FAQ’s about planning a Destination Wedding in times of COVID-19

Planning a Destination Wedding sounds idyllic, but may be challenging given the current health situation we are undergoing globally.

We asked the Wedding Specialists Ileana Campoy, Cynthia Fraga and Erika Quiroz from Solmar Hotels & Resorts to address the most common concerns and frequent questions asked by couples planning a destination wedding in Cabo:


Q. If I have everything set up for my wedding, what happens if I have to postpone my so-longed event?

A. Well, this is one of the most frequent concerns couples have, and at Solmar Hotels & Resorts we are aware of the many unforeseen events that may require plans to be put on hold. And we strive to provide a carefree experience for brides and grooms from the very moment of planning, and this includes our full empathy

That is why we set agreements with external providers who empathize with this vision. Therefore, flexibility is our main motto. And our commercial partners are always more than happy to make arrangements in order to adapt to the new dates.

Some of the unique benefits guests find at our resorts in comparison with other venues, are:

  • There is not a minimum number of booked rooms required.
  • No additional fee for external guests.
  • We offer preferential rates for the bride and groom’s guests, when booking a minimum of 10 suites for 2 nights at any Solmar Group resort of your choice.
  • We customize our services according to our guests and members budget.
  • We only hold one wedding per day.
  • There is a wide range of gastronomic offerings.
  • Every Cabo Wedding package offers the opportunity to select from á la carte services and amenities.

Q. In case I have already made a deposit, is it applied for my new wedding date?

A. Absolutely.  If for any reason your wedding cannot be held on the date planned, we can make arrangements to have the received deposit applied to a new date.


Q. What happens if I have to call off my wedding?

A. In case any unforeseen event occurs that impede your wedding to be held, Solmar Hotels & Resorts will grant a 1-year stay certificate for the amount deposited, to be used in any of our properties.


Q. What are the measures followed by the resorts to ensure our safety and health as well as that of our guests?

A. There are strict protocols adopted by each and every property that is part of Solmar. The staff has undergone an exhaustive training certified by both national and international Health authorities. Seating capacities do not exceed 50%, frequent sanitation procedures have been applied to all areas of the resorts, body temperature is measured at your check-in and in all access points at our restaurants, among many others.

Most of the weddings held within the properties (close to a 60%-70%) are from happy members who have enjoyed their stay and have experienced the impeccable measures taken, first hand. We have even received comments about how secure our guests feel in Cabo, in contrast with their own hometowns.

Q. Some tips or suggestions to plan a stress-free Los Cabos Wedding?

A. We are lucky enough to be a highly air-connected destination with direct flights from important cities within the US, and this naturally relieves some stress out of the planning process. Some of the tips we can share:

Keep your decoration simple.Minimalist style, besides being one of the trendiest decors you can find in high-end magazines and decoration studios, allows you to lessens the number of high contact surfaces —a must-do nowadays.

Opt for local/seasonal flowers.In case you find any inconvenience for holding your wedding on the date planned, you won’t have to worry about this matter. There are beautiful, colorful flowers that are easy to find within the destination, without freight costs, and the need to book in advance.

Rely on a Wedding Specialist.Having the assistance of a Wedding Planner will make the process of selecting, hiring, negotiating and reprogramming issues easier for you. Take into account that a local specialist has an extensive contact book, and they are keen enough to do the task of comparing options, variety, prices and styles for you.

Intimate ceremonies work best. Keep your list of invitees short, selecting your guests according to the connectivity with Los Cabos, and their medical condition. Remember that remote connections work best to share special moments with those you love, without taking any risk.


Great tips for those brides and grooms planning a Destination Wedding in Cabo!
