There are many reasons why we've decided to celebrate our wedding in Oaxaca, Mexico! First, we both have a love for traveling and it has played a significant role in our story, so a destination wedding was only fitting. In our search for the perfect place, Oaxaca quickly won us over. The food, culture, crafts, colors (and of course the mezcal) are all things that have made us love Oaxaca, and we think you'll feel the same after spending some time there. For those who are able to join us, we want our wedding to be a bit of an immersive experience, and Oaxaca is just the place for this!

Good question! "Wa-ha-ka"

Although we love your little ones, this is an adult-only celebration.

Temperatures in October typically range from a high of 82°F to a low of 54°F. The rainy season usually wraps up by the end of September, though you may experience the occasional light shower in October, which tends to be brief. Fortunately, as of one week out, the forecast shows rain tapering off, with only a few light and brief showers (if any) in our area leading up to the wedding day. Be sure to pack a light jacket, an umbrella (just in case), and comfortable shoes, as everything is within walking distance.

Oaxaca state is located in south-central Mexico, just a one-hour flight from Mexico City. Oaxaca de Juarez also known as Oaxaca City is in the center of Oaxaca state. It is not only the capital city but also the state’s cultural, historic, artistic, and agricultural hub.

Aside from drinking too much mezcal, you’re in little danger in Oaxaca. As far as crime goes, Oaxaca is one of the safest states in Mexico. Oaxaca City, in particular, when compared to other urban centers, retains a friendly, small-town vibe.

Oaxaca City Centre is very walkable and pedestrian-friendly! All wedding weekend activities, and recommended hotels and restaurants, are within a relatively short walking distance. There should be no need for a hire car, taxi or public transportation while you're there (apart from getting you to/from the airport) or when going on tours outside of the city

We recommend getting there by Thursday, October 3rd. That way you will be able to enjoy everything Oaxaca has to offer and accompany us in any scheduled events before the wedding. Of course, feel free to extend your trip to have more time to enjoy this incredible city or travel to its world-renowned beaches!
