What is included in the wedding packages at Hard Rock Los Cabos?
Hard Rock Los Cabos offers a variety of wedding packages to fit every style and guest count – from simple (just the basics) to over-the-top.
Many couples like to start with the Complimentary Wedding Package, which includes essentials like a wedding ceremony setup, bouquet and boutonniere, sparkling wine toast, and a wedding coordinator—all at no cost when booking the qualifying number of rooms – and then add the items they’d like from there. Or couples can choose more customized experiences like the Lavish Daydream, Tropical Paradise, or even celebrity-inspired collections featuring unique décor, live entertainment, and gourmet food and beverage options.
The beauty of Hard Rock’s wedding program is that you can start with a base and then tailor it to your style. Want a mariachi band for your cocktail hour? Done. Prefer a boho beach setup instead of the classic white gazebo? You got it.

Does Hard Rock Los Cabos include all the vendors we’ll need for our wedding day?
The resort has a curated list of preferred vendors, and many couples are happy with the convenience of using in-house options. That said, if you’re looking for more customized or high-end services, you may decide to supplement with a few trusted outside professionals.
What if we don’t want to use the in-house vendors that Hard Rock Los Cabos requires?
If you prefer not to use the in-house vendors at Hard Rock Los Cabos, there will be an Outside Vendor Fee of $1,500 USD per vendor, per service, and per day.

The outside vendor fee can be waived if you choose to bring a third-party vendor and have them stay on the property for a minimum of three nights. All vendor staff must have an individual reservation under their name.
Please note that even if the vendor stays on property, a $1,500 Vendor Supervision Fee and a $500,000 Insurance Policy will still be required for any vendors providing audiovisual services, bringing their own DJ equipment, or installing heavy-duty materials (such as trussing structures, tents, or hanging fabrics).
