On January 23-25th, Los Cabos destination wedding professionals including our team, Be That Bride Events, A Matter of Taste Catering, and Linens, Things & More came together to showcase some of the area’s best event planning services. Los Cabos has long been known as an outstanding location for destination weddings, with sunny weather, gorgeous beaches, luxurious villa rentals and stunning beachfront resorts. Hosted by Linens, Things & More, this wedding showcase offered just a taste of the many unique offerings available to couples looking to customize their dream wedding.
The event took place at Villa Marcella, a magnificent estate set right on the sand of Pedregal Beach in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Located in Cabo’s most exclusive community, this 5BR vacation villa rental is perfect for scenic weddings and sleeps up to 14 guests in comfort and style. Events of up to 200 guests can easily be accommodated at this beautiful estate, offering breathtaking vistas of the Pacific Ocean and beach. While the location feels wonderfully serene and private, downtown Cabo San Lucas is but minutes away.
Let us help you start planning your perfect special event or destination wedding at the sunny tip of Baja!
Here are just a few photos from the event…

The Los Cabos menu—extraordinary scenery, exhilarating activities, great restaurants and shopping, stupendous villas and resorts—has so much to offer travelers that 10 trips aren’t enough to enjoy it all. But for a wedding, an event at which the principals might enjoy all those things listed above, there’s only one shot: you have to get it right. That’s why we work with the team of Be That Bride Events (BTBE) to deliver Cabo’s signature destination weddings. BTBE gets it ALL right, to the most minute details, so a bride’s only sigh will be one of bliss.
BTBE is a division of Be That Bride, a marketing company (and Internet talk show) for destination weddings. The company grew out of Alec and T. Photography, which has focused on Los Cabos weddings for over 5 years, with 10 years’ wedding photography background in general. The company has a long track record of seamlessly working with the Los Cabos area’s finest vendors so that wedding planning—and especially the wedding day—feels like a work of art. But a work of art that’s incredibly and memorably fun!
“We have a strong communication with all the wedding professionals that we work with. We are ‘vendor friendly’—we make sure that they get support to do their job to the very fullest. For instance, since every photographer works differently, the photographer will have a say in the timeline so his or her photography style can shine. The musician will have support for their sound equipment and setup. The floral design team will be involved from day one. The wedding will be a total team effort,” says T. Thompson, of Be That Bride. Thompson has considerable cred regarding BTBE’s wedding expertise: “This happens all the time: a couple says, ‘the wedding was perfect, I would not have changed a thing. You made my vision become reality.’”
Of course, one significant advantage wedding couples have is Los Cabos itself. Few venues can boast its stunning vistas, its inviting air, its sense of place. As Thompson says, “Los Cabos is made for weddings! The weather is almost perfect year-round. It’s very safe. Many of the resorts specialize in weddings and the wedding vendors are wonderful. Because Cabo has so many weddings, the standard of service is very high compared to other Mexico destination weddings.”
Dream destination weddings in Cabo start with the professional and friendly planning guidance of our team. Photo courtesy of Alec & T Photography.
BTBE does right by its clients: They provide full disclosure on costs, not marking up for vendors, or accepting commissions from vendors. But no costs are cut either: all wedding-associated items are top-quality, every time. They strive to work within the budgets of their clients, and to deliver a spectacular experience. They know communication is the key, and thus they are personally involved with the bride and groom from the very start.
Working with our team at Be That Bride Events means your wedding will be the most relaxed knot you’ll ever tie. Los Cabos is a place of magical sights and happy feelings: a wedding here captures that enchantment, making delightful moments that become joyful memories forever.

Congratulations to Sanoj & Tessy, who charmed us with their sweet and creative proposal story and won our 2011 Los Cabos Engagement Story Contest! They’re the lucky winners of a 3-night stay at the beautiful and romantic Fiesta Americana Grand Los Cabos Resort. Here’s their story:
My fiancee, Tessy, attended a bridal show a few months back and entered her name in several drawings/raffles. Afterwards, she called me and told me everything she put her name for and added, “Oh Sanoj if I win anything, I would be so happy!” She mentioned that she never had won anything in her life. She claimed she was bad luck.
So my proposal plan was simple. I was going to make it seem like Tessy’s was a winner of a fake bridal contest. I found a local floral shop and asked the manager if she and her employees would help me with my mischievous plan. I pleaded with the manager that if she helped me, I would buy a nice bouquet of assorted flowers and name my firstborn after their shop. (The shop’s name was Flora, so I pray that my firstborn is a girl!). The plan was for the flower shop to call Tessy and say that her and a guest won a “Bridal Night of Fun” for the upcoming Saturday evening. Tessy and her guest would have to come to the floral place at on Saturday to pick up the flowers that she won, the tickets for the dinner cruise, and a packaged gift that could only be opened on the boat. To make sure everything worked out smoothly, I gave the floral shop a prompt of what exactly to tell her/say on the phone. Luckily, they passed with flying colors. Tessy did seem suspicious at first, but I kept planning seeds in her mind with comments like “Oh Tessy, what happens if you win a free honeymoon!” or “If anything, you get free food!” Eventually, Tessy was pumped up and excited to see what she had won.
The Fiesta Americana Grand Resort
I timed it so that while Tessy was at the flower shop picking up her prize, I was already on the boat. Finally the time came, when Tessy and her sister arrived. I decided to hide on the other side of the boat. Once they got on the boat, the captain welcomed them and said “Welcome aboard. Go ahead and take a seat. Your dinner is still being prepared, so in the mean-time open up your gift to see what you’ve won.” Tessy sat down and opened up her gift only to discover it was a scrapbook that I had made. It had all the pictures that we/ had taken since we first met and basically a long love letter of how I fell in love with her, why I love her, and what I wanted for us in the future. The last page consisted of a hand-written love-letter…and ended with the lines “I know you say you never win anything, but since the first day I saw you….you’ve won my heart.” I could hear her crying. I walked around and went down on one knee and proposed. She ran into my arms and said, “Yes!”

Whether you’re having a 150 guest massive old Hollywood glamour wedding or a simple elegant elopement for two, here is a list of 5 essentials for every Los Cabos bride:
1. Passport
In order to go to Los Cabos from the US, you’re going to need a passport. I know this may sound like a no-brainer; however, with the several thousand details that you have been responsible for planning since the day you said, “yes,” sometimes the most obvious can be overlooked. Make sure to have your passport tucked safely away in your carry-on luggage long before you leave for the airport.
2. Comfy Shoes
While your wedding shoes will definitely be on your checklist of items to bring, you will also want to include your favorite pair of walking shoes. After your big day, you will not want to miss what the area has to offer. You and your husband may want to head up to San Jose del Cabo and stroll through this hidden gem. Here you can find unique art, authentic dining and a town square filled with historical monuments. In Cabo San Lucas you are sure to put miles of lasting memories on those comfy pair of shoes as you wander around the marina and Cabo San Lucas proper.
3. Sunscreen
I’m sure that you’re thinking “Of course I’ll bring sunscreen!” However, while you and your bridesmaids are lounging around the pool, with a margarita in hand, the day before your wedding, the Cabo sun could do its damage unless you’ve covered up SPF30. I can’t think of anything worse than a really bad sun burn on your wedding day. While our make up and hair divas at Suzanne Morel are sometimes called magicians, even magic can’t take a way the pain of a beautiful wedding dress rubbing against freshly sunburned skin. Pack it in and smear it on so you’re sure to feel spectacular on your special day!
4. Sense of humor
Steinbeck said it best “The best laid schemes of mice and men / Go oft awry”. You can have everything planned, have everyone in their place, have the best vendors available, and something is still sure to go awry. Just keep chanting to yourself “I’m on vacation. I’m on vacation.” Because even the worst day on vacation is still vacation and if you can take a step back, you will remember why you’re there – to get married in the most beautiful place imaginable! And that should put a giant smile on your face. Feel the love, take a breath, and take a shot of….
5. TEQUILA
You’re in Mexico! Celebrate! Tequila tasting! Have a margarita! Put your feet up, enjoy the million dollar sunset and focus on why you’re in Los Cabos! Soak up the sun, suck down a cocktail, and cherish every moment. You’ve made it! You’re in Cabo with the person of your dreams, you just got married, and there is nothing going on more special than that.
