When Jamie and Christopher began envisioning their wedding, they sought a destination that could deliver three elements: “a beach, a sunset, and fireworks.” Cabo San Lucas checked all these boxes at an affordable price point for the couple.
Their wedding planner, Dee of Dee Lee Designs, played a pivotal role in recommending Grand Fiesta Americana Los Cabos. “We had other venues in mind, but they were out of our budget range. Dee’s recommendation was perfect for what we wanted,” Christopher adds.
One of the most significant hurdles for Jamie and Christopher was managing guest accommodations and travel logistics. Fortunately, their planner and her team stepped in, smoothing the room booking process and connecting them with a reliable local shuttle company for airport transportation.
Another challenge arose with communication between the couple and the venue. However, Dee Lee served as a crucial buffer, ensuring that everything ran smoothly.
The couple made sure to incorporate the vibrant culture of Cabo San Lucas into their wedding weekend. Their festivities began with a Cinco de Mayo welcome drink reception, where guests enjoyed margaritas, chips, and guacamole. This thoughtful touch allowed guests to relax and connect before the big day, which would feature more nods to the destination like a churro dessert cart!
Jamie and Christopher’s wedding reflected their personal style through carefully curated details. Inspired by Pinterest, the couple created an elegant and relaxed aesthetic. They also asked a close friend to officiate the ceremony, ensuring it had a deep, personal and heartfelt feel.
The bridal party’s attire mirrored the couple’s vision of understated sophistication, with bridesmaids in Birdy Grey dresses and groomsmen dressed by Friar Tux, who also outfitted Christopher.
Reflecting on their experience, Jamie and Christopher emphasize the importance of truly knowing your budget, and “be firm about it,” Jamie says. “Visit the venue before you book it so you understand if it’s what you’re looking for.”
Despite an overcast and drizzly day, Jamie and Christopher’s wedding turned out to be everything they dreamed of and more. As their photographer Alyssa Lizarraga immortalized each precious moment, Jamie and Christopher embarked on the next chapter of their lives with memories to treasure forever.
