Lovely Weddings

This company was highly recommended by another very helpful vendor that we have contacted. Below are her rates & services, as well as some supplemental info from an email:

The requirements to get legally married are:

Ceremonies and Legalities:

Please consider that ceremonies and the legal aspect to get married here in Mexico are two different things. Ceremonies are only protocol since they will not make your marriage legal.

 

If you decide to get legally married in your country, then the legal expenses are waived and still you will have the opportunity to have a ceremony here in Mexico.

 

There are 5 ceremonies that we usually offer to our clients:

 

The civil – standard ceremony which is the translation of the ceremony that the Judge performs (legal ceremony)

The Love Ceremony

The Sacred Ceremony

Multi faith Ceremony

Traditional Ceremony

 

These ceremonies are performed by Robin Clements our recommended American Minister. Please consider an extra expense of $350.00 USD

 

Feel free to request a copy of these ceremonies.

Rehearsal Dinner:

After the rehearsal, you may wish to have a rehearsal dinner and this is a service that we usually coordinate as well. Some options are available in San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas and with different prices and atmospheres, We can give you details upon request.

 

MUSIC OPTIONS:

 

Disc Jockey

Highly recommended. If you want your reception to be a party, you should consider this option. The DJ is the only one capable of providing many different types of music from the beginning until the end of your wedding. The price is $200.00 USD per hour. The DJ offers the following services:

 

DJ Provides recorded music appropriate for each part of your wedding, such as the pre-ceremony welcome time, the processional, the post-wedding cocktail hour, dinner, first dance, party, etc.

A cordless microphone for the ceremony and toast is included too.

 

If appropriate, can provide special lighting effects for the party such as is found at many popular dance clubs. (This service has an extra charge)

 

Please feel free to request our “DJ List of Songs”. It is a 40-page document, and even it is not a complete list. On the list is music ranging from classical to hip-hop, and everything in between. If you also want to bring some of your own music on CDs, the DJ will play them for you. He will take good care of them and return them to you after your wedding.

 

NOTE: If there is any song missing in the DJ’s List of Song that you would like to have on your wedding please feel free to request it.

 

Mexican Trio:

The trio is recommended to create a Mexican ambiance. It is just perfect for weddings of less than 50 guests. Music from the Mexican Trio is appropriate after the ceremony or during dinner. One hour of their time is recommended, and certainly no more than two. $350.00 USD per hour

 

Mariachi:

The Mariachi and Mexican Trio are similar since both play Mexican music. However the Trio plays more romantic music and the Mariachi band is more fun and festive. There are 6 players in a Mariachi band, and it is recommended for weddings over 50 guests. The Mariachi is highly recommended right after the ceremony. $500.00 USD per hour

 

Classical music options:

We use the services of several different classical music trios and duos to provide classical music for your wedding. We highly recommend this service, even for a beach wedding. This is the best option if you wish to receive your guests formally. Our musicians can play music for your processional, recessional and even incorporate music during the ceremony. They add a very nice touch to any post-ceremony cocktail reception. One to two hours is generally enough. We also have a list with their most requested music, so feel free to request a copy of the list.

My work is to coordinate all wedding arrangements and for organizational purposes I would preffer to arrange vendors in order to guarantee their work, but if you preffer to do it your self that would be ok with me, in that case I cannot guarantee their job, I can work and coordinate with them whithout any problem.

 

I dont mark any price on the vendors, those are their normal prices. I just charge a fee for my services depending on the number of people attending to your wedding.

 

I have been coordinating weddings for over 3 years now, two of them at Finisterra Hotel in cabo San Lucas, where I worked as Guest Services Manager. Then I decided doing weddings on my own and I have been doing this for 1 year and a half with Lovely Cabo Weddings.

 

Normally I work at El Encanto Inn in San Jose del Cabo, place that I used to managed. You can acces to their web site www.elencantoinn.com and ask references for my work.

 

Hope this information works for you.

 

Looking forward to hearing from you

great information!! i think Juan C. recommends them as well...good to know.

Wow, wish I knew about them before I hired WIP.. :-(

I think we're going to hire her so we will let ya'll know how it goes

sorry Tammy. Have they been a pain?

OMG YES... about EVERYTHING.. I've got to the point that I'm booking things on my own because it's less hassle and saves me money. See they were suppose to book these things for me as part of the price, HOWEVER what I found out later is that if they quote me say 200.00 for flowers if I call the florist directly the flowers are actually 150.00 (or something like that) so they mark everything up without you knowing. Maybe that's what they all do.. But it's just not worth the hassle..

Tammy, Can you just fire them? Maybe pay them a portion of their fee and tell them they don't need to do anything else? Especially since they're not doing what they said they would do! Which of their coordinators are you workign with?

 

At this point it may not be worth it but if you fired them and switched to another coordinator to do just day-of it might be worth it.. I don't know. Just an idea!

I would but it would cost us more money and who's to say I wouldn't have the same problems with another coordinator. I'm (crossing fingers) hoping that they get better as time goes by.. I've hired them about 3 or so months ago and out of that time I got ONE day that I was actually happy with them.

 

BTW I hired WIP...

Maybe they just take a while to warm up and as you get closer to the date they'll get better. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! I'm sure in the end it'l be gorgeous and perfect!

Thanks I hope your right...
