Celebrating at Sunset Da Mona Lisa


"Thank you so much for all that you did for Jess and me. We had such an amazing time and could not have wished for a better wedding. Thank you!! We are really looking forward to getting the photos and video."
-Morley, the groom

BRIDE & GROOM: Jessica & Morley
WEDDING DATE: March 13, 2009
LOCATION: Ceremony & dinner at Sunset Da Mona Lisa, Reception/Dancing upstairs at the DG Lounge, Cabo San Lucas
GUEST COUNT: 24





Just because your guest count may be small, it does not mean you need to sacrifice the dreams you have always had for a fabulous, elegant and romantic wedding. Jessica & Morley had both the intimate ceremony overlooking the famous Arch that they had always dreamed of...and a party location where all of their guests could enjoy themselves all night, dancing and drinking special signature drinks created just for them by the couple in the urban, funky, ultra-hip DG Lounge. This was a very unique and effective way to utilize this location for this size of a wedding.

WEDDING HIGHLIGHTS:

CELEBRATION & VACATION: Jessica & Morley truly showed their appreciation to their guests, making them feel like the celebrities who often come to Cabo. They rented 2 amazing villas in Pedregal where they and their guests could stay (and also provided massages & salon treatments for those who wanted it). They provided a festive Mexican rehearsal dinner, the incredible wedding & reception, and a sunset cruise for all of their guests for the day after the wedding. It was literally a vacation AND a celebration for all involved.




DJ: I ran into several of Jessica & Morley's guests the day after the wedding as they were shopping in downtown Cabo. They stopped me on the street, told me how much they loved the wedding and especially how awesome the DJ was for the late night party. Perfect music can make a perfect night. Good job, Augustin (my DJ that night!)


MOJITOS: Mango, strawberry & lime. What else needs to be said!
DELICIOUS WEDDING CAKE: Not only gorgeous, but also very tasty!


(The edging on the cake matched the edging on their wedding invitation. So beautiful!)

Sun, Sand & A Mescal Toast: A True Elegant-Rustic Wedding on the Beach

Image
El Pescadero is a little beachfront community about 45 minutes south of the world-famous Cabo San Lucas.  Locals here call it the "Malibu of Cabo" and for good reason.  Dirt roads lead directly to empty, pristine beaches and beautiful villas with rustic palapa roofs directly on the sand. Located on the Pacific ocean, the sun sets right  in front of these villas, dipping behind the horizon.  My bride and groom, Katy and Paul, found out about this paradise while visiting friends who were caretaking in the area. They fell in love with the area and knew immediately that this is where the San Diego couple had to get married! They contacted me, we hit it off, and together we created one of the most unique, special and full-of-love weddings I have had the opportunity to be a part of! (And I've been doing weddings for a long time!)  They rented a private home (and several of the other homes on the bluff for their guests, such as Casa Azul) and we created a ceremony di

I Love Hearing From My Former Brides...

Whenever I am planning a wedding with a bride, we almost always get really close! You can't help but go through such an exciting and intimate time together and not feel really connected! And then the wedding ends, the bride & groom go on their honeymoon, and they begin their Happily Ever After . I miss my brides but feel happy that I have done my part in getting their marriage started on the right foot! But that's what also makes it so special when I hear back from a bride after a few years. I reached out to Traci, this beautiful bride who got married at Casa del Mar a few years ago, to say Happy Birthday to her on Facebook, and got this sweet message back. I'm so happy for her & her growing family! Hi Katie! I think about you often. :) Our wedding literately was one of the most amazing times in my life. And I'm so thankful and grateful for you because without your guidance and experience it wouldn't have been the amazing time it was! As you ca
