Picking a Cabo Wedding Venue
When it comes to wedding planning, finding the perfect venue is the first step! Luckily, Cabo has some incredible wedding venues for every wedding style! As a Cabo wedding photographer, here are some of my top Cabo wedding recommendations for your big day! I know there are so many Los Cabos wedding venues to choose from, so take a peak through this s
Solaz Luxury Resort
Solaz Luxury Resort is a breath-taking Los Cabos resort that doubles as a wedding venue. If you want the royal treatment for your Los Cabos wedding, consider Solaz in Los Cabos! Imagine all the incredible photos of your day and the memories that will be captured here! Solaz’s event space can fit up to 500 guests, too, so you really don’t have to leave anyone off your guest list. Additionally, Solaz by Marriott offers wedding planning services. So, leave the planning to the professionals and enjoy your wedding!
Hyatt Ziva, Los Cabos
I may be biased with this one, but I cannot recommend Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos enough. A year ago, I actually went to Hyatt Ziva in Cancun for my own honeymoon. When I tell you how incredible every detail was, I truly mean it. Without a doubt, I know your wedding day at Hyatt Ziva would be truly amazing! From the amazing staff to the beautiful scenery and food, you can’t go wrong!
Cabo Del Sol Clubhouse
Cabo Del Sol Clubhouse brands themselves as the “ultimate destination resort”, and for good reason! There’s no denying Cabo Del Sol Clubhouse is absolutely stunning! Imagine starting your wedding day in their beautiful suites overlooking the ocean. How unreal!
Marquis Los Cabos Resort & Spa
Marquis Los Cabos has a truly unique ceremony space, featuring an arch overlooking the ocean. As a Cabo wedding photography, I can assure you these photos would be incredible! Additionally, Marquis has an onsite wedding expert for all your planning needs! Does it get any better?
Nobu Hotel Los Cabos
Another top contender and beauty of a Cabo wedding venue is Nobu Hotel in Los Cabos! The simple aesthetics of the rooms make my photographer heart squeal with joy! Can you imagine getting ready with your bridesmaids in these hotel rooms? Or how about your first look with the classic Los Cabos view? Talk about unreal!
Acre Baja Cabo
If you look up Cabo weddings on Pinterest, odds are, you might have seen pictures from Acre Baja Cabo! Why? Because Acre Baja does things different than your traditional resort. Every detail is intentionally curated and makes for incredible backgrounds, moments, and of course, wedding photos. As a wedding photographer, I would be in photographer heaven photographing a wedding at Acre Baja Cabo. So, if it’s any help, if I planned my wedding again, I would definitely choose this one!
Step 2: Finding your Cabo Wedding Vendors
Finding your dream wedding vendors is always critical, but especially when planning a destination wedding! Firstly, I recommend finding an amazing planner for your big day! Secondly, decide which vendors are a top priority for you and your fiance! Typically finding a wedding photographer and videographer fall in the top priority category. So, if you’re looking for a Cabo Wedding Photographer that is going to capture all your moments, consider Alecca Synclair Photography! I am an expert at destination weddings and telling a story. If you want someone by your side through not only the big day, but the whole planning process, I’m your girl! Additionally, I have a list of other amazing wedding vendors that will help you create and capture your dream day in the best way! I would love to help 🙂
Best Time of Year for your Los Cabos Wedding
Trying to find the best time of year to get married in Cabo? If you’re looking for warm (but not too hot) weather for your wedding day in Mexico, I always encourage October through June! In these months, the weather is beautiful, warm, and perfect for a beach wedding. While October – June is always best for a Cabo wedding, the rest of the year is still do-able too! It just might be a bit hot or rainy. But, if you choose the right Mexico wedding venue, there will be plenty of indoor options for your day if the weather doesn’t work out.
Cabo Airbnbs for your Wedding
- Villa Luna Nueva – Can you imagine getting ready with all your favorite people at this Airbnb? How about celebrating your wedding festivities the evening before your big day? This Airbnb is perfect for your whole wedding party!
- Cabo Airbnb – I cannot imagine a prettier pool + space for your Mexico Wedding!
- Cabo Villa – take a peak through this one, it’ll take your breath away!
- Los Cabos Stay with a View – what an incredible view of the Los Cabos sunset over the ocean!
