Unfortunately, due to budget and space limitations, we simply can’t afford for all of our lovely guests to bring a guest of their own. Therefore, we ask our guests to please not bring a plus one, unless addressed on the invitation. Thank you so much for understanding!

Be prepared to dance the night away! Spanish weddings usually go into the morning hours. If you'd like to leave early however, we will have one bus departing earlier and you are also welcome to hail a cab via Cabify.
