Help! Wedding Vendors For Event Near Los Barriles

[JesM]

Hi 

 

I am planning a wedding for January 2015 that is very small (35 people) at a house we rented and am struggling to find cost effective vendors.  I am looking for fresh flowers (a bridal bouquet and loose roses and succulents for DIY center pieces) and am getting quoted what seems like exorbitant rates ($750).  Are my expectations unreasonable or does anyone know of better options?  I would be happy to just find a vendor and DIY the bouquet as well.  Driving to Cabo and back (2 hours) is out of the question the day of the wedding.

 

Also, does anyone have experience with caterers in or around Los Barriles?  I have paid a coordinator to help connect with vendors, but so far am not impressed with the quotes.  She keeps mentioning people she has asked to reserve the date by first name, but doesn't provide full contact info or a quote.

 

Finally, what should I expect to pay for rentals (tables, chairs, linens, dishware)?

 

Thank you in advance for your help!

It almost sounds like the WC has private arrangements with particular people and doesn't really want you to have much information about them.  I would be leary of that - you need to be able to do some research and decide if that is the way you want to go.

 

There is a Costco in Cabo and they usually have flowers - not sure about the succulents - but I'm sure you could find something that will work.  Should be a lot less expensive than $750.

 

Good Luck.
