Details

We’ll kick things off with a Welcome Party on Friday at El Andariego, located across the street from Villa Premiere. The party begins at 5:30 PM — come join us as we welcome everyone to the weekend. On Saturday, guests will board a private boat to Las Caletas beach for our wedding celebration. A shuttle will pick up guests at both the Sheraton and Villa Premiere at 3:30PM. Please arrive at Puerto Mágico by 4:00 PM sharp if you choose your own transportation, as the boat will depart on time and there is no other way to access the venue. Once we set sail, we’ll all be on this adventure together until the end of the night. We’ll return to the port around 12:30 AM. The evening will include a full menu, drinks, and a late-night snack. Dress Code: Tropical Cocktail — elevated beach attire that’s stylish but comfortable for a warm evening by the ocean. 🌴✨

I heard we have to take a boat to the venue—how do I get there?

Question

What should I wear to the events?

Answer

Gentlemen are encouraged to wear light linen or khaki-style pants paired with bold, island-style shirts—no need for heavy blazers or ties. Ladies may opt for beach dresses that are slightly more elevated than a casual sundress. Please keep in mind that the terrain is sandy, so heels are not recommended.

Question

What if I need to leave the wedding early?

Answer

Because the venue is only accessible by boat, there will be no return transportation to the hotels until the event concludes. We recommend bringing anything you may need for the duration of the evening, such as medication or other essentials.
