Please RSVP on our wedding website under the tab "RSVP".
November to April is typically the dry season- you can expect sunny weather almost every day.
Guests are welcome to make any arrangements they wish! There are many hotels, hostels and Airbnb Rentals throughout the whole city. If you choose NOT the stay at Porta Hotel, please make sure you are there for the day of the wedding in order to secure transportation to the venue.
It is not necessary to rent a car in Guatemala. Antigua is a very walkable city and has Taxis, Ubers and Tuks Tuks throughout. If you choose to rent a car please be prepared to find parking in Antigua.
Our wedding coordinator will help arrange transportation from the Airport to Antigua- more details to follow as we get closer to the wedding!
Yes. Everyone is responsible for booking their own airfare.
No, it's not recommended to drink the tap water in Guatemala. It's best to stick with bottled water or purified water while you are there.
Yes! There will be transportation provided to the venue from the La Porta Hotel.
SHOES: Pack comfortable walking shoes! Antigua is an old, colonial city that has not been updated over the years. The roads and sidewalks are all cobblestone...and not the tiny cute kind of cobblestone...big and cumbersome cobblestone. CLIMATE/CLOTHES: November- April is the dry season. It can get as high as 80 degrees during the day and low around 60 degrees at night. Bring layers!
All U.S. citizens must use a valid passport when traveling between Guatemala and the United States. Passports must have at least 6 months validity or risk getting turned away by the airline or by immigration.
Currency in Antigua is called a Quetzal. The standard exchange rate to US dollar is 7.5 to 1. While US dollars are widely accepted throughout Antigua, it is not an official currency so there are places that will not accept it. If you want to use US dollars, they will need to be NEW and FRESH bills. If you plan to use Quetzals, our recommendation is to take money out of an ATM when you arrive in Antigua. If you exchange at the airport, you will lose a fair amount of money in the exchange rate. (REMINDER: call your debit and credit card banks before traveling to alert them of your use in Guatemala!)
