Answer

Question

Which is the closest airport?

Answer

You will be flying to La Aurora International Airport in Guatemala City (GUA). The airport is a 1-1.5 hour drive for Antigua.

Question

What is the best way to move around Antigua?

Answer

Walking! Antigua is a pretty small and walkable city so we suggest you pack comfy shoes (sandals and/or sneakers) to walk around the cobblestone streets. If you get tired of walking, you can always get an Uber or a tuk-tuk (a 3-wheel taxi, just note that payment is cash only).

Question

What is the currency?

Answer

Quetzal is the official Guatemala currency. The exchange rate is usually between 7.60 to 8.00 quetzales to 1 USD or euro. ATMs are widely available especially around tourist areas. Larger hotels also have them inside their premises. Credit cards are accepted everywhere except local artisanal markets or souvenir shops and tuk-tuks (3-wheel taxis) so we recommend carrying some quetzales with you.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Cocktail Attire for Friday Welcome Cocktails (ladies: short dresses, jumpsuits, etc. / men: button down shirt, polo, etc.). Formal Attire for Saturday Ceremony and Reception (ladies: floor to mid-length dresses / men: suit or blazer accompanied by a tie). Extra tip for the ladies: The ceremony and reception will be held at an outdoor venue and streets in Antigua are cobblestone so if you would like to wear heels, we suggest wedge or block heels.

Question

Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Our wedding ceremony and reception will be outdoors (tented).
