What type of wedding do you want? Beach? Country Club? Hotel? I got married in Orange County and have been to many weddings in LA and OC. I have vendor recommendations as well. Give me a little more info and I'll try to help! Send me a private message in case I don't make it back to this thread.

My husband and I just got back from our destination wedding in Cabo which is right at the Southern tip of the California Border! We got married on the private beach of Pueblo Bonito Pacifica....ABSOLUTELY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. They are very accomodating & it's a private resort for adults only that is ALL INCLUSIVE. They have 3 other properties also if you have kids or would like a kid friendly resort.

Pueblo Bonito Sunset would be the next recommendation but it's not all inclusive. I have nothing but great things to say about the staff at Pueblo Bonito resorts as they are very helpful. Basically, all you have to do is is show up! Depending on which part of Cabo you are on, it gets chilly at night! Also, the water is pretty cold since it's on the Pacific side of the ocean. They said the water gets a little warmer in like September or October.

What makes Cabo one of the #1 Destination wedding spots is that it only rains about 3-5 days max out of 352 days! The rain usually comes in Sept. but that's it so you don't have to worry about the weather which is a HUGE FACTOR during Hurricane season which runs btwn May-November.

I would contact the resort and they will put you in touch with the wedding coordinator who will keep you on track and organized. All you have to do is show up with your wedding dress.

First you should establish a budget.
Next, regardless of where you have it, it's best to contact and book/secure the venue which is the hard part!

Best of luck!

There are cruises out of San Diego and Long Beach. You could get married on the ship.

If you get a group of 10 or more cabins together, you can get real good prices.

I hope marriage is as good for you as it has been to me.

Good luck to you and yours.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! May you have many happy years together...

It's been years since I've lived in Los Angeles....this is the first place I thought of - the Queen Mary...

Also keep in mind the cost of attending a destination wedding - while it's not overseas or at a tropical location - there are certain places that have a higher airfare cost...so keep that in mind when inviting people!! :)
