Hacienda la Victoria, Subachoque, Colombia

WEDDING VENUE

Hacienda la Victoria

We’re so excited to celebrate our special day at Hacienda La Victoria, a beautiful countryside estate just an hour and a half from Bogotá. Surrounded by mountains and lush greenery, it’s the perfect mix of elegance, rustic charm, and natural beauty — a place that truly reflects us as a couple. We both have a deep love for nature and the outdoors, and this setting captures that spirit completely. From the peaceful atmosphere to the sweeping views and open skies, it feels like the perfect backdrop for such a meaningful day. The entire celebration — from the ceremony to dinner and dancing — will take place at the hacienda, creating a seamless and intimate experience. It features a Victorian-style chapel with breathtaking views, where the ceremony will be held. Afterward, we’ll gather just outside the chapel in a lovely reception area to socialize, enjoy drinks, and take photos surrounded by nature and mountain views. Then, just a few steps away, we’ll move into a spacious wooden-and-glass salon with tall windows and panoramic views, where the dinner and party will take place. For those who’d like to stay overnight, the hacienda offers beautiful, spacious guest houses right on the property. With everything in one place, we’ll get to enjoy the full day and night surrounded by nature, celebration, and the people we love most. We can’t wait to share this special place...and this special day with you!!

Our story

They say love appears when you least expect it — and that’s exactly how ours began. From the very start, everything felt natural, effortless, and true. We felt an immediate, powerful connection...like we had found our soulmate and perfect match. We share a deep love, aligned values, and a vision for life rooted in adventure, curiosity, and care. From stargazing to exploring the unknown, we saw in each other a perfect reflection of laughter, kindness, and wonder. Our journey has been filled with incredible memories: countless adventures around the world, family and friends, endless jokes, deep conversations, and the simple joy of just being together. We said “yes” to being boyfriend and girlfriend under the stars and by the fire, and shared our first “I love you” while camping at our favorite spot. Emil began visiting Colombia every year, fitting in perfectly as if he had always belonged there. We’ve celebrated the joy of building our first home together — and then came the unforgettable chapter: a magical proposal in Iceland beneath the northern lights. Today, our love grows deeper with every moment. It’s tender, joyful, passionate, and full of laughter. We cherish the little things, the shared dreams, and above all, the feeling that we’ve truly found our person. We both feel endlessly grateful and unbelievably lucky to have met each other and to now be starting this next great adventure together. We can’t wait to celebrate our special day with all the people we love.

Our Northern Lights Proposal in Iceland

The Wedding Website of Juliana Cardona Medina and Emil Roach
Nov 2024: In the middle of nowhere, surrounded by the peaceful stillness of Iceland, we were staying in a tiny wooden cabin..the kind of place where the stars feel closer and time moves a little slower. At 3 a.m., we woke up to get ready for our next adventure to Norway. As we stepped outside, groggy and bundled up against the cold, we looked up — and the sky was glowing green. After waiting all week and thinking we might miss them entirely, the Northern Lights finally appeared. It felt like the universe had been saving this one perfect moment just for us. Right then, with the sky dancing above us, surrounded by stars and silence, Emil got down on one knee. We’ve always shared a love for the universe, the stars, the unknown, the beauty of it all.. and in that moment, it felt like everything aligned. The proposal was a dream come true, something we’ll hold in our hearts forever. It was quiet, surreal, and magical — a moment just for us, under the Northern Lights.
