Our Wedding

Happy 2021, everyone!

This has been a YEAR&nbsp;for all of us, but as we approach wedding planning (again), we're eager to celebrate and have something&nbsp;beautiful to look forward to.&nbsp;



Yes, we're already legally married. Yes, some of you already came to our intimate nuptials in our backyard last year.&nbsp;But, most of you did not and&nbsp;Mexico is calling us! We're looking forward to renewing our vows (I DO, Round Two) and celebrating our reception in true Ensenada fashion.



We fully understand that this is still a year of unknowns, but one thing is for sure -- Aram and I love each other and are excited for the chance to create memories with our original wedding destination and plan.&nbsp;



We hope to see you there.&nbsp;

Q + A

We know&nbsp;there
are A LOT of questions when it comes to travelling across the border, so we
want to provide as much detail as possible here, to help you on your journey to
Mexico.&nbsp;

First of all ...&nbsp;it's not scary, so rest assured,&nbsp;we
would not be getting married here, if it were.&nbsp;









Second, follow our tips and you will be sure to have a safe and
beautiful drive down the coast of Baja California.









We recommend gassing up and peeing before entering into Mexico.&nbsp;









We also recommend buying insurance. We use&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bajabound.com/">https://www.bajabound.com/</a> - it's simple, quick,
affordable, and reliable.&nbsp;









Please have your passports for this trip and your car
registration&nbsp;current.&nbsp;









Make sure that you have a&nbsp;Mexico data plan, so that your
Google, Waze, or MAPS work once you cross the border (note:&nbsp;we have found Waze to be the most accurate).









When entering into Mexico, we recommend using the San Ysidro
border - it's the largest entry point and the easiest access point to hop onto
the safe, toll road.&nbsp;









Once you cross into Mexico you will be let through to continue
on your drive&nbsp;or you may be stopped to be 'inspected'. To avoid being stopped, take off your sunglasses and make sure you roll down your windows if they're tinted. However, do&nbsp;not be alarmed if you get stopped -&nbsp;these are military police and they are looking for drugs/guns - so, if you
leave those at home, you'll be safe. :) JOKES! Just be smart and don't be
scared.&nbsp;









Follow your maps to your location, but stay on the CUOTA. Here
are the directions to the CUOTA, just in case:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.google.com/maps/dir/San+Ysidro+border+FW5,+22010,+Av.+V%C3%ADa+R%C3%A1pida+Pte,+Paseo+de+los+H%C3%A9roes+%26,+Zona+Urbana+Rio+Tijuana,+22010+Tijuana,+B.C./De+Cuota+a+Ensenada,+Hermenegildo+Cuenca+Diaz,+22710+Rosarito,+B.C./@32.393774,-117.1372852,11z/data=!4m15!4m14!1m5!1m1!1s0x80d94855a6294e05:0xac5de4cf5e69c0bd!2m2!1d-117.0291779!2d32.5341775!1m5!1m1!1s0x80d92e27119c5be3:0x1f9be0401d844f6a!2m2!1d-117.046847!2d32.3178157!3e0!5i2">https://www.google.com/maps/dir/San+Ysidro+border+FW5,+22010,+Av.+V%C3%ADa+R%C3%A1pida+Pte,+Paseo+de+los+H%C3%A9roes+%26,+Zona+Urbana+Rio+Tijuana,+22010+Tijuana,+B.C./De+Cuota+a+Ensenada,+Hermenegildo+Cuenca+Diaz,+22710+Rosarito,+B.C./@32.393774,-117.1372852,11z/data=!4m15!4m14!1m5!1m1!1s0x80d94855a6294e05:0xac5de4cf5e69c0bd!2m2!1d-117.0291779!2d32.5341775!1m5!1m1!1s0x80d92e27119c5be3:0x1f9be0401d844f6a!2m2!1d-117.046847!2d32.3178157!3e0!5i2</a>









You will cross through 3 toll booths, which cost $2.00-$2.10 per
toll or 35-42 pesos. (You do not need to exchange currency before crossing, but
if you do bring cash/pesos, do store it in different places and use your Credit/Debit
card when possible).&nbsp;









Depending on traffic the drive from the border to our venue will
take 1 hr and 15 minutes (about 66&nbsp;miles).&nbsp;









Once you pass through the 3rd toll, you will be close to your
destination (wherever you are staying) and our venue will be minutes from
you.&nbsp;









We recommend stopping at El Trailero for the best tacos of your
lives.&nbsp;









And once you made it safely to your destination, you can drive,
use UBER, or walk.&nbsp;









Going home, you will want to purchase a medical pass, which will
help you take the Col. Fed. (Colonial Federal)&nbsp;lane on the way home, and
will save you hours on your trip back home. The pass is often free if you stay
at the hotel, or could cost money if you walk-in and did not stay at the hotel.
Purchase ASAP when you arrive - do not wait until Sunday.&nbsp;









The Col. Fed. lane closes at 10:00 pm, so you must be in line by
9:00 pm to make it across.&nbsp;









This pass is not mandatory, but it will save you waiting in long
border lines, unless you decide to leave late a night, which will help
alleviate&nbsp;long wait times, as well.&nbsp;









You can stay up-to-date on border wait times at&nbsp;this site:&nbsp;<a href="https://apps.cbp.gov/bwt/mobile.asp?action=n&pn=2504">https://apps.cbp.gov/bwt/mobile.asp?action=n&pn=2504</a>









If you have global entry or centuri, please let us know and we
can offer special directions for finding that line on the way home, as
well!&nbsp;









We want to provide as much detail as possible to alleviate
personal texts and individual messages&nbsp;and concerns. As new questions are
brought to our attention, we will update this site with additional details
and&nbsp;information that we didn't think of.&nbsp;









Thank you for joining us - we are excited to see you all!

Driving Instructions to Ensenada

This is our #1 recommendation!! This hotel is brand new and the most affordable. It also happens to be right next door (in walking distance) to our venue. The website is in full Spanish, so we recommend calling the hotel at the number listed and don't forget to use our 'block code' for your discounted rates. If you are booking online, Google translate in Google Chrome are good for translating, but you will not be able to book through Google or your Android phone - for some reason the systems don't talk to each other. You can book using your iPhone, if necessary. The room rates are as follows and only available in pesos - I've put the American currency next to it for your information: - King Bed: 2,471.30 Pesos = ~$123.51- 2 Queen Bed: 2,637.80 Pesos = ~$131.90- Luxury 2 Queen Bed with kitchen, fridge, &amp; microwave: 2,859.80 Pesos = $143.00- Luxury King Bed with kitchen, fridge, microwave, sofa, and ocean view (you can see our venue): 2,970.80 Pesos = $149.00 We recommend paying with your credit card in pesos, just be sure that your credit card is able to make charges in Mexico to avoid your bank charging you fees. But paying in pesos will allow you to save money with the exchange rate. **Please note: American pricing listed is subject to change, as exchange rates fluctuate often.

City Express Plus Ensenada
