Beneath the vibrant tapestry of a Cabo sunset, Calla and Richard wove their love story into a weekend of laughter, shared experiences, and unforgettable memories. This wasn't just a wedding; it was a celebration of family, a chance to truly connect with loved ones, and a testament to the couple's deep connection.

Calla and Richard from El Segundo, California wanted a destination wedding because they had friends and family coming from all over the world. They opted for an oceanfront wedding at the luxurious Chileno Bay Resort so that their guests can enjoy their vacation by swimming in the beach, unwinding in a private poolside bungalow, or exploring nearby landmarks.

Relax & UnwinD

From the very beginning, the focus was on quality time, and spending time together. The couple wanted everybody to forget the rigid schedules and stuffy formalities; this was about creating an atmosphere where everyone could unwind, relax, and be present.

The weekend started with a fun-filled golf tournament hosted by Richard, a passionate golfer who couldn't resist sharing his love for the game with his closest friends and family. It was time well spent on the green as the men’s competitive spirit mingled with camaraderie, setting the perfect tone for the days to come.

Then the couple shared their love of Cabo culture and food by hosting a rehearsal dinner at a local Mexican restaurant. It was a fabulous start to an unforgettable weekend.

The Romantic Beach Ceremony

The ceremony was located on the beach and was a vision of understated elegance, reflecting Calla and Richard's love for simplicity. Soft white and neutral colors dominated the setting, allowing the breathtaking natural beauty of the beach and ocean to take center stage. The ceremony resonated with everyone present, a testament to the genuine connection between these two soulmates.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, the mood shifted from solemn to sultry. The resort’s Gallerias Terrace was the backdrop for the reception. Black accents and flickering candles created a dramatic yet cozy ambiance, perfect for enjoying the feast in each other's company. Everybody laughed and celebrated together, creating memories that would forever be remembered in their hearts.

The Gallerias itself was a vibrant scene. Decorators arranged lush greenery draped on the roof, twinkling lights cast a magical spell, and the heart of the party – the music – was the main focus of the fun. Guests sipped handcrafted cocktails and enjoyed the company and music all night. The organizers did a good job creating an atmosphere where everyone felt loved, appreciated, and part of something truly special.

Calla and Richard’s Thoughts

The couple requested that the details and decor for their wedding and ceremony be kept simple so that everybody could focus on spending time together, enjoying their vacation, eating great food, and focusing on Cabo’s amazing cuisine, culture and landscape.

“We love the natural beauty and fun culture of Los Cabos, and couldn't have dreamed of a more gorgeous location to host our wedding events. We had guests coming in from all over the world, and we really wanted to make sure that we showcased Cabo's beauty by delivering three unique experiences so they got the full flavor of Cabo while celebrating with us. It goes without saying that Vivid Occasions were the best partners to help us bring our ambitious vision to life!”, said the happy couple.”
