Because some moments deserve more than just a single night.
There’s something magical about proposing during a weekend getaway. The setting is beautiful, the energy is elevated, and you’re surrounded by the people who mean the most. Whether it’s just the two of you or a curated group of loved ones, a proposal weekend in Los Cabos creates space for joy, connection, and memories that last far beyond the ring.
This isn’t just about asking the question. It’s about setting the stage for everything that follows—surprises, laughter, maybe a few happy tears, and a celebration you’ll remember for the rest of your lives.
As planners, we’ve helped turn these moments into full experiences. And if you’re considering involving friends or family in the process, this guide will walk you through how to make it seamless, heartfelt, and completely true to you.
1. Why Make It a Weekend?
Instead of squeezing such an emotional moment into a single evening, turning your proposal into a full weekend gives you time to breathe, enjoy, and fully embrace what it means.
It’s also a great way to:
- Combine romance with celebration.
- Involve family and friends more naturally.
- Create meaningful transitions before and after the proposal.
- Allow for planning moments around different personalities and energy levels.
Additionally, Los Cabos provides the perfect setting, featuring beautiful villas, high-end resorts, oceanfront venues, and unforgettable sunsets.
2. Balancing Surprise with Togetherness
The biggest question with group trips is: how do I keep it a surprise?
We help you find the right balance. Sometimes, only a few trusted people know. Other times, the entire group is in on it and plays a role.
There are ways to:
- Organize a “casual” dinner that turns into a proposal.
- Set up a private moment before rejoining the group.
- Plan a toast or celebration after the big question.
The magic is in the timing—and we’ll help you craft every detail so it flows naturally and feels personal.
3. Ideas for a Thoughtful Weekend Flow
Here’s a sample weekend layout to inspire your planning:
- Day 1: Guests arrive. Welcome cocktails at the villa or rooftop dinner at a scenic restaurant.
- Day 2 (morning): Free time—pool day, spa, golf, or lunch at a local favorite.
- Day 2 (sunset): The proposal! It can be a private moment just for the couple, or include the group in some way—or, the group can join right after for a surprise celebration.
- Day 2 (evening): Celebration dinner or toast with everyone.
- Day 3: Brunch, photo session, or a relaxed boat day to wrap up the weekend.
Each moment can be tailored to the couple’s style, your group dynamic, and the desired level of formality.
4. Locations That Work for Group Proposals
Los Cabos offers a wide range of settings perfect for this kind of weekend:
- Private villas with multiple bedrooms and beautiful terraces—perfect for gathering loved ones in one shared space.
- Luxury resorts that combine privacy, comfort, and curated experiences for groups.
- Restaurants with ocean views that allow for custom dining setups or surprise toasts.
- Yachts or catamarans for private excursions or sunset proposals on the water.
- Secluded beach areas with limited public access, ideal for styled moments at golden hour —without the crowds.
Some of our favorite villas and resorts offer beach access that feels more exclusive, thanks to gated entries or geography that naturally limits outside visitors. These settings create the perfect balance: you’re still on a public beach, but the environment feels intimate and curated just for you.
Whether you’re envisioning something laid-back and organic or a fully styled, high-production proposal —we’ll help you find the right space and transform it into something unforgettable.

5. Styling the Moment for Two (and for the Group)
Just because there are more people involved doesn’t mean you lose intimacy.
We often create a dedicated moment just for the couple—a styled dinner table at the edge of a larger event, a floral circle for the actual proposal, or a photo-ready scene where the guests are watching at a distance.
From minimalist setups to detailed installations, we offer in-house floral and design services, allowing us to build a concept that reflects the emotion of the moment, whether it’s quiet and personal or designed to wow.
6. Should Guests Know? What to Communicate (and What Not To)
Every group is different. Some guests are great with surprises—others, not so much.
We guide you on how to:
- Select who’s in the loop.
- Communicate the itinerary clearly (without giving it away).
- Keep the energy natural.
- Avoid logistical slip-ups (like someone spoiling the surprise too soon!).
The goal is to make it feel relaxed, but seamless—and that takes experience.
7. From the Planner: What It’s Like to Propose During a Group Getaway
Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of planning proposals across Los Cabos—from beaches and rooftops to private spaces within resorts. Some have been total surprises, with the partner having no idea what was about to happen. Others knew something was coming, but not how or when.
In every case, the reaction is the same: joy, emotion, and that unforgettable feeling of “this is really happening.”
Guests love being part of it. Whether they’re watching from a distance or walking into the celebration after the proposal, the energy is unmatched—it becomes one of those stories that everyone talks about long after the trip ends.
As planners, our job is to create a moment that feels effortless and completely authentic to the couple, while making sure everything flows naturally, even when there’s a whole group involved.
8. Advice for the One Planning the Proposal
If you’re traveling with family or friends, it’s natural that others may want to give their input. But the most beautiful proposals we’ve seen happen when the person planning stays connected to what feels right to them—and to their partner.
“My advice is to listen to what others suggest, but stay true to what you want and what your partner would love. At the end of the day, this is your moment. The biggest mistake I’ve seen is trying to please everyone else. Keep the focus on the two of you.”
— Fátima Falcón, Lead Planner
9. A Story We’ll Always Remember
We’ve had the honor of designing many unforgettable proposals in Los Cabos, but one that always stays with us is a weekend where both families traveled together. Everyone knew the proposal was happening—but the bride didn’t know how or when.
What made it special wasn’t just the sunset or the setting. It was the celebration that followed: the joy, the emotion, the way the entire group enveloped the couple in so much love.
“That moment—the one where she says yes, and the groom is filled with happiness—I never get tired of seeing it. It’s emotional. It’s the start of a new love story.”
— Fátima Falcón, Lead Planner
We’ve planned photo sessions, boat days, welcome dinners, post-proposal brunches, and everything in between. But it’s that emotion that always leads the way.
10. The Difference a Professional Planner Makes
Planning a weekend marriage proposal—especially one involving family or friends—requires care, timing, and attention to every detail. Between travel logistics, hotel bookings, dining, décor, timing, and managing emotions, there’s a lot at stake.
