Real Weddings: Marquis Los Cabos
March 3, 2010
The location: Marquis Hotel, Los Cabos
# of guests: 112
Why a destination wedding? Lindsay and Fisher chose a destination wedding because they loved the idea of it. “It’s so special to only be able to invite a select number of people and have them fly out of the country to see you exchange your vows.” Lindsay believes destination weddings are fun for everyone because guests get to make a vacation out of it, while the bride and groom are able to spend extra time with their friends and family.
Why Cabo? The couple chose Cabo because they had great memories from the numerous vacations they had spent there. Also, Cabo was only a short flight away for almost everyone attending, since most of their guests were from Texas and California. “There’s also something out of the ordinary getting married at sunset, overlooking the ocean.”
Accommodations: All the guests were staying at Marquis Hotel. This made festivities and organization much easier.
The concept: Lindsay was clear, “Everything must be white!” The ceremony flowers, reception centerpieces and ballroom décor were all the work of Elena Damy, contemporary florist designer.
The vendors: The pair chose local vendors recommended by Sarai. However, their photographer, Glen Johnson, flew in from Texas to capture the event.
The ceremony: The couple exchanged vows at sunset on the hotel’s most beautiful terrace, under an arch of suspended roses.
The rehearsal dinner: Closest friends and family enjoyed a magnificent night at Edith’s Restaurant. Food and décor were Mexican, and margaritas flowed freely the whole night.
The challenge: Lindsay and her mother found that relying on e-mail was the biggest challenge, since it made it envisioning the final results difficult. They were only able to travel to Cabo once prior to the wedding to review details and do the tasting.
The reward: “The best part of the wedding was seeing the final result! Every single detail about our wedding was everything and more than we could have ever expected or wanted. The communication with the hotel and on Sarai’s part was exceptional. If we ever did it over, we wouldn’t change one thing.”
Enjoy!
