Questions

Question

When should I book flights & hotels?

Answer

If you’re seeing this, now’s probably a good time to start looking at flights and hotels. January is one of the best times to be in Puerto Vallarta, and things book up fast.

Question

When should I arrive?

Answer

We’d love for you to arrive by Friday in time for the welcome party, but a lot of guests are planning to come early. We’ll be there starting Tuesday and would love to see everyone before the weekend officially kicks off.

Question

Where should I stay?

Answer

We’ll be hosting a room block at Garza Blanca, where we’ll also be staying! See the “Travel” page for more details, room block information, and nearby hotel and Airbnb options.

Question

Do I need a Passport or Visa?

Answer

Yes! A valid U.S. passport is required to enter Mexico. Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates.

Question

What should I wear throughout the weekend?

Answer

Welcome Party All white or cream - no other colors, please. Mini or midi dresses or simple sets for women; button-downs or nice tees with pants or tailored shorts for men. Wedding Day Tropical formal - Bright colors, florals, and fun patterns encouraged. Women: midi or maxi dresses. Men: Light or linen suits or a button-down with slacks. The full event is outdoors, so keep it light and breathable. No jeans! Boat Day Attire: Bright colors and fun prints encouraged - no black!

Question

Will transportation be provided?

Answer

For the wedding, shuttles will run to and from Garza Blanca. We'll also coordinate transportation to the boat on Sunday for anyone joining - more details to come! For the welcome dinner, there won't be shuttles - but Uber and taxis are easy and affordable.

Question

Is it safe to travel to Puerto Vallarta?

Answer

Yes! Just use the same common sense you would anywhere else, and don’t let anyone convince you to buy a timeshare :)

Question

Can I bring a plus-one?

Answer

We’re celebrating with our closest family and friends, so only the guests listed on your invitation are invited. We appreciate your understanding!

Question

Kids?

Answer

We love your kids, but our wedding weekend will be adults-only.

Question

How will invitations and RSVPs work?

Answer

Formal invitations and RSVP details will be sent digitally closer to the wedding. For now, just save the date and start booking flights and accommodations!

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

January in Puerto Vallarta is pretty perfect: warm, sunny days in the mid-80s and comfortable evenings in the low-70s.

Question

What currency should I bring?

Answer

The local currency is the Mexican Peso (MXN). Most hotels and restaurants in PV accept U.S. dollars and credit cards, but it's handy to have some pesos for smaller purchases, tips, and street vendors. ATMs are widely available - just let your bank know you're traveling beforehand.

Question

Do you have a registry?

Answer

We don't have a traditional registry - living in a small NYC apartment, we're lucky to already have most of what we need. Your presence is truly the best gift. If you'd like to contribute, we've set up a honeymoon fund and a future home fund. Thank you for celebrating with us! 💙
