Wedding Packages at Paradisus Los Cabos (What They Typically Include)
Most all-inclusive destination weddings run through a set of package tiers (often with names like Weddings in Paradise, Eternal Love, and Beyond Memorable) that can be customized with upgrades for décor, florals, private events, and additional guests.
Common inclusions (base tiers)
- On-site wedding coordination + planning support
- Symbolic ceremony setup (venue + seating + basic décor)
- Wedding cake + sparkling wine toast
- Bouquet + boutonniere (often included in entry packages)
- Private events can be added (cocktail hour, reception, rehearsal dinner)
Tip: At Paradisus Los Cabos, venue selection matters as much as décor—choose the location that naturally matches your vibe (beachy-romantic vs. garden-elegant vs. sky bar-modern) so you don't "buy the vibe" with upgrades.
Upgrades couples actually use
- Reception: DJ, dance floor, upgraded bar, late-night snacks
- Décor: statement arch/florals, aisle styling, lounge furniture
- Food: plated dinner vs. buffet, upgraded menu/wine packages
- Entertainment: specialty performers, mariachi bands, show add-ons
- Photography/video, hair & makeup, spa services
Planning shortcut: Build your day around light and comfort—sunset ceremonies work beautifully on the beach/terraces, while the Gran Baja Ballroom is the safest late-night reception option during windier or hotter months.

Paradisus Los Cabos Wedding Costs: What Actually Changes the Total Price
Destination wedding totals vary widely because they're driven by guest count, private event choices, and upgrades for food, bar, décor, and entertainment. Here are the biggest levers that impact cost the most:
The biggest cost drivers
- Guest count (more people usually means larger private events + more food/beverage)
- Reception style (plated vs. buffet, upgraded menus, specialty bars)
- Venue choice (beach/terrace vs. ballroom changes setup and AV needs)
- Décor + florals (arches, aisle styling, centerpieces, lighting)
- Entertainment (DJ, dance floor, mariachi, performers, late-night add-ons)
Smart "value" moves
- Spend on ceremony focal points (arch + aisle) and keep table décor simpler
- Pick one "hero moment" venue: Kanna Beach for classic vows or Gabi Sky Bar for sunset cocktails
- Use lighting (candles/lanterns/uplighting) to elevate reception photos—especially at Central Garden Terrace
- Choose a venue that already matches your vibe so you don't overpay on décor
