Pop, pop,fizz, fizz. Whether planning a wedding, corporate event or any type of gathering, a good cocktail party sets the tone. Finding a venue that offers up not just one incredible cocktail space but five ocean front terraces that overlook the gilttering Sea of Cortez? Major win. Be Inspired PR recently hosted an event to show couples how they can host all three celebrations (cocktail party, ceremony and reception) seamlessly at one venue, The Hilton Los Cabos. Three venue spaces, all with sparkly seaside views. The eventful weekend started here at the Black Marlin Terrace with a classic black and white color palette and continued on with a sandy ceremony and reception at the Mio Beach venue space. Mexico is always a good idea.

They say resting beach face is a real thing. It happens when you haven’t been to the ocean in a long time, so save yourself and choose from one of five seaside venue spaces.

The simplicity of the ocean view backdrop is served best with simple color palettes that highlight the epic ocean and resort views. Amy Abbott Events + Dell Cabo Weddings stuck to a classic black and white color palette with fresh pops of greenery and a variety of texture to allow the ocean backdrop to take center stage.
