La Recepción - The Reception

We’re so excited to celebrate this chapter of our lives in a place that already feels like home to us. Our wedding is best described as a family elopement with open hearts, rooted in the beauty of Mexico and the traditions we love. We’ll exchange vows during an intimate ceremony, followed by a magical dinner reception filled with a serenade, local folklore, and a celebration that honors our commitment in a way that feels unforgettable and deeply meaningful. Our immediate family will be staying at the estate where both the ceremony and dinner reception will take place. We are also extending an invitation to a small circle of friends who would like to travel, witness our vows, and celebrate alongside us. There will be no traditional large reception or formal party. Instead, this gathering is centered on presence, connection, and sharing a magical moment with those closest to us which is why your presence will mean the world. Adults Only Celebration While we truly love the little ones in our lives, our wedding celebration will be an adults only event. The only children in attendance will be those participating in the ceremony. We hope this allows everyone to relax, celebrate, and enjoy the evening with us. Thank you so much for understanding and helping us make the day special.

Our Wedding

This was the day it all started. I had enjoyed one too many Bellinis not drunk, just tipsy enough to be bold. The Universe, and our bartender, Eduardo, did the rest when we sat next to each other at the bar at Shooters. While the spark was there, what followed was something even better. We built a friendship first. One rooted in laughter, easy conversation, and genuine connection. Looking back, that friendship became the strongest foundation for everything that came next.

The Day We Met 07.23.17

This is when Dwayne casually decided to set the bar forever. He whisked me off to a local airport so I could fly a private plane, all while he sat there holding my champagne.What I didn’t know at the time was that he had originally planned to take me to iFly because I’d mentioned wanting to do it. When he realized it was fully booked that day, he didn’t pivot, panic, or reschedule. He chartered a plane instead.That was the moment I learned two things. One, this man listens. Two, when Plan A doesn’t work, he upgrades it. Prince Charming energy with a little Fifty Shades confidence. Win Win.

Our Official First Date 11.24.17

This was the first of many surprise adventures. Dwayne took me to New Orleans, a city I had never been to and one that happened to be his teenage playground. We rang in the New Year together in 2018, completely unaware that this trip was the beginning of a lifetime of exploring the world side by side.In his excitement to pull off the perfect surprise, he forgot one small detail. To tell me to pack a coat. New Orleans greeted us with a very humbling 34 degree welcome.Somehow, in true Dwayne fashion, he saved the day by finding a chariot biker who wrapped us in a blanket and pedaled us back to our hotel as all the streets were closed to vehicles due to the parade. Teeth chattering, laughter uncontrollable, and frozen smiles that turned into one of our favorite memories.

First Trip of Many 01.01.18

In 2020, while the world faced uncertainty, we found something unexpected… time together.That May, my son, Cristian Chavez, was set to graduate from Florida State University. Instead of celebrating in the usual way, he came back home as everything began to shut down. What could have been a disappointing and uncertain moment quickly turned into one of the most meaningful seasons of our lives.With nowhere to rush off to, we were given the gift of simply being together. During that time, Dwayne and Cris had the opportunity to truly get to know each other. What started as new introductions quickly grew into a genuinely deep bond, as they discovered how much they had in common.Those months became filled with conversations, laughter, shared meals, and a sense of connection that might not have happened otherwise. It brought the three of us closer than ever and created the foundation of the family we are today.It wasn’t the year we expected, but it became a chapter we will always be grateful for.

Affordable Suits? They're a Click Away

Definitely not the photo above, but one of our favorite trips to CDMX during Día de los Muertos.We invite you to dress in a way that feels comfortable, elegant, and true to you. Think garden elegance with a celebratory touch. Light fabrics, soft or earthy tones, subtle florals, and relaxed sophistication feel right for the setting.Please dress for an outdoor ceremony and dinner. Comfortable footwear is recommended for stone pathways and garden grounds.Daytime temperatures are typically in the low to mid 70s Fahrenheit, with evenings cooling down into the 40s. We recommend bringing a wrap, jacket, or layer to transition comfortably into the evening.Most importantly, wear something that allows you to enjoy the evening, move freely, and celebrate with us.

Dress Code

If you’re turning this into a mini vacation and arriving a few days early, which we highly recommend, be sure to check out our Things To Do tab. We’ve shared our favorite suggestions for restaurants, sights, and places to explore in Mexico City proper to help you make the most of your time there before the wedding!

Recommended Airport

For travel, we recommend flying into Mexico City International Airport Benito Juárez. It’s the most convenient option with the widest range of flight times and airline choices, especially if you plan to spend a few days exploring before heading to the wedding location. Travel documents to have on hand- A valid passport. Make sure it does not expire within six months of your travel dates.- A return or onward ticket, as this is sometimes requested at immigration.- Your accommodation details, including hotel or Airbnb address.- While visas are not required for US citizens traveling to Mexico for tourism, always double check current entry requirements before you travel. Helpful travel tips for Mexico- Bring both a credit card and a debit card. Credit cards are widely accepted in major cities, but cash is still useful for taxis, tips, and smaller spots.- Use Uber or authorized taxis when possible, especially at the airport.- Keep a copy of your passport saved on your phone, just in case.- Pack comfortable walking shoes. Mexico City is very walkable and you will want to explore. Airlines flying to Mexico City from the United States - <a href="https://www.aa.com/homePage.do" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">American Airlines</a>- <a href="https://www.delta.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Delta Airlines</a>- <a href="https://www.united.com/en/us/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">United Airlines</a>- <a href="https://www.southwest.com/?clk=GNAVHOMELOGO" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Southwest Airlines</a>- <a href="https://www.jetblue.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">JetBlue Airlines</a> We’ll most likely be flying American Airlines ourselves and arriving a few days early. Think honeymoon before the wedding. Why not start the celebration early.

Recommended Transport to San Miguel de Allende

For transportation, we highly recommend using BajioGo as your primary option for getting to San Miguel de Allende. We will be using this service on November 5th leaving from Mexico City International Airport Benito Juarez. BajioGo offers reliable, comfortable shuttle service with professional drivers who know the route well. It’s an easy, stress free way to travel, especially if you’d rather not rent a car. The ride is scenic and takes about 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on traffic. The approximate cost is $35 to $45 USD per person one way (please be sure to contact them for exact pricing) for a shared shuttle, making it a great balance of comfort and value. They also offer private transfers if you prefer a more personalized option. It’s a popular choice for travelers heading to San Miguel, and one we feel confident recommending.

Lodging & Car Service

Mexico has long been one of our favorite places to travel, explore, and create unforgettable experiences together. Over the years, we’ve visited many cities, each one leaving us with memories we’ll carry for a lifetime. As our wedding date gets closer, we’ll continue sharing some of our favorite things to do in both Mexico City and San Miguel de Allende. From cultural experiences to food, history, and moments that simply stay with you, there is so much to enjoy in both places. If your schedule allows, we highly recommend giving yourself a little extra time before or after our wedding to explore on your own. It’s a beautiful opportunity to slow down, discover something new, and create memories of your own while you’re here.

This iconic event features elaborate floats, giant puppets, music, and performers, celebrating life and honoring loved ones. See Lodging &amp; Car Service tab for where to stay in Mexico City. We’re treating this as part of our pre-wedding experience and would love for you to join if you’re up for it. We’ll share more details as we get closer, but feel free to explore and plan ahead if this sounds like something you’d enjoy.

Mexico City - Cuidad de Mexico 

If you’re looking for a high energy, unforgettable night in Mexico City, this is the place. Rosa Negra Polanco is part dinner, part celebration.

You’ll ride with experienced guides, even if you’re a beginner, and feel welcomed into the culture, traditions, and everyday life of the people who call this region home. The day ends around a fire, learning to make traditional dishes, sharing stories, and enjoying food made with heart. This is the kind of experience that feels personal, meaningful, and unforgettable. Perfect for travelers who want something authentic, hands on, and deeply connected to Mexico’s culture. Guides, Luis, Aurelio, and Camilo instantly became family!

CDMXEXPERIENCE Tours

Visiting Teotihuacan is an unforgettable experience that goes far beyond sightseeing. Walking among the pyramids, climbing ancient stone paths, and standing where civilizations once gathered creates a powerful connection to history, culture, and tradition. Exploring the site with Gerardo as your guide makes the experience even more meaningful. His deep knowledge, passion, and storytelling bring Teotihuacan to life, weaving together its history, rituals, and mysteries in a way that feels immersive and personal. With his guidance, the visit becomes a living journey through time and one of the most impactful experiences you can have in Mexico City.

There’s no smoking anywhere in the house – only outside by the lower pool area. (But please close the doors to the pool room if you smoke). As an FYI, San Miguel de Allende just passed a law there is no smoking in any public space, indoors or out. So, no smoking on sidewalks, parks, etc.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

*VERY IMPORTANT* Use only green and white taxis when getting around town. Some white and/or black cars with taxi signs and lights will try to pick up Americans. Many of these cars are scammers. They “help” you out of the car and end up pick pocketing you. Do not use these cars for any reason. To go into town: It is easiest to get into town by turning left out of our house and going to the end of the street and turning right. Just follow that street down. You will come through the arches of Atascadero and go straight and down on Santo Domingo. The street name becomes Correo right by the bell towers (on the left). About 10 minutes of walking from our house you will look up and see the center of town with the Parroquia. (About two blocks down on the left hand side is an amazing fresh bread place Panio – everything in there was perfection). To come home, into the green and white taxis and anywhere from the center to our home is 80 pesos (approximately $5 USD). Don’t over tip the taxis as it hurts the locals (taxis won’t pick them up but only foreigners). We give 90 pesos total which we were told was fair (still at $5 USD). It’s a good idea to take note of the number on the side of the taxis in case you forget your phone or items in the taxi, you can contact the main phone number and give them the # of the taxi. Grocery Shopping: There are two fabulous grocery stores across from one another you can taxi to/from in 6 minutes: <a href="https://www.lacomer.com.mx/lacomer/#!/home?succId=287&amp;succFmt=100#!%2Fhome%3FsuccId=317&amp;succFmt=100" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">La Comer</a> CARRETERA A CELAYA 2, FRACC LA LEJONA 2DA SECCION , 37765 SAN MIGUEL DE ALLENDE, SAN MIGUEL DE ALLENDE, GUANAJUATOPhone: 01 800 3777 333Horario de atenciónLunes - Domingo 07:00 a 22:00 hrs and <a href="https://www.citymarket.com.mx/comprasbiencitymarket/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">City Market</a> Salida a Celaya no. 82, La Lejona, CP. 37765, San Miguel de Allende, GuanajuatoHorarios 7:00 am a 22:00 hrs.

If you want local there is <a href="https://www.soriana.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Soriana San Miguel</a> Blvd. Acapulco 121, Hacienda de San Miguel, 67117 (closes by 11pm) by the Liverpool store behind Atascadero. This is the closest large grocery store to our house. If it’s during regular work days for the staff, you can ask Juan Carlos to take you there in my car onsite. Saturday mornings on Ancha San Antonio they have a great market right beside Mercado Sano (food, arts, crafts, etc.) Dentro de Mercado Sano, Ancha de San Antonio 123, San Antonio, 37750 San Miguel de Allende, Gto., Mexico Getting Pesos: There are many banks in Centro (by the main church called the Parroquia) as well as down the hill to the town from our home. Santandar works with BOfA, there’s Chase and Citibank as well. When getting pesos, accept the fee but decline their exchange rate. You get much better exchange rates from your home bank than here.

Airbnb Owner's Restaurant Recommendations

Restaurants: (Honestly, there are way too many to list - when walking around town, look in ALL the doors and there are always new places opening. There are all kinds of food and it's all good) Book online by OpenTable OR call/walk in. •	Casa Nostra Rooftop and interior spaces. Chef Marcos is one of the best in town. Incredible food. Rooftop views are wonderful. •	Terraza 48 Rooftop w/ one of the best views in the city and great food. Hip and sleep. Reservations highly recommended, it sells out. Good for sunsets. C •	Tostévere Cozy and intimate nook for a dinner. You feel like you are in someone’s hip living room. •	Pirules Back in the garden of the Rosewood Hotel, fresh organic food with a wonderful menu•	Il Posadito great Mexican food to the right of the Parroquia. •	Don Taco Tequila Vegan tacos and a sophisticated array of vegan Mexican dishes. Very popular with locals and tourists. Small cozy location. No reservations and sometimes a wait, so put your name down and go have a drink somewhere and they will phone you. The drinks here are amazing and sometimes have live music. We loved the rose margarita. Also, they deliver and do takeout. •	Áperi (Chef’s Table) The food is an 8 out of 10, but the chef’s table experience is amazing. You sit in the kitchen and can watch them cook the food. I wouldn’t come but for the chef’s table. It can sit up to 8 but they will take parties as small as 5. It is 8 courses, each with a tequila or wine parring. I believe about $120 USD. It includes very high-end liquor, so a pretty good deal. The setting is presentation is world class. The food is very good but not amazing. Reservations required. •	Quince Hip rooftop very nice at sunset for drinks. Reservations needed on weekends. Live DJs and performers. Very amazing view of the main church. •	Mama Mia Great food, live music, great cocktails, ask for the back courtyard •	El Tupinamba This Spanish restaurant has a side room (left side when you walk inside with a neon light) that plays afterhours techno. You must enter by 1am, and then they close the door and windows and play techno until 4-5am. Very fun hip crowd in a very small but chic setting, and high-end sound system. •	Bovine. In Centro, great veggies and wonderful meat dishes. Seafood is good too and the drinks are wonderful. •	Momma. Great Italian. •	The Restaurant Known as one of the best in SMA. High end Mexican/fusion food. •	El Correo Simple classic mexican food - great tortilla soup and cheap •	Estoril Variety of fusion choices •	Maria Xoconostle My favorite place to grab lunch in a courtyard right around the corner from the Parroquia •	Hecho en Mexico Great variety of Mexican cuisine, good drinks and cheap Coffee/Brunch: •	Lavanda Café Known as the best coffee in the city. They grew their coffee with fresh lavender (apparently people love it - I don’t drink coffee).•	Café Muro Brunch spot with lots of coffee options in a sit down indoor/outdoor •	Rsetting. Rustica Great food, casual•	Inside Cafe Wonderful brunch food and casual•	Cafe y Churreria San Agustin OK, if you're in the mood, best churros and fresh! •	Porfirio (new churro place in centro - great churros and coffees/chai) Bars/Views: Luna Rooftop Fabulous views of the city from the rooftop of the Rosewood Hotel - wouldn't eat dinner there (overpriced and just average food), but cocktails with appetizers and that view is worth it - you'll probably need reservations Gamma Only gay bar in town but attracts a mixed crowd of hipsters (not just gays). Ran by a lesbian couple. Drag night on Tuesdays is very fun. If you arrive at 9pm you can get a table and the drag show starts at 10pm. Popular on Fridays as well for a more traditional club scene. Yintony De Tanqueray Hip bar attached to Hotel Live Aqua, which is probably the “coolest” hotel in the city. This is the outdoor gin bar, and the most casual of the 4 bars at the hotel. They also have an indoor bar for tequila and whiskey, and two boozy restaurants. Heads up it's full of tourists from Mexico City. Berlin Bar and Bistro Good food and drinks and a cool environment. La Casa Dragones Great tequila tasting bar Shops/Activities: •	Walking through town there are literally hundreds of boutiques and galleries for every taste and price. •	Fabrica la Aurora. A must see. About 100 or so galleries in an old fabric factory. Some are better than others, but you can literally spend hours here. The building itself is very cool. A bit of a maze to walk through. Has a coffee shop and bar inside. Good for gifts. •	Sala de Murales Siqueiros in the Cultural Museum •	Rosewood Hotel. The physical building is opulent and has many bars and restaurants, including the famed rooftop bar. One of the other things the hotel offers is unique events. Check the event calendar or book an experience. They offer over 50 experiences, from learning about fresh local ingredients to art classes to hot air ballooning. •	Casa Michoacana Gallery. Somewhere between an art gallery and a home decor store. High-end but reasonable. They have a small hip jewelry store on the side of the complex that had unique accessories. •	Mercado de Artesanos. Hundreds of small independent artisan stores with ceramics, jewelry, baskets, weaving, art, etc.
