We also used Guillermo from Casillas Catering and he was fantastic. The food was great, the presentation was great, and he had everything we wanted in terms of table settings and he was very accomodating.

And don't ship any glass. I shipped my centerpeice vases and all but 2 were completely broken. The box I shipped them in looked like they played soccer with it. We packed wedding favors and other misc. stuff in one suitcase that we checked.

What about the el encanto inn in SJD. It's very romantic and like a little oasis right off the town square in San Jose. El Encanto Inn - Hotel & Suites

Our wedding date is March 20th, the thursday before Easter and I am SURE we will be down there with a lot of spring breakers! I'm not too worried I think you will barely even notice as early as the end of Feb.

Has anyone ever rented a villa from the owner in San Jose? We are looking at a villa on the Mayan Palce Golf Course. If anyone has ever used Vacation Rental By Owner ..VRBO® is Vacation Rentals by Owner® Vacation Homes Rentals by Owner, can you share your experience?

Our wedding is 2 months away in San Jose Del Cabo, and we really want to have a margarita and sangria fountain available for our guests. Currently our caterer does not offer this, but is looking into it! Has anyone used one or rented one from anywhere down there? Thanks for any suggestions or helpful information.

I downloaded a PDF with all their rates & services. http://http://www.hiltonloscabos.com/Spa_Menu_2007.pdf maybe this link will help, but it is accessible from the Hilton's main page then on the spa page. Does anyone know when their renovations are to be done?

Does anyone know if there are markets in Cabo or San Jose that have flowers, maybe a farmers market or town square market? I have not ever encountered one while there, but a neighbor of mine who wil be at our wedding offered to do our flowers down there if we found a market, so I thought I would look into it?

Thank you for everyone's input. We were/are fully prepared to pay for everything, but my father offered to help with about half of everything so of course I have included him in everything and asked opinions and such. Thanks everyone

Yes, When we first got engaged and told them of our plans to marry in Cabo, they were really excited. We go every year. And the place we are getting married at actually owe's fiance's dad about $2,000 and he originally mentioned that we could use that for chapel/room reservation, but his wife right in front of us said, "but, that is our money" and we just kind of knew then that they pry weren't going to help. And after that is when they refused to come with us to the place. And since then has made the comments about bride's family paying for everything. Gotta love family!

Sorry I don't know all the abbreviations yet. Both of our parents are divorced and remarried. My fiance's father and stepmother who are very much loaded are not contributing financially at all to the wedding. We have been keeping them in the loop about all of our plans and they're totally fine with everything, but they have made no offer to help financially. While we were all in Cabo last month, we invited them to go with us to reserve our chapel and rooms for the wedding, and they didn't want to go. My question is, then do I still need to ask them their opinion on the invite list? Obviously immediate family is invited so his family will be there, but as far as more distant family and family friends, we are not inviting. We are not certain if we will be having a rehearsal dinner, that decision will be made down the road. But regardless, they have made no offer or hint at paying and have told my fiance that it's the bride's families responsibility. Maybe I'm venting and maybe I'm a bit bitter, but it's not the 19th century, they can help as well, especially when they are quite capable of paying for the wedding 10 times over. Thoughts on the invite list?

Quick quesiton on this topic. We ran into the same problem where to get legally married and decided to do it hear in Chicago with the romantic ceremony in Cabo. But, if you get legally married back here in the states before you leave for Cabo, does it effect your passport information, or any other issues with flying and entering Mexico? Is it best to get legally married before or after Cabo?

We are having a small ceremony in Cabo in March 2008. I think we are inviting about 65 people from all over the country. We live in Chicago and most females that are invited to the wedding do not even live in the area. My thought was instead of having a bridal shower before the wedding since, there would only be about 30 females to invite and only about 15 that live in the area, we would just have a big Party when we got back from Mexico where we would invite more people that we couldn't invite to the wedding. Has anyone experienced this or is everyone doing a bridal shower? Any tips, ideas would be greatly appreciated.
