Where minimalism meets emotion, and every detail is deeply personal.

Some weddings are large and full of movement. Others—like Amber and Justin’s Elopement at The Cape—are about being present, slowing down, and truly celebrating what matters. Their elopement in Los Cabos was calm, meaningful, and completely personal.

In this article:

A Day Designed With Intention

Amber and Justin wanted a wedding day that felt peaceful and beautiful from the inside out. They stayed at The Cape, a place they loved for its view, textures, and overall aesthetic. The architecture and design matched their minimal and refined style.

The morning began quietly with breakfast for two, followed by a private yoga session for Amber in her suite. She wanted time to connect with herself before everything started, and that moment of stillness set the tone for the rest of the day.

Hair and makeup were also planned intentionally. Amber did a full trial the day before, so she could feel confident and relaxed on the wedding day. Even in a small celebration, feeling radiant and true to herself was a priority.

This elopement at The Cape was carefully planned. We had short, focused planning calls over several months, reviewing ideas, refining the budget, and building an experience with intention. A detailed timeline ensured structure while allowing for a full presence.

The Ceremony

Their symbolic ceremony took place on a beach next to The Cape. There was no altar or decorative setup —just the ocean, the breeze, and the two of them. A moment that felt intimate and grounded.

Diego Vidal from Los Cabos Minister officiated with warmth and presence. A single violinist played songs chosen by the couple. Amber walked to “Automatic (Kasbo Remix)” by Zhu & AlunaGeorge starting at 1:09. After the vows, “Something Just Like This” by The Chainsmokers & Coldplay played as they walked together.

It was emotional, intentional, and beautifully their own.

The Bouquet

The design embraced minimalism with impact. There was no need for added decor—the natural beauty of Los Cabos was the perfect setting. The light, the sound of the sea, the textures of the landscape—all of it was part of the aesthetic.

Amber’s bouquet was the only floral piece, and it became a central visual element. I designed it using phalaenopsis, cymbidium, and dendrobium orchids, along with lisianthus, roses, and mini mayolica roses. Elegant, soft, and structured—it brought beauty and movement to every scene.

To make it even more special, Justin had arranged a surprise. After the wedding, we delivered the bouquet to Hive at Flora Farms, where it was transformed into a custom perfume. A fragrance they could carry as a living memory of the day.

The Photography Experience

For Amber and Justin, photography wasn’t just part of the day—it shaped the entire experience. They wanted to capture not only how it looked, but how it felt.

They were inspired by the aesthetic of The Cape, characterized by clean architecture, natural materials, shadows and light, and the contrast between structure and nature. The locations they chose for portraits were intentional. Each space highlighted a different mood, tone, or texture.

The team from MC created a visual story that felt cinematic, timeless, and sincere. Their gallery reflects connection, quiet sophistication, and a love for detail.

A Private Dinner at Manta

After the ceremony and portraits, Amber and Justin concluded their day with a private dinner at Manta Restaurant, the signature restaurant by renowned Mexican chef Enrique Olvera. They selected a private area within the restaurant reserved especially for them, offering intimacy and an elevated ambiance.

The décor was elegant and intimate—candlelight, thoughtful table styling, and natural tones that complemented the atmosphere of the day. The ambiance was understated and elevated: candlelight, a champagne fountain, and a beautifully set table for two.

The dinner kept the same feeling as the rest of the day—intentional and calm. They had their own private space within Manta, surrounded by soft lighting, elegant touches, and a setting that felt completely theirs.

Every part of the dinner was personal. Nothing felt rushed or scripted. Just the two of them, enjoying each other’s company, surrounded by design and atmosphere that reflected the essence of their celebration.

A Wedding That Felt Like Them

This was a fully personalized celebration—crafted with care, emotion, and clarity. Every choice reflected who they are and what they value.

Amber and Justin created space for what matters: connection, intention, and beauty. And we were honored to help bring that vision to life.

Minimal. Impactful. Exactly as they imagined it.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Choosing Fatima and her team for our Cabo wedding celebration was the best decision we could have made. Her communication, thoroughness, and wonderful personality made planning our event a joy, and removed a lot of the planning stress! She always had great ideas and solutions to problems that arose and anticipated any problems that could have occurred. I appreciated her honest thoughts and professionalism through all the process. She made sure to work around our busy schedules, and her and her team have truly become our friends to this day. Our event was more beautiful than I could ever imagine!! I would recommend Momentos to anyone planning any sort of event, you will not be disappointed!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We worked with Fatima to plan our wedding in San José del Cabo in April this year. She helped us with everything, from organizing the room block to coordinating the rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony, and party. We truly had the time of our lives and didn’t have to worry about a single thing. From the music to the food, every detail was perfect, and Fatima’s team handled all the logistics so we could fully be present and enjoy our celebration. It was the best weekend of our lives.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the most incredible experience working with our wedding coordinator Fatima, for our vow renewal ceremony in Cabo. From the very beginning, she was organized, responsive, and truly understood our vision for a beautiful beach celebration.

Every single detail was handled seamlessly—from vendor coordination to décor, timelines, and even last-minute adjustments. She made the entire process completely stress-free, which allowed us to fully enjoy time with our family and friends.

On the day of the event, everything came together flawlessly. It was truly a perfect event—beautifully set up, perfectly timed, and executed with such care and precision. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing.

If you’re planning a destination or beach ceremony, I highly recommend her. She goes above and beyond and genuinely cares about making your event unforgettable. We are so grateful for everything she did.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you are looking for wedding planners in Cabo, look no further! Ivet, Fatima and everyone at Momentos made our dream wedding come true, and they made the planning process a breeze. They know the venues, they know the vendors, and they were such a tremendous team to have in our corner during planning and on wedding day. We got so much kind feedback from our friends and family about how smoothly not only the wedding went, but the entire week.

Ivet is an absolute rockstar. We were fortunate enough to travel to Cabo early for 2 site visits, both of which Ivet accompanied us on. She answered all of our questions, made helpful suggestions, and thoroughly walked us through all of our options allowing us to always make informed decisions. During planning & design meetings, Ivet was always so helpful when we needed any guidance. She was also kind enough to provide some insight and guidance for an event we decided to plan with our friends and family the day after our wedding. We had monthly zoom meetings to check in, and Ivet was always so prepared with our meeting topics. The online planning tool Momentos uses makes planning and budgeting so easy, and Ivet did an amazing job of always being conscious of our budget. They provide a VERY detailed checklist from 12+ months up to day-of with tasks you would never even think of, and I absolutely loved having that available. Seeing our visions for the pre-wedding events and the wedding day come to life brought tears to my eyes because Ivet and Fatima made everything more stunning than I could have even imagined. Seeing over a year of planning come to fruition was a crazy, unforgettable experience, and I am confident that it wouldn’t have been possible without the Momentos team.

Ivet and Fatima and everyone on their team truly go above and beyond for their couples, and you can tell. I never felt stressed on our wedding day, or during any of our wedding events, because their whole team is so incredibly prepared and detail oriented. Planning a destination wedding can be challenging and stressful at times, but having a top-tier planning team at your side makes a world of difference! Our friends and family had the most magical time and already want to go back! We love the Momentos team! 💕

Our wedding was May 23, 2025 at ACRE. I’ve been stalling writing this review because I want to keep this amazing team all to myself- but I can’t and people deserve the same memorable experience we had so here it is!

From the very first consultation, Fatima made us feel at ease. She was transparent, listened carefully to our vision and immediately came up with thoughtful, creative ideas to bring it all to life- all with being considerate of our budget (which when planning a wedding is obviously a main focus, right?). Planning a wedding is a lot- planning a destination wedding adds a little extra layer of challenges but we felt none of that with this team. We are based in southern California, our hotel block was at Hilton Los Cabos and our wedding venue was the outstanding ACRE. From day one Fatima was incredibly organized and on it. The planning platform used (Aisle Planner) is a Type-A person's dream come true (like myself); it allows you to keep track of timelines, budget/payments, visions boards, guests/seating, etc. The checklists and reminders were life-savers and Fatima always seemed to be three steps ahead. It truly is a tool that assists in making the entire planning process smooth.

What truly stood out was how much heart Fatima puts into her work and passion for her clients. She also has excellent relationships with vendors she worked with for our wedding- which I think says a lot about her reputation and work ethic. She was always accessible, calm and patient. My husband and I had a “non-traditional” wedding; we had no wedding party/family-oriented customs; Fatima always reassured me whenever stress started creeping in, and always made me/us feel supported and cared for.

Not only did Fatima and the team at Momentos plan our wedding, the team assisted in organizing welcome drinks at the Hilton Los Cabos the night before the wedding as well as cabanas for the recovery pool day after. On the wedding day, everything ran flawlessly—we were able to relax and truly enjoy every moment knowing Fatima and Iveta had everything under control. Everything just flowed. It was effortless. Our team  handled every detail behind the scenes so that we could be fully present and just enjoy the moment with our guests on our special day. It felt like having a trusted friend by our side every step of the way.

We are forever grateful for everything they did to make our wedding such a joyful, stress-free, and unforgettable experience. If you’re looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond, book Momentos. Our incredible photographer, Frank Tesisteco and excellent content creator, Indra (EverAfter) - all of the above goes to you also. Our day wouldn't have been complete without your talent, skill and eye for cherished moments.

We are forever grateful and cannot recommend them enough.

With love and gratitude,
Frank & Christina

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are forever grateful for Ivet and Momentos bringing our daughter’s wedding vision to life for a flawless evening! The wedding was beyond our wildest hopes and dreams, as well as the night before dinner and welcome party on the beach! Your connections to amazing vendors was fantastic! We had not a single care in the world with Momentos overseeing every single detail, except to enjoy it all! It was everything we dreamed! A heartfelt thank you to dear Ivet & the entire Momentos team! You are without a doubt, the best in the business!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I wish we could give ten stars to Momentos - their team is the best in the business. I am not sure where to start, we truly had such an amazing experience working with Momentos planning our dream wedding in Cabo. The work they showcased on their social media is initially what drew us to their services and then from the moment we met Ivet and Fatima, they had such amazing energy. I can’t imagine going through the process of planning a wedding in Cabo without the Momentos team! We worked closely with Ivet for a little over a year and she helped us bring our dream wedding to life. The creativity, organization, professionalism, and relationships Ivet has with vendors in Cabo are invaluable. Ivet brought our vision for each wedding event to life - but she somehow made everything even more beautiful than what we could have imagined. Ivet makes her clients feel taken care of at all times and despite her busy schedule, she makes you feel like her only client. Her kindness and positivity is contagious. Planning a wedding (let alone a wedding in another country) felt overwhelming to us before we found Momentos, but Ivet and the Momentos team made the entire process enjoyable and manageable for us. We had the opportunity to meet frequently via zoom, exchange texts often, and we also went to visit in Cabo during the planning process. Our trip was the first glimpse at the relationships and magic Momentos was working for us. Fast forward to our wedding weekend - we were once again blown away by Ivet, Fatima and the entire team at Momentos. They took care of every single detail so we could truly just enjoy the wedding weekend! There was not a single item Ivet didn’t handle for us that week. Ivet stays calm, cool, and collected at all times and you can 100% trust her. On the night of our first wedding weekend event, the rehearsal dinner and welcome party, we got our first glimpse of the magic Momentos created in real life! The flowers, decor, and every single detail blew us (and our guests) away. On wedding day, it was no different! We were brought to tears with the magic they created for us. During the wedding day, their team was with us the entire day and night making sure we were staying on schedule and had everything we could need. In true Momentos fashion - they went above and beyond with this tending to our every need. We were so impressed with everything they managed behind the scenes and how much they coordinated. I am still speechless about how our vision came to life and the team we had behind us to make it all happen!

Looking back on the whole process, I can say with confidence our wedding wouldn’t have been what it was without the Momentos team. We are endlessly grateful for the magic they created for us and how fun & seamless they made the entire process! Not only that, but we have gained friends for life in their team and we are going to miss Ivet so much. If you are planning a destination wedding, I assure you that Momentos is the team you need. There aren’t enough words to express our gratitude to Ivet, Fatima, and the entire team at Momentos. We highly recommend Momentos to any couple starting their wedding planning journey. Look no further than Momentos, you will not regret it!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We met planners from all over the country while planning our destination wedding — but Fatima and Saray from Momentos Weddings? They were something different. From the very first conversation, we didn’t just feel taken care of — we felt seen. They didn’t just listen to our vision — they amplified it. Every detail, every moment, every surprise… they made magic happen.

Fatima has connections everywhere in Cabo — but more importantly, she has heart. She found things we didn’t even know were possible: a private yacht party, a sunset dinner at El Arco that felt like a movie, and even handled hotel coordination like a boss. She worked with us personally, as the owner of the company, never handing us off — and she planned our wedding like we were family. Like it was her own child’s.

I won’t speak on every planner out there, but I will say this: if you’re planning a wedding in Mexico and don’t choose Fatima, you’re missing out on someone who lives and breathes this work — not for the optics, but for the love. She may not look like the other planners with the trendy Instagram feeds, but trust me — you want the planner who actually makes it happen. That’s Fatima. That’s Saray. That’s Momentos.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would love to thank Momentos and most importantly my planner, Ivet for creating the most magical day our lives! Words cannot explain how thankful I am to have worked with Ivet and how easy she made planning a wedding in another country. When friends and family would ask am I stressed out about the wedding, I would say absolutely not because the process was so smooth and I had complete trust in Ivet on making our dreams come true. Ivet dealt with vendors on our behalf, listened to our needs and wants, and was always attentive and responsive. We stayed in communication constantly regarding budget, seating arrangements (which were made easy by Momentos planning website) and vendor choices. I would always ask Ivet for her opinion and I knew I can trust her because she is spectacular at what she does! The wedding day was organized to perfection and Ivet made sure everything was running smoothly. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to the Momentos team for a beautiful night that will never be forgotten, we will miss working with you but we cannot wait to see the magic you continue to create 🤍 - Viktorija and Jacob
