U.S. citizens need a valid passport. No visa is required. Your passport should be valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates. Please also make sure you have at least one blank page available for the entry stamp.
Yes! Like traveling anywhere, safety really comes down to choices and awareness. We’ll be celebrating in trusted spaces and have group transportation arranged for the important events. If you do want to travel on your own a little research goes a long way but in general tourist areas and major cities and landmarks are quite safe and welcoming. We can’t wait for you to see the beauty of El Salvador through our eyes!
Guests should arrive at 4pm
Yes! We’re planning a cultural tour the day before the wedding for anyone who’d like to explore the beauty of El Salvador with us. The day after the wedding, we’ll be hosting a relaxed lake day where everyone is welcome to unwind and soak in the views.
Ceremony is outdoors, lakeside. Reception is partially covered with dancing under the stars. Of course if it rains we will make the necessary arrangements.
Your presence is the greatest gift we could ask for! We know it takes time, effort, and resources to travel and celebrate with us, and we are truly grateful. We don’t expect anything more.
No need! El Salvador uses the U.S. dollar as its official currency, so you won’t need to exchange any money. While bitcoin was previously accepted as legal tender, it is no longer commonly used.
El Salvador is full of warmth, hospitality, and vibrant culture. People are friendly, respectful, and very family-oriented. A few helpful tips: • Greetings matter! A smile and a simple “Buenos días” or "Hola" goes a long way. • Dress modestly, especially when visiting churches or rural areas. • Tipping is appreciated (around 10% in restaurants if it’s not already included). • Most locals speak Spanish, so Google Translate is your best friend. We especially love the conversation feature for chatting in real time and the camera tool for menus and signs.
Stick to bottled or filtered water during your stay — it’s safest and most comfortable for travelers.
Yes! Please let us know of any dietary restrictions when you RSVP and we’ll make sure you’re taken care of.
