I was part of the team that produced an event at Maraza during festival season, and the property is exceptional. Located just minutes from the private airport and about six minutes from the festival grounds, it still feels expansive and completely removed. The Maraza team executed seamlessly, and their in-house production capabilities were incredibly impressive from both an event and logistics standpoint.

My husband and I were the very first to be married at Triterium, with our stepdaughter as the officiant, and his childhood friends as the witnesses. We were originally married during Covid and so having a small ceremony for his friends who couldn’t travel fit both our budget and our value system. It was a beautiful location and we saved a fortune over some of the other options.
