You'll be surpised, Cabo is EXPENSIVE! Just a little heads up, as I too did not anticipate such a huuuge difference in cost for a Cabo wedding vs other beaches in Mexico.
As for your 30k budget in CAD, that's about 22k in USD (almost everything in cabo is priced in USD) - is this your entire budget? (rings, dress, DJ, flowers, video, photography, rings etc?) because an entire budget of 22k budget in Cabo for that high of guest count is actually considered a "very low budget" in Cabo (I should know, as our original budget was $20k USD but for 40 guests). We were blown away at how quickly a non-resort style wedding added up. Photography and videography services are very expensive and will eat a bulk of your budget (if you plan on having). Flowers are super expensive since all are transported via cargo ship from central mexico. A resort wedding will be by far the most cost efficient route to take with your guest count and budget. Have you all considered Playa del Carmen or Cancun? With your budget and guest count, you all can definitely pull it off in either of those locations! It's not as luxurious feeling as Cabo, but it's still gorgeous! I attended a recent wedding at the Grand Coral Beach Club in Playa del Carmen (outdoor/non-resort venue) and it was great!
Well back to the topic, below is the venue pricing information from 2016 I was able to find in my email. I visited Cabo del Sol during my site visit to Cabo when searching for our venue and I will say it's a beautiful location! And Luz (the coordinator) is such a joy to speak with!
I don't have their catering information in email since Luz provided that in person. If still interested, then let me know and I will search in my files to see if I still have anything on it. I don't remember the catering price being too over the top, but do remember their open bar packages were pricey!
