We really want our guest to enjoy the wedding and not have to worry about navigating through the city. Therefore, we will be providing a shuttle service to and from the Hacienda from 2 main pick-up locations in Downtown/Centro. We do not recommending a car rental for transportation. Details to come.
Keep in mind that the summer heat is kicked up a notch in April, so please dress in light attire, maybe linen, light colors suit jackets not required for the men, we'd love to see the gentlemen in a traditional Guayabera. Ladies, our best friend materials in the heat are silk, linen and cotton and heels are fine, you will not be walking through any grassy areas, so your heels will not be digging into the ground.
TWO ANSWERS: Short Stay: Stay at the Hacienda, for a relaxing short getaway with first-class amenities. Hotel includes a cenote, 2 pools, gourmet restaurant and is close to the airport and Downtown/Centro. Longer Stay: Stay in Downtown/Centro in the heart of the action for a few days. Plenty of hotels, & Airbnbs to choose from with everything in walking distance. Or you can split up your stay with a combination of both, which would give you both of best worlds.
The ceremony will be the most covered part of the evening, the cocktail hour will be open air and the reception open are as well with a roof.
The ceremony will be held at Hacienda Santa Cruz in the mid-seventeenth century chapel. Once you arrive at the Hacienda, you will not need drive.
