Ceremony & Reception

What time should we arrive?

Please plan to arrive between 3:30 and 3:45 p.m. to find your seat before the ceremony begins promptly at 4:00 p.m.

Where will the ceremony and reception take place?

Both the ceremony and reception will be held at La Capilla Río in Rio Grande City, TX.

Is everything outdoors?

Yes! Both the ceremony and reception will be outdoors, surrounded by the beautiful South Texas scenery.

The celebration will continue — rain or shine!

Is there parking?

Yes, parking is available on-site and free for all guests.

Will there be transportation or shuttles?

No shuttles will be provided. Please plan your transportation accordingly — We recommend scheduling an Uber, and/or Lyft ahead of time.

Attire & Style

What’s the dress code?

Think semi-formal to formal with a touch of western charm.

Jeans are totally fine if styled nicely — just no white, please!

Any colors to avoid?

Please avoid wearing white so the bride can shine.

Should we prepare for the weather?

January evenings in South Texas can be cool, and the venue includes a cozy fire pit area. We recommend bringing a light jacket or shawl to stay comfortable.

Food, Drinks & Fun

Will there be an open bar?

Yes — enjoy a fully stocked open bar all evening!

Will you have vegetarian or special meals?

No special meal accommodations will be available.

Is this an adults-only celebration?

Yes, this is an adult-only wedding (no kids’ meals will be served).

What kind of music can we expect?

A mix of DJ tunes and mariachi magic during dinner — so bring your dancing shoes!

Can we take photos during the ceremony?

We’re having an unplugged ceremony to stay present in the moment. Please wait to take photos until the photographer gives the okay at the end of the ceremony.

Gifts & Registry

Where are you registered?

You can find our registry on The Knot.

Can I ship gifts to your home?

Yes! You’re welcome to ship gifts directly to our home through The Knot registry.

Can I bring gifts to the wedding?

We kindly ask that all physical gifts come from our registry. Since we’ll be traveling back to San Antonio after the wedding, it’ll help us out so much with transport.

Travel & Lodging

What’s the closest airport?

The nearest airport is McAllen International Airport (MFE) — about an hour from the venue.

Where should we stay?

We recommend the Holiday Inn in Rio Grande City. For more options, you’ll find plenty of hotels in Mission and McAllen.

Anything fun to do in town?

After the wedding, grab tacos at Tacos Aka, Jaripeo, or Tacos Alex. For a drink, check out Tequila’s Bar — Rio Grande City’s local favorite.

Final Details

Are kids invited?

We love your little ones, but this will be an adult-only celebration.

Can I bring a plus-one?

We’re keeping the guest list intimate, so we ask that only those listed on the invitation attend.
