Kmk2016- the contact info I have is: ARIADNA RUIZ Wedding Cooordinator / Coordinadora de Bodas Paseo Malecon s/n. Lote 5 Zona Hotelera, San Jose del Cabo, Baja California Sur, México T +52 (624) 1 63 77 30 ariadna.ruiz@hyatt.com loscabos.ziva.hyatt.com We had 40 people at the wedding. Everything was perfect-the location for the ceremony (gazebo), the cocktail party and the reception. Ariadna was amazing-we got everything we dreamed of and more! I have attached some photos, if you want more, pm me. I have some if the tables set up and more of the gazebo as well. Congratulations!

Oops...that should be "the food was good"! Lol

I just had my wedding yesterday at the Hyatt Ziva (formerly the Barceló Los Cabos) and everything was beyond perfect. The wedding coordinator (Ariadna) was phenomenal, we got everything we requested and more! We had our wedding at the gazebo at sunset, followed by photos on the beach, cocktails at the lagoon area and dinner and dance at the adult pool (very private) and ended the night with fire lanterns on the beach! Hair and makeup was done at the spa at the resort, at first I thought my hair was a bit much, but the girls knew that by the time I went to walk down the aisle it would be perfect. The minister was great. You would have thought he had know. Us for years. He really made the service special! The good was great, the service was great...and all the hard work and planning and stress was totally worth it. I do to know why there aren't more reviews on this resort here, because there have been at least 2 weddings every day since we arrived! There was another wedding going on at almost the same time, and you never would have known...they kept both parties separate and special. If you have any questions, pm me!

We are getting married at the Barceló Los cabos this November. Originally we were going to go to the Riu Palace, but were having problems with the tour operators. So far the planning / booking experience has been pretty good. It takes a couple of days for responses which is fine, because we didn't need to know th answers to our questions immediately! I found at all the other resorts we looked at that we were having a similar experience (except the Melia-they were awesome-gave us all the prices right away, and answered our emails pretty quickly!) they all took a while for responses to emails and all the up charges... And we were in touch with just about every all inclusive resort in Cabo! We have a few friends that have stayed at the Barceló in Cabo and loved it. We had another friend go for a site visit and told us that we HAD to get married there. I think it's so beautiful in Cabo that you can't really go wrong anywhere!

For grooms/groomsmen outfits has anyone tried Tommy Bahama? They have tons of different styles of linen pants, and shirts and a whole wedding line. We are looking at that for my fiancée and groomsmen, I didn't even realize that they had a store at cross iron mills!

Thanks Sarah , we got everything sorted...unfortunately transat and noli were not flying to our destination (which is too bad because I feel transat has the best wedding packages) we were finally able to get 30 seats held with a deposit for 60 days...

Have you tried floral wholesalers? That or retail display stores. You can usually find them for a pretty good price. some smaller plastic manufacturing companies in your area would probably make them for you as well.

I am on a pretty tight budget, and didn't really want to spend a fortune on a dress. I looked at wedding dresses at bridal shows, online, in a million magazines, and had a terrible experience at David's...I ended up buying a dress from a lady on Kijiji. She sells new dresses from her house, and all the dresses are less than $400. I tried on about 6 dresses and found my dream dress! Look on kijiji or pm me and I'll send you her details.

Thanks everyone for the advice! We worked things out an now everyone has 3 months to pay in full!

I'm just wondering if anyone else is going though the same thing with trying to book group packages- we get the group pricing from our TA then all our guests are expected to pay in full within a couple of weeks (before that special pricing expires). They can't put a deposit and pay on a few months. Our wedding isn't for 7 months. If we want to hold seats we can't use the discounted rates. And then all payment has to be in within 6 weeks. Any advice/suggestions-or is this the same experience everyone else is having?

Hi Jessica, Did you find out? I was also wanting to do the wish lanterns and am getting married at the RIU palace in November. Thanks!

If you didn't find an extra dress yet, there is a lady on Kijiji calgary that has brand new dresses all under $300. Most of them are beautiful. She works out of her house, so you have to call and set up an appointment. All her Kijiji ads have the sizes of each style that is available. Davids bridal also has a sale on now, and lots of choice under $300.
