Acre Resort Wedding Guide

Acre Resort sits in the jungle just outside San José del Cabo, and it’s about as far from the postcard Cabo beach-and-infinity-pool wedding as you can get — palm groves, an organic garden, a private animal sanctuary, and a mango orchard where the party happens. I’ve photographed a wedding here myself, Cathy and Trevor’s, and the short version is this: getting ready happened at a different property nearby, the ceremony was tucked among the palm trees, and the reception went until nobody wanted to sit down. If you want a Los Cabos wedding that doesn’t look like every other Los Cabos wedding, this is the venue that does that.

Why get married at Acre Resort?

Because it flips the Cabo wedding script. Most Los Cabos venues sell you the ocean; Acre sells you the jungle. Cathy and Trevor’s ceremony happened among the palm trees with tropical plants and jungle paths on every side, and it read as elegant and warm rather than the resort-ballroom feel a lot of Cabo weddings end up with. If your guests already have “beach wedding” fatigue from every other Cabo trip, this is a genuinely different setting in the same destination.

What does a wedding at Acre Resort cost?

I’m not going to invent a number. Venue pricing changes by season, guest count and what package you build, and I only shoot the wedding — I don’t quote the venue. What’s public: the resort is built for weddings from an intimate long table of 12 up to celebrations of 250–350 guests in the Mango Orchard, so the range is wide by design. Get your own quote directly from Acre once you have real numbers (guest count, dates), and ask specifically what’s bundled (space, tables) versus what you bring in.

Ceremony & reception spots

The ceremony: among the palm trees, with jungle paths opening up around the space. Cathy and Trevor’s vows happened there, and it’s the kind of setting where the greenery does most of the visual work — you don’t need much additional decor.

Portraits: we slipped away with Cathy and Trevor for a first look and couple portraits before the ceremony, no rush, no audience. Those quiet portraits of just the two of them are almost always the ones a couple ends up loving most.

The reception: under lights, in the middle of the resort’s greenery, with the dance floor set up in what the venue calls the Mango Orchard. Cathy and Trevor’s reception ran late — nobody sat down that night.

Best time of day / year

Golden hour in the palm groves is worth building your timeline around, same logic as any garden or jungle ceremony — soft, filtered light instead of the flat overhead sun Los Cabos gets midday. Los Cabos runs dry and warm most of the year, but check the resort directly on hurricane-season dates (roughly June to November) if you’re planning far out; that’s venue-and-region knowledge, not something I’ve tested myself on a wedding day here.

What nobody tells you about Acre Resort

Getting ready doesn’t necessarily happen at Acre itself — Cathy and Trevor got ready at Garza Blanca, a separate property nearby, and then the wedding moved to Acre for the ceremony and reception. If your plan involves more than one location for getting-ready photos, build travel time into your timeline; it’s an easy detail to miss when you’re picturing the whole day at one address.

Beyond that: I don’t know Acre’s sound curfew or rain contingency for an outdoor jungle ceremony firsthand, since Cathy and Trevor’s day didn’t test either one. Confirm both directly with the venue before you lock a date, especially if your reception is going to run late.

FAQ

Is Acre Resort good for an outdoor jungle ceremony?

Yes — the palm-tree ceremony spot is built for it, but ask the venue about their rain plan before you book; we haven’t had to test it ourselves.

How many guests can Acre Resort hold?

Per the venue, anywhere from a small long table of 12 up to 250–350 guests in the Mango Orchard, so it scales in both directions.

Can we stay on-site at Acre Resort?

Yes — per the venue, it’s a treehouse resort with on-site rooms plus private villas. I got-ready photos elsewhere for Cathy and Trevor’s wedding, so confirm with the venue directly what their own getting-ready spaces look like.

Does Acre Resort handle sound and noise curfews well for a late reception?

Not something I can confirm firsthand — ask the venue directly, especially if you’re planning a reception that runs past a normal dinner hour.

How many weddings has Fernando photographed at Acre Resort?

One so far, Cathy and Trevor’s. This guide is built from that real experience plus what the venue publishes, not from a brochure alone.

Is Acre Resort in Cabo San Lucas or San José del Cabo?

San José del Cabo, per the venue — it’s a jungle property, not a beachfront one, which is part of what makes it a different kind of Los Cabos wedding.
