm_source=GMBlisting&utm_medium=organic) - was a good place to stay and affordable for all of our guests. We all enjoyed the stay and it was an easy bus ride to and from Martoca. THANK YOU MARTOCA!!! Love, Jake & Michelle read more

Our wedding day was unbelievably beautiful. Every detail was perfectly executed and exceeded our expectations. Our family and friends loved everything, especially the sunset, decor, flower wall, fireworks, jazz band, tacos and churros. The night was perfect and we firmly believe we could not have chosen a better location for our wedding. Thank you Veronica and Jimmy for making our day absolutely perfect. Martoca Beach Garden is the best wedding venue with the best staff. They will exceed your expectations for excellent service and amazing attention to detail. read more

Martoca Weddings in Puerto Vallarta is a must if you are looking to get married in Mexico!! Jimmy and his staff was a dream come true for my daughters wedding. The Venue itself is more than you can expect and words cannot explain the beauty of Martoca !! I have been in the restaurant business in the United States for over 45 years and I can tell you the food and it's plate presentation was impeccable, the service was outstanding and most importantly the staff treated everyone of our 160 guests as family! The Cocktails, the Fireworks , the late night Taco Bar, Churro Bar and Cigar Bar was a big hit with our guests. I want to personally thank Jimmy, Marisol and her entire team in making this the wedding of the century!! Ray read more

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) read more

This review is overdue but to be honest I just haven't been able to put into words how magical our experience was with this venue. We got married here in January 2020 and were referred to the venue through a friend who had attended a wedding here the year prior. We are from San Diego and had this vision of an intimate, secluded, elegant party on the beach for our wedding. It is extremely hard to find that type of setting with pure privacy in our area. We took a chance after a few phone calls with Jimmy, and booked site unseen and fingers crossed. Mariana was our planner and let me say, we were not easy people to plan for. I was pretty slow to give her my ideas but she patiently and politely requested all the information she needed to create this vision that was in my head. The whole process was so easy because all the vendors are booked through your planner (unless you chose otherwise) so all we had to do was make decisions on the details and show up. We didn't see the venue until the day before we got married there. I was so nervous, and as soon as I walked through the gates and felt the magic energy off this place I burst into tears. All my nerves went away and I knew it was the perfect place to get married. The wedding itself was a dream. Every single detail and vision I had told Mariana came to life in the most perfect way. It was like she knew me and my taste even though we had never met. Her personality of being calm and in control kept me so relaxed and I was able to just enjoy the moments of the evening. Every detail of the night was perfect. The staff was beyond attentive to the point guests still bring up to me now how excellent the service was. The food, fireworks, DJ, taco stand (they even made potatoe tacos for me being a vegetarian), flowers, and basically EVERYTHING was perfect. I can't count how many guests told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Thank you Martoca for giving us the best day we could have imagined and for any couple debating on choosing a venue, you will not be disappointed with this fairytale place! read more

Words cannot express how amazing our experience was at Martoca. I got married a week ago and I am now finally able to unpack how magical my wedding day was. I contacted Jimmy before I even got engaged (I'm proactive lol) and right away his response was so encouraging so right then and there I knew I had found my wedding venue. I went to visit a month after my engagement and got to meet Mar ( my new favorite person everr) and some of the team. The venue is like you see on social media, I call it a hidden gem. The team helped me plan the entire wedding from the hotel to the restaurant where we had our welcome dinner down to transportation. Throughout the entire process Marina and Marisol were always just a phone call away to guide me and help me give my family and friends an experience of a lifetime. We have recieved so many compliments from our friends and family members and I would like to share just a few with you. " If we want to top your wedding we will have to get married in space or something" -My sisters Raina and Saralyne " I have never seen anything like this and I will remember this day until the day I die"- My husband's uncle who was reluctant about traveling during the pandemic. " Your wedding needs to be a Netflix special" - My husband's cousin " This is the best wedding I have ever attended" - Members from our bridal party. " Mariana did a fantastic job"- My mother who is hardly ever satisfied. Jimmy, Mar, Marisol, and the rest of the team , Thank you for the best day of my life thus far, I had so much fun and I will keep these memories forever. Mr.& Mrs.Tulice. read more

No review I give here will ever do Martoca justice. My husband Cooper and I took our first trip together to Puerto Vallarta about 2 years ago. After we got engaged, we knew that we wanted to get married in the place we first fell in love. After doing a bunch of research for wedding venues in the PV area, we came across Martoca Beach Garden. From the very first email to Martoca, we knew that it was going to be a great choice. Jimmy was so helpful and responsive, and went out of his way to answer all questions we had. A few months later, we traveled back to PV to see Martoca in person and were BLOWN AWAY. Not just because the venue is gorgeous (which it is), but because of the helpfulness of the Martoca crew. Salvador picked us up from the airport and brought us right to Martoca. From there, he brought us to see the table layouts and do our first tasting. Everything was amazing- better than we had ever hoped. Then after our tasting, he drove us an hour out of his way back to PV to our hotel. WHAT AMAZING HOSPITALITY! Leading up to our wedding, I had a million questions, and Jimmy was so helpful and responsive to everything. We had several calls with Veronica leading up to the wedding, to make sure that we were all on the same page with everything. She took the time to answer all our questions, and ask any that she had too to make sure that our big day was absolutely perfect. I cannot say enough good things about Martoca, the team, and our wedding. If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't change a thing. We love Martoca!! read more

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. read more

We just got married a little over 6 months ago at Martoca and it was absolutely perfect! Jimmy and especially Veronica made the whole wedding planning process soooo easy... almost too easy! Everything from the servers, dj, food and setting was absolutely AMAZING. You truly feel like you are part of the family. Veronica is the most perfect angel on earth and honestly just having her as part of the package is enough reason to book Martoca. We had a 118 person wedding 3 days after hurricane Willa hit and NOTHING was affected, it was the best most beautiful place imaginable. Our guests could not stop talking about how much fun and "epic" it was. Maite and her flowers were unbelievable, the food was incredible, the FIREWORKS, the tacos, the churros, EVERYTHING about Martoca is absolutely AMAZING. Veronica was so helpful and made our dreams come true. It was truly the best day ever and the Martoca team is to thank. read more

All I can say is you guys gave us the best day of our life. Everything was absolutely perfect and I would not change one single moment. From the very beginning Jimmy you were so informative, fun, kind and generous. Meeting you with my parents was so special and your love for what you do and for your people is so evident and so special. We were so blown away with the visit and the tasting with Vero, Elias, Jimmy and the staff. The tasting was the most special culinary experience of any of our lives and we will never forget it. Elias was so unbelievable and meeting you all was so fun. Vero- throughout the entire process was unbelievable. She was ALWAYS available and was the sweetest most caring wedding planner I could have ever dreamed of. Your attention to detail and your kindness towards me was unforgettable and I am just so thankful I had you through the process Vero, thank you. All of the vendors were awesome. I loved MaryCarmen and her people. All of my bridesmaids looked so beautiful and I loved my hair and makeup. They were professional and timely. Eva and Jose were so fun day of too. They both made us feel comfortable and were just kind people. I was hugging Eva by the end because of how fun she made everything. I love the little preview she sent us and I cannot wait to see more! She is truly talented. Everything was so picture perfect the day of. Walking into the venue is a memory I will never forget. You guys went above and beyond and we could not be more grateful. From the flower mirror, to the wall where people got their table, to our little plack (that I cried when I saw) to just the lights and candles and dance floor and the pool and just EVERYTHING! It was the most beautiful venue I have truly ever seen in my life. The ceremony and the music was perfect and everyone could hear us. The speeches were heard perfectly. My dad's microphone went dead and it took like .5 seconds to get a new one. Truly unbelievable. Every single person welcomed us with a genuine smile and we could just feel their energy. Every single person was so kind and helpful. The food was just as good as we tasted if not better. Elias was SO sweet and fun. He even got our favorite tequila which is hard to get in Mexico... another incredible surprise. One of my older guests had a foot cramp and asked for orange juice and they said they didn't have any and she said no problem. He went back and made her fresh squeezed orange juice... he hand squeezed it for her. JUST UNREAL. Another guest asked for a coffee and he said the coffee maker was put away- she said no problem. Before she knows it- there is an espresso shot at her table. We ran out of beer (sorry we are big drinkers haha) and someone ran to the store to get more. I AM NOT KIDDING WHEN I SAY YOU HAVE THE NICEST PEOPLE WE HAVE EVER MET WORKING AT MARTOCA. These are just a couple stories we have heard so hard and I can't wait to hear more. The DJ was absolutely awesome. Every single song was amazing. I didn't get a chance to thank him so please thank him for me. The dances and the fireworks?! Are you kidding me?! Honestly I thought it was gonna be just a boom boom but it was like the fourth of July. I have never been happier in my life at that very moment. They were absolutely breathtaking. The cigar rollers... unbelievable. They were so sweet and the cigars had a D and A on them?! Are you kidding?! Everyone was absolutely blown away. The tacos and the churros.. I don't know how many people came up to me and said it was the best they ever had. The sparklers were also just mind blowing- my pyro dad was in heaven ;) haha We also had an unbelievable time on the yacht with Kaleidoscope so thank you so much for that recommendation. They were amazing. All in all everything was more than perfect and we are so grateful. I know I'll send this and have a million more things that come to mind (I'll probably be emailing you for a year haha ). You guys are some of the best people we have ever met. You always and forever have friends in San Francisco. We love you so very much! Best, Danielle and Alex Worrell and family read more

WOW, wow, WOW! You will not be disappointed. Not only is Mexico beautiful- but Martoca is the icing on the cake. Veronica and Jimmy went above and beyond to make our special day (April 11, 2019) absolutely amazing and made sure that ever guest was treated as family. Prices were much more affordable than California and since we had les guests, we were able to really treat everyone to an experience- not just a normal wedding! The food was delicious, flowers were breathtaking (thank you Maite), and Veronica made sure everything stayed on track so we didn't miss one single moment. Recommended by Veronica- we stayed at Dreams Villamagna and had a great experience. We can not wait to come back and visit! We are forever grateful for our experience at Martoca Beach Garden and are SO happy we booked! Our wedding wouldn't have been as memorable anywhere else. read more

My husband and I got married at Martoca in February of 2018 and we could not have asked for a better experience! From working with Jimmy to create the contract, to planning details with Kelley, to the actual day itself - everything was perfect. We had a destination wedding and had never visited, but they were able to take my emails, pictures and Pinterest board and turn them into reality. They definitely know what they are doing! Kelley's patience, understanding and creativity were especially appreciated - I can't speak highly enough of her! From the get-go, I told them that my only goals were to have great food, great music and great drinks and they went above and beyond that. The wait staff, bartenders and catering manager were incredible (my guests are still talking about how wonderful the service was!). The Mariachi band was great. The food was amazing (especially the late night churros and tacos!). The DJ was spot on. The lighting and decor was AMAZING. I could go on and on! Honestly everything was absolutely unbelievable and I would choose Martoca again in a heartbeat. Thank you to Martoca and all of your vendors for literally making our dreams come true! read more

I don't even know where to begin.... My husband and I found Martoca online last June and I knew that there was nowhere else we wanted to be married. We come to Puerto Vallarta twice a year and saw too many resort weddings that were not private or not always special to the bride & groom. Since our guests were coming such a long way to celebrate with us we wanted to make sure we showed them a fantastic time. We were nervous because we were not able to visit right away but after reading the reviews and talking to Jimmy we felt completely comfortable. Between the time we got engaged in June and our site visit in October we had tragedy strike our family several times but everyone at Martoca was so understanding of our plans constantly changing and just kept telling us it was going to be alright. We made the trip in October and we were able to meet our AMAZING planner Veronica. She was incredible! I work quite a bit and knew there was no way I had time to plan a wedding and she took care of EVERYTHING for us. On the day we met her we also met with the designer and caterer and literally had everything done in one day. Veronica also took the time to drive us to hotels to consider for our guests. From October until our wedding in April we had several other things go wrong in our lives but Veronica was always there to tell me it was going to be alright and that everyone at Martoca was pulling for us. She was not only a fabulous planner she was a great friend. The wedding was BEYOND our wildest dreams. From the beautiful location to the gorgeous flowers, the incredible service, the delicious food and the special details like fireworks, cigar rollers and taco and churro carts our guests were blown away. Almost every single one told us it was the best wedding they have ever been to. I had to give all of the credit to Veronica and the amazing team at Martoca. Thank you so much for all of the effort and love you poured in to our wedding. It was the best night of our lives! read more

I have been procrastinating writing a review for Martoca for almost 6 months now...mostly because I didn't think I'd be able to put everything into words. So bear with me as I try to articulate just how wonderful my Martoca experience was. Jimmy and the Martoca team (Salvador and Marianna) helped make the wedding of my dreams come true. My husband and I had been planning to have a destination wedding for a long time - however, I was hesitant as I had seen some resort weddings before, heard horror stories about the planning process, and also had a very specific vision of my day in mind. Luckily, my husband heard about Martoca through a client of his...and after googling pictures and reading reviews, I was hooked. We actually had the pleasure of meeting Salvador, seeing Martoca, and choosing our menu and table settings a year before our wedding - I was sold as soon as we stepped foot on the grounds. My initial contact with Jimmy was wonderful and helped me to know that we were making the right decision, and the great communication continued throughout the entire wedding process. All correspondence and communication with Jimmy and the team was impressive...fast responses, answers to any questions, and clear and honest communication. Jimmy clearly has a lot of experience in the planning process, and had a quote for me with everything I had hoped to include (and more) for a price that I thought was reasonable. A wedding at home with everything would have probably been at least triple the price...and half the experience. Our actual wedding was amazing. All of our friends and family still talk about it, raving about everything - the food (and drinks), the vendors, the décor, the location, the staff. The team executed everything flawlessly, making the wedding-planning process stress free and fun. Every detail is taken care of - your transportation, hair and makeup, music, decorations, photography, etc. We were so happy with being able to choose our vendors for this and were so impressed with our selections (Ave Sol Photography, Paloma Garcia Salon, InLoop Videography). They all came highly recommended by the Martoca team and did a fabulous job delivering on the day of. The actual venue was beautiful and fabulously decorated. Florals were amazing and copious, with beautiful draping, candles, lighting, and tableware. The DJ played all the requested songs for our ceremony flawlessly, and had the dance floor packed all night. Our mariachi band, fireworks, churros, and tacos were a huge surprise for our guests and a huge hit. Many guests even said they felt like they were in a wedding from a movie. All the food was DELICIOUS and beautifully presented. The service was wonderful and so professional. The drinks were stiff (especially after having resort drinks all week) and delicious with lots of selection at the bar. (Our rowdy group of guys did drink the bar out of beer before the end of the night...but that probably wasn't the worst thing that could happen). I swear my wine glass kept magically refilling without me noticing it! Marianna and Salvador were excellent to work with, and made sure everything was executed flawlessly. They both would check in with us several times throughout the day to make sure everything was going well, and to let us know what to expect - which was greatly appreciated. I could see them both working hard behind the scenes...thank you both for all you do! As with any event, there were a few small things that did not go according to plan. However, the team dealt with these all in stride, and they did not affect the quality of our day at all - details that no one noticed or were fixed so quickly that no one knew the difference. I did speak with Jimmy about a few of these minor issues after the wedding, and was so impressed with his response. Nothing affected the quality of our day or my memories or impression of Martoca...just small hiccups that happen in any kind of event. I think the way the team dealt with these actually made me more impressed with Martoca. We are both thrilled to be part of the Martoca family, and are so happy with our decision to have our wedding at Martoca. Thank you again to Jimmy and the team for all your hard work in making wedding dreams reality. If you are thinking of choosing Martoca as your wedding destination...you will not be disappointed! read more

I could not have asked for anything more. I honestly wish I could relive this experience all over again. The location is a beautiful paradise. The food was amazing, not your typical wedding cuisine more like a 5 star restaurant. We also had tacos at midnight and are by far the best tacos I've ever had. Our waiters and bartenders were so attentive, I loved them! The dj was really good and my guests said nothing but good things. The dancing never stopped so that says a lot. Our table settings were so beautiful I wish I could've taken them home. I was honestly never worried about Sal delivering on what we had discussed based on photos we'd seen and based on the food tasting. I was stress free from the planning aspect and more worried about our guests arriving late and even then Sal was there to reassure me that everything would be ok and those types of things just happen. People would ask me all the time, how much more things I had to get done and most were surprised that I said everything was pretty much done with the planning and there was still many months till the wedding. Sal suggested the dance floor have this lighting which we were unsure about but I'm so happy we did it. It looked amazing in photos and at night. The fireworks were a dream. Sal and Mariana were wonderful to work with. read more

We got married in January 2019 and we could not have been more happy with how everything turned out. The wedding coordinator associated with Martoca is spectacular. She really makes magic happen. She is very detail-oriented, communicative, and professional. The venue itself is breathtaking, plus the location in Mexico has great weather and excellent views. During the wedding, everything was planned perfectly and Martoca ensured that all transitions flowed smoothly. The staff went above and beyond and were attentive, ensuring our guests were well taken care of, whether it be more drinks, meal sensitivities, or getting guests cabs to return to their hotels. I could not have asked for a better venue and better assistance to make this dream of ours come to fruition. I highly recommend Martoca for a personalized wedding experience and everlasting memories! read more

When I searched wedding venues in or near Puerto Vallarta, I found it insane that Martoca only had 5 star reviews..how is that even possible?!? UNTIL I showed up on my wedding day...and then I got it. There are really no words for the beautiful people of Martoca and all they did for us. It was above and beyond. And Marisol is an angel sent from heaven. She worked with me through every detail and gave us such a beautiful day! It was more than we could have ever dreamed. Our friends and families were in awe by how beautiful it all looked. And then there was the DJ, Ulises who did a phenomenal job...despite it being the hottest day ever (maybe aim for a month besides June ), we danced all night. And then there are the servers and bartenders. I think all of my friends were double fisting all night. They were beyond attentive to everything we needed (or didn't even know we needed). And the food was of course delicious! I was stuffed and my friends are still taking about it. The extra touches--cool towels during dancing, ice cold water bottles, the taco guy, the light up dance floor, the cute decor, the unbeatable service, fans on the seats for our guests during the ceremony--all of it made it the best day. You won't regret having your wedding there. Not at all! Thank you Marisol and the whole team for such a beautiful wedding read more

We just hosted our wedding at Martoca on 3.2.2019. Martoca Beach Garden is the most magical place for a perfect wedding. I cannot put into words just how incredible of an experience I had from start to finish with Martoca, but here is my best attempt.. From the very beginning, Jimmy the owner was quick to respond to me and very accommodating in selecting the perfect package for our budget. He took time to carefully answer any questions I had, and I felt very comfortable with him. He's just a good guy, very trustworthy and doesn't nickel and dime you or throw in surprise costs. Once we decided to move forward with Martoca, we were given Veronica as our wedding planner. Veronica is simply AMAZING in every way possible. Throughout the entire planning process, she was responsive, understanding, sweet, accommodating, reliable, organized- everything you would want in a wedding planner. She was fantastic in making sure my vision for our wedding was executed to perfection. Anything I needed, she took care of it. This woman truly cares, she truly loves her work, and it shows. The day of the wedding, I was in absolute shock of how beautiful the venue was. I felt like I stepped into a fairy tale, no exaggeration. Every little detail was thoughtful. The décor, the ceremony, the service, the food, the DJ, the energy- everything was PERFECT. And this is not just a bride's opinion, every single one of our guests said it was the best wedding they've ever been to, that it was so beautiful and special, unlike any other experience at a wedding. Veronica - we love you! It brings me to tears to think about how amazing you made our day. You were the ringleader for this outstanding wedding! You and the entire staff provided the best service I've ever experienced! No guest was ever without a drink in hand or shot of tequila, and everyone had a blast. Words cannot express how grateful we are. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU SO MUCH! read more

DREAM WEDDING VENUE, DREAM WEDDING STAFF, DREAM LOCATION!!!! We got married at Martoca in May 2019 and we could not have been happier hands down!!! From the very beginning when we had our first few conversations with Jimmy (the owner's son, amazing guy!), he made us feel so at ease with everything, he was extremely accommodating and patient with all of our questions and requests and did everything he could to get us our dream wedding within our budget. Our entire planning process was excellent, easy and seamless thanks to our AMAZING wedding planner, Veronica! Veronica is an angel, she is so sweet, SO patient, so hardworking, flexible, accommodating, dedicated and truly passionate about what she does. The Martoca family went above and beyond all of our wildest expectations and honestly we were in complete awe on the day of our wedding, as were ALL of our guests. Every single guest told us it was the best wedding they'd ever been to/the best night of their lives. The Martoca family even went so far as to throw in a few extra surprises for us on the house, it was truly appreciated from the bottom of our hearts and made our day that much more special. Honestly, do not waste your time looking at other venues. To have a venue that also plans your entire wedding for you and on top of that, does a FANTASTIC job at it, is really rare. Not to mention, the people at Martoca are unbelievable. We've made some great relationships with them and hope to remain friends for a lifetime. We will definitely hit up Jimmy and Veronica to share some margaritas next time we are in PV! My dream wedding is over and all I can do now is just keep replaying the absolutely PERFECT night over in my head. Thank you SO MUCH Martoca family, from the bottom of our hearts!!!! Emon and I love you all so much! Muchas gracias. read more

We recently got married at Martoca and it was a dream come true! They executed my vision flawlessly and made everything more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! Wedding planning was made so much easier by making most big decisions upon signing the contract, when you can select what you want in your wedding (including decorations, flowers, DJ, band, fireworks, other entertainment, etc.) After that, we pretty much planned the entire wedding over text and calls with Veronica. My husband and I have very busy schedules and this was a huge convenience! Over our last month of planning, Veronica became one of my dearest friends. She went above and beyond on numerous occasions, and was so detail-oriented, patient, and enthusiastic. So many of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to! The service, décor, music, flowers, food, entertainment were impeccable! We would like to sincerely thank Jimmy, Veronica, Maite, and the rest of the amazing Martoca team for giving us our dream wedding! We will be forever grateful, and highly recommend this venue to others! read more

My husband and I got married at Martoca on December 22, 2018 and it was absolute magic. We knew we wanted a destination wedding and found Martoca on Google. After reading the reviews, I knew I wanted our wedding to be here. We booked our date over a year ahead of time and mostly dealt with Jimmy, the owner/operator for the contractual agreement and costs. For the actual wedding planning and details, my contact was Veronica. There are a few different wedding planners and mine so happened to be her. I don't have the words to describe how wonderful, helpful, competent and brilliant Veronica is. I am in grad school and work full-time so planning a wedding was daunting for me, as my time for extra tasks is limited. I was not a fussy bride. I knew the "look" that I wanted and conveyed that to Veronica and her team in person and via phone and email. We had 52 guests and I wanted an elegant, but not too ridiculous, wedding. I sent Veronica Pinterest pictures of what I liked and she made it happen. If I can offer a bride any advice when working with a Martoca team, it would be to NOT try and be in control of every aspect and detail. Let them work. They are brilliant. I was very hands off in my planning. I trusted Veronica and her team and I was awestruck at the result. Our wedding was and will always be the most amazing wedding all of our guests have ever attended. Details that I never considered i.e. people spilling their drinks on the dance floor...they had someone dedicated to toweling up liquid so no one slipped...they think of everything. If I can offer a few more pieces of advice: go with the fireworks. Everyone will cry and it's pure magic. Opt for the tacos and churros at the end of the night. People still have not stopped talking about it. Also go with the crystal light-up dance floor. Well worth it. Veronica was not just a wedding planner, she provided me with advice and emotional support when she could tell I was stressed or struggling. She is always surveying the party to make sure everyone is having fun and there is never a dull moment. If you let these people do what they love, they will give you the most amazing memories. I feel forever indebted to them. They also provided me with the most amazing photographer, Jorge Romero. He is not always available, but I was lucky. read more
