Antigua, Guatemala is small, popular destination for travelers, tourists, and weddings, and it is generally very safe. Most of the city's attractions (including the hotels suggested on this website's travel page and the wedding venue) are confined to an area smaller than 10 square blocks, which can be walked in 15 minutes! But like traveling to any city, extra precautions should be taken, such as protecting valuables from pickpockets and avoiding wandering around alone at night.

April temperatures in Antigua are typically in the high 70s/low 80s during the day and in the high 50s/low 60s at night.

Antigua is full of boutique hotels and Airbnbs, we have reserved a room block at El Camino Real for guests. Please see our Travel Page for more information on booking your stay.

Yes, the welcome party dress code is cocktail attire.

The wedding attire is Black Tie Optional. We'd love to see guests in long formal dresses, tuxedos, or suits. Feel free to lean into the vibrant Guatemalan culture and include some bold colors!

While we love your little ones, we also want you to be able to kick back, relax, and celebrate with us, which is why we have decided that the wedding and welcome party will be adults-only.

Block heels/thicker heels will likely be more comfortable for wedding events as the streets are cobblestone and cocktail hour will be held in a garden. With cobblestone streets, be sure to bring comfortable walking shoes to explore the city.

Of course! We have arranged for pre- and post-wedding events for anyone who is interested, but completely understand if you aren't able to participate. Come to whatever you can! Just don’t forget to RSVP “not attending” to events you won’t be attending.

You will be missed, but we completely understand. Please RSVP “not attending” as soon as possible so we can plan accordingly.

If your invitation includes an option for a plus one, then yes!

The reception will end at 11:00 pm. Those still standing are invited to join us at for an after party! More details to follow!

Antigua is amazing! As described by The New York Times Magazine: "Nestled in the forested hills of southern Guatemala, the small city of Antigua was once the most prominent seat of Spanish colonial government between Mexico City and Lima, Peru. Founded in the early 16th century, it served as Guatemala’s capital for almost 300 years, until 1773, when it was abandoned by crown officials following a series of devastating volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and floods. In the mid-1800s, agriculturists took note of Antigua’s rich volcanic soils, and the city thrived once again, as a center of coffee and grain production. It was during this period that its canary-colored Santa Catalina Arch, built in 1694 as a walkway for nuns, received its domed clock tower, becoming Antigua’s most iconic monument. In 1979, Unesco designated Antigua a World Heritage Site, ensuring the protection of its architectural and cultural legacy. Now, the city’s cobbled streets — arranged in an easy-to-navigate grid, with views of the imposing Volcán de Agua to the south and the twin peaks of Volcán de Fuego and Acatenango to the west — are lined with farm-to-table restaurants, contemporary art galleries and design studios. Beyond the city’s verdant Parque Central, these new additions are taking root near 17th- and 18th- century buildings in the Baroque Antigueño style, with decorative stucco ornamentation and low bell towers designed to withstand earthquakes — such as Las Capuchinas, a former convent that is now a colonial-era art museum. The city’s architectural heritage is only bested by its vibrantly patterned traditional textiles, made using natural dyeing techniques and sold at workshops and bustling open-air markets across the city. With its towering volcanoes (accessible by challenging day hikes), booming coffee scene and bevy of boutique hotels, Antigua is quickly garnering appeal as one of the most enticing cities in Central America."
