Velas Resorts Press Room

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (May 23, 2024) -  Velas Resorts is now offering a celestial wedding experience that transcends the ordinary. As couples seek unique and meaningful ways to celebrate their love, this themed nuptial offers magical options ranging from astrological inspired drinks, a starlight blanket overhead, and guided stargazing, to hand painted dance floors of the constellations and a (Michelin) Star Dinner Under the Stars. Couples can even purchase their own star to commemorate the special day.

Highlights from the celestial spectacle include the following: 

• Starry Skies Decorations: The celebration kicks off with luminous decorations that appear to be millions of twinkling stars, creating the illusion of being enveloped by a magical night sky.
• Liquid Constellations: Adding to the vibrant atmosphere, guests will enjoy "astrological signature drinks" based on the couple's zodiac signs and the "Golden Shimmer Mimosa", a captivating twist on the classic mimosa that elevates the senses to new heights. Infused with a vibrant citrus essence and delicately accented with edible gold, this concoction offers a harmonious balance of flavors.
• MICHELIN-Starred Chef Crafts Personalized Wedding Menu: With a two MICHELIN-starred chef Sidney Schutte orchestrating the culinary experience, each course becomes a moment to savor and enjoy.
• Guided Expert Astronomy: Guests have the opportunity to witness firsthand the breathtaking beauty of stars through powerful telescopes with expert astronomers who will unravel the secrets of distant galaxies and celestial phenomena. 
• Dance Among the Stars: The celebrations continue with a custom dance floor adorned with a projection of the constellations that graced the sky on the day the couple met.
• Become Starry-Eyed Proprietors: Couples will commemorate their special day by "buying a star." Velas Resorts will facilitate the official registration process, allowing guests to claim their own unique celestial landmark and receive a certificate marking this momentous occasion.
