Wedding Packages at Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta (What They Typically Include)
Most all-inclusive destination weddings run through a set of package tiers that can be customized with upgrades for décor, florals, private events, and additional guests. At Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta, packages are designed to give couples flexibility across beachfront, rooftop, garden, and ballroom venue options.
Common inclusions (base tiers)
- On-site wedding coordination + planning support
- Symbolic ceremony setup (venue + seating + basic décor)
- Wedding cake + sparkling wine toast
- Bouquet + boutonniere (often included in entry packages)
- Private events can be added (cocktail hour, reception, rehearsal dinner)
Tip: At Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta, venue selection matters as much as décor—choose the location that naturally matches your vibe (beach-classic vs. rooftop-sunset vs. ballroom-glam) so you don't "buy the vibe" with upgrades.
Upgrades couples actually use
- Reception: DJ, dance floor, upgraded bar, late-night service
- Décor: statement arch/florals, aisle styling, lounge furniture
- Food: plated dinner vs. buffet, upgraded menu/wine packages
- Entertainment: specialty performers, mariachi bands, fire dancers
- Photography/video, hair & makeup, spa services
Planning shortcut: Build your day around light and comfort—sunset ceremonies work beautifully on the beach or rooftop Sky Bar, while the ballroom is the safest late-night reception option in hotter or rainier months.

Below are the core wedding venues at Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta, with capacity estimates and planning notes to help you pick the best fit for your ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception.

Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta Wedding Costs: What Actually Changes the Total Price
Destination wedding totals vary widely because they're driven by guest count, private event choices, and upgrades for food, bar, décor, and entertainment. Here are the biggest levers that impact cost the most at Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta:
The biggest cost drivers
- Guest count (more people usually means larger private events + more food/beverage)
- Reception style (plated vs. buffet, upgraded menus, specialty bars)
- Venue choice (beach/garden vs. rooftop vs. ballroom changes setup and AV needs)
- Décor + florals (arches, aisle styling, centerpieces, lighting)
- Entertainment (DJ, dance floor, mariachi, performers, late-night add-ons)
Smart "value" moves
- Spend on ceremony focal points (arch + aisle) and keep table décor simpler
- Pick one "hero moment" venue: Sky Bar for rooftop sunset or Beach Venue for classic beachfront vows
- Use natural venue features—garden greenery or oceanfront backdrops need less décor investment
- Choose a venue that already matches your vibe so you don't overpay on transformation costs
