our story
NICOLE AND STEVEN MET WHILE SERVING IN THE PEACE CORPS AS AGRICULTURE SUSTAINABILITY VOLUNTEERS IN PERU. BOTH STATIONED IN NEIGHBORING RURAL COMMUNITIES IN THE ANDES, STEVEN WAS WORKING WITH LOCAL FARMERS TO IMPROVE CROP YIELDS AND NICOLE WAS HELPING YOUNG STUDENTS WITH ENGLISH EDUCATION.
AFTER A DAY OF FARMING QUINOA, STEVEN WAS RETIRING TO HIS ADOBE WHEN HE NOTICED NICOLE ABOUT TO TAKE A BUCKET SHOWER WITH THE WRONG TYPE OF BUCKET. HE SAID, “THAT ONE’S FOR FEEDING THE ALPACAS....IT STILL HAS HAY PELLETS IN IT.” SHE REPLIED, “I WAS GOING TO USE THEM TO EXFOLIATE.” THEY LAUGHED. HE WAS CHARMING AND SHE WAS SO STUPID.
BETWEEN EARLY MORNING MARKET TRIPS AND LONG AFTERNOONS WORKING SIDE BY SIDE IN THE POTATO FIELDS, THEIR RELATIONSHIP GREW. HE TAUGHT HER ABOUT SOIL PRESERVATION, SHE TAUGHT HIM HOW TO COOK POLLO A LA BRASA. AFTER JUST A FEW WEEKS, STEVEN ASKED NICOLE TO BE HIS GIRLFRIEND - IN QUECHUA OF COURSE, WHICH THEY BOTH SPEAK FLUENTLY.
WHAT CONNECTED THEM AT FIRST WAS A SHARED SENSE OF PURPOSE AND COMMITMENT TO MAKING THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE. YEARS LATER, THEY’RE STILL BUILDING A LIFE THE SAME WAY -- JUST WITHOUT THE BUCKET!
faq's
WHAT AIRPORT DO I FLY INTO?
PLEASE FLY INTO LOS CABOS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (SJD).
IT'S GREAT, IT HAS A SBARRO
DO I NEED TO RENT A CAR?
YOU DEFINITELY DON’T HAVE TO RENT A CAR IN CABO! THERE’S LOTS OF TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS IN THE AREA, INCLUDING TAXIS AND UBERS. THAT SAID, WE LOVE RENTING A CAR THERE AND RECOMMEND IT IF YOU WANT TO BEACH-HOP/SURF/EXPLORE. YOU CAN PICK-UP AND DROP-OFF AT THE AIRPORT, AND DAILY RATES ARE USUALLY GREAT
HOW DO I GET FROM THE AIRPORT
TO THE RESORT?
IF YOU DON’T RENT A CAR AND DRIVE, YOU CAN TAKE A TAXI, UBER, OR ARRANGE A SHUTTLE TO TAKE YOU FROM THE AIRPORT TO THE RESORT. PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE IN BOOKING A SHUTTLE SERVICE FOR YOU OR YOUR GROUP! OR, IF YOU WANT TO BOOK IT YOURSELF, AMSTAR IS THE RESORT’S RECOMMENDED SERVICE FOR AIRPORT TRANSFERS
IF WE'RE NOT STAYING AT ZOETRY, CAN WE COME TO ALL OF THE WEDDING EVENTS AT THE RESORT?
ABSOLUTELY! WHEN YOU CONFIRM YOUR RSVP, PLEASE LET US KNOW WHICH DATES YOU'LL BE IN CABO AND IF YOU'LL BE STAYING ELSEWHERE, AND WE'LL MAKE SURE ZOETRY HAS YOUR NAMES SO IT'S EASY TO COME IN/OUT FOR ANY AND ALL EVENTS. AND AS LONG AS YOU'RE STAYING WITHIN AN HOUR OF THE RESORT, UBERS AND TAXIS ARE VERY AVAILABLE AND EASY TO ORDER! PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU NEED ANY HELP WITH TRANSPORTATION :)
WHAT TIME SHOULD I ARRIVE
AT THE CEREMONY?
THE CEREMONY WILL START AT 5:00 PM. SO TO BE SAFE, SHOOT TO ARRIVE BETWEEN 4:30 PM AND 4:45 PM
WILL THE WEDDING TAKE PLACE
INDOORS OR OUTDOORS?
THE CEREMONY, COCKTAIL HOUR, AND THE RECEPTION WILL ALL BE OUTDOORS
HOW DID MY CHILDHOOD SHAPE MY PERSONALITY?
YOUR CHILDHOOD TAUGHT YOU WHAT YOU NEEDED TO DO TO FEEL SAFE, LOVED, ACCEPTED, AND IN CONTROL, AND MANY ADULT TRAITS ARE ADAPTATIONS OF THOSE EARLY EXPERIENCES, AND REFLECTIONS OF THE BEHAVIORS YOU DEVELOPED TO PROTECT YOURSELF.
IS PARKING AVAILABLE AT THE VENUE?
YES! VALET PARKING IS COMPLIMENTARY AT ZOETRY
WHAT WILL THE WEATHER BE LIKE?
WHILE THERE'S A GREAT OCEAN BREEZE, THE WEATHER IS ESTIMATED TO BE MID TO LOW 80'S DURING THE WEDDING
HAVE YOU BOOKED A BLOCK OF ROOMS AT THE RESORT FOR GUESTS?
WHILE WE DON'T HAVE A GUARANTEED AMOUNT OF ROOMS AT ZOETRY, WE DO HAVE DISCOUNTED ROOM RATES FOR OUR GROUP. PLEASE BOOK THROUGH THE ZOETRY WEBSITE, AND USE THE DISCOUNT CODE "SUNBLACKWEDD" TO ACCESS THE SPECIAL RATES. MORE INFO ON ZOETRY & ROOM RATES IN THE "ACCOMODATIONS" SECTION
WHAT TYPE OF FOOD & DRINKS WILL BE SERVED?
GOOD ONES
WHEN WILL THE RECEPTION END?
WILL THERE BE AN AFTER-PARTY?
THE RECEPTION WILL END AT EITHER 11:00 PM OR 12:00 AM (TBD). WHILE THERE'S NO OFFICIAL AFTER-PARTY SCHEDULED RIGHT NOW, IF PEOPLE ARE STILL RAGING DOWNTOWN CABO SAN LUCAS HAS TONS OF BARS AND CLUBS AND IS JUST AN UBER AWAY
WHAT CAUSED THE MEXICAN REVOLUTION?
THE MEXICAN REVOLUTION WAS CAUSED BY DEEP INEQUALITY, POLITICAL CORRUPTION, AND WIDESPREAD ANGER OVER THE LONG DICTATORSHIP OF PORFIRIO DIAZ, DURING WHICH WEALTHY ELITES CONTROLLED MOST LAND AND POWER. THE REVOLUTION BEGAN IN 1910 AFTER DIAZ REFUSED DEMOCRATIC REFORMS AND OPPONENTS DEMANDED POLITICAL FREEDOM, LAND REDISTRIBUTION, AND BETTER RIGHTS FOR WORKERS AND PEASANTS.
IS THIS A CHILD-FREE WEDDING?
SADLY, YES. FOR CAPACITY REASONS, THE WEDDING IS GROWN-UPS ONLY. HOWEVER, THE RESORT ITSELF DOES ALLOW KIDS, SO IF YOU WANT TO BRING THEM/AREN'T ABLE TO FIND CHILDCARE, YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME!
ARE PLUS ONES ALLOWED?
NOPE. NO DORKS.
CAN YOU SWIM AT THE BEACH
IN FRONT OF THE RESORT?
SADLY, NO...AS IS THE CASE AT MANY OTHER RESORTS IN CABO, THE BEACH IN FRONT OF ZOETRY IS NOT SWIMMABLE BECAUSE OF CURRENTS. HOWEVER, ZIPPERS IS MINUTES AWAY, AND IS A GREAT SWIMMING & SURFING BEACH. IF YOU'RE UP FOR A LONGER DRIVE, LA FORTUNA IS ALSO A GREAT SWIMMING/SURFING BEACH.
YOU DIDN'T ANSWER ONE OF MY QUESTIONS AND I THINK IT WILL BE FREQUENTLY ASKED BY MANY OTHER GUESTS. WHAT OUTLET WILL YOU PROVIDE FOR MY FRUSTRATION?
WE KNOW WE AREN'T THE BEST AT KNOWING FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS. IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION THAT HASN'T BEEN ADDRESSED AND YOU THINK WE SHOULD INCLUDE IT ON THIS WEBSITE, PLEASE SUBMIT IT VIA THE BUTTON BELOW. THANK YOU!
thank you and we love you
