What is a guayabera?

While not strictly required to wear a guayabera to the wedding, we recommend wearing a long sleeve shirt made of linen-like material, so that you are not too hot at the wedding.

Question

What is Venezuelan-style Wedding like?

Unlike traditional American weddings, there is no formal sit-down dinner and no assigned seats.

There will be food stations as well, for the guests to eat at the time they prefer.

If you are staying in a hotel, they will arrange for someone to come do your test and will send you the results back within 24h.
