Question

Do I need a passport or visa to travel?

Yes, all guests will need a valid passport to enter Guatemala. U.S., Canadian, EU, and many other passport holders do not need a visa for stays under 90 days. Check with your local Guatemalan consulate if you're unsure.

Question

What should I pack?

Answer

Sunscreen and bug spray Lightweight, breathable clothing A light jacket or sweater for evenings Travel-size meds (motion sickness, Imodium, etc.) Power adapters are not needed if you’re coming from the U.S. (Guatemala uses the same plugs/voltage)

Question

What currency is used?

Answer

The currency is the Guatemalan Quetzal (GTQ). Credit cards are widely accepted in tourist areas, but smaller shops and markets prefer cash. ATMs are available in cities and larger towns.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

We're trying to keep our wedding intimate, and unfortunately, due to space and budget limitations, we're unable to accommodate extra guests

Question

What if I am running late?

Answer

Please plan to arrive early. Out of respect for the ceremony, guests who arrive after it begins will be asked to wait until the conclusion before entering the venue.

Question

How can I get to the venue?

Answer

Our ceremony and reception will take place at Jardines de Don Francisco, located about 7 minutes from the Parque Central (Central Park) in Antigua, Guatemala. From Parque Central, you can take a tuk-tuk, a small local taxi that fits about 2–3 people. Tuk-tuks are a fun, affordable, and convenient way to get around Antigua — fares typically range from Q10–Q20 (about US $1.25–$2.50) for short rides within the city. You can flag one down on the street just like a regular taxi, and they operate throughout Antigua. If you’re driving, parking will be available at the venue for your convenience.
