Far away from the party-loving towns in Cancun, there's a destination suitable for engaged couples who want to get married in sophistication and style. That location is Cabo, known local as Los Cabos.
Los Cabos is comprised of two main towns, Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo. A destination wedding in Los Cabos offers luxury and romance like nowhere else. It provides an upscale experience with its picture-perfect sunsets and beautiful scenery. Cabo's location on the Pacific Ocean allows couples to plan their destination wedding during any time of the year without worrying about hurricanes.
Do Plan Around Seasons
There is never a bad time on the calendar to marry in Cabo, but some times of year may bring slightly more heat, humidity or rain than others. November to April has the best weather conditions. The weather is neither too cold nor too hot, making it pleasant for everyone attending your wedding. It is usually slightly warmer from May to July. However, it is not too uncomfortable either. You may experience light showers from August to October. But they don’t last too long.
Do Decide on an Adult-Only or Family-Friendly Wedding
A destination wedding requires a lot of planning before arriving at your wedding venue. For example, you need to decide whether you want a family-friendly wedding or an adult-only wedding. This helps to decide the type of resort you have to book.
For example, Secrets Los Cabos, Marquis Los Cabos, Le Blanc Spa Resort, Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Golf & Spa Resort, and Breathless Cabo San Lucas Resort & Spa are some of the top-rated adult-only resorts in Cabo.
These resorts will only allow guests who are 18 years and older. The resort representatives cater to relaxation amenities and various types of adult activities. For example, these resorts have golf courses, serenity pools to relax, dedicated yoga rooms, and even clubs for drinking and dancing at night.
On the other hand, you also have various family-friendly resorts in Cabo, such as Villa La Estancia Beach Resort & Spa Los Cabos, Hotel Grand Fiesta Americana, Villa del Arco Beach Resort & Spa Cabo San Lucas, The Ridge at Playa Grande, and many more. They are ideal if you have guests with kids. These resorts have various options to keep the children entertained like teen zone, kids' club, water parks, and kids' pool.
Don’t Limit Yourself to the Beach
Cabo is such a beautiful place that you will be spoilt for choices while deciding between a beach and a garden ceremony. Beaches are more romantic as they offer spectacular scenic beauty. With the sun slowly setting in the sea and the sky turning orange, it's the best setting to say, "I do." However, beach weddings usually accommodate a smaller group of guests. You can go for Barceló Grand Faro Los Cabos, Cabo Del Sol Clubhouse, Cabo Surf Hotel & Spa, Club 96 Los Cabos, or Grand Solmar Land’s End Resort & Spa Cabo San Lucas for beach weddings.
Cabo doesn’t disappoint when it comes to garden weddings either. It has some of the most well-decorated resorts with picturesque gardens to make your wedding ceremony one to remember. For example, Flora Farms, Acre Baja, or Sunset MonaLisa are widely popular for their incredible locations. They have enough accommodation to fit your guest list.
Do Hire a Local, Bilingual Planner
This tip is a must-follow. When you plan a destination wedding in Cabo, there will be language barriers and plenty of vendors that aren’t even visible online. Planners can take care of almost everything you want for your wedding from booking the wedding venue and suppliers to full design decoration. But their primary job is to keep you relaxed, happy and laid back throughout the entire planning process. You will not have to plan anything from scratch once you hand over the responsibility to a wedding planner.
Don’t Overlook Live Music
There are plenty of talented DJs and bands available for weddings in Cabo if you have local connections. You can hire either of them, depending on the kind of experience you want to create at your wedding. It’s important to think this through.
Live music is definitely engaging and contagious. It’s hard not to want to dance when a live mariachi band is playing right in front of you! There is also an element of interactivity as guests connect with the individual performers. For a unique, fun and high energy experience, go with a live band.
DJs can make for an incredible reception party, especially when they play guests favorite songs. Unlike a band, a DJ is going to have a repertoire of tens of thousands of songs, allowing them to accommodate just about any wild request from your guests. If playing specific tunes is most important to you, then a DJ might be the way to go.
Do Make a Budget
Destination weddings are an investment and Cabo is no exception. Considered a luxury location, Los Cabos venues and resorts have what many couples would consider a fairly high price tag. For this reason, couples planning a destination wedding in Cabo should work out a budget very early on. It’s important to work closely with a wedding planner to make informed choices that reflect your values as a couple while honoring your budget in order to have a stress-free, debt-free destination wedding in Cabo.
Cabo is no doubt one of the most spectacular locations you can choose for your wedding abroad. Keep these Dos and Don’ts in mind and you’ll ensure it’s the kind of event you’ve been dreaming about.
