OK --- It's taken awhile for me to post ... but here goes! :)

I'm glad you are having a postive experience with WIP. I thought they were great at first too but after working with them for 4 months the women kept getting harder and harder to deal with, that's when I choose to go with someone else.

 

Maybe they got their act together, it has been over a year since I had any contact with them. I wish you the best of luck in your planning.

Nope - we haven't been to Cabo before ... We just tend to like a little "quieter" places ... from all that I'd read - San Jose was a less developed (but quickly catching up) and offered art galleries, smaller venues, etc. Also - we're at the beginning of Spring Break season, so we were trying to escape that scene (actually, our single friends may be seeking out that scene ...).

 

Is that your experience?

 

Seriously - I want your honest opinion - I know that sometimes "quaint" can equate to "boring" and "historic" can equate to "run-down" ...

 

Thanks for the restaurant and bar recommendations!

 

We know that some of our friends will definitely want to hit Cabo San Lucas nightlife - that's why we've planned some time there ...

Thanks Tammy! I'm so sorry you had such a frustrating experience! This process is supposed to be FUN! I'm also glad that you found someone who worked well for you --- your pictures were wonderful and your wedding was beautiful! Most of all thanks for being so honest --- this forum is truly a godsend --- I feel like I can look anything up and find real answers!

I think the ceremony including children is called the medallion ceremony. Where you give the kids a necklace (or whatever you choose) as a sign of commitment to them as well. Family Medallion® Ceremony Page That is just the 1st site I found. I don't know much about it, but I have heard people doing it.

well its sounds like you have got everything figured out and i am so glad that the forum was able to assist you. i also think its great that the forum has given you a head-up on some of the vendors and i think the way you are handeling your vendors is very smart and i think you will get a good result. i dont have many answers for you since our wedding was at Dreams but if i can help you in an y way let me know

We loved San Jose a lot more than Cabo, but you have to remember this is still Mexico we are talking about. It's definitely quaint and charming, but not super CLEAN or flawless (just a disclaimer -- we still loved it!). I can second the La Panga recommendation ($$$). On Thursdays all the galleries open up and offer free wine -- it's fun to walk around the town browsing at the art. Tropicana has good Mexican food too.

Thank you all for the input! I really appreciate it!

[We've got a bus for round-trip transportation for all of our guests for $330 each day (Thursday and Friday). Even checking independently with groups off this website - this was the best price we were quoted. (Transportation for 35 to 40 people). They are even giving us the option of having vans return back to the hotel since there will be some that will want to stay and go out in Cabo and some that will probably return earlier.

 

Welcome Corey! Wow you've got your planning together. I'm doing a Pez Gato cruise as well. Should be fun!

 

May I ask where you are getting you transportation from? This is a very reasonble price! I wnat to use them!

Hi Amber! We're getting the transportation through my WC - she's with wedding in paradise ... I'm not sure who the company is - I can try to find out ... I'll let you know!

Please do! Thanks!
