A Bride-Turned-Planner’s Guide to Selecting the Perfect Wedding Venue in Cabo, Mexico

Cabo San Lucas has long been a dream destination for couples craving sun-drenched coastlines, vibrant culture, and unforgettable wedding backdrops. But with so many stunning options, choosing the right venue in Cabo can feel overwhelming—especially for couples planning from afar.

To help, we tapped into the expert advice of Amanda Antonetti, a destination wedding planner and recent Cabo bride. Amanda planned her own celebration at the Hard Rock Hotel Los Cabos, giving her a unique dual perspective: both as a professional and as someone who’s been in her clients’ shoes.

Here, Amanda shares her personal and professional tips for selecting the perfect wedding venue in Cabo.

So someone invited themselves (or an unallotted plus one) to your wedding? How the heck do you tell them “no” without causing drama?

No worries - the pros have your back! Here is some of their sage advice:

1. Calmly address the issue immediately, over the phone or in person, if possible, instead of via text or email.

2. Make your invitations, RSVP details, and wedding website crystal clear about who’s invited.

3. Feeling guilty? It’s okay to prioritize your happiness and budget over someone else’s expectations.

4. Remember, you can always host a casual post-wedding gathering to celebrate with those who couldn’t be there.

Chris & Ebony, co-workers turned couple, wanted their wedding to reflect them—a beautiful blend of Jamaican and Portuguese roots. 🇯🇲🇵🇹

With family ties to both countries, it was initially a toss-up between Jamaica and Portugal… but Portugal won for its ease, charm, and the bonus of having Ebony’s dad nearby to help with planning! ☀️

Quinta do Roseiral in Ericeira sealed the deal with its lush gardens, ocean breeze, and effortless elegance. 🍃

Let’s face it. Wedding planning IS stressful, no matter what kind of person you are! Add on the “destination” factor and you have yourself the perfect storm. I, a very Type B, go-with-the-flow person, even had a couple MELTDOWNS from it all. 🫠😂

You know what helped me most to ease the stress of planning a wedding in a place I didn’t live? A pre-wedding trip to my destination!

In fact, according to renowned wedding planner Michelle Durpetti, nothing truly replaces the value of stepping into your wedding destination in person. “A scouting trip is truly invaluable,” Durpetti says. “It gives couples the opportunity to physically experience their venue options, meet their vendors face-to-face, and see the flow of a day in real-time.”

Not convinced? It’s okay, I was hesitant too. After all, it’s an extra cost you may not have budgeted for and yet another thing to plan. BUT I am a believer now!

Paradise Found 🏝️

Rosewood Baha Mar is not only an easy destination to access, but the list of amenities simply do not stop! On our recent trip to Baha Mar, we discovered why it’s the PERFECT place to host a Caribbean wedding where everyone can stay on the same property!

Choose from three iconic oceanfront hotels — the richly refined Rosewood (perfect for the couple), the playfully hip SLS (ideal for the bridal party), or the stylish and modern Grand Hyatt (budget friendly for the guests) — each offering stunning views and an epic selection of pools!

Destination I Do has teamed up with Engine - a travel management company that takes the stress out of booking your destination wedding room blocks!

No matter if you need a room block at a luxury resort in Mexico or a mid-priced hotel in Atlanta, Engine does all the hard work so you don’t have to.

OH - did we mention, it’s FREE TO USE?

Say “room block” in the comments for a DM link to get guest accommodations checked off that wedding to-do list. ✅

Ever wonder why the moment you mention the word “wedding,” the cost seems to double—or even triple?

You’re definitely not imagining it! The reality is that vendors often charge more for weddings than they do for other events.

BUT, before you assume it’s just a case of price gouging, there’s actually a lot more to it than meets the eye.

Comment “wedding markup” to read our full article on why weddings come with a higher price tag than standard events!

Lauren and Gosuami’s wedding journey was a labor

Lauren and Gosuami’s wedding journey was a labor of love, carefully woven with intention and a deep appreciation for the beauty of the Italian countryside. They found their perfect setting at Buccelletti Casali and Cantina (an old Olive Mill) in Castiglion Fiorentino, Tuscany.

“With its rustic charm and breathtaking scenery of vineyards and coastal hills, it was a place that set the tone for a warm, minimalist celebration,” Gosuami says.
