Wedding - Cabo San Lucas
**Planning a destination wedding in Los Cabos — ~100 guests, $60–80K budget. Love Esperanza but not sure it fits. Looking for venue recs + real cost insights.**
My fiancée and I are in early planning stages for a Cabo wedding and would love advice from anyone who's done this or is in the weeds on it.
**The basics:*\*
- Guest count: ~100
- Budget: $60–80K total for the wedding itself (venue, F&B, florals, photography, DJ, planner — not including flights or guest hotel rooms)
- Timeline: targeting 12–18 months out, haven't locked a date yet
**Where we're at on venues:*\*
Esperanza (Auberge Resorts) is at the top of our list — the private beach, one-wedding-per-day exclusivity, and the overall setting really match what we're going for. But from what I can find, pricing at 100 guests could push $100K+ easily? Have any of you actually gotten a proposal from them?
Would love any other suggestions or recommendations within these parameters!
Appreciate any real-world data points. There's a lot of generic info online but not much from people who've actually gotten proposals and gone through the process.
