Say "I Do"
IN A BEAUTIFUL MEXICAN VENUE
BY NELLY GULEWICH
There’s nothing more cheerful than hearing “Vivan los Novios!” or “Long live to the Bride and Groom!.” Let’s talk with Araceli, the heart of Jazmin’s restaurant, her sales manager Javier Gomez Bedolla, and the head chef Carlos Arista Olvera, so they can tell us what they have to offer in their colorful venue.
Araceli, what inspired you to begin the wedding events here at Jazmin’s Restaurant?
“I think what inspired me was the passion I have for gastronomy, the decor, along with our restaurant gaining popularity and evolving. Innovating has been very important, in my eyes, it’s never a bad time to try something new. I got the idea after a friend of mine asked me to host her wedding event. Everything turned out so beautifully and perfectly which gave me the passion to do it for others as well”
All I do, I do with all my heart and I give thanks to God for the creativity He has gifted me with.
“Also the demand of events has grown, so we now offer to cater events in larger venues, which has made us a versatile choice in the wedding planning arena.”
What different sections do you have in the restaurant and what’s their capacities?
“We have the Terrace where we can host small events of up to 15. It is a beautiful area that overlooks the street. You can enjoy the colorful banners and people watch, especially on Thursdays, when the Art Walk makes it highly requested.”
"Our Bar section seats 25 people, it is very entertaining, and customers enjoy watching our Mixologists prepare rare artisan drinks"
“Our Patio seats 60 people, it is also our most popular section for weddings especially, because it is nicely decorated with a Mexican background, lots of greenery, and has 2 different levels that makes it feel authentic.
We also have an enclosed A/C saloon that hosts 80 people. It serves best for larger events. The decor is dedicated to the Mexican Revolution with a ceiling full of colorful Mexican garlands.”
Javier, tell us about the different table arrangements you offer for weddings!
“Most weddings we have at Jazmin’s are traditionally Mexican but we’ve had all kinds of theme requests. We have a wide repertoire of props to choose from, but Araceli and I love working with new and unique wedding ideas!
Javier, tell us about the cocktail pairings you offer with the events
“We have all the Spirits there are, from Mezcals, Tequilas, Rums, Whiskeys, Vodkas, to Liqueurs, etc.
Our special cocktails are usually made with the fruits in season! We even offer family friendly mocktails.
"We also have wines and other rare mixes we often garnish with edible flowers that make them both attractive and delicious."
Chef Carlos, what menus are most requested for weddings?
“The majority are Mexican, we have the taco stands and other service stands like hand made tortillas, taquizas, and tacos al pastor. We’ve made menus that include: white and red meats, fish, and seafood, but if they have any special requests.
"We’re pleased to adapt to the taste of our customers"
Araceli, What are your near future plans?
“At our sister restaurant, Tei Sushi, we recently designed an expansion that now includes a patio and an exterior seating area. To celebrate the second anniversary we are planning to add a wide variety of ramen recipes and want to implement grill tables where customers will be able to cook meat cuts and shrimps at their own table.”
Well, amigos, we want to thank you for having My Cabo Companion Magazine today!
The truth is that Jazmin’s Restaurant never fails to impress us for its beauty, delicious food, and excellent attention to detail. If I could recommend one place in the Art District, it would have to be Jazmin’s, especially on Thursdays during the Artwalk (5:00-10:pm).
See you soon at Jazmin’s Restaurant
