We recently worked on a beautiful weekend wedding celebration, the kind that makes you wish you were a guest :-). We had lots of fun planning it though, and we are truly thankful to our charming bride with whom we worked on many cute details. Dawn really wanted every detail to be a reflection of her personality, as well as making each guest feel extra special of course. In her own words, "it's more fun to give than to receive:-)." 
 

Signature Drink: Upon each guest's arrival, a custom made welcome cocktail complete with a "disclosure agreement" awaited them in their hotel room. The drink is the groom's favorite mix: Tequila Corzo, Agave syrup & water. All perfectly mixed by Arturo, Esperanza's star bartender. 
Welcome bag: Courtesy of the bride and groom, each room was equipped with a beach bag containing a personalized t-shirt as a fun souvenir of the wedding. Among other things that were given: bar games, wet games, sun protection, sunglasses, chips, Gatorade, a first aid kit, an itinerary, etc. 
 

Favors: Every evening, a different amenity was placed in the guest's rooms. We worked with chef Gonzalo at Esperanza to make sure the wedding guests received yummy surprises every night during their stay.  
 
We also included a custom made door hanger, for guests to indicate their location during the day. 
Many thanks to Marisol Reyes, our awesome graphic designer! 
 
Enjoy!

Daytime highs are around 75 degrees and sunny in the winter time. Nights are cool and breezy, light sweaters or wraps are suggested. Summer highs are around 95 degrees or more.

Q: Do I need to take any special safety precautions in Mexico? 
First and foremost, it is important to note that Los Cabos and the sate of Baja California Sur are physically separated from those northern US/Mexico border cities specially identified within the Travel Warning by the nearly 1000-mile long Baja Peninsula and the Sea of Cortes.  
This isolated setting protects Los Cabos from the effects or potential activity which may occur in other areas of Mexico and in fact, provides vacationers with a highly sought sense of island-like sanctuary.  
 
However, you should take the regular safety precautions that you would in any vacation destination.  
 
Q: What activities are there to do while we are in Mexico? 
Whale watching season goes from November to February, you can enjoy spotting them from your ocean view hotel room or from the beach. Or, you can go on a whale watching boat trip that can be arranged by the hotel or by your planners :)  
 
Cabo also has world-renowned fishing and scuba-diving or snorkeling. You can catch a charter boat right from town to experience these water activities. In addition to the water activities, there is great golf and tennis that can be arranged by your hotel. Los Cabos also has amazing spa options, our very top 3: Capella, Esperanza, Palmilla. 
 
In terms of shopping, there is a luxury mall in downtown San Lucas and there are many tourist souvenir shops also. San Jose, "the old town" is a 20-min drive from San Lucas and has the old church, lots of shopping and art galleries that you can visit. On Thursday nights, San Jose offers the "art walk", an event where the galleries are open late and offer wine to shoppers. Its great fun.

Q: Can I drink the water? 
Water from the tap in most hotels is filtered and therefore OK to drink. Check with your hotel and see if they filter their tap water. Bottled water is suggested when you are in town and in restaurants.  
 
Q: Do I need to change money into Mexican pesos? 
while U.S. dollars are welcome everywhere, we suggest you change some money into Mexican pesos, since some resorts will have restrictions, depending the amount of your bill.  
 
Q: Can I use my credit card? 
Yes, credit cards are welcome, but you should alert your bank and credit card company that you are traveling to Mexico to avoid them from freezing your card due to unusual purchasing activity. We also suggest checking your bank's conversion exchange fees. 
 
Q: Do I need to tip in Mexico? 
In most hotels, tipping is included in your hotel bill. However tipping is customary at restaurants, bars and taxis and is typically 10% to 15% of your bill. 
 
Q: Will my cell phone work in Mexico? 
If you have an international calling plan you will be able to make and receive calls while you are in Mexico. Check with your carrier if you are not sure you have an international calling plan. 
 
Q: Is internet available? 
Most hotels offer complementary wireless access.
