This is entirely up to you though we recommend arriving Wednesday, June 29 and departing Monday, July 4. We are currently coordinating a couple of welcome events beginning the morning of Thursday, June 30. The big day is scheduled for Saturday, July 2 and will run until close to sunrise as Spanish weddings go until late at night! Therefore, we would advise against flying out early on Sunday, July 3. There will also be a goodbye event Sunday evening. The (optional) activities coordinated for the days leading up to the wedding and their prices will be shared on the website once we have a greater sense for who will be joining us for the wedding, but we are hoping to cover a wide array of tastes and expectations! We'd recommend partaking so you can get to see the island as well as get to know the other wedding guests.
Passport: Yes - you will need a valid passport to travel to Spain. *Check the expiration date because certain countries require passports to remain valid for up to 6 months after travel. Also, some airlines do not allow you to board if you do not meet this requirement. **If you need to apply / renew your US passport, please complete this ASAP as routine service processing times are estimated as ~18 weeks (as of July 2021). Visa: We kindly ask all our guests to give ample time to research if your passport requires a visa.
Unfortunately, due to this being an evening wedding we are making it an adults only event with the exception of our immediate family. If anyone needs help making arrangements for child care for the night of the wedding, please reach out so we can assist!
