Yes! In fact, the sooner you let us know if you are able to celebrate with us, the better. Go to the 'RSVP' tab and enter your name to unlock your RSVP form. RSVP deadline: April 1st, 2024
While we love your kids, this is an adults ONLY celebration.
YES! We will be providing a bus to and from the wedding from our hotel. If you decide to seek your own housing accommodations we recommend you meeting us at the hotel to catch the bus.
Our ceremony is “unplugged" - no pictures. A professional photographer will be present to capture all special moments and those photos will be available to all guests. However, feel free to take all the pictures and videos you want while we party it up at the cocktail hour and reception!
YES! All drinks are on the newlyweds, all we ask is that you tip the bartenders respectfully, as the service industry is very special to the bride.
BLACK TIE. DRESS TO IMPRESS! This means tuxedos and full-length gowns — like you’re ready to walk the red carpet. We kindly ask that you do not wear colors traditionally reserved for the bride; whites, ivories, blushes etc. Please, NO jeans, shorts, sneakers, casual dresses/sundresses, or flip flops.

Weddings in Colombia, like many other countries, last past midnight. Ours will be until 2am! At midnight we like to have “la hora loca” or “crazy hour”, which marks the end of the wedding and the start of the after party.
Please research your country's travel protocols prior to traveling, as these are changing often. ENTERING COLOMBIA No tourist visas are required, but passports must not expire within 6 months of your travel date. Fill out the CheckMig form required before entering the country, up to 72 hours in advance of travel date. This can be filled out here: https://apps.migracioncolombia.gov.co/pre-registro/en/DatosViaje LEAVING COLOMBIA The United States Ministry of Health no longer requires proof of vaccination or Covid test upon entering the USA.
If your guest name is listed on your invite and when you RSVP, then YES! Otherwise, we would love to keep the wedding as an intimate event with close friends and family.
- If you want a beer, you say = una cerveza por favor - Hello/good morning/afternoon/night = Buenas - No, thank you = No, gracias - If you think something is cool = Que Chimba or Chevere - "Guaro" - you'll know this one by the end of your trip - as this is the short version of "Aguardiente", which literally means "Burning Water". And we will have tons of it! It's Colombia's staple liquor & the brides favorite!
Of course! Please make note of any dietary constraints when you RSVP.
We are thrilled to extend a warm invitation to those who are able to join us for the pre-wedding events. While some of these events are optional, we kindly request that guests RSVP if they plan to attend, as this will help us accommodate everyone. For further information about the events and the dress code, please refer to the "Events" tab.
In Colombia, they use Colombian Pesos. The current exchange rate is about 4,000 COP to $1 USD. Most places accept credit cards, just make sure to use a CC that does not charge a foreign transaction fee. We recommend exchanging no more than $100 USD when you arrive at the airport in order to pay for your taxi or anything small. After that, we urge guests to exchange any dollars to pesos at a bank - they will give you the best exchange rate possible.
Without a doubt; it’s one of the best places to come to in the entire country. This is one of the most beautiful cities in the whole of South America. While it is extremely unlikely that you will encounter anything that could be considered unsafe, nothing in life is certain.. So like many tourist destinations, make sure to not look flashy and always keep an eye out for petty scams.
- National Emergency Number: 123 | U.S. Embassy in Colombia: (+57) (1) 275-2000 - Make sure to ask for the rate prior to getting in the taxi. (We strongly recommend taking ubers) - Most people don't speak English I recommend using a translator app. - Tip is around 10% and is usually given when a service is provided. Nicer restaurants will automatically add a service charge (Propina in Spanish) to your bill, so make sure to check before paying. - Tipping is not customary for things like taxis, but many locals have grown accustomed to Americans tipping, so don’t be surprised when asked for a tip. - While most tourist locations have safe drinking water, stick to drinking from bottled water. - Never give out your passports! We recommend you bring a photocopy with you. - You don't need an adapter. Colombia uses the same plugs and outlets as the USA. - When entering the USA, make sure to claim any goods bought while in Colombia.
