Hi Girls, I just got back from the Cabo and a week honeymoon in Nicaragua today. My wedding was at the Cabo Surf Hotel on Feb 16th and it was amazing. I need to get back to reality and then I will write my review of vendors etc. This forum was amazing and it really helped in the planning. Not sure what I would have done without it. Janet was especially helpfull! (thank you!) Anyone getting married at the CSH will be very happy. Armando was great and everything was perfect! Full review coming, I promise. Lisa

I am getting married at the CSH on the 16th of Feb. My guests are staying downtown and I am staying for 1 night (friday). Armando did not charge me a site fee beacuse I explained that I did not know everyone's budget but some people may stay. I am doing a bar by consumption and not bringing any wine etc. I am having pitchers of margaritas on the tables. I am using Ixchel (ask for Monica) and she is charging 10pp round trip. They are picking up at 3 different locations downtown and will schedule 2 pickups to go home. Let me know if you have any more questions. Hopefully I will have some time surf the forum before I leave this friday. This forum is awesome and has been a great help. kudos to everyone on it! Lisa

We are getting married at the Cabo Surf Hotel but everyone is staying in downtown Cabo. I am providing the transportation. I knew I would eliminate people if the hotel was too expensive. I provided a list of hotels within all budgets. Lisa

I actually booked Mariachi Los Cabos International to play for my wedding in Feb. 2007. Jose has been very responsive and I have been dealing with him via email. He has always resonded. I have heard they are very good. You can tell him I recommeded you. [email protected] Lisa

Wow. That is great. How long do these rates apply? I am getting married Feb 16. and I would probably need a couple of Vans/Suburbans. Lisa

Thanks Natasha. I will do some hunting around. You review sounded so great I thought they would be a lot of fun. Lisa

Great review Natasha! I am considering the Salsa dancers. Do you have a contact? Lisa

I didn't really care much that they weren't exactly what I ordered because the blooms that I got from The Flower Cart were just so huge and gorgeous that I loved them instantly. The best part is that I paid $250 total for all my flowers (5 bouquets, 5 bouts, 2 corsages, 7 centerpieces worth)! And we had enough extra leftover after the wedding to put little vases of them all over our honeymoon suite. It was such a special treat all week to have a little piece of the wedding with us. Hey Janet, Your flowers are beautiful and what a great deal. Where did you get your flowers? Lisa

Janet, Thanks for the awesome detailed review. I am so excited our venue is the Cabo surf hotel too! Now enjoy the honeymoon!!! Lisa

Sarah, I am actually having my dinner and no dancing. A couple of years ago my brother got married in the islands and we were there for the entire week. We partied hard all week and the wedding was Sat night. They had dinner and during dessert some people got up an spoke (unplanned) and then some of us went out for drinks after. They had music playing in the backround and it was perfect. Lisa

Janet, Congrats!!!! You look awesome and I am so glad you thought the Cabo surf hotel was perfect. Now I am really excited about getting married there! I can't wait to see more pictures and read your review! Enjoy the honeymoon! Lisa

Will do. thanks

Thanks! I will have to check the Tommy Bahama site. One more question, I couln't find your review. Where did you post it. I am dying to read it. I actuially hire the same mariachi band so I am really excited. Lisa

Hi Maria Elena, Your pictures are awesome and everything looks perfect!! I love your husband's shirt. Where did he get it? Lisa

Todos Santos is worth the trip. They have great restuarants and shops and it's very quaint, although it has been built up in the past few years. Lots of artists. As you enter town on the left side there is a Carnitas place. It's excellent. We have been stopping there for many years. They have expnaded their place and now have some small tables. I would check out Charles Stuart Gallery. He is originally from New Mexico and opened his studio there several years ago. They have a really pretty church and if you want to check the waves or go to the beach Los Cerritos is right there. Also, worth the trip is the fish camp. If you go around 3:30 all the pangas come in with their catch. At the last minute they catch a wave and pull up the motor and ride the wave in to park the boat. You can also but some fresh fish. Another beach right by Todos is the Las Palms. The beach is surrounded by Palm trees. It's really beautiful. A reaaly cool place to have lunch is La Poza. Check out their website. It's way down a dirt road so you are in for some fun! http://www.lapoza.com/ Can you tell I luv Todos Santos? Lisa

Thanks!! I love your website and I think I may use a few ideas. I didn't think to do the RSVP online so I have response cards. Lisa

I am using the weddingannoucer.com for free. I just started and it's pretty easy to use but not that fancy. Lisa

will do. Thanks

lol. that would be great. can't wait for your review!!

Is anyone buyiong travel Insurance? If so, is it just for flights and hotel or the entire reception? Lisa

Good idea. I am not sure how many people are coming but if it's not that many I didn't want to use the big tables of 10. I thought many we could put some of the smaller tables they use for lunch and idnner together. Do you remember how the restuarant was set up and where the bar was? Lisa

That's what I was afraid of too so I was going to include these hotels in the list of places to stay. They really are affordable. It's the flight to Cabo from the east coast that's going to be really expensive especially for the people bring families. Lisa

Hey Janet, How many people are you having? Did you do big tables of 10 or smaller ones? Lisa
