What Makes Cabo the Perfect Spot for a Destination Wedding?

Brides and grooms love getting married in Cabo San Lucas for the following reasons:

• Reliable Weather — Cabo experiences warm, sunny weather all year with minimal rainfall, so it’s a great spot to get married in the winter if you want a warm, outdoor wedding or during all times of the year if you want to minimize your risk of getting rained on during your ceremony.
• Stunning Backdrops — From beautiful beaches and jaw-dropping coastlines to lush rainforests and mountainous deserts, Los Cabos offers a range of wedding venues with unique backdrops for a picturesque ceremony and reception.
• Convenient Proximity — Los Cabos is a quick flight from most cities in the U.S., and some airports on the West Coast even offer direct flights to Cabo, making it an easy destination for you (and your wedding guests!) to travel to without complications or delays.
• Accommodation Options — Los Cabos has no shortage of places to stay, making it easy to find comfortable and spacious accommodations for your bridal party and wedding guests.
• Local Services — Since Los Cabos is such a popular location for destination weddings, you’ll be able to find most (if not all!) of the vendors and services you need locally, including catering, a bartender, a photographer, a florist, and a DJ.

Tips for Planning Your Wedding Date in Cabo San Lucas

Before getting married in Cabo San Lucas, here are a few things to consider:

• Peak Season — December through April is the most popular time to visit Cabo San Lucas, so if you plan to get married during the winter or spring, expect higher prices and less availability at popular venues in Cabo (and be sure to book your dream venue plenty of time in advance!).
• Legal Requirements — To get legally married in Cabo San Lucas, you must bring a copy of your birth certificate, passport, tourist immigration form, and blood tests completed in Los Cabos. You will also need four adult witnesses and an application to marry.
• Local Vendors — Consider hiring local vendors, like wedding planners and photographers, for a smooth, uncomplicated process. Vendors who live in Mexico have an intimate understanding of the local area and the venues in Cabo to ensure that your big day’s details are planned perfectly!
