We are thrilled to kick off the weekend of funtivities with a Welcome Party on a sunset boat cruise! This three-hour event will feature an open bar and light snacks. We'll be sailing aboard a 100 x 40 ft mega catamaran equipped with all the amenities for a luxurious sailing experience. The boat boasts a large open deck for large parties and sit-down table settings, where you can relax on the comfy couches, chairs, and loungers, enjoying both sun and shade options. For your comfort, the boat is equipped with four bathrooms. Additionally, a masseuse will be onboard offering complimentary massages throughout the cruise. Join us for the ultimate way to kick off the weekend! Fun Fact: It's whale watching season this time of year, so keep your eyes peeled for some fun marine life! Shuttles: The cruise will depart from Paradise Village Public Pier inside of Paradise Village Beach Resort and Spa, about 15 minutes from the Riu Palace Pacifico. We will be providing roundtrip shuttles from the Riu to the marina and back. Shuttles will pick up at the Riu at 3:30 PM, boat will depart from the dock at 4:00 PM. Dress Code: Since it's a sunset cruise, opt for sundresses, shorts, polos, and a light jacket in case of a breeze. No need to take your shoes off on the boat! *Please be sure to let us know when you RSVP if you can join us for this cruise.

Venue: Martoca Beach Garden is a picturesque beachfront venue in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico, renowned for its stunning ocean views and lush tropical gardens. Dress Code For Ladies: Embrace flowy cocktail dresses or stylish jumpsuits in light, breezy fabrics. Feel free to accessorize with floral or beach-inspired touches for that extra flair! Dress Code For Gentlemen: Opt for linen suits or dress shirts/polos paired with smart trousers. Feel comfortable to skip the tie and jacket for a relaxed vibe, and choose loafers or stylish closed-toe shoes. Quick Tip: Since we'll be on grass, let's keep our footwear smart and grass-friendly! Shuttles: Get ready to hop on the fun bus! We've got a complimentary shuttle service from the Riu Palace Pacifico to the wedding venue. Meet us in the hotel lobby at 4:20 PM sharp for a ride, shuttles depart at 4:30 PM. And don't worry about getting back, we'll have buses ready to roll back to the hotel at 9:45 PM for the early birds and 11:00 PM for the night owls! After Party: Not ready for the night to end? Join us as we continue the festivities at the discotheque next door at the Riu Jalisco.

Feel free to join us at the pool for some well-deserved relaxation and perhaps a little hair of the dog. It's entirely optional, just our chosen spot to unwind for the day.
