Are You thinking of eloping and want something colorful, fun and different?
Do you love the idea of a quaint beach village with a Mexican theme and a lot of charm?
Visualize long stretches of white sandy beaches, great surfing, homemade tacos and frosty tequila against a backdrop of the lush jungle or the majestic Sierra Madre mountains.
If you love these dreamy images, sunny Sayulita is the place for your elopement. Actually, the whole Mexican Pacific Coast, known as Nayarit, is a beach lover’s paradise, but the quaint village of Sayulita is a genuine jewel, more laid back and accessible than it’s upscale neighbor Punta Mita.
The weather is always mild, with a tropical climate that hovers around 75 degrees Fahrenheit most days. Easy to imagine when you consider that it’s on the same latitude as Hawaii. Even during the rainy season between June and November the afternoons are sunny.

Some ideas for Your Sayulita elopement
For your Sayulita Elopement and Honeymoon, you can rent a Villa or even stay at a Hotel. You can exchange your vows on the terrace of a beautiful villa overlooking the Pacific Ocean. You can even rent a yacht and get married as you sail into the sunset.
Having a civil wedding in Mexico is fairly easy which can be organized by the venue. Sometimes, the staff at the Villa can even help you find an officiant should you prefer a civil or religious ceremony. Or another idea is to keep your elopement super simple and have a civil ceremony back home, then a symbolic ceremony in Mexico.
The sunsets are unbelievable, so why not have your ceremony on the beach? You can have tiki torches and flowers — the works.
