However, she found the perfect location in the Azulik City of the Arts, in the middle of the Mayan jungle.
On the big day, the Hallmark Channel star wore a Vera Wang gown with a low back that clung to her gorgeous body.
Her hair was tied back in a tight bun, with a light ivory tulle veil on the back of her head. The words: 'Mrs. T December 2, 2023' were embroidered onto the material for a unique touch.
Cole wore a white double-breasted suit jacket and tan pants. He also opted for a white shirt and brown leather shoes to complete his look.
Vanessa's bridesmaids all wore long, bronze-colored dresses, while the groomsmen wore a similar color scheme to Tucker's outfit.
The happy couple met for the first time during a Zoom meditation hosted by Jay Shetty, who also officiated the wedding.
After the ceremony, the bridal couple enjoyed a tasty dinner with the guests, followed by a reception.

For the festivities, Hudgens changed into a second Vera Wang ensemble, a strapless dress made from both lace and silk.
Reflecting on the day, the star offered one piece of advice: “don't do first looks because seeing each other for the first time at the altar is the most emotional moment of my life.”
“I literally fell over when I saw Cole and had to take a deep breath and force myself to keep walking because I could have fallen to the ground.”
The actress then said: 'It was truly the most magical weekend of my life.'
“I'm so grateful we got to have a private wedding, and it helped that I took everyone's phones away.”
