Ceremony Date

Our wedding ceremony will be a truly special moment, officiated by our dear friend Oliver Stroh. Taking place at Villa Masia Casanova, the ceremony will be held on the evening of Thursday the 7th. There will be a cocktail hour, followed by dinner, and the after party is still up in the air (let us know your ideas!).

Passports

To travel to Spain, all U.S. citizens need a valid passport with at least three months of validity beyond the intended date of departure. If your passport is set to expire soon or you don't have one, it's important to start the process early. You can apply for or renew your passport through the U.S. Department of State's Passport Services. Routine processing typically takes 8–11 weeks, while expedited service (for an additional fee) takes approximately 5–7 weeks. We recommend checking your passport status and applying as soon as possible to avoid any last-minute delays.

In addition, TSA PreCheck will allow you to skate through security with much less hustle & bustle. This application process can be completed at various locations for ~$78 (some credit cards include this in their benefits). If you do this, don’t forget to include your number on your flight booking information.

What to wear

For the day of the wedding, keep in mind that August in Spain brings warm Mediterranean sunshine, with temperatures likely in the mid to high 80s°. The ceremony and reception will have an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere, so we recommend dressing in light, breathable fabrics like linen or cotton to stay cool and comfortable. Think airy dresses, summer suits, and comfortable shoes suited for an outdoor setting. Be prepared for the sunshine with sunglasses or a stylish hat, and don’t forget sunscreen! We want you to feel your best while enjoying the beauty of the Spanish summer
