Viceroy Los Cabos Wedding
Anyone who's experienced the Viceroy Los Cabos in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico, understands why couples keep choosing it for their destination weddings. The stark white buildings, designed by Miguel Ángel Aragonés, create a dramatic contrast against the reflection pools and the endless blue of the Sea of Cortez. It’s a photographer's dream. The best part? This slice of Mexican paradise is just a quick flight from most major US cities. Our clients rave about the perfect combination of Mexican luxury and convenient travel, making it an ideal choice for our couples who want a destination wedding without overwhelming their loved ones with complicated planning.
The Architectural Marvel of Viceroy Los Cabos
The Viceroy Los Cabos stands as a testament to contemporary Mexican design, crafted by renowned architect Miguel Ángel Aragonés. His minimalist approach creates clean lines and geometric forms that seem to emerge naturally from the desert landscape. The hotel's signature white concrete structures reflect the bright Baja California sun, while strategically placed water features mirror the sky and surrounding architecture. This thoughtful design philosophy extends throughout the property, creating countless opportunities for stunning wedding photography against backdrops that feel both modern and ethereal.
Stunning Wedding Ceremony Locations
The Viceroy Los Cabos offers several distinctive locations for different parts of the wedding day. We have photographed ceremonies on the beach next to the adult pool and little Nest. It’s a stunning and intimate location that is gently complemented by the sound of crashing waves. We have also seen gorgeous ceremonies on the main pool deck. Surrounded by the iconic architecture and infinity pools, this is a surreal and breathtaking spot for guest to gather for your vows.
The Iconic Nido: A Cocktail Hour Like No Other
Between ceremony and reception, couples typically gather their guests at Nido for cocktail hour. This nest-like structure in the middle of the property is simply incredible. Pictures don’t do it justice. Surrounded by water, its woven basket design creating interesting patterns of light and shadow as the day moves toward evening. It's a once-in-a-lifetime place for guests to get to know each other before your reception. The architectural marvel appears to float on water, accessible by walkways that add to the magical experience. As the golden hour approaches, the interplay of light filtering through the woven structure creates an almost ethereal atmosphere.
Reception Venues for Every Guest Count
For receptions, there are two main options. For smaller, intimate weddings, the Cielomar Rooftop is incredible, with breathtaking views of the hotel and ocean below. This elevated space provides panoramic vistas that showcase the dramatic coastline, making sunset dinners particularly spectacular. Couples with larger guest lists often choose Awacate on the ground floor as it is much larger, while still maintaining the unique feel of this amazing hotel. The spacious venue can accommodate elaborate dinner setups while keeping guests connected to the property's signature water features and architectural elements.

Where to Stay and What to Explore in San Jose del Cabo
While many couples and their guests choose to stay at the Viceroy itself, San Jose del Cabo offers numerous luxury accommodations nearby. One of our favorite family-friendly options is Cabo Azul, located right next door to the Viceroy. For those seeking a boutique, artsy atmosphere, Acre Resort offers unique treehouse accommodations that create an unforgettable experience.
The dining scene is exceptional, starting right across the street with La Forchetta, our go-to restaurant every time we visit Cabo. Downtown San Jose del Cabo, just ten minutes away and not to be confused with Cabo San Lucas, ranks among our favorite destinations in Mexico. The charming cobblestone streets adorned with colorful flags create a picturesque setting perfect for pre-wedding strolls or post-celebration exploration.
For dining adventures, we recommend La Lupita for authentic Mexican cuisine, Jazmin’s Restaurant where performers entertain guests tableside, and Los Tres Gallos for a memorable, rooftop evening out. Thirty minutes away by taxi, the renowned Flora Farms offers the perfect setting for a leisurely boozy brunch while exploring their beautiful grounds—an ideal activity for wedding parties looking to extend their celebration.
