Casa Silencio • Friday, October 24
Buses leave Oaxaca Centro at 2:00 pm
Our wedding ceremony will take place at the extraordinary Casa Silencio, a world-renowned mezcal distillery nestled in the heart of the Oaxacan countryside. Awarded Two MICHELIN Keys for its exceptional craftsmanship and hospitality, this breathtaking venue captures the essence of Oaxaca, rich in tradition, artistry, and natural beauty.
Attire: Creative Black Tie
Dress to impress and express. We want it elevated, beautiful, and celebratory, but not stuffy. No tuxedos needed, just bring your most fabulous self.
We love rich colors that complement the moody, mountainous setting. Think deep earth tones, jewel hues, and dramatic silhouettes under the Oaxacan sky.

COUNTDOWN
ALL THINGS TRAVEL
FLIGHTS
There are select direct flights depending on your origin. Many flights from the United States will first stop in Mexico City, Dallas Fort Worth, or Guadalajara. From there, you can catch a short connecting flight directly to Oaxaca City (OAX).
If you’re coming from Los Angeles, Volaris offers a direct flight to Oaxaca on Wednesdays. This is the fastest option and why we have (optional) festivities starting on Wednesday night.
MAJOR PSA:
Volaris and Viva Aerobus are known to oversell flights, so we strongly urge you to pay extra to reserve your seat when booking. (We learned this the hard way). Download the app, check-in the day before, and plan to arrive at the airport well ahead of your departure time. I'm talking 3 hours MINIMUM, as check-in can be busy and they WILL sell your seat. If you are unable to check-in online the day before the flight make sure you go to the airport extra, extra early. We'd hate for you to miss your flight!
ANOTHER PSA:
Our wedding falls the weekend before Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), the most beautiful and vibrant time in Oaxaca when the city comes alive with celebrations, art, and culture. It’s a unique experience, but it’s also a very busy season. We urge you to book your flights and accommodations well in advance, as demand is high and options will be limited and prices will increase significantly closer to the date.
WHERE TO STAY
Oaxaca's historic center, known as Oaxaca Centro, is a vibrant and walkable area brimming with cultural sites, markets, and restaurants. To fully immerse yourself in the city's charm, we recommend staying in the proximity of the Church of Santo Domingo. One of the most iconic landmarks in the city.
