Conferences for up to 300 delegates theatre style, banquets for 250 and beach weddings all fit within Playa Grande Resort & Grand Spa, an all-suite resort on the shore of Cabo San Lucas, at the southern tip of Baja California Sur. Five meeting rooms, four restaurants and a two-story oceanfront spa sit within the resort, a few minutes from downtown.
Seminars and company events
Salón Magno is the main room for conferences and corporate events. It seats 300 theatre style, 250 for a banquet, 110 classroom, 60 in conference layout and 50 in a U-shape, with audiovisual equipment and adaptable seating. Two mid-size rooms suit breakouts or smaller programs: Señora de Loreto, which has natural light, and San Francisco Javier, each taking 80 theatre style and 50 for a banquet. Santiago de las Coras holds 25 theatre style or 18 around a conference table and works for workshops and receptions. A fifth room, Misiones de BCS, is presented for seminars and workshops without a stated capacity. A planning team supports groups from the first enquiry to the event, and the spa and the beach provide options for incentive programs between sessions.
Weddings and receptions
The resort runs a wedding team with dedicated coordinators. Ceremonies can be legal, performed by a judge, or symbolic, performed by a minister, and they often take place on the beach with the ocean as a backdrop, sometimes under a decorated huppa. Packages are named Intimate, Inspiration, Eloping and Vow renewal, and they combine the ceremony with items such as a bouquet, hair or makeup, photography, spa treatments or a private five-course dinner with wine pairing. Larger receptions can use the meeting rooms, with Salón Magno taking 250 for a banquet.

Getting there
The address is Avenida Playa Grande 1, Colonia Centro, Cabo San Lucas. Los Cabos International Airport is the main gateway for international groups, and the marina and downtown are a few minutes away.
