Welcome Dinner Party

Sat, Nov 21, 2026, 6:00 pm - Sun, Nov 22, 2026, 12:00 am

For attire, we invite you to embrace the mood: breezy dresses, linen, soft prints, colorful separates, and comfortable shoes for an outdoor gathering. Think vineyard-meets-beach house rather than formal cocktail attire.

Think relaxed coastal elegance with a splash of color. We'll gather at our home in José Ignacio for an evening of great food, wine, and conversation under the stars. Inspired by the vibrant spirit of Uruguay's coast, the evening palette features cheerful shades of yellow, melon, coral, pink, orange, and green. Most importantly, come ready to relax, connect, and kick off the wedding weekend with us. We'll be gathering around a live-fire cooking experience inspired by the flavors and traditions of Uruguay, paired with great wine and even better company. Come hungry!

We are getting Married!

6:00 pm - 11:30 pm

Attire is vineyard chic. We encourage guests to choose pieces that feel polished yet comfortable. Think flowing dresses, tailored separates, linen, and natural fabrics. The ceremony and reception will take place outdoors, so we recommend shoes suitable for walking on grass, gravel, and vineyard paths.

Our wedding day is inspired by the natural beauty of Bodega Garzón and the surrounding vineyards. The palette shifts to soft neutrals, greens, natural textures, and romantic florals, allowing the landscape to take center stage. The atmosphere will be elegant, intimate, and relaxed, with a focus on great wine, exceptional food, and celebrating with our favorite people.

Beach Day Celebration

12:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Attire is casual beach chic. Think sundresses, linen shirts, shorts, sandals, swimsuits, cover-ups, and your favorite sun hat. Feel free to come and go, take a swim, grab a drink, or simply relax with friends and family. No schedule, no formalities—just one last chance to soak up the beauty of Uruguay and spend time together before the wedding weekend comes to a close.

After a weekend of celebrating, join us for a relaxed afternoon by the sea. José Ignacio is known for its beautiful beaches, laid-back atmosphere, and long summer afternoons. We'll gather to enjoy the sunshine, ocean views, good conversation, and a few final moments together before everyone heads home.
