Thinking about having your wedding at Hard Rock Los Cabos? With its stunning oceanfront venues, multiple hangout locations, and that “party with a side of glam” vibe you’re looking for, it’s no surprise that this resort is a favorite for destination weddings in Cabo.
But let’s talk about hard numbers! How much will it actually cost?
Here’s your no-fluff guide to pricing for weddings at Hard Rock Los Cabos, based on actual numbers and our real past couple experiences and actual spend.
Wedding Packages at Hard Rock Los Cabos
Hard Rock Los Cabos offers a variety of customizable wedding packages, starting at FREE and up to $8,500, depending on the collection you choose. We recommend starting with the base of the complimentary ceremony and then adding on the wedding package that you prefer, based on the décor and style you’re going for. And if you don’t see what you love in the available preset packages, you can always customize your wedding to exactly what you’re looking for by adding each item à la carte.
So, whether you’re keeping things simple and not adding anything at all, going all out with the most luxe décor, or something a little in between, there’s something for you!

Additional Wedding Costs to Consider

- You can expect to spend $4,300 on their eight-hour photo package.
- Add JJ Studio’s videography services for $2,550 for the six-hour package.
- Combine both photo and video services from JJ Studio and enjoy a slightly lower rate.
- Would you prefer to choose your own photographer? You can do so by paying the outside vendor fee of $1,500 per service plus the vendor’s photography and/or videography rate.
- Floral Arrangements & Décor
- If you want more (or more elaborate) floral setups or specific décor items beyond what’s included in the wedding packages, you should budget an average of an extra $5,000 – $11,000+, depending on how much you want to add. You could spend much less if you’re careful not to add a lot of floral décor.
- DJ & Entertainment
- Expect to spend approximately $2,000 for four hours of DJ services for your reception.
- Want a dance floor? Add a basic dance floor for as little as $1,000 or an LED light-up dance floor for $1,200 – $1,600, depending on your guest count and the size of the dance floor.
