Hello all, Just wondering if anyone has ever tried booking a wedding location on the beach that wasn't affiliated with a big property.

My name is Joe, and my fiancee and I are looking forward to a small wedding (<20 guests) on 11/6/10 in Cabo. I posted some questions on the Cabo forum, but wanted to post a quick hello to everyone. =).

Hello all, My name is Joe, and I'm the nervous groom. We've settled on a date (11/6/10), and a destination (Cabo). We're having a pretty small wedding with a projected 16-18 guests (including kids). We are planning on having a fairly casual symbolic ceremony (simple, short, and non-religious) and getting legally married when we get back home. I need some advice on a few important decisions. We were hoping to avoid the huge mega-resorts, but would still like to be on the beach if possible. There are going to be two families with young children, and suites with some sort of kitchenette might be nice (although the families could stay separate from the rest of us). We were thinking about Marbella Suites en la Playa, as they seem to fit our needs and have favorable reviews on tripdavisor. They would be able to accomodate us, but already have a wedding booked for that date. So I'm wondering if it would be crazy to still stay there, but arrange for a ceremony elsewhere on the beach. Any suggestions for nice alternative lodging that would meet our needs would also be welcome. I'd also like to see how people feel about hiring a wedding coordinator, especially since we're hoping to do something fairly simple. I'm guessing that we'll lean toward just getting one to help make sure everything goes smoothly, and we'll probably get an officiant and photographer as well. Thanks
