Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (May 7, 2026) – Velas Resorts announces a new proposal experience built around the night sky. The offering connects a couple’s personal story with the movements of the cosmos, staged on a secluded rooftop or beach enclave at one of the star-studded Velas Resort properties along Mexico’s Pacific or Caribbean coastlines. Each location is selected for its minimal light pollution, unobstructed sky access, and capacity for complete guest privacy.
At the center of the celestial experience is a multi-course tasting menu designed around the couple’s astrological signs — an approach that treats personal identity as an ingredient essential to the plate. Starter and main courses are tailored to each sign’s elemental grouping. For example, Earth signs receive root-based and smoked preparations, emphasizing texture and depth, and Water signs are presented with deep-sea ingredients and fluid, layered compositions that reflect the movement and mystery of their element. The menu concludes with the Nebula Finale — a dessert course built on molecular gastronomy techniques. Edible gold dust, dark chocolate spheres, and precisely deployed dry ice combine to recreate a nebula on the plate: a visual statement as much as a culinary one, and an intentional metaphor for the evening ahead.
Following dinner, a professional astronomer joins the couple for a private session designed around the evening’s specific celestial conditions. The session is not a generic sky tour. It is scripted around the couple’s story. For The Deep Space Proposal, the astronomer guides the partner to a high-powered telescope focused on a specific planet or constellation, positioning the moment of discovery to coincide precisely with the proposal itself. The night sky becomes the backdrop; the telescope becomes the reveal.

In commemoration, all couples receive The Star Alignment Map as a take-home amenity — a bespoke, high-quality archival print depicting the exact configuration of stars over the Velas property at the precise moment of their answer. The map is produced following the event and delivered to the couple before departure.
The offering is available year-round, but Velas Weddings curates a selection of Limited-Edition Nights throughout 2026 — ten dates aligned with the year’s most significant astronomical events, from meteor showers to solstices to a rare six-planet alignment in August. “The intent is to give couples a reason to choose not just a destination, but a moment,” said Gina Jimenez, Corporate Wedding Director of Velas Resorts. “For couples planning a proposal, meteor shower evenings offer a natural crescendo: a sky in motion, unpredictable and unrepeatable, as the backdrop for a question asked once. For those marking an anniversary or renewing vows, the solstices and equinoxes carry their own symbolic weight — the longest night, the point of perfect balance — occasions that mirror the kind of commitment being celebrated. And for couples who simply want the evening to feel chosen rather than convenient, the astronomical calendar provides exactly that: a date with meaning already built in.”
Velas Weddings’ astronomically guided proposal experience starts at $6,506 USD per couple. Pricing varies by property, date, and seasonal availability. As the experience is designed and produced entirely around each couple, reservations are required a minimum of one to two months prior to the chosen date. Velas Weddings encourages early inquiry for any preferred date in the 2026 calendar. For more information or to begin planning, please visit https://www.velasresorts.com/.
