Hi tzmufasa, I am planning to get married in Cabo as well, in April 2014, and haven't locked a venue yet, nor have we done a site visit. However, we are waiting to hear back from Casa Dorada, b/c that is where we want to have the wedding. Re: the cons, my WC recommended that we have the ceremony on one of the terraces to avoid the crowded beach and the noise that comes from the neighboring restaurants/bars. Barcelo looks beautiful, but we did not consider it as a venue, because it is so close to San Jose, and we wanted to be close to Cabo San Lucas (CD is walking distance into downtown and our guests are between 30-75, so no teenagers to worry about, though the ladies will want to go shopping, so being close to DT is important to us). The other plus to CD is that across the street is Hotel Bahia, which is a nice, but cheaper alternative for our guests who do not want to pay a lot of money for their rooms (i think it ranges from $125 to 175/nt), but I believe they can come into the CD to hang out with us for free (we are waiting for confirmation on that from the hotel). I think your deciding factor should be location- being in SJ del Cabo, or closer to CSL. If your guests are happy to stay in the hotel, or would like SJC (less shopping, more authentic Mexican towns), then choose Barcelo. If your guests want to shop, party, explore, then choose CD. Hope that helps! Let me know what you choose! Good luck!

Tammy, how can I open this??

Hi, I am waiting to hear from Casa Dorada for my 2014 nuptials- would youmind sending me the pricing info they gave you? Are you having the wedding on the terrace? That is what my WC suggested b/c of the crowds on the beach. How many people are you having in your wedding- I am thinking about 40-50, with a 10k budget. Anyone else with Casa Dorada info? PM me of email me: [email protected] Thanks!!

Hi All Past, Present and Future Brides of Cabo, I am hiring a wedding coordinator for my April 2014 nuptials in Cabo, but can't decide on who to pick. They both have gotten GREAT reviews on this forum, and pretty reasonably priced- one is about $280 more than the other. Both have also responded very quickly to all my questions, and both seem to be very sweet and kind. Also, I haven't really seen any RECENT reviews on either one of them (there was a negative one about Maye, but it sounded like a large wedding- my wedding will be very small,~40 guests), so I'm hoping some of you girls can give me your opinions on who to choose!! Thank you! Faleshia
