Q&A
Answers to the most common wedding questions.
Are children welcome?
We love your kids, but this wedding is adults-only. We know many of you are traveling with little ones, so we're researching child-care options for the wedding night and will share details soon.
Will transportation be provided?
Transportation won't be provided. Most events are within walking distance, and the airport is only 15 minutes from the walled city. See Travel & Stay for getting-around tips.
Should I bring a second pair of shoes?
We suggest it! Although we'll provide sandals for women, the historic cobblestone floor can be tricky. Bring something comfortable. Tennis shoes are a great idea. Your feet will thank you.
Will there be hotel discounts?
We're in the process of negotiating hotel rates and will share details as soon as we have them. Check Travel & Stay for accommodation guidance.
What should I wear?
Formal or cocktail attire works beautifully. Think light fabrics, elegant colors, and comfortable shoes for cobblestone streets. Please avoid white, beige, cream, or light yellow. See the Mood Board for inspiration.
Can I bring a plus one?
If your invitation includes "and guest," absolutely! Otherwise, we're keeping the guest list to those named on the invite due to space.
What time should I arrive?
We'd suggest arriving around 3:30 PM so you have time to settle in before the ceremony starts at 4:30 PM. View the full Itinerary.
Can I take photos during the ceremony?
We'd love for you to be fully present, so we're asking for an unplugged ceremony. Phones and cameras away, please. We'll share all the professional photos afterward.
Will the ceremony be outdoors?
The ceremony will be in a historic outdoor or covered space with tropical surroundings. We have an indoor backup ready in case of rain.

Practical Tips
Cash & cards
Cards are accepted in most hotels and restaurants, but keep pesos handy for street food, taxis, and tips.
Download it before you arrive. It's the easiest way to coordinate rides, tours, and communicate locally.
