FAQs

Question

What is the date and time of the wedding ceremony/reception?

Answer

Our wedding ceremony will begin at 4pm on January 2nd. Cocktail hour and reception will follow!

Question

What should I wear to the wedding?

Answer

Dress Code: Beach Formal We’d love to see everyone looking sharp but comfortable. Think cocktail dresses, flowy maxi dresses, or elegant separates, relaxed/linen dress shirts, slacks, or chinos for men. Jackets are optional, and ties are completely up to you. Puerto Vallarta will be extremely hot and sunny- we encourage light, breathable fabrics like linen or cotton. Bright colors and tropical patterns are welcome! Please keep in mind that the majority of the ceremony and reception will be outdoors, so plan for warm weather and comfort. We kindly ask that guests avoid jeans, shorts, and flip-flops.

Question

What should I wear the other nights of our stay?

Answer

We’ll be dressing up each night—because why not, we’re in Mexico! Feel free to join in with fun outfits if you’d like, but absolutely no pressure. We want everyone to feel comfortable and wear whatever makes them happiest. Whether that’s resort casual, something dressy, or your favourite vacation fit—you do you!

Question

Are there any events leading up to the wedding date?

Answer

Yes! Each guest will have a printed itinerary available in their hotel room upon arrival. This will include a QR code that you can scan to join a WhatsApp group chat (here, we will communicate daily plans/meet ups). With that being said, there will be MUCH free time to mix, mingle and do whatever you please at the resort- or, to explore Puerto Vallarta!
