Ximena & Cheves


When we traveled to Antigua Guatemala for New Year’s Eve 2024, we had no idea the trip would shape one of the most special decisions of our lives. As we stood together watching the sun set over the volcanoes, Cheves fell completely in love with the view—the quiet beauty, the feeling of peace, and the breathtaking reminder of how vast and beautiful the world can be. It was in that moment we knew: when the time came, this was where we wanted to say “I do.”

We are beyond excited to invite you to join us in this unforgettable place as we exchange vows surrounded by family, friends, and the stunning volcano backdrop.

Our celebration will begin with a short ceremony filled with music and love. Afterward, we’ll enjoy cocktails and Guatemalan appetizers, followed by a delicious dinner and live music under the stars. Come ready to dance, laugh, and celebrate with us—it’s going to be a night we’ll never forget!

Attire- Please use this day as an opportunity to dress in a way that makes you feel your most beautiful. On this special day, we want you to feel bonita, confident, and absolutely stunning—just as the moment deserves.

Surrounded by the people we love the most, Ximena and Cheves invite you to celebrate their wedding day.

How do I get to Antigua Guatemala?

Antigua is about one hour from Guatemala City’s main airport, La Aurora International Airport (GUA). The best and safest way to get there is by using Uber, which is a reliable, easy-to-book option commonly used by travelers. We recommend only using Uber for safety and convenience. We are also working on coordinating a shuttle bus option for guests arriving on Friday and Saturday—if you are interested contact Ximena for details!

Do I need a passport or visa to travel to Guatemala??

Yes, all international guests will need a valid passport to enter Guatemala. U.S. passport holders do not require a visa for stays of up to 90 days. Just make sure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates!

Is it safe to travel to Guatemala?

Absolutely! Guatemala is full of friendly, welcoming people. Like with any international travel, it’s normal to feel a bit nervous—but we encourage you to relax and enjoy the beauty around you. Just keep your valuables secure and, in Guatemala City, avoid using your phone on the street or in the car. Antigua Guatemala is very safe, and you’ll find it to be a peaceful, tourist-friendly town where you can enjoy your time with ease. Just stay aware of your surroundings, and you’ll have a wonderful experience!)

Can I drink the tap water in Guatemala?

It’s best to stick to bottled or filtered water while in Guatemala. Most hotels and restaurants provide safe drinking water, and we’ll make sure there’s plenty of clean water available throughout the wedding events too!

What should I pack for the trip?

Antigua in March experiences warm days and cooler evenings, with daytime highs ranging from 77°F to 80°F, and nighttime temperatures that can drop as low as 60°F. We recommend bringing light clothing for the daytime, a light jacket or sweater for the evenings, and comfortable walking shoes (cobblestone streets!). Don’t forget sunscreen, sunglasses, and your outfit for the celebration!

What currency is used in Guatemala, and how should I handle money while I’m there?

Guatemala uses the Guatemalan Quetzal (GTQ). U.S. dollars are not widely accepted, so it’s a good idea to exchange some money upon arrival or withdraw quetzales from an ATM. You can exchange U.S. dollars for quetzales at the airport, which is convenient if you'd like to have local currency right away. Credit cards are accepted in most hotels and tourist spots, but it’s helpful to have cash for markets, taxis, and smaller vendors. Be sure to notify your bank of international travel before your trip!

We hope you’ll join us on this special day.
