There’s something wildly romantic about exchanging vows with your toes in the sand, the sun setting over the Pacific, and the ocean breeze whispering through palm trees. For couples seeking something more exclusive and unforgettable than a traditional ballroom wedding, Cabo San Lucas offers the ultimate setting for a beach destination wedding that blends luxury, adventure, and intimacy.
But not just anywhere in Cabo, if you’re planning to say “I do” with style, sophistication, and seamless service, you need more than a location… you need a villa experience that elevates the entire celebration.
Welcome to the art of planning a dream beach destination wedding in Cabo, where luxury is personal, service is intuitive, and your backdrop is straight out of a magazine spread.
Choose the Right Time of Year
Cabo’s year-round sunshine is a major draw, but the best time to travel to Cabo San Lucas for a wedding is between November and May. These months offer the most pleasant weather and minimal rain, perfect for outdoor ceremonies and late-night receptions under the stars.
Book a Private Luxury Villa (Not a Resort)
While luxury resorts are plentiful in Cabo, they can feel crowded and impersonal, not ideal for a once-in-a-lifetime moment. A private villa, on the other hand, gives you the freedom to design your wedding exactly how you envision it. Think custom décor, late-night parties without curfews, and complete privacy.
Let’s look at three of the most extraordinary cabo wedding villas, designed for hosting elite weddings in style.
Villa Vegas Dave 1: Elevated Elegance Steps from the Action
If your vision includes breathtaking ocean views, an intimate setting, and walking access to downtown Cabo, Villa Vegas Dave 1 delivers on every front. Perched in Pedregal, this 7-bedroom villa sleeps up to 28 and combines classic Baja beauty with upscale finishes.
Ceremonies here feel cinematic, you can say your vows with the Sea of Cortez behind you, then walk just minutes to the marina for post-wedding celebrations or photos. Guests will appreciate the proximity to top restaurants and shopping, and you’ll love having housekeeping and butler service included to keep things effortless.
This villa is ideal for couples seeking a balance of convenience, comfort, and style, whether it’s for a sunset wedding, a welcome dinner, or an afterparty poolside.
Villa Vegas Dave 2: Pedregal’s Crown Jewel of Modern Luxury
Right next door is Villa Vegas Dave 2, a 39,800 sq. ft. showstopper known as the “King of Villas in Pedregal.” If you’re planning a large celebration with all the bells and whistles, this is where your dream takes shape.
With 11 bedrooms, Cabo’s largest private pool, and stunning architectural elements (yes, it has a $250,000 glass LED walkway and private elevator), it’s made for couples who want to wow their guests. The layout offers multiple ceremony and reception areas, both indoor and al fresco, giving you flexibility without sacrificing elegance.

You’ll have full staff including a private chef, and you’ll be in good company, this villa has hosted A-listers, athletes, and luxury lovers alike. It’s where the big moments happen, and the memories last forever.
Personalize Your Ceremony
Cabo’s natural beauty does most of the heavy lifting, but small, thoughtful touches will make your ceremony feel deeply personal. Consider a barefoot altar setup on the sand, or a floral arch positioned in front of the sea. Some couples opt for bilingual officiants or symbolic ceremonies to keep it simple and meaningful.
Curate a Show-Stopping Reception
The magic of a villa reception? Freedom. No preset menus, no music cutoffs. Bring in a local chef to craft a Mexican fusion tasting menu, hang lights over the pool deck, hire a live band or DJ, and turn your villa into an unforgettable celebration space. Each of the Vegas Dave villas offers open layouts, sprawling outdoor areas, and oceanfront ambiance ideal for dancing into the night.
Treat Guests to Cabo’s Local Flavor
Destination weddings double as mini-vacations for your guests. Treat them to an authentic Cabo experience with tequila tastings, fresh Baja seafood, or a beach bonfire night. Incorporate local art, textiles, or mariachi music into the events, it’s a celebration, but also a cultural immersion.
Plan Pre-Wedding Activities & Excursions
Think beyond the wedding day: sunset yacht cruises, ATV rides through the desert, spa treatments at your villa, or a private chef brunch the day after the wedding. Guests love having options, and Cabo delivers with endless opportunities to turn your wedding into a long weekend getaway.
Make Room for Your Favorite People
A major perk of villa weddings? Your guests can stay right on property. Villa Vegas Dave 1, 2, and 3 offer enough space to house entire bridal parties or families, giving you more time to connect and celebrate. For larger groups, booking neighboring villas is a seamless option.
Know the Legal Details
If you want your marriage to be legally recognized back home, you’ll need to follow Mexico’s civil ceremony rules, including a blood test and some paperwork. Many couples opt for a symbolic ceremony in Cabo and handle the legal portion at home to keep things stress-free.
Capture the Moment, Beautifully
Your villa wedding deserves to be documented by professionals who understand the light, the space, and the magic of Cabo. Invest in a photographer and videographer who specialize in destination weddings and take full advantage of the stunning villa backdrops and oceanfront golden hour.
