Pop, pop,fizz, fizz. Whether planning a wedding, corporate event or any type of gathering, a good cocktail party sets the tone. Finding a venue that offers up not just one incredible cocktail space but five ocean front terraces that overlook the gilttering Sea of Cortez? Major win. Be Inspired PR recently hosted an event to show couples how they can host all three celebrations (cocktail party, ceremony and reception) seamlessly at one venue, The Hilton Los Cabos. Three venue spaces, all with sparkly seaside views. The eventful weekend started here at the Black Marlin Terrace with a classic black and white color palette and continued on with a sandy ceremony and reception at the Mio Beach venue space. Mexico is always a good idea.

They say resting beach face is a real thing. It happens when you haven’t been to the ocean in a long time, so save yourself and choose from one of five seaside venue spaces. This stunner of a setup took place on the Black Marlin Terrace at the Hilton Los Cabos. The simplicity of the ocean view backdrop is served best with simple color palettes that highlight the epic ocean and resort views. Amy Abbott Events + Dell Cabo Weddings stuck to a classic black and white color palette with fresh pops of greenery and a variety of texture to allow the ocean backdrop to take center stage.
We all know that it's wonderful to get a venue with a view, but add in a terrace that has green turf and you have endless options for decor. Think grassy picnics, floor seating and cozy lounges. Amy Abbott Events and the design team at Del Cabo Weddings created these comfy lounges with accents like basket lanterns, fringed poufs, and plush sofas for intimate spaces for guests to mingle. Grab a cocktail, pull up a seat and practice those resorative breathing rituals.

Champagne Shenanigans are always fun, but resolve to expand your palate with top-notch tequila. Led by Award Winning Executive Chef Mauricio Lopez you will be serving your guests the very best. The resort is a one stop culinary shop. You can decide between a raw sushi bar with fun cocktail pairings or even have a Sotol at your cocktail hour, an authentic tequilaria with top shelf margaritas and rare agave spirits. Bells + Whistles brought in a chic decor moment with their custom bar signage to help guests choose the perfect beverage. Ole!
Trying to source vendors, food and fun from afar can give you the destination wedding planning blues. Fret not, because The Hilton Los Cabos recently unveiled their Wedding Atelier service. This new service connects you with their expert wedding planners who will deliver sample mock-up tables, linens, gift ideas, and stationary. You can still have your designer destination dreams while also being able to focus on the important stuff like your fiancee, your friends, your family and fun.
In addition to the top notch services provided by the new Wedding Altelier at Hilton Los Cabos, you won't have to worry about finding fun things to do for any of your hard to please guests. Picture this. You welcome your guests with a magical cocktail party on the Blue Marlin Terrace to kick of the wedding week. They smile, they laugh, they drink, they feast and finally saunter off to their cozy, comfy guest rooms for a good nights sleep. The next day they head off to the beach club, or lounge by one of the many infinity pools, partake in a a game of golf, whale watching, a spa experience or even a bonfire with s'mores. Your guests will be tickled pink.
Nothing spells lovin' like live music with a side of the sea. The combo of warm balmy air-meets-ocean views-meets-live music, converges to create the most epic event vibes. To add to the ambiance of your event, the resort can coordinate musicians like Smart Music Baja, who brought in a live saxophonist to play jazzy renditions of modern hits. The perfect backdrop to coincide with the tunes of the tides.
Snap, snap, click, click. The glow of the sunset casts the most glorious lighting for photos, not ot mention that sparkling Sea of Cortez. In addition to the beautiful backdrops of mother nature, the terrace is plenty big for fun event installations. As a photo moment for guests, Serendipity created a larger-than-life scroll with vibrant floral prints and the names of all of the vendors that brought this vision to life to create a nod to their expert talents. Tip: This would make an excellent spot for a guest seating chart or photo backdrop.
Face the ocean. Stunning. Turn around, and you will be met with a whitewashed hotel facade that is the perfect nuetral palette. No bad photos here my friends. We all know those resorts with stunning views, but when you turn around you are met with a facade that doesn't make for the prettiest of photos. At The Hilton LosCabos, every which way you turn, you will be met with a stellar view. Aria Vera Floral took full advantage of this nuetral palette and brought in pops of vibrant florals to tie the lounge looks together.
While this wedding cocktail hour with Amy Abbott Events and Del Cabo Weddings was an intimate affair, the Blue Marlin Terrace can accommodate up to 120 guests. The resort also has 264 elegantly appointed guest rooms, providing ample accommodations for last minute guest overflow.
