We ask that you RSVP no later than August 10th! This will allow us to coordinate reservations, events, transportation, and more! If you do not RSVP by the allotted day, it is entirely possible that you will not be accounted for in the headcount for any events, dinners, and transportation that we coordinate.
We’d love to see our family and friends get dressed up for our big day! The dress code is formal attire. Ladies can wear floor-length, tea-length, or midi formal dresses. Gentleman can wear a suit & tie, or a button down & tie with dress pants. No jeans please! I have also attached a Pinterest board for inspiration! https://pin.it/5RKHN3qyX
No! Per the CDC website, you may see that the yellow fever vaccine is recommended for some areas of Colombia. The CDC actively recommends that you do NOT obtain the yellow fever vaccine if you are traveling to Bogota. There is no vaccine requirement to travel to the areas of Colombia where we will be staying. (This is different for children one year and under - see the CDC website for more information.)
Everyone is different! We will be staying in high altitude areas for the majority of our stay. Bogota is located 8,660 feet above sea level, and Villa de Leyva rests at 7,927 feet above sea level. We recommend bringing some form of mild altitude sickness medicine such as Ibuprofen, Advil, or Motrin just in case, but in our experience, it's nothing to be concerned about! In the event that you're experiencing altitude sickness symptoms and do not have any medication handy, there are several pharmacies everywhere we will be staying with plenty of over-the-counter solutions for very cheap!
Yes! We highly recommend that you exchange your money for Colombian Pesos, it is extremely likely that you will need physical Pesos to pay for miscellaneous things and handcrafted artisan items. We recommend using the money exchange in the Bogota Airport when you land as they have the best currency exchange rate. However, you can still use your credit card in the majority of places in Bogota. Once we travel to Villa de Leyva, it is likely that you will have to produce physical Pesos.
Yes! Everyone attending the wedding will be REQUIRED to fill out a Check-MIG form upon entry and exit to Colombia. The Check-MIG Form is a mandatory online migration pre-registration declaration required for all travelers entering or leaving Colombia. It allows Colombian immigration officials to collect necessary travel, personal, and health information electronically before you arrive at the checkpoint. You must complete the form between 72 hours and up to 1 hour before your scheduled flight departure time. It is a very easy, short form. https://apps.migracioncolombia.gov.co/pre-registro/en
Absolutely! Your Uber app should work exactly the same! For any food delivery purposes, there is no UberEats or DoorDash. In order to get food delivered, you must download the Rappi app and use WhatsApp to communicate with your Rappi driver.
We would advise that you do! WhatsApp is the primary communication app throughout Colombia; if you are looking to book anything at the hotel spa or order food off of Rappi, you will need WhatsApp to communicate with your service provider.
