Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Wedding Venues & Event Flow Guide

Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach is one of the most searched wedding resorts in Los Cabos — and for good reason. It’s a large-scale resort designed to host multiple weddings at the same time, each with its own flow, space, and guest experience.

The key to planning a successful wedding here isn’t choosing a venue — it’s choosing the right combination of venues and understanding how the day actually moves.

This guide breaks down:

  • how weddings flow at Sunset

  • which venue combinations work best

  • all the main wedding venues by name

  • and why the resort can handle weddings at scale so smoothly

Wedding Venues at Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach

The resort’s size and venue variety are what make these flows possible.

Beach & Garden Venues

  • Beach – ceremonies or receptions directly on the sand

  • Ocean Lawn / Beachfront Garden – elevated garden space overlooking the ocean

  • Sunshine Garden – open lawn ideal for ceremonies or cocktails

  • Lovers Meadow – more secluded lawn for intimate ceremonies

Sky Pool Venues

  • Sky Pool – Lower Terrace – commonly used for cocktail hour or ceremonies

  • Sky Pool – Upper Terrace – iconic reception space with panoramic views

Terraces & Additional Spaces

  • Sunset Deck – elevated terrace with ocean views

  • Moon Terrace – smaller, romantic terrace

  • Swan Terrace – larger open terrace for ceremonies or cocktails


Chapel Ceremony Option at Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach

Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach also offers an on-site chapel, which is an option for couples looking for a formal or religious ceremony setting.

The chapel is typically used for:

  • Catholic or Christian ceremonies

  • Couples who prefer an indoor, traditional space

  • Smaller, more structured ceremonies

After a chapel ceremony, couples usually transition to:

  • Chapel Courtyard for a short cocktail moment, or

  • one of the Sky Pool venues for cocktail hour and reception

From an operational standpoint, the chapel works well when paired with:

  • Sky Pool Lower Terrace (cocktail hour)

  • Sky Pool Upper Terrace (reception)

This keeps the same ceremony → cocktail → reception flow, just starting from an indoor space instead of the beach.

  • Santa Ana Ballroom – indoor reception option or weather backup

Why Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Handles Weddings So Well

I started working with Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach in 2014, back when destination weddings here were far less common. Over the years, I watched both the volume and complexity of weddings grow, and more importantly, how the resort adapted operationally.

During nearly eight years, I worked my way from VIP Front Desk to Guest Services Manager and Manager on Duty, overseeing an average of 3–5 weddings per week.

What makes Sunset different is its internal coordination system.

Each wedding week, the resort holds internal reviews with:

  • the wedding department

  • banquets and food & beverage

  • front desk and reservations

  • transportation and golf cart operations

  • security and logistics

On wedding days, specific golf carts are removed from normal resort operations and assigned exclusively to wedding guest transportation. This keeps guest movement smooth and avoids delays.

Because of the size of the property and the number of venues, the resort can successfully operate up to three weddings on the same day — without events feeling crowded or overlapping — while maintaining strong food and beverage execution.

Why Venue Flow Matters More Than Photos

Couples often choose venues based on photos alone, but at a resort this size, flow matters more than aesthetics.

The right venue combination:

  • keeps guests engaged

  • avoids downtime

  • maximizes sunset timing

  • reduces décor needs

  • improves the overall guest experience

Two weddings at the same resort can feel completely different depending on how the venues are paired.

Final Thoughts

Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach isn’t popular just because it’s beautiful — it’s popular because it’s built to handle destination weddings properly.

When venue combinations, timing, and guest flow are planned intentionally, the result is a seamless wedding experience for both the couple and their guests.

Understanding how the resort works behind the scenes is what allows couples to get the most out of it.
