If there’s one thing we love about destination weddings, it’s the experimentation and the search for locations that become the perfect place to see the beginning of a love story.

Todos Santos is the ideal example of everything that can be built around such a special date, a place in the Baja California peninsula that has become a charming place for couples looking to enjoy the Mexican essence and, at the same time, a fascinating town with many options to create the best experience for you, your partner, and your guests.

So, if you dream of having your wedding in Todos Santos keep reading.

Todos Santos is the best option to have a wedding or elopement in Baja California Sur and best of all, its atmosphere is perfect for relaxed couples who love arts and who are looking for a delicious gastronomic experience.

Celebrating your destination wedding in Todos Santos can be the most fascinating experience in your life.

The best season to celebrate an event in this place is from October to June, months in which you will be able to enjoy extraordinary weather and an endless number of activities to complement the experience around your wedding.

Remember that the most important thing in the planning of that special day also has to do with the happenings before or after the wedding, so it is vital not only to find a charming wedding venue that goes with the style of your event but also spaces or hot spots that are part of that experience. This will not only make your wedding day perfect, but also make everyone remember it as a trip full of memories, incredible touristic sites, sunsets, and very emotional experiences.

Where is Todos Santos?

Todos Santos is on Mexico’s Baja Peninsula, the land immediately south of the United States and separated from mainland Mexico by the Sea of Cortez.

It is located in the municipality of La Paz, Baja California Sur state, about 2 miles away from the Pacific Ocean. Designated by the Mexican government as a “pueblo magico” (Magic village), Todos Santos is located 50 miles from the city of La Paz and 53 miles from the city of Cabo San Lucas, heading to the north. The Tropic of Cancer crosses exactly over Todos Santos.

You reach Todos Santos by flying to the Airport at La Paz or San Jose del Cabo (Los Cabos) and then driving either south or north, respectively, on Highway 19.

Todos Santos and why you should have your wedding here

As expert wedding planners in Baja California, we are interested in giving couples the best options to celebrate their wedding. We love Todos Santos, as it is a magical town with a great artistic offer, besides being an incredibly famous place for its local and international gastronomic proposal. We love that many of the catering companies use local products, which makes responsible consumption an extra ingredient in the atmosphere of your wedding.

On the other hand, the quiet beaches are ideal for walking and enjoying incredible scenery, a fascinating photo session (check out these tips to achieve breathtaking wedding pics), and showing courtesy of those who conquer those magnificent showcases with their surfboards.

We cannot fail to mention that the contrast between the desert and the colorful vibe of its colonial streets is another of the characteristics that make this destination a unique place for weddings.

Among the iconic sites not to be missed if you are having a wedding in Todos Santos are Hotel California, Plaza de las Armas, Cerritos Surf Beach, and Pescadero. These spaces have the best atmosphere for you and your guests to enjoy different experiences with the tropical and folkloric charm of this magical town.

4 amazing and trendy wedding venues in Todos Santos, Mexico

Although Todos Santos has incredible spaces to celebrate a wedding in Baja California Sur, the next four venues are some of our favorites.

Hotel San Cristobal: a venue with magnificent views

To have an extraordinary wedding, this hotel is one of the best venues you will find in Todos Santos, a space where the best memories will be made. In addition to having spectacular views of the destination, the venue has a chapel inside the hotel that you can use for an intimate ceremony, whether religious or not. It has a capacity for 80 guests, making it an excellent option to say I do!

The beach is one of our favorite spots. It is surrounded by the majesty of the Pacific Ocean and is one of the places that will captivate the attention of all your guests. At Hotel San Cristobal you can celebrate private dinners, bonfires prior to the wedding day, and dream ceremonies facing the sea. The capacity is up to 130 guests.

El Mirador (an open-air terrace) is over the Pool Bar and has one of the most wonderful views of the destination. Hotel San Cristóbal has become one of the best venues in Todos Santos due to the versatility of spaces like this one, as well as the design and happenings that you can create to make your wedding weekend memorable from start to finish.

Of course, you don’t want to miss the Plaza, a space that is located in front of the chapel and Benno Restaurant. It is surrounded by beautiful gardens and will be an incredible setting for you and your guests to enjoy a unique and very elegant rehearsal dinner. Everything is accompanied by the cool vibe of Todos Santos.

For the day after the wedding, nothing better than brunch by the pool. This place is available if the full rent of the property is made, but totally worth it. Enjoying the sunset in such a space is priceless!

We love Hotel San Cristobal for couples seeking adventure and fun, but who also enjoy a concept of luxury and majestic settings for their wedding. The contact with nature is precious, and its design is a fascinating invitation to discover the best of Mexico and its culture.

    Hi there! My fiance and I are thinking about a Baja wedding (we just got engaged, and don’t have a date in mind yet). We are thinking we will have ~150 guests and our budget is ~$50k. Would love to hear your thoughts and ideas and where we might start looking at venues in Todos Santos!

    Thank you!
