Sixth & Seventh May 2027

JW Marriott Los Cabos Beach Resort & Spa

A note from us

We're getting married on the Sea of Cortés, and we'd rather do it with all of you there than almost anywhere else. Two days, two very different nights. One loud and full of color, one quiet and ceremonial, with a stretch of coastline in between to actually catch up.

This page is where everything will live as it firms up: the room block, the schedule, what to wear, and how to get there. Check back often. We'll keep it current.

The Weekend

Two days, in order.

Events run Thursday and Friday. Most guests arrive Wednesday, May 5 and fly home Saturday, May 8 or later. Details in Travel.

01

Mehendi

Thursday · 6 May 2027

The opening night, and the loudest one. Henna, music, food, and an outdoor amphitheater that runs right into a sunset the color of tequila. Come ready to be on your feet.

Where to Stay

Everything happens at one resort.

Both nights, the ceremony and the reception are all on property. You won't need a car.

JW Marriott Los Cabos Beach Resort & Spa

Puerto Los Cabos · San José del Cabo

The resort sits on the calmer San José side of the corridor rather than the busier Cabo San Lucas end, about twenty minutes from the airport, with the beach, pools and restaurants all in one place.

We're holding a block of rooms for our guests at a group rate. Book through our link so your room counts toward the block and you're on property with everyone else.

Book your room

Our group link is open. It takes you straight to Marriott with the wedding rate applied.

Book your room Booking under our block gets you the group rate and keeps everyone together on property.

Travel & Logistics

Getting there.

Roughly 150 of us are flying in, most from the U.S. Here's the short version of what you need.

SJD

Fly into Los Cabos International

San José del Cabo (SJD) is the only airport you want. Direct flights run from Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Denver and Chicago, among others. Book early. May is high season.

~20 min

Airport to resort

The drive is short and straightforward. Arrange a private transfer in advance rather than sorting it out in the arrivals hall. The resort can book one, and we'll share a recommended service closer to the date.

88° / 68°

May weather

Hot, dry and almost entirely free of rain, with highs near 88°F and evenings in the upper 60s. Sea breeze after sunset, so a light layer for the outdoor events isn't a bad idea.

Passports

You'll need a valid passport to enter Mexico. Check the expiration date now, not in April. Renewals take longer than you think, and six months of validity past your travel date is the safe standard.

Money

The currency is the Mexican peso. Cards are accepted nearly everywhere on the resort and in San José del Cabo, and U.S. dollars are widely taken, though usually at a worse rate. Bring small bills for tipping.

What to pack

Two outfits for the events, plus daytime resort clothes. Reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, and shoes you can stand in for hours. Some of the outdoor spaces are uneven, so thin stiletto heels are a losing battle.

Questions

The things you're about to text us.

When should I arrive and leave?

Plan to arrive Wednesday, May 5 and fly home Saturday, May 8 at the earliest. Events run Thursday and Friday, and you do not want to be landing the afternoon of the Mehendi. Plenty of people are staying through the weekend.

What should I wear?

We'll post dress code details for both nights here as they're finalized. The short version for now: Thursday is bright and festive, Friday is formal.

Are kids invited? Can I bring a plus-one?

Your formal invitation will name everyone included in your party. If you're unsure after it arrives, just ask us directly. Much easier than guessing.

Is the resort all-inclusive?

No. The JW Marriott is a standard resort with several restaurants and bars on property, so meals outside our events are on your own. Our hosted events cover food and drinks for those nights.

Do I need a rental car?

No. Everything happens on the resort grounds. A car is only worth it if you're planning day trips into Cabo San Lucas or the East Cape. Otherwise taxis and transfers handle it.

Is the water safe? What about the food?

The resort's drinking water is purified and the ice is made from it. Stick to bottled or filtered water off property, which is standard advice anywhere in Mexico, and you'll be fine.

What about gifts?

You are flying to Mexico for us. That's the gift. If you'd still like to do something, we'll add registry details here closer to the date.

Who do I ask about everything else?

Reach out to either of us directly. We'll add a dedicated contact here once we have a planner coordinating guest logistics.
