One of the options most recommended by our event planners is to hold your gathering at one of the outstanding resorts in Rocky Point. All of these venues provide spectacular views of the Sea of Cortez, and their imposing structures showcase the contrast, providing a frame for wonderful wedding photos. In addition, some of these resorts provide the option of holding your event outdoors in addition to ballrooms. A plus to choosing a resort is the comfort for your guests in having the event right where they’ll be staying. This way you can toast the night away without a care in the world.

Rocky Point is also home to prestigious internationally renowned golf courses, some of which have opened their amenities to ceremonies or receptions. The combination of the beach and lakes, greens and the desert, will surely make your event unique. Your guests will be fascinated!

This port also offers several event options across the city. One of these, which is known for its spaciousness and variety of decor options is the Convention Center.

Among the most popular spots, which has launched Rocky Point both nationally and internationally in the realm of romance, is of course the beach!

If you’d like to hold your wedding on the beach, yet from the comfort of a private sea side home, Las Conchas is the ideal pick!

Its spectacular structure and temple, filled with antique decoration, will make you fall in love all over again.
