Question

Is Guadalajara a city worth seeing?

Answer

ABSOLUTELY! Guadalajara is the capital of the state of Jalisco (the best state in Mexico) and the home of Tequila, Mariachi and delicious food. Its a must see if you want to experience true Mexican culture.

Question

How do I get to and from the venue?

Answer

There will be a shuttle from the Riu Plaza Hotel to and from the wedding (it will end late!). If the times don't suit you, driving yourself, Uber or taxi is always an option. But be aware that the venue is about 40 minutes outside the city, so be sure to book them in advance. Let us know if you need any help with this!

What is the weather like in Guadalajara in February?

Answer

Mexican weather is usually always pretty mild and warm during the day in February. It can get up into the 80's during the day, but can get chillier at night, so bring layers and something to cover up if you get chilly!
