Sometimes, inspiration is closer than you think. Designing, imagining, and bringing to life the most beautiful destination weddings is no easy task, but everything flows perfectly when we come across love stories like Darcy and Dwight’s. For them, we created a sophisticated yet relaxed wedding at Monte Cardón in San José del Cabo, a breathtaking venue with spectacular views that captivated the couple and every single guest.
Let us share some of the highlights of this unforgettable celebration.
But first—the Save the Date. Darcy and Dwight visited Los Cabos the summer before their wedding for a Save the Date photoshoot, and we chose Acre Los Agaves as the backdrop. The setting was stunning: lush, architectural, and filled with character. The result? A session that felt straight out of an editorial magazine—refined, aesthetic, and full of intention. It perfectly captured their essence and set the tone for everything that came after.
Planning a Wedding at Monte Cardón
When planning this destination wedding, we found inspiration in Monte Cardon itself. This venue sits at the top of a mountain, offering stunning panoramic views of the beach and the magnificent Cabo sunset. But beyond the beauty of the place, we were also won over by Darcy and Dwight, a couple whose essence made this wedding even more special. Their love for music, surfing and a sophisticated yet laid-back style became the foundation for their wedding day, which we designed with an elegant, natural, and warm atmosphere that made everyone feel at home.
The entire wedding design was built around an on-trend color scheme. Earthy brown tones, combined with neutral shades and sage green, created a timeless yet modern aesthetic. We opted for minimalist décor, allowing the landscape to take center stage. This approach helped us ensure that every detail had a purpose, resulting in a sophisticated floral arrangement and carefully selected tableware that reflected effortless luxury with a chic, understated vibe.
Throughout the process, we focused on highlighting the couple’s personality in every detail. Darcy and Dwight are naturally charismatic, lovers of the outdoors, and passionate about surfing. We made sure that their connection with nature was reflected throughout the entire concept.
From the music selection to the wedding attire, every design choice embraced a casual yet stylish editorial effect that felt effortless. Having a team of experienced professionals who truly understood the aesthetic vision and the logistics of the event was crucial to making everything come together perfectly. And we did it!
The I DO
Darcy and Dwight spent the morning of their wedding getting ready in private villas in Puerto Los Cabos and Laguna Hills, two of the most exclusive accommodations near Monte Cardón. These villas provided the couple and their loved ones with privacy, comfort, and a calm setting to enjoy the start of their special day. It was the perfect atmosphere for calm, intentional moments—just what they needed to start the day feeling present and connected before the celebration began.
Once at Monte Cardón, before the ceremony began, the couple shared a private First Look in one of the venue’s most breathtaking spots. Surrounded by the natural landscape, the sea and desert as their backdrop, this quiet moment felt deeply emotional and personal. It was just the two of them—taking it all in, grounding themselves in what the day was truly about.
Soon after, their bridal party joined them for an editorial-style photo session, taking full advantage of the incredible setting. The light, the textures, and the overall aesthetic came together to create a relaxed yet elevated visual story. These images captured the joy and connection not just between the couple but also with their closest friends, making it a truly memorable part of the day.

The ceremony took place on a scenic terrace that offered a beautiful dual perspective—the ocean in front and the mountains behind. This spot struck a perfect balance between intimacy and drama, allowing guests to feel completely immersed in the natural surroundings while celebrating such a meaningful moment. The design was kept minimal and elegant, with floral details in earthy tones and soft sage that blended seamlessly with the landscape.
The cocktail hour followed at the highest point of Monte Cardón, a panoramic location that offers breathtaking views in every direction. As the sun began to set, the golden light wrapped the entire scene in warmth. Guests enjoyed signature cocktails and Baja-inspired bites while relaxing in a thoughtfully designed lounge setup. It was the perfect transition from ceremony to celebration—elevated, joyful, and completely unforgettable.
Planning a wedding at a remote venue like Monte Cardón comes with unique logistical challenges, but with the right team, every detail came together seamlessly. Every element was thoughtful, every moment intentional—and the result was an unforgettable experience that openly reflected Darcy and Dwight’s style and love story.
The Wedding Weekend Experience
To create the perfect destination wedding experience, we designed a series of fun and immersive moments that extended beyond the wedding day itself.
We kicked things off with a Welcome Party at Sage, a fantastic restaurant that immediately stole our hearts. From the beautifully curated decor to the authentic flavors of Baja cuisine, Sage was the perfect spot for an evening that celebrated local culture and traditions. The restaurant pays tribute to indigenous heritage through its food and overall ambiance, making it an unforgettable experience. Even better? It’s located in San José del Cabo’s Art District, an area filled with vibrant colors, live music, and incredible folklore.
To wrap up the wedding weekend, we planned a post-wedding event at Pescadito Break, a beachside spot where guests could unwind, surf, and soak in the surroundings. This extra event was one of our favorite moments, extending the celebration in a way that felt authentic to the couple’s lifestyle.
Trends We Love
What we adored most about Darcy and Dwight’s wedding at Monte Cardon was that it effortlessly combined trends with a timeless aesthetic. Here are some of the standout details:
• Editorial-style wedding photography: Every shot looked effortlessly chic thanks to a well-curated visual aesthetic, impeccable styling from the couple, and a minimalist yet striking wedding design.
• Timeless wedding décor: A carefully crafted design that transcends trends and remains elegant and classic forever.
• Disco ball accents: A fun, retro touch that added a glamorous yet sophisticated vibe to the celebration.
• Color palette perfection: The combination of neutral shades, sage green, and earthy browns felt fresh, natural, and refined—a perfect match for the setting.
• Minimalist décor: By keeping things simple, every element made an impact without overwhelming the space, allowing Monte Cardón’s natural beauty to shine.
