Bienvenidos
We're so happy you'll be part of our wedding weekend in Oaxaca — a city of hand-painted courtyards, mezcal poured slowly, and centuries of history tucked into every doorway. Below you'll find where we're staying, where to eat, and a few of our favorite corners of the city to explore. This page will keep growing as our plans come together, so check back for updates.

Where to Stay
We'd love for our guests to stay together — this is also where the reception will be held.
Once the Convent of Santa Catalina de Siena, this hotel sits inside a beautifully restored colonial landmark just steps from the Zócalo — tiled courtyards, quiet gardens, and the kind of history you can walk through. It's the perfect home base for the weekend.
