    The Twins

    in Cabo Wedding Vendors

    Posted

    So the Twins were not terrible , I just expected more high energy and really trying to get people on the dance floor. Dont get me wrong people danced for awhile but then the Twins lost everyone and me being an event planner had to go up to them with my assistant and tell them to "kick it up a notch" and gave them specific songs to get people on the dancefloor.

     

    Paying this much money, they should have done this. They were more shy than I expected. Their mexican music was good and the gypsy kings but the frank sinatra stuff etc. was really weak. I expected really great entertainers because everyone says they are so fabulous - but they were not all that. Trust me and when they left in a hummer at the end of the nite I really knew that I overpaid for them. Cabo del Sol upcharged a little bit for them so I think normally you can get them for 3k for 4 hours but still - for mediocre entertainment that is not a lot. And at the end a few people wanted more songs and they did not do it. The song everyone danced to the most was the CD I brought Jesse's girl. That really said it all to me, it was a waste of money.

    Hi,

    I just wanted to give my input on the Twins, I heard so much about them and how great they were so I booked them for 4 hours at my wedding. We only had 40 guests so this was a splurge at $3500.

     

    I am a wedding planner in the states so I hear lots of good wedding bands but honestly did not like the Twins. They are average and a DJ would have been a better choice.

     

    Think twice before booking, 3500 is a lot of money! DJ would have done the trick for sure!!!

    They are timely and professional. They have private escallades to take people from the airport to the resort and helped our guests tremendously.

     

    They also have large buses/shuttles to transport guests to events that are modern and clean with bathrooms.

     

    Highly recommend- the best in Cabo. They work at Las Ventanas.

    hi,

    well, i think if you book him directly it is 350 ...but see cabo del sol booked all of our vendors so they charged us 450 (they upcharged everything) but i didn't really mind because it was easier for billing for us.

     

    he will do anything you ask, religious non religious, he also does weddings at the one and only palmilla - where the celebrities get married...so he is reputable.

    Marco, he was personable and did what we asked we had 30% of the mass in spanish and it was on the golf course overlooking the ocean...he had beautiful words and it was seemless, he also was classy calm and wonderful. We had some religious segments because we are both catholic. he will do whatever.

     

    i highly recommend him!

    Review from April 21 Wedding

    I was married on April 21 at Cabo del Sol at the Golf Club. It was amazing, here is the review.

     

    Pueblo Bonito Pacifica-A+

    Classy resort, our guests stayed here. The service was fabulous, wonderful pools, beaches, restaurants. We rented the bed on the beach the day after our wedding and had a butler, Top class.

     

    Mi Casa Restaurant-A

    We had a welcome dinner for 40 people and it was around $2200. 3 course dinner plus drinks they could choose off the menu and we had a semi-private room. Really great! Yummy margaritas

     

    Wedding Planner - Romantic Cabo Weddings - A

    Illeana and her helper Luba did a fantastic job and did what I asked them to do. Very nice, they bought maracas

     

    Cabo Del Sol Wedding Site - A+++

    Susana the contact there is amazing, the whole place is like a mexican hacienda. It is gorgeous! The golf course is where we had the wedding ceremony and the clubhouse was the cocktail reception and dinner. It was amazing. The cuisine is superb, the service stellar. Everything we could imagine! Incredible. Our guests raved about everything. Cabo del Sol contracted The Twins band, mariachi and guitar player and minister so we just had them do all the billing and they coordinated everything! The way to go in Mexico. I cannot say enough about it! I got ready upstairs on the 2nd floor and it was so special.

     

    Elena Damy Flowers-

    Very nice job, very expensive. They did my bouquet and bridesmaid bouquet and 5 centerpieces for 1000. It was nice but I had to double check a lot because Elena just had her baby.

     

    Flower Cart Flowers- INCREDIBLE JOB. They did my arch and flower petal aisle for a bargain! Only 850 and it was so beautiful. My favorite thing for the whole weekend!

     

    Terramar Rentals - A++

    Adriana and Edson were great, I rented table linens and chargers, napkins to give my wedding a very classy look and they delivered and did a fabulous job!

     

    Cabo vip Services-(transport company)

    Andres the owner is fabulous, highly recommend him, he has beautiful shuttles with bathrooms and is on time

     

    Ixchel Shuttle-

    They were late a few times - do not recommend them, sorry.

     

    Jesus for Hair- A+++

    So talented, sweet, caring and calm, Just what I needed he made me look beautiful on my wedding day, he did hair and makeup and lashes. God bless him! Use him, you will not be sorry!

     

    Lessons learned,

    If you get quotes in mexico for things, and do not get a contract people show up and work for you. They expect to be paid, I got a quote for a mariachi 4 months before my wedding never heard from them again and they showed up to play??!!! WHAT? BE CAREFUL. This is very dangerous.

    The same thing happened for our transport company so we had double shuttles booked without any contracts.

    Hi,

    I am getting married in cabo on april 21 at cabo del sol clubhouse. Myself and my fiance as well as 30 of our guests are staying at the PB pacifica the whole week - it is GORGEOUS! Very new and well taken care of, great service, beautiful beach.

     

    I had a site visit in February and was totally wowed.

     

    Pacifica is the best choice as long as there are no kid involved.

    Hi Christine,

    I am happy to help.

     

    I will be in LA Dec 23-26 and I have a wedding in SF on Dec. 29th but other than that will be around in SF.

     

    Another place that is beautiful for a small wedding is Landmark Vineyards, Ginger is the contact there and they can do weddings of 50 people and under and it is reasonable. It is 15 minutes north of Sonoma. You would hire a caterer such as Elaine Bell Catering to do the catering.

     

    Happy holidays!
