Question

Where should I stay? How much does it cost?

Answer

We’ve reserved a block of rooms at Garza Blanca Puerto Vallarta from Sunday, November 9 through Thursday, November 13 (4 nights total). The special group rate at Garza Blanca Puerto Vallarta is $495/night ($1,980 total), which includes a suite and all-inclusive package for two (aka unlimited food, drinks, and fun 🌴🍹)! No need to stress about booking online - just let us know you’re in, and we’ll handle it with the hotel. Once confirmed, you can send your payment via Venmo (@SavannaHurst or @James-Piercw) or Zelle (savannamariehurst@gmail.com / 858-733-1631). After that, the hotel concierge will send you all the good stuff: your itinerary, check-in details, and any extra info to make your stay seamless.

Question

What’s included with the rooms?

Answer

All rooms are ocean front and come with all-inclusive amenities, including: Dining at 6 on-site restaurants (vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options available) Unlimited alcoholic & non-alcoholic drinks Room service & poolside service Activities such as snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding, hiking, tennis, and wine tasting Kids’ club with daily children’s activities (complimentary)

Question

Do I need a passport?

Answer

Yes! Since we’ll be in Mexico, you’ll need a valid passport to join the fiesta. Double-check that it’s up-to-date (and doesn’t expire within 6 months of travel), so you don’t get stuck at the airport while we’re sipping piña coladas without you. No passport = No tacos

Question

When is the wedding?

Answer

Our wedding will take place on Tuesday, November 11, 2025 in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Question

Where is the wedding?

Answer

The ceremony and reception will be held at a beach front restaurant called Daiquiri Dick’s. Shuttles: Transportation will be provided to and from the venue. Shuttles will depart from the resort between 4:45PM and 5:15PM so everyone can be seated before the ceremony begins at 6:00 PM. Return shuttles: Provided between 9:15PM and 11:15PM back to the resort.

Question

How do I get there?

Answer

Fly into: Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR) Getting to the resort: Ubers are safe, convenient, and inexpensive. We encourage guests arriving at the same time to coordinate and share rides. Let the Uber driver know that you are headed to Garza Blanca Resort. Return trip: On Thursday (check-out day), we’ll provide group shuttles back to the airport since everyone will be leaving around the same time. There will be shuttles leaving at 10:30am and 11:30am.

Question

What's the dress code?

Answer

For the wedding itself, we’d love to see you in cocktail attire - light, breezy, and festive (bonus points for tropical colors 🌺). For everything else (welcome events, pool lounging, late-night tacos), it’s casual, comfortable, and very “vacation mode.”

Question

What food and drinks will be served at the wedding?

Answer

We want everyone to feel taken care of! Dinner will include a variety of options — chicken, beef, fish, vegetarian, and vegan dishes — so there’s something for every palate and dietary preference. To celebrate, there will be an open bar throughout the evening as well as a champagne toast following the ceremony.

Question

What will the weather be like?

November in Puerto Vallarta is warm and tropical, with average highs around 80°F and pleasant evenings.

Question

What should I pack?

Answer

ESSENTIALS: - Swimsuits (plural - you’ll live in them 🏖️) - Sunglasses & reef-safe sunscreen (the good kind, not the sad travel-size one) - Light, breezy outfits for daytime - Light, breezy outfits for a nice dinner - Cocktail attire for the wedding - Sandals & comfy shoes for exploring (or late-night taco runs 🌮) - A hat for extra sun protection (or to look effortlessly chic) - Passport (don’t forget this one… seriously) - Small bills for tipping (USD or pesos) NICE-TO-HAVES - Beach bag/tote - Bug spray + aloe vera gel - Pesos for shopping outside the resort - Waterproof phone case or GoPro - Portable charger - Reusable water bottle (safe, filtered water provided at the resort) Basically, pack like you’re headed for a tropical vacation with a side of wedding magic ✨.

Question

What about my kids?

Answer

Bring em! Kids stay and eat free at the resort, and free childcare is provided.

Question

What if I can't make it?

Answer

We’ll miss you like crazy, but we totally understand. We know a trip like this is a big ask. We’ll celebrate with you back home (and probably show off way too many photos).
