We feel so grateful that you want to capture moments from our special day. During the ceremony, we kindly ask that you avoid stepping in front of our photographer or walking down the center aisle, so they can do their best to preserve these memories for us all. If for any reason you arrive after the ceremony has begun, we would be so thankful if you could enter quietly through the side aisles. Would be ideal if you’re seated by 11:45am. Your understanding means the world to us. Thank you for helping make our day truly unforgettable.
We kindly ask that our wedding be a celebration just for adults. If for any reason you’ll be bringing your children, we ask that you please contact Caro to arrange for a nanny or childcare. Children will not be allowed on the dance floor, as this will be an adults-only area. Thank you so much for understanding. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!

If you're coming just for our wedding, we recommend you stay in Oaxaca the following dates: March 4th to the 8th to avoid cancelled flights or any other inconvenience that could possibly happen so wouldn't miss our big day! You're more than welcome to accommodate those dates at your convenience.
If you’re traveling from the United States, Bolivia, Portugal, Spain, or Croatia, you only need a valid passport with at least 6 months remaining before it expires from your arrival date.
March in Oaxaca is warm/hot, humid, and mostly sunny. Daytime temperatures around 82–86°F (28–30°C) with a feeling of 90°F and cooler evenings around 51–56°F (11–14°C). Keep in mind some places don't run the A/C, so pack accordingly. We recommend packing: -Light, breathable clothing for daytime -A sweater or light jacket for the evening -Comfortable shoes for walking and dancing -Sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen) -Mosquito repellent as there can be mosquitoes
Cash is necessary in Oaxaca, especially for taxis, street vendors, and traditional markets (mercados) to buy souvenirs. We recommend exchanging small amounts of money at official currency exchange offices (casas de cambio) or withdrawing pesos from ATMs inside banks for better rates and safety. Avoid exchanging at the airport unless necessary (rates are higher). Restaurants, bars, pharmacies and shops around Oaxaca Centro take card.
We don’t recommend renting a car since parking is difficult to find. Distances are very short and there are plenty of taxis around. Use only yellow taxis and agree on the price before getting in (they are not metered). For airport-hotel transportation, use either hotel transportation or official airport taxis. Uber is not widely available in Oaxaca. Walk when you can, the historic center is very safe and charming on foot.
