Los Cabos, with its enchanting beaches, warm climate, and exceptional venues, has become a top wedding destination. To help you create unforgettable memories, we share essential tips on choosing the perfect season, booking in advance, and tailoring your wedding style—all based on CaboStrings’ 10+ years of experience as wedding musicians.
1. Optimal Weather: October to Spring
Los Cabos boasts a warm climate year-round, but the period from October to spring stands out as the most favorable for weddings. Here's why:
Avoiding the Summer Heat: Summers in Los Cabos can be intensely hot, with temperatures exceeding comfort levels for outdoor events. Opting for the cooler months ensures a more enjoyable experience for you and your guests.
Sidestepping the Rainy Season: Late summer and early fall bring occasional rain and the possibility of storms. Scheduling your wedding from October onward minimizes this risk.
Gorgeous Sunsets: Fall and winter months often feature breathtaking sunsets, perfect for wedding photography and creating a magical ambiance.
While hotel and vendor prices may be higher during this peak season, the ideal weather and conditions are well worth the investment.
2. Book in Advance
Los Cabos is a sought-after destination, especially during its peak wedding season. To secure your preferred vendors and venues, follow these tips:
Plan Ahead: Begin your search for venues, musicians, photographers, and other key vendors at least 12 months in advance. Popular options often fill up quickly.
Prioritize Your Essentials: If there's a specific musician, like CaboStrings, or a dream venue you have in mind, make those bookings your first priority.
Stay Flexible: If your ideal date isn't available, consider alternative days of the week to increase your chances of securing your top choices.
3. Tailor Your Wedding Style to the Season
The season you choose for your wedding can influence the overall style and vibe of your celebration.
Warm Months (Summer): Perfect for beach weddings with light, flowing attire and tropical decor. Evening ceremonies are ideal to avoid the heat.
Cooler Months (Fall, Winter, Spring): Great for more traditional settings, such as luxury hotels, ballrooms, or church ceremonies. These months also allow for layered attire and elegant themes.
Selecting the right season ensures your wedding matches your vision and provides a comfortable experience for your guests.
4. Day of the Week: Choose Wisely
The day of your wedding affects costs, availability, and the overall flow of your celebration. Here’s a breakdown of the benefits for each day:
Monday to Thursday:
Savings: Many venues and vendors offer discounts for weekday weddings.
Availability: Less competition means you’re more likely to secure your first-choice vendors and venues.
Relaxed Atmosphere: With fewer crowds, your wedding day feels more intimate and stress-free.
Friday:
Extended Weekend: Guests can use the weekend to relax and enjoy Los Cabos.
Pre-Wedding Events: Host a rehearsal dinner on Thursday to set the tone for your big day.
Saturday:

Higher Costs: Due to high demand, prices for venues and services tend to be steeper.
Sunday:
Intimate and Calm: Ideal for smaller gatherings or more informal celebrations.
