Hola and welcome back from Cabo San Lucas!
In this episode, Kelsey and Robin take you inside a one-of-a-kind FAM trip hosted by CURATE California for a small group of wedding planner members at Chileno Bay Resort and Residences who hosted a spectacular and unmatched 5 star experience that exceeded everyone’s expectations!
With a fantastic team of vendors on their side, Kelsey took to curating two wonderful dinners across the Chileno and Esperanza properties. With that comes the perk of working closely with Del Cabo Weddings and Events owner, Yahwe. We speak with Yahwe today about his love for love, his passion for creating events and his skills for seeing gaps in the wedding industry and mending them with his special talents for rentals, design and aesthetics. We chat all things Cabo San Lucas weddings and learn more about the heart behind Del Cabo Events 20 year anniversary this month! Yahwe’s company spans across rentals, planning and floral with multiple companies under his guidance, Ya Ya Rentals, Aria Vera Floral and Del Cabo Weddings. We can’t wait to return to one of our favorite places, where weddings are flourishing and an industry stronger than ever remains here to back them!
