Define your budget with intention
Before choosing a location, vendors, or the number of guests, decide how much you want to spend on your big day. Consider expenses like lodging, transportation, group activities, and small extras that can add up. A clear budget allows you to make smart decisions, prioritize what's most important to you, and avoid surprises. At our resort in Los Cabos, we offer customized packages that adapt to different styles and budgets, from the ceremony to the reception and the party.
Choose the perfect date and book in advance
Choosing the date is crucial. Los Cabos offers sunny weather almost year-round, but the ideal wedding season is from November to April due to its pleasant temperatures and clear skies. If you're looking for a more intimate setting and special rates, the low season (May to October) is also a great option. We recommend booking at least 12 months in advance to ensure availability, the best rates, and more options.

Find the ideal location
Choose a venue that reflects your uniqueness as a couple, and that's also functional, beautiful, and offers excellent service. Consider accessibility for your guests, the views for your photos, and whether the space offers comprehensive services. At this exclusive oceanfront hotel, we have several locations to suit all styles:
12 Tribes Restaurant and Terrace: Elegant with ocean views. Ideal for medium-sized weddings (up to 120 people). Maydan Beach Club: Facing the Sea of Cortez, perfect for large weddings (up to 200 people). Ideal for sunset ceremonies. Maydan Restaurant: Intimate and sophisticated space, ideal for small, charming weddings.
Plus, we'll support you with everything from decor and furnishings to catering. Just bring your love, and we'll take care of the rest.

Rely on a local wedding coordinator. You'll have a dedicated coordinator from the resort's wedding team at your side who will guide you through the entire process: selecting vendors, coordinating details, scheduling tours, tastings, and more. With their support, you can relax and enjoy knowing everything is under control, even if you're planning from afar. We can arrange virtual meetings, inspection visits, and everything else you need to make your wedding perfect.
Choose the type of ceremony. Do you prefer a legal or symbolic ceremony? Both options have their charms. At Casa Dorada, we help you manage the legal requirements if you want your wedding to be officially recognized. And if you opt for a symbolic ceremony, you can include special rituals, personalized vows, and even have a loved one officiate your union, creating an intimate and meaningful moment.
Select vendors who share your vision. Vendors are key to making sure everything turns out just the way you dreamed it. Be sure to review portfolios, read reviews, and confirm availability. Choose professionals who know the area well and have experience with destination weddings. Your experience in this paradise begins with us working with a network of trusted vendors: florists, photographers, musicians, ministers, and more. All have been selected for their professionalism and quality. If you'd like to bring your own vendors, we can also help you integrate them into the plan.
