Question

When should I book my travel?

Answer

We suggest going to google flights and tracking round trip flights to Mexico City for that time period. All major airlines (Delta, American & United) fly into MEX but we have also flown with Viva, and Aeromexico (a Delta partner). There might be some great deals coming up especially around Black Friday. We recommend booking hotels or Airbnbs ASAP.

Question

Where should I stay?

Answer

We have hotels listed in the "Travel" section that we suggest based on their locations. If you are wanting to stay in a VRBO, Airbnb or find your own hotel, we suggest staying in the Roma Norte & Condesa areas. They are both very walkable and are filled with local shops, parks, restaurants, & bars. When we have visited, we have stayed in Airbnbs in Roma Norte and found it very central, walkable and easy to get Ubers to/from.

Question

How do I get from the airport to my hotel/Airbnb?

Answer

We use Uber! Make sure you download the app in advance and have your credit card linked to the account. It operates just like it will in the US.

Question

When should I arrive?

Answer

We suggest arriving at least one day early (by Thursday evening) to account for any travel delays during the winter months in the US. We hope that if you can, you come even earlier to explore Mexico City with us!

Question

What will the weekend consist of?

Answer

Please plan for a welcome gathering on Friday evening and the wedding ceremony & reception to begin Saturday afternoon through the night. There is more information & details in the "Schedule" section.

Question

Is transportation provided to the wedding?

Answer

Please plan to use Uber to get to & from the wedding events. Please note: like an big city, traffic will get busier on nights and weekends, please allow for extra time when traveling to the ceremony.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes, you can plan on the welcome party to be festive/cocktail attire and the wedding celebrations on Saturday to be black tie optional/formal attire. That means black Tuxedo or dark suit and tie for men and colorful, long dresses for women. If you are looking for some ideas on what to wear for the wedding ceremony, here is some inspiration: https://www.pinterest.com/atorgers/wedding-ideas/guest-attire/

Question

Answer

Please RSVP no later than January 14, 2026. Any RSVPs not given by then, we will assume you will not be joining us. If something comes up that may change your RSVP, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

Question

Are children welcome?

Answer

While we love your children, they are not invited to wedding activities. We hope this can be a fun getaway for you but if you want them to join you on the trip, please make sure you have arrangements for someone to care for them during the wedding. Thank you so much for understanding.

Question

Can I bring a guest?

Answer

Please refer to your invitation and RSVP for information on additional guest(s) invited. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. We will be happy to clarify.

Question

Do I need a passport?

Answer

Yes. You will need a valid passport in order to travel to Mexico. Please refer to https://uspassportandvisa.org/us-passport/ for receiving a new passport, renewing your passport or other FAQs related to passports.

Question

Do I need a visa to enter Mexico?

Answer

If you are a US citizen, you will not need a visa to enter Mexico. If you are not a US citizen, please refer to Mexico's visa requirements for your country of citizenship.

Question

Do I need to know Spanish?

Answer

Mexico City is one of the worlds largest cities and they are very used to speaking English in most places. However, we do suggest you learn easy phrases and download Google Translate as an app to your phone so you can use that to help communicate if you need to.

Question

Do many places accept credit cards in Mexico City?

Answer

Yes! Most places will accept all major credit cards. We highly suggest having pesos on hand for markets, tipping and street vendors.

Question

What will the weather be in Mexico City?

Answer

Mexico City in February is still in it's dry season. We found the days to be warm, usually between mid-70s to mid-80s, and the evenings to drop to mid 50s to mid-60s. Mexico City has an elevation of 7,340ft (for reference, this is 2,000 ft higher then Denver) so please plan on bringing sunscreen since the sun is much much stronger there. The wedding dinner and reception will be outdoors so please plan accordingly.

Question
