Frequently Asked Questions
The Wedding
Can I bring my children?
To allow all of our guests to fully relax and enjoy the wedding day, our welcome party and wedding reception will be an adults-only celebration (No children under the age of 12). However, since this is a destination event, you are more than welcome to bring your children (and family/caregivers to help watch them!) for the travel portion of the trip. If you need assistance finding local childcare for the evening, please contact our complimentary concierge and they are happy to arrange vetted and secure childcare.
What is the dress code?
Our wedding dress theme is Formal Paisa Elegance. We encourage our guests to adhere to Black-Tie optional dress code meaning floor-length gowns, suits, and tuxedos (not required, but you can if you want). Think bright colorful spring-time colors. If you have a question regarding this dress code, please reach out
Can I bring a plus one?
We would love to celebrate with everyone, but our venue has a strict capacity limit. Please refer to your formal invitation (to be sent in the future) to see if a plus one was extended to you.
Traveling to Medellín
What is the weather like?
Medellín is known as the "City of Eternal Spring." You can expect daytime highs in the upper 70s to low 80s (°F) and cooler evenings dipping into the 60s. It is very common for the mornings to be warm and sunny followed by an afternoon rain shower. The city sits at an elevation of about 4,900 feet, which keeps the climate very comfortable. You may want to bring a light jacket for the cooler temps at night.
Is Medellín safe for tourists?
Yes, Medellín has transformed significantly and is a popular destination for international travelers and digital nomads. As with visiting any major global city, it’s best to practice common sense: use ride-share apps rather than hailing cabs off the street at night, keep an eye on your belongings in crowded areas, and stick to well-known neighborhoods like El Poblado and Laureles. Two Travel is happy to assist with any travel concerns during your trip.
Logistics & Local Tips
What is the best way to get around the city?
Uber, DiDi and other ride-share apps are highly recommended. They are safe, very affordable, and eliminate any language barrier issues since your destination is already entered. Taxis are also everywhere, but we recommend having your hotel or restaurant call one for you rather than hailing one off the street. Please note it is normal for people to sit in the front passenger seat in ride-shares. Be careful not to slam the delicate car doors!
Do I need to exchange money?
The local currency is the Colombian Peso (COP). Credit cards are widely accepted at most restaurants, hotels, and larger stores. However, it is highly recommended to withdraw some cash from an ATM at the airport or in the city for smaller purchases, tipping, and street vendors.
Passport Expirations
The United States requires that your passport has more than 6 months of validity in order to travel. In this case, if your U.S. Passport expires on or before March 1st, 2028, you must renew your passport as soon as possible to avoid travel delays or denied boarding.
How do I get from the airport to the city?
You will fly into José María Córdova International Airport (MDE), which is about 45 minutes to an hour outside of the city depending on traffic. You can take an official airport taxi, book a private transfer in advance, or use a ride-share app. Two Travel Concierge is happy to arrange your airport transfers for you and your group.
Will my cell phone work in Colombia?
Most major U.S. carriers offer international day passes (usually around $10/day). Alternatively, if your phone is unlocked, you can purchase a local physical SIM card or download an eSIM for cheap and easy data access.
What is the best way to get Colombian currency?
For the best exchange rate, we highly recommend ordering Colombian Pesos (COP) through your local bank 1-2 weeks before your trip. Avoid the currency exchange kiosks at the airport or in Medellín, as they charge high fees and offer poor rates. Having cash ready when you land is perfect for taxis and tips!
(Pro tip: Once in Medellín, you can use a credit card with no foreign transaction fees for almost everything else!)
