How to Plan a Los Cabos Elopement
The symbolic-versus-legal decision, the boat to Land's End, the beach permission, and building the day around the desert and the sea. The full sequence, and the part I run.
Couples plan a Cabo elopement and get stuck on the Mexican legal marriage.
Most of the time that is a problem you solve at home, not in Baja.
The first decision is symbolic or legal, and it shapes everything after. Get it right and Cabo is simple.
(Continued on Page 2, Col. 1)
A legal Mexican marriage means the civil registry, translations, and often a blood test. Most destination couples do the legal marriage at home and a symbolic ceremony in Cabo, which frees the ceremony from any administrative constraint. I confirm which path you want first.

The day around desert and sea
The signature is pairing the desert and the ocean: a desert-cliff portrait, a beach ceremony, and, if you want the Arch, a chartered water taxi to Lovers Beach. The whale season adds humpbacks offshore from December to April.
The sequence I run
Confirm the ceremony type first, then the date, then lodging, then flights, then details. Reverse it and the document timeline dictates everything.
My part: as your Elopement Curator I plan the sequence, coordinate the symbolic ceremony, charter the boat, arrange the vendors and permissions, and both photograph and film the day. Twelve years and 240+ couples in, the couples who ran it in order found Cabo effortless.
