FAQs

Question

Why are you getting married in Madrid?

Answer

Good question! We have always dreamt of having a destination wedding. Madrid is actually where we met while each of us was studying abroad in Spain in the Spring of 2016 (Lucas in Madrid, Camila in Barcelona). We clearly did not have the best judgment at that time, as that was not when we started dating.

Question

When should I arrive in Madrid?

Answer

If you plan to join us for the Welcome Party on Friday night (9/25/2026), we recommend arriving to Madrid by Friday morning, to allow enough time to comfortably get settled (and maybe take a nap) before the party begins.

Question

Are there any travel requirements to travel to Spain?

Answer

U.S. Citizens and Colombian Citizens typically do not need a tourism visa if your stay is shorter than 90 days. EU Citizens do not need a tourism visa. From any other countries, please check travel requirements. Please be aware of your country’s passport requirement (i.e., must be valid for 3 months beyond the planned departure date).

Yes! Check out the "Hotel & Travel" tab.

Of course. The venue is approximately 30 minutes outside of the city.
