Wedding Packages at Hilton Los Cabos (What They Typically Include)
Most all-inclusive destination weddings run through a set of package tiers (often with names like Weddings in Paradise, Eternal Love, and Beyond Memorable) that can be customized with upgrades for décor, florals, private events, and additional guests.
Common inclusions (base tiers)
- On-site wedding coordination + planning support
- Symbolic ceremony setup (venue + seating + basic décor)
- Wedding cake + sparkling wine toast
- Bouquet + boutonniere (often included in entry packages)
- Private events can be added (cocktail hour, reception, rehearsal dinner)
Tip: At Hilton Los Cabos, venue selection matters as much as décor—choose the location that naturally matches your vibe (beachfront-classic vs. desert-dramatic vs. pool-social) so you don't "buy the vibe" with upgrades.
Upgrades couples actually use
- Reception: DJ, dance floor, upgraded bar, late-night snacks
- Décor: statement arch/florals, aisle styling, lounge furniture
- Food: plated dinner vs. buffet, upgraded menu/wine packages
- Entertainment: specialty performers, mariachi, fire shows
- Photography/video, hair & makeup, spa services
Planning shortcut: Build your day around light and comfort—sunset ceremonies work beautifully on beach/terrace venues, while the Mountain Top Terrace offers unique desert views for an unforgettable ceremony backdrop.

Hilton Los Cabos Wedding Costs: What Actually Changes the Total Price
Destination wedding totals vary widely because they're driven by guest count, private event choices, and upgrades for food, bar, décor, and entertainment. Here are the biggest levers that impact cost the most:
The biggest cost drivers
- Guest count (more people usually means larger private events + more food/beverage)
- Reception style (plated vs. buffet, upgraded menus, specialty bars)
- Venue choice (pool/terrace vs. beach changes setup and logistics)
- Décor + florals (arches, aisle styling, centerpieces, lighting)
- Entertainment (DJ, dance floor, mariachi, performers, late-night add-ons)
Smart "value" moves
- Spend on ceremony focal points (arch + aisle) and keep table décor simpler
- Pick one "hero moment" venue: Mountain Top Terrace for dramatic views or Central Beach for classic beachfront vows
- Use lighting (candles/market lights/uplighting) to elevate reception photos—especially at Palm Pool Terrace
- Choose a venue that already matches your vibe so you don't overpay on décor
