FAQ & Tips

FAQs

Do you have a gift registry?

We kindly request no gifts for our wedding. Your journey to celebrate with us is enough of a gift.

Will I need to carry around cash?

Mexico accepts most major credit cards, but American Express is the least common so keep that in mind. But some cases if you want to tip, carrying a bit of cash is always useful. Cash is also useful for street vendors (tacos) as they don't accept credit cards.

What will the weather be like?

It will generally be in the 70's *F, little to no rain.

What should I wear? Is there a dress code?

The dress code for our wedding is semi-formal/cocktail attire. Ladies should wear cocktail dresses, and the gentlemen should wear a suit and tie or a sports coat. It is recommended for women to not wear stilettos as the venue has some paved/cobble stone paths on the outside.

Will the ceremony and reception be indoors or outdoors?

The ceremony & cocktail hour will happen outdoors, and the reception will be indoors.

Can I bring a plus one?

We have a strict guest list to stay within our venue capacity. Our wedding is strictly RSVP only. We will only able to accommodate those listed on your invitation.

Will there be an open bar?

Yes, we will be having an open bar all night.

Can I take pictures during the ceremony to post on social media?

Yes, of course! But please be sure not to interrupt our photographers & videographer.

TIPS

Don’t drink the tap water

If you are staying at an Airbnb or Hotel, avoid drinking the tap water. You can go to any convenient store and by a large jug of water for your stay for pretty cheap.

Restaurant Tips

It is common courtesy to tip 10-15% to servers.

Restrooms

You will see letters on restrooms, below are common names for Men's and Women's restrooms. For example, M is for Mujeres/Women, NOT men.

- Women's: (M) = Mujeres | (D) = Damas

- Men's: (H) = Hombres | (C) = Caballeros

Mexican Phrases

If you speak Spanish, and it was peninsular Spanish that you learned, arriving in Mexico might be a bit of a shock to the system. The accent is different – with far more ‘s’ sounds than its peninsular counterpart – and so is the vocabulary. Some keywords you need to know are mande (‘pardon?’), ahorita (literally ‘right now,’ but in practice anywhere from ‘now’ to ‘never’), camion (‘bus’), con permiso (‘excuse me,’ as in ‘can I get past you?’). Oh, and coger means something naughty in Mexico, use aggarar instead.
