Always thrilled to share a beautiful wedding! The great pictures were taken by the warm hearted and talented Alec & T. a joy to work with!

Here some other details about a fabulous wedding weekend celebration:

Number of guests: 50

Rehearsal dinner: Lovely evening, elegant long table, candlelight and tons of speeches at the best restaurant in San Jose del Cabo, Manuel’s.  Our group was personally welcomed and served by the Chef Manuel and his wife Virny. As always, they make you feel at home and give you a royal service.

Wedding Ceremony: We chose the Tres Palmas lawn at the One and Only Palmilla. This was the perfect combination of privacy,  beautiful ocean view and  comfort; not having to go on the sand…

Wedding Reception: After an excellent dinner by Chef Larbi Dahrouch, everyone danced at the Bahia Ballroom.

The great team who made this wedding possible: Oxten, they were in charge of the draping and their work is impeccable. Flowers arrangements were designed by Pina, that Chuppa is pure romance! DJ Adan made everyone dance. Last but not least, the Groups and Special events department at One and Only Palmilla, gracias!

Enjoy!

I like the simplicity and fresh look of this wedding. For Courtney & Jeff, it was clear from the very begging, they wanted to have fun and be relaxed during their wedding. They decided to stay 2 weeks for their destination wedding in Cabo and they enjoyed every minute of it. A bref recap of the festivities:

Rehearsal Dinner: Heavy appetizers, pizzas and beers at the Baja brewery in Cabo San Lucas

Ceremony: Casual setting on the beach

Reception: 12 Tribes Restaurant

Entertainment: Fire Dancers & DJ Adan

2 nights ago, we were invited to experience the new restaurant Flavor. I am very excited to have such a nice place in down town Cabo. The food is not only great and tasty but the combination of flavors and style are really unique. The location couldn’t be better: besides Pink kitty, few steps from Mandala Club and Squit Roe.

Where: Cabo San Lucas.

Size: sits 70 guests with existing furniture, up to 100 with different setting.

What for: A perfect choice for a welcome party or rehearsal dinner.

Style: Trendy, stylish, modern.

Food: Combination of styles, great tapas, fresh salads & ceviches, exquisite pastas.

Enjoy!

Last weekend, there was a very intimate and special wedding that took place. Jill & Michael decided to exchange vows at their family vacation house located in the beautiful and exclusive El Dorado golf and beach club. Only their closest friends were part of the celebration. We hired a local string trio, a great photographer, Francisco Estrada and our favorite minister, Marco Arechiga to complete this very meaningful gathering which ended with a beautiful ceremony! At the bride’s request, the ceremony was held in the morning so they could all spend the day celebrating by the pool. But it didn’t end there. In the evening, a catered dinner was organized for even more fun and celebration!

We are re-organizing our web site and blog, obviously we don’t want to loose these great reviews and feedback we got from our former clients, enjoy!

The location: O&O Palmilla, Los Cabos

# of guests: 100

Why a destination wedding? Jenny & Brant chose a destination wedding because they wanted their wedding to be small, intimate, special, beautiful, relaxed, and FUN! And Cabo was the perfect place for that!

Why Cabo? The couple chose Cabo because the travel is easy, and it has so many beautiful locations. “The atmosphere is casual and relaxed, but still classy and cool, which is exactly what we wanted.” Besides, they think people in Cabo are very friendly and they feel welcome and safe every time they come.

Accommodations: We arranged 2 “room blocks” for guests to have different options, one at O&O Palmilla and the other at Sheraton Hacienda del Mar.

The concept: Beautiful, elegant and modern are the words that best describe the ambiance. White flowers were selected for the ceremony and light pink peonies and green hydrangeas embellished the reception.

The vendors: Elena Damy was in charge of the floral design. A mariachi band was hired to perform during the ceremony, and the leading voice was the singer Sarah Fuselier, a friend of the family. The Kilometro Band livened up the party and kept guests dancing all night. Photographers Sam Schultze and Jeff Scott flew from the US to capture the wedding.

The ceremony: Jenny & Brant exchanged vows at South Beach, one of the most beautiful venues in Cabo. Reverend Will Smith flew from Texas to conduct the ceremony.

The rehearsal dinner: Cabo de Sol Club House was the perfect location for a memorable dinner full of moving speeches.

The challenge: Initially, it was finding the right venues for 3 functions, welcome cocktail, rehearsal dinner and wedding festivities. “If you are flexible with dates, it is not a problem, but if you have a short engagement and have a particular date in mind, like we did, it was a little challenging. All worked out beautifully though.” The other most difficult thing was organizing all the details for the transportation. This was definitely the most time consuming.

The reward: “The most pleasant part for me was having Sarai as my representative on site there in Cabo. There was no problem that was too big for her. It was such a relief to have Sarai to speak the language and to secure the best of everything from the musicians to the food selections. She was always available to Jenny and me and took care of our every need.”

Beth B. (Mother of the Bride)

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!
