Wedding and Groom's Relatives..?

I am in a very confusing situation. We are planning a wedding in Guadalajra Mexico in about year and a half from now.

We live in the US, i've never been to Mexico so it would be my frist time.

He is was born in Guadalajara thats why we decided to have the wedding there, the problem is, Guadalajara isnt a resort so they dont have wedding packages like Cancun or any other resort does.There are no decent hotels down there as well. I have no idea how i am going to plan a wedding without being down there and seeing everythng with my own eyes. Even if a hotel holds a party, the only thing they provide is food, but i also need church, cake, flowers, band etc..

I do believe that buying and costumizing a wedding package would be much much easier! they prepare the food, cake, music, EVERYTHING>

He only wants a wedding in Gudalajara so his all family could attend it. His immidiate family (mom step dad, brother sister) are well off, but they dont care about the wedding, they never asked me if i need any help, or anything like that.
his other part of the family are not so well off, and he is saying that if we wont have the wedding in Guadalajara they wont be able to attend. Ive never met them, they never invited us to any celebration. He even said we will have to rent a bus and ROOMS for all of them if we decide to have wedding in Porte Vallarta (which i want).

How can i tell him that it is MY WEDDING and not some charity event. I want it to be PERFECT!! i dont want to sound heartless, but i could care less if his other family wouldnt show up.

I know with my side of a family, half of the wedding will pay off with money presents, he said that i shouldnt expect any gifts from his family, and that half of them might show up in jeans.

How can i tell himt that want to have a stress free perfect wedding in Porte Vallarta without hurting his feelings??!!
