Our wedding will take place on January 10, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. at Club Campestre de Pereira in Colombia—a special place close to Mariana’s heart, where she spent much of her time growing up and learned how to play tennis.

The dress code for the wedding is guayaberas for men and elegant & festive attire for women. For inspiration and more details, check out our Style & Glam page.

The ceremony will be held outdoors, and the reception will take place in a covered but open-air space—allowing you to enjoy Pereira’s fresh and beautiful evening weather. Pereira has an ideal climate year-round, with average highs around 80°F and lows around 63°F.

Yes—Colombia is safe, especially in the areas we’ll be visiting. Just like anywhere else in the world, there are parts of town that are better than others, and we’ll be spending our time in the best and safest areas of Pereira and Cartagena. Colombia sometimes gets a bad reputation because of its history, but so much has changed. It’s a beautiful, welcoming country, and we’re excited for you to see it through our eyes.

For Pereira, the closest airport is Matecaña International Airport (PEI). It’s just a short drive from the city and very convenient for our wedding events.

We’re coordinating with the hotels to arrange shuttles at specific times and will update the site as details become available. In the meantime, Uber is a more reliable option than local cabs.

For the wedding and activities, pack light, comfortable clothing for the day events (remember, there will be golf, tennis, soccer, and padel on Sunday for anyone interested in the sports). Be sure to check the Style & Glam page for the wedding dress code. Don’t forget swimwear for pool or beach time, sunscreen, and a hat for sunny days. Colombia's evenings can become cooler, so it’s best to bring an extra layer if needed. Pereira has an ideal climate year-round, with average highs around 80°F and lows around 63°F. Cartagena ranges from 88°F and lows around 76°F but can be windy at times.

In Colombia, it’s important to be polite and respectful. Colombians are known for their warmth and hospitality. When greeting, it’s common to offer a handshake or a light kiss on the cheek among friends. Be mindful of local traditions, and enjoy the vibrant culture!

Colombia uses Type A and Type B plugs, and the standard voltage is 110V with a frequency of 60Hz, similar to the U.S. If you're traveling from abroad, check if you need a plug adapter or voltage converter for your electronics.

Visa requirements vary depending on your nationality. Please check with your local embassy or consulate for the most up-to-date information. U.S. citizens are not required to have a visa for temporary visits. Please remember you will need a valid passport!

In Pereira, many locals only speak Spanish. If you need transportation beyond the provided shuttle, we recommend using Uber — it’s cashless, and minimal communication is required beyond a few basic pleasantries. It’s also a good idea to download Google Translate to help with any language barriers. In Cartagena, English is more commonly spoken since it’s a popular tourist destination that attracts visitors from around the world. Still, having Google Translate handy can be helpful — or you can brush up on your Spanish with Duolingo before the trip!

Different carriers offer different plans and policies. Please check with your provider to understand what your plan includes and whether any add-ons are available. Alternatively, you can purchase international eSIMs online or through your phone's app store.
