Love that idea...we're thinking about doing a candy bar table!

Congrats & Welcome! There are a ton of PV brides on the board--you're in good hands!

Congratulations and welcome!

Welcome to the Forum! We have not yet picked our location but was working with another WC from Fiestas Los Cabos. We visited the FA Imperial Suite on our scouting trip and loved it. Also, a good friend of mine was married there 2 years ago and her guests still talk about how perfect her wedding was. Feel free to PM me for additional info.

You won't go wrong with either bouquet but the 1st is very unique.

Welcome and Congrats! You will find all the info you need on this board to help you plan your wedding!

Congrats and Good Luck picking the location! I was engaged last June and have still not picked a location. We were pretty much set on Cabo but keep feeling guilty about all of the people who won't be able to make it. In any case, this forum is the best, by far, for tips, advice and ideas. Cruise through some of the accomodation and sites indexes for location ideas.

Congrats & Welcome, You'll find all the info you need on this board. Happy Planning!!

Re: buying liquor at the airport...We were in Cabo in April and bought a couple of bottles of tequila. They tagged and carried onto the plane for us, however, because we had a connecting flight the tag and carry rule did not apply when we got into the states. If you plan to buy in Mexico, be sure you're on a nonstop flight into the states.

Congrats & Welcome Amber! You've found a gem of a site if you decide to do a DW in Mexico. I, too, live in San Jose, CA and am in the final stage of deciding between a DW in Cabo or staying local so feel free to PM me if you need any advice/tips from either perspective.

2007 wedding info and pics for the Pacifica property attached. Sorry for the large files...I tried to reduce the PDF file size but I think I lost the pic resolution in the process. FYI...my sister just returned from a 4-day visit to Cabo and stayed at the Pacifica and LOVED the property. She said the effort put forth by the staff was like nothing she's ever experienced.

I love this idea! Officially stealing this one. Thanks!!

Congratulations & Welcome! There are a ton of Dreams Cabo brides on the board so you're in good hands. Check out the Cabo Site & Accommodations section and check out the Dreams threads. Good luck!!

Welcome to the forum--tons of advice and tips you'll find on the board! I became engaged last July and have not yet picked a location so good luck!!

Hi Erica, Welcome to the forum and congratulations! Good luck with your passport issue--my sister was able to get a response by visiting the passport office who serviced her county. Sounds like you're on top of it but another option if you haven't already tried this.

Congrats--and beautiful pics!

Hi Jenesis, I'm not familiar with the restaurants you've listed on your poll but here are some other recommendations: Sunset da Mona Lisa Baja Cantina (casual) Ediths

Hi Jessica, Ruben Vargas is the owner?/manager of DG Lounge--he was so very nice. The club was already closed by the time we made it there and he opened back up to serve us wine! His email is [email protected]. Phone number for DG Lounge is (52) (624) 145-8160. You can also check out the website NocheMexico.com & Hautter.com, go to the nightclubs link and scroll down to DG Lounge for add'l info. As soon as I can get my FI to figure out how to downloand the pics from his new camera, I'll post more pics. Emma and I played phone tag so I'll keep you posted on her rec's for wedding coordinators. Thanks!! Lisa

Hi All, Thought I'd attach some pics we received from our WP for Esperanza along with the budget they proposed for a 60-person wedding ceremony/reception. The second we pulled into Esperanza we knew we found our place; unfortunately, our wallets do not agree! Anyways, hope someone on this forum gets married there! FYI... in addition to a $5k location fee, they also require that the bride/groom to stay in one of their suites for a minimum of 5 nights. I'd love to do day before/after but couldn't justify a required added expense of $4500 - $5000 for hotel accommodations when the $5k site fee would not be waived.

Great idea!!

Golden Gate Club SF (part of the Presidio Parks & Rec) Carnelian Room (beautiful views!) Claremont Resort & Spa (Berkeley) Not sure if you're open to a winery wedding but you could probably keep your costs down in a wine cave/cellar. I'm sure you've already checked out herecomestheguide.com for bay area locations? Good luck!

Congratulations Edyta! You look beautiful and your pics show you much fun you guys had on your special day!

Hi Jessica, Thanks so much for clarifying the minimums/consumption fees; this makes me feel much better. The more I think about it, the more I feel like the WP we're working with isn't on point so I may be looking for someone else soon. I'll contact Emma, tomorrow, and so that I can get obtain accurate information. So the construction is an eyesore; it looks like it's in the beginning stages so a lot of it was concrete and metal. I contacted the company who's developing the property and they said planned completion would be the 1st quarter of '08. I'm sure by the time November rolls around, walls will be built so it won't look so raggedy. In all actuality, the ceremony view point is facing the opposite direction of the construction so it's not in your face, plus by the time your reception starts, it will be dark so you won't see it. Do not worry! Sunset is BEAUTIFUL and does not compare to any other site we visited so, rest assured--you've picked a perfect location! Be sure to check out the DG Lounge; it's located upstairs from the restaurant (separately owned) and is so very cool! If you're in the mood to keep the party going, guests can go upstairs for free DJ dancing. You may want to contact the owner to find out if he could reserve tables for you (I have his contact info if you want it). You may be able to find some pics online--I'll post our pics in a trip report very soon! Thank you, again! Lisa

Congrats & Welcome to the Forum!
