CHILDREN

We welcome children at the ceremony and reception, but we understand parents may enjoy their evening more child-free. Spanish and English speaking childcare will be provided within the hotel for the evening, with space for smaller ones to sleep.

GIFTS

The best gift of all is your attendance, and we truly appreciate the distances being travelled to make that happen. If you insist on giving us something we would welcome cash (lluvia de sobres), which will be put towards our honeymoon.

Hotel Information

Cartagena has multiple accommodation options for all budgets and tastes, from beach-front to colonial boutique. The wedding festivities are all based within the Old City, but local taxis are plentiful and affordable. Our top 3 recommendations are:

Bondo Estudio

We will be staying here when in Cartagena (except the wedding night). The Serenata will also be here.

Casa Dominica

La Dominica is perfect for group trips of 20 people max. It has three floors, nine bedrooms with their own en-suite. The rooftop has a very nice pool and beautiful view of Cartagena.

View

Hotel Charleston Santa Teresa

The hotel where the wedding reception will take place. Great location within the old city.

Travel Information

The nearest airport is Cartagena Rafael Núñez Airport. Most flights to Cartagena will require a transfer in Bogota, unless flying from the USA.

Taxis in Cartagena are plentiful and affordable, but most will only take cash. You can book through the apps InDriver (cash only) and Uber (recommended).

Our Story

After 6 months as friends, 42 months as partners, 12 months apart, another 12 living together, and 14 months engaged, Ale and Tom, a couple of opposites who complement each other, will celebrate their love in a wedding that transcends the pandemic, distance, and adversities. With distinct personalities—Ale, forgetful and a diva; Tom, shy and chivalrous—they have forged a bond that has led them to be their best selves together. Despite cultural and linguistic challenges, the love they share invites them to commit for a lifetime. Welcome to their love story.
