Type of ceremonies

 

Legal

This one is performed in Spanish by the judge and translated into English symultaneously. There is paperwork involved, as well as blood test and additional fees (blood test is $200.00 us per couple that needs to be paid in cash; the blood test take place in the couple’s room the next morning after their arrival). In this case we need that the couple gets to Los Cabos at least 2 week days before the wedding day. Couple is required to fill out a form of information as well as send scanned copies of some documents. 4 witnesses are required, but if the bride and groom and traveling alone, the hotel can provide the witnesses.

 

Symbolic

This type of ceremony is performed in English by a minister. There is no paper work nor blood test or additional fees involved. The couple needs to get to Los Cabos at least 2 week days before the wedding day. We put the minister in contact with the couple with months in advance so they can work together on the vows.
