What to wear

Attire

Wear your best. Feel comfortable.
If you can't dance in it, leave it at home.

💃 Ladies

Think elegant — long gown, flowy dress, a jumpsuit, or a fun long skirt. Whatever makes you feel like the best version of yourself. In Colombia, people dress UP for weddings — heels, color, accessories, the works. Lean into it. Color is encouraged, black is forgiven, and comfort is non-negotiable. The dance floor is not optional, so make sure your outfit moves with you.

And yes — changing into comfortable shoes or sneakers for the dance floor is absolutely acceptable. We want you dancing, not suffering.

If you're joining us for the Catholic ceremony, we kindly ask for a modest cover-up. All the glamour you can handle is welcome at the reception.

🎮 Gentlemen

Think sharp. Think dapper. Think 'Damn, I look good.' No excuses, no half efforts. Suit up! That said, if I hear one complaint about the inability to dance due to uncomfortable shoes or sore feet, I will personally escort you to the dance floor in your socks. Wear sneakers if you must.

Getting here

Travel & Accommodations

✈ Book Flights Early

Fly into José María Córdova Airport (MDE). July is peak season and July 20 is Colombian National Independence Day. We recommend booking at least 4–6 months in advance. Miami (MIA) is the easiest hub with the most direct flight options. Other direct routes available from New York (JFK), Fort Lauderdale (FLL), Orlando (MCO), Dallas (DFW), and Los Angeles (LAX). Check Avianca, American, JetBlue, and United for the best options.

Worth noting: Medellín has been receiving more visitors than ever. Immigration lines at MDE can range anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours, especially on weekends. Plan accordingly and don't book a tight connection.

✦ Room Blocks

We've secured room blocks at the following hotels. Booking codes coming soon — watch your email. Do not wait on pricing.

  • Novotel El Tesoro

    A hotel in one of the biggest malls in the city, so everything you need without ever leaving the premises: restaurants, bars, shopping, doctors if you want to know what quality health care looks like, and views that will make you forget you're in a mall. Right in the heart of the city energy. For those who want convenience, comfort, and a little bit of everything.

  • Hotel Lagoon Llanogrande

    Skip the city, wake up to the mountains. Hotel Lagoon is close to the airport and minutes from the venue, perfect if you're flying in, showing up, and flying out. Nature, tranquility, and rural vibes.

  • Hotel 3

    TBD — good things come to those who wait. Check back soon.

✦ Airport Transfer

The airport is 45 minutes from the city, 20 minutes from the venue. When you exit arrivals, people will offer you rides. Smile, say 'no gracias,' and walk to the official taxi counter inside the terminal. Flat rate, no drama. Private transfers can also be pre-arranged — we recommend sorting this before you land. We will provide some contacts in the near future.

Things to Do in Medellín

Neighborhood
El Poblado
Your home base. Tree-lined streets, great restaurants, rooftop bars, and walkability. Parque El Poblado is the social hub — sit, people-watch, order a tinto.
Experience
Metro Cable to Parque Arví
Ride the cable car up through the comunas and into a cloud forest. Breathtaking views, fresh air, and a full-on nature escape above the city.
Day trip
Guatapé
1.5 hours away. Climb El Peñol, explore the colorful lakeside town, take a boat tour. Go early, come back tired and happy.
Food & Local
La Buena Mesa
A beloved spot in Envigado for traditional Antioquian food done right. The kind of place locals take their families on Sundays. Go hungry.
Shopping
El Tesoro & Viva Envigado
Two of Medellín's best malls, both in Envigado. El Tesoro has stunning views from the food court. Viva is more local and very walkable.
Day trip
Santa Fe de Antioquia
A colonial gem about 2 hours away. Cobblestone streets, whitewashed buildings, mango vendors on every corner, and a pace of life that will slow your heart rate instantly.
Food & nightlife
Laureles & Envigado
More local, less touristy than Poblado. Laureles for neighborhood restaurants and coffee shops. Envigado for Sunday sancocho and the feeling that you actually live here.
Food & Drinks
What to Eat & Drink
Bandeja paisa — Luke's favorite. It's enormous. It's the point.

Aguardiente — the national spirit. Anise-flavored. Go slow.

Tinto — small black coffee. Order it everywhere. It is perfect.

Arepas — with everything, at all times, no debate.
A love letter to our less-traveled guests

Don't Be a Gringo

Colombia is fun and safe, but as a tourist make sure to pack your common sense.

Friend. Very Medellín. Use wisely.
Después regreso
"I'll come back later" — your exit strategy
Una cuota
One installment — say this at any card machine
¿Quiere incluir el servicio?
Do you want to include the tip?
💸 Money & Cash
Tip is usually included. They'll ask "¿Quiere incluir el servicio?" — just say sí or no.
Credit cards are widely accepted. When asked "¿Cuántas cuotas?" (how many installments?) just say "Una." You may be asked to sign the receipt — totally normal.
No need to carry more than $200,000 COP in cash at a time. Bancolombia ATMs are your friend.
Agree on a price before purchasing any good or service. Gringo tax is something we don't recommend experiencing. If the price doesn't sound right, "I'll come back later" or "I'll think about it" are great ways to get out of it.
Don't flash it. Leave fancy jewelry at the hotel. Look like you belong.
🚗 Getting Around
Uber works great in Medellín but lives in a legal grey zone. It's not officially regulated, which means drivers keep a low profile and taxi drivers are not fans. When your ride arrives, sit in the front seat like you know the person, avoid holding your phone up with the app visible, and don't say 'Uber' out loud near taxis. Beyond that, it works exactly like you'd expect — reliable, trackable, and the easiest way to get around the city. We recommend Uber Comfort for the best experience. Don't forget to ask your driver to keep the windows up and the air conditioning on, and always track your ride on your own maps app.
InDriver is a great alternative. You name your price. Download it before you arrive.
The Metro is great. Clean, safe, cheap. Use it.
For taxis: agree on the fare before you get in, or make sure the meter is on — and always follow the route on your maps app.
🧠 Common Sense (That Is Worth Going Over)
Keep your windows up in traffic. Motorcyclists have very fast hands and very little shame.
Don't walk off with strangers. No matter how beautiful they are!
Avoid dark alleys. No explanation needed.
Don't accept drinks, cigarettes, or candy from strangers. You are not five, but the rule still applies — arguably more so now.
Don't look lost. Walk with purpose, head up, eyes forward. You know exactly where you're going. (You don't. That's fine. Fake it.)
Pickpockets exist everywhere in the world, Medellín included. Keep your phone and belongings close — on your lap, in your bag, within reach.
