Yes, a valid passport is required for all international travel to Mexico.
Yes, you will need pesos as credit cards are not widely accepted. We recommend getting pesos from your bank prior to traveling to Mexico to avoid excess fees charged at the airport/local ATMs.
This will vary depending on how long you plan to stay and what activities you’d like to do. If you are only coming for the wedding weekend, we recommend bringing around $100 USD per couple, per day, which should be more than enough for meals, small expenses, and a few souvenirs.
Yes, Tepotzotlán is a very safe and somewhat touristy area that sees a good amount of activity during the day. However, as with any destination, we recommend avoiding wandering around late at night, staying aware of your surroundings, and using general caution.
Most phone plans include Mexico, but it’s a good idea to check with your carrier before traveling. Coverage can be spotty around town, though hotels usually have Wi-Fi.
NO. Do not drink the tap water in Tepotzotlán. You should buy bottled or jugs of water from a convenience store and use it even for brushing your teeth. Showers are perfectly safe, so no worries there!
There are plenty of restaurants in Tepotzotlán’s central plaza, so you’ll have lots of options! We recommend keeping an open mind, some of the most delicious dishes are found in unexpected spots. For late night cravings, it’s a good idea to stock up on snacks, as many places close as early as 7 PM.
Tepotzotlán sits at a high elevation, around 7,500 feet (2,300 meters). Most guests adjust quickly, but if you’re coming from lower elevations, take it easy the first day and stay hydrated. It is not uncommon to feel unusually tired. Pack medication if you are truly concerned.
Tepotzotlán is a walkable city but the streets are cobblestone and there can be uneven terrain, so make sure to bring good walking shoes. There are plenty of taxis roaming the town—just make sure you know the name of your hotel or take a screenshot of the location before leaving, since cell service or Wi-Fi can be spotty. You can also use Uber or DiDi (Mexico’s version of Uber), and it’s best to set up the apps and your account in advance.
We expect cocktail attire and, since our wedding is in Mexico, we love vibrant colors! Please do not wear white or black. For the Catholic ceremony, there are no strict requirements just please dress modestly. Please bring an extra pair of dancing shoes to the reception!
You can take photos during the ceremony just please refrain from using flash and keep it to a respectful amount.
Tepotzotlán has mild, comfortable weather year round thanks to its high altitude. In September, expect warm days with a chance of afternoon showers and cooler evenings, perfect for outdoor events. A light jacket or shawl is a good idea!
It often rains in the afternoon. Rain or shine, the celebration continues! We recommend bringing/buying an umbrella.
Since we are asking you to travel, your presence is the greatest gift. If you feel inclined, you can contribute to our newlywed fund on the Registry tab on this website.
