We just got married this June and wanted to share my experience. Multiple things did not go as planned. I am not the person to be mean and try to take away from someones business but try to be more informative for brides to be. If anyone has questions about the vendors I used please pm me and I will give my honest opinion in private. Airline: United Got to the airport early and carried on my wedding dress. The airline was very rude about me asking what to do with my dress. Prior to leaving I did call the airline and was told that they would accommodate me with my dress. I had to put my dress in the over head compartment. I was not very happy. Resort: Villa Groups We had 30 guests stay between Villa del Arco and Villa del Palmar. We stayed at Arco and had no complaints. Welcome Bags: We put together a beach bag with beach towels (great to see where our guests were at the resort pools). Tylenol, pens, mints, personalized jellybeans, tums, aloe, hand santizer, etc Everyone loved them. Wedding Coordinator: Christina Mattos - Cabo Beach Weddings Very tentative at first but then one month, no communication. Two weeks before our wedding there was still no communication. She did not even show up at our restaurant for our wedding dinner (things were messed up there, I'll explain down below). Our contract stated additional labor assistants: two for $20/hr = $160 Only one assistant showed up :/ If I was getting married again I would hire someone else. Hair and Make-up: Blanc Bridal Salon We opted to rent out a Spa el Rincon and it was worth the view! Neysa and Susana were our stylist. Neysa did my hair and make up and it came out perfect. I don't wear make up normally and she did a get job keeping it light. We went to The Giggling Marlin after dinner and yes I did get hung upside down by my ankles and took the three shots in my wedding dress. My hair did not move or get messed up. Flowers: Baja Flowers Recommended by my coordinator. Flower were not as talked about. My bouquet was smaller than my bridesmaids. I was suppose to have "big, open" their words two dozen roses (bc they would not get the flowers I really wanted). My flowers were so small. Photographer: Gilda Badillo Absolutely loved her! She came to the resort took pictures, took my husband and me into town in her jeep for pictures for over an hour, went to the beach and then to the restaurant. She shows you pictures as she takes them because honestly taking the pictures we were like how could this look good and OMG they looked amazing. She stayed with us longer than we paid her for and was fine with it. However; we still have not seen any proofs. I did email her and she responded quickly and told us why. If our pictures come out half as good as they looked on her camera, we are more than satisfied! Ceremony: Pedregel Beach ​Beach is private with no vendors and an amazing sunset! ​But of course you can't tell people to leave so during out ceremony there was a family there. The children were doing cartwheels behind our minister. Hopefully they didn't ruin all of our pictures. Transportation: Operadora Turistica Cielito Lindo We used them for airport/hotel transfer and for our wedding. Amazing, professional and friendly. My coordinator tried to have me use her company instead and glad we did not as we did save a significant amount of money going to Cielito Lindo. Music: Cabo Mariachi Great, but when there hour is up they just leave. Reception: Maria Corona Restaurant We loved this restaurant so without hesitation we booked our dinner there. Took over a year to get a contract that we wanted but that didn't seem to matter. Originally the meal we wanted served they would only do a a buffet style and we did not want that. We opted for a chicken and steak sit down meal. We made sure that out contract stated that. When we arrived it was set up as a buffet. I was so upset and to top it off my coordinator did not show up so we were stuck with the buffet. She sent her assistant, only to find out the next day when I called her that she forgot to give details to her assistant on what should have been done. Over a month later no response from the restaurant or my coordinator about the mistake. CupCakes: Unknown Bakery, my coordinator hired them. I paid $3.50 each (a lot) for 40 cupcakes with a pink sugar rose on top. Being that I wanted the sugar rose we were ok with paying the $3.50. That is not what we got. The rose was just icing. Not to mention the cupcakes were disguising. Do get the Los Cabo Passport, saved us a lot of money with restaurants and activities. Make sure your coordinator is detailed oriented. Nothing worse then your coordinator not caring. Katie Parent's Dinner: Salvatore Restaurant Amazing italian food. Make reservations. Welcome Party: Baja Brewing Company Rob was easy to work with and we planned our welcome party in one week. The views above Cabo Villas is amazing when the sun sets. We did the pizza fiesta buffet with root beer floats! Great food! Highly recommended.

Has anyone had problems having their coordinator respond to them? I'm two weeks out and emails and phone calls are going unanswered. Should I look at hiring someone else. Any advice? Katie

Has anyone used Cabo Flowers and Cakes?

I need to get transportation from Villa del Arco to Pedregal Beach and then to a restaurant. Does anyone have recommendations on a company? We went to Cabo this past summer and used Cielito Lindo and they were great and less expensive then most companies. They are pricing me excellent but my wedding coordinator feels that I should use the company she recommends stating they might show up late or not know how to get to Pedregal Beach. Has anyone used them for their wedding? Thanks for the help.

Anyone use Christina from Cabo Beach Weddings?

I'm looking at a Cabo wedding too. I have been talking to Christina Mattos from Cabo Beach Wedding. I'm just concerned that we will send our money down there and then there would be nothing done. What has everyone experience been? Thanks for the help.

I am thinking about having my wedding at Dreams Palm Beach. Does anyone have an experience with this resort? Thanks.

Looking at finding out all the information I can about a 2015 Big Island Wedding.
