The white oceanfront gazebo is the most recognisable image in destination weddings for a reason. It frames the couple, gives the aisle a clear destination, and creates a defined ceremony space on an otherwise open stretch of coast. In Los Cabos, with the Sea of Cortez behind it and desert mountains on either side, it photographs about as well as a destination wedding setting can.
A gazebo also solves a real Baja problem. Los Cabos gets steady afternoon wind, and a structure with a roof and columns holds florals and fabric in place where an open beach setup won’t. It’s the practical middle ground between a bare beach and moving indoors.
Three Los Cabos wedding resorts run dedicated gazebo ceremony venues, all seating 150 to 160 guests. Below are all three. Our Certified Destination Wedding Specialists can help you compare them.
Top Gazebo Destination Wedding Venues at Top Los Cabos Resorts
These three resorts offer dedicated gazebo wedding venues, spread across the Tourist Corridor and San Jose del Cabo.
1. Dreams Los Cabos Suites Golf Resort & Spa
Dreams Los Cabos has the largest gazebo capacity in the region at up to 160 guests, and it’s the classic white oceanfront structure couples picture when they imagine a gazebo ceremony.
The resort also sits on a swimmable stretch of beach, which is genuinely rare in Los Cabos and matters when guests bring children. Family-friendly and all-inclusive, with an on-site golf course for the wedding party.

2. Secrets Puerto Los Cabos Golf & Spa Resort
Secrets Puerto Los Cabos runs a gazebo seating up to 150 on the San Jose del Cabo side, where the water is calmer and the pace noticeably slower than Cabo San Lucas.
Adults-only with two golf courses on site, and the widest venue range of the three: gazebo, Oceana Garden, beachfront, and indoor space, so the ceremony and reception can sit in completely different settings.

3. Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos
Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos has an oceanfront gazebo for up to 150 guests, positioned on one of the few genuinely swimmable beaches in Los Cabos.
Family-friendly and all-inclusive, making it the natural pick for a mixed-age guest list where the kids will be in the water every day, and the ceremony still needs to feel formal.

More Information for Planning Your Gazebo Destination Wedding in Los Cabos
Here’s what our Certified Destination Wedding Specialists tell couples weighing a gazebo ceremony.
Gazebo Destination Wedding Venues Appeal
A gazebo gives the ceremony a focal point. On an open beach, the eye has nowhere to land, and photographs can feel unanchored. A white structure frames the couple, defines where the aisle ends, and gives your florist something to build around.
It handles wind far better than a freestanding arch. Columns and a roof mean draping stays put and arrangements don’t end up across the sand, which in Los Cabos is a genuine consideration rather than a theoretical one.
There’s shade too. A midday or early-afternoon ceremony under a gazebo roof is considerably more comfortable than the same ceremony in full sun, and it keeps the couple out of harsh overhead light.
Los Cabos Destination Wedding Cost
The average cost of a destination wedding in Los Cabos is $11,430 all-in for the couple, covering the wedding package, accommodations, airfare, and add-ons. Hotel costs run about $295 per person per night across a typical five-night stay, and airfare averages $800 per couple. Our Los Cabos couples average 29 guests.
These averages reflect real spend data from couples who booked their destination wedding with our Certified Destination Wedding Specialists.
Gazebo ceremonies are usually the default venue in the base wedding package at these resorts, so they rarely carry an extra fee. Draping and floral treatment for the structure is the main add-on couples choose.
Los Cabos Destination Wedding Packages
Los Cabos resorts offer complimentary and deposit-only wedding packages with a qualifying room block. Entry-tier runs roughly $1,500 to $3,500, covering venue, officiant, basic decor, cake, and toast. Mid-tier lands at $4,000 to $7,000 with private receptions and upgraded florals. Full productions run $8,000 to $22,000 and beyond.
All three of these resorts sit in the Dreams, Secrets, and Hyatt families, so package structures are broadly comparable and easy to weigh side by side.
Los Cabos Destination Wedding Travel Information
Los Cabos International Airport runs direct flights from a long list of US and Canadian cities. Dreams Los Cabos sits in the Tourist Corridor, while Secrets Puerto Los Cabos and Hyatt Ziva are on the San Jose del Cabo side and closest to the airport, at roughly 20 to 30 minutes.
November through May brings the best weather. Time the ceremony about 90 minutes before sunset so the light comes in under the gazebo roof rather than straight down onto it.
Los Cabos Gazebo Destination Wedding Venue FAQs
Which Los Cabos resorts have gazebo wedding venues?
Three wedding resorts offer dedicated gazebo ceremony venues: Dreams Los Cabos Suites Golf Resort & Spa for up to 160 guests, Secrets Puerto Los Cabos for up to 150, and Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos with an oceanfront gazebo for up to 150.
How many guests fit in a Los Cabos gazebo ceremony?
All three seat 150 to 160. The gazebo itself holds the couple and the officiant, with guest seating arranged in front of it, so those numbers refer to the full ceremony setup rather than people inside the structure.
Is a gazebo better than a beach ceremony in Los Cabos?
It’s a good middle ground. You keep the ocean backdrop and open air while gaining a defined focal point, wind resistance, and shade. Beaches suit couples who want nothing between them and the water. Gazebos suit couples who want structure in the frame and fewer weather variables.
