The wedding ceremony will start promptly at 4:00 PM, so we ask that everyone arrive early to be seated.

After the ceremony, guests will make an eight-minute walk to the reception venue, taking in the sights of the historic Governor's Palace and the Macroplaza Christmas festival. Please keep the walk in mind when selecting your shoes.

For guests staying in our hotel blocks, complimentary shuttles will be provided to the church before the ceremony and back to the hotels following the reception.

For guests arriving by car, La Casona de Santa Lucía has valet parking available, including during the church ceremony.

Getting around
From the airport

Uber and Didi both work at Monterrey airport (MTY). Plan for a 35–55 minute ride to your hotel (MX$450–800, roughly US$25–45), depending on traffic and which Safi you're at. One tip: request the ride after you've exited the arrivals hall, not while you're still inside, so the driver doesn't arrive before you reach the curb. If you'd rather not use an app, official fixed-fare taxis are sold at a counter inside arrivals.

Returns from the reception

Multiple shuttle return times will be available throughout the evening (schedule TBD). Uber is available for guests who prefer to travel outside of the complimentary shuttle times. You can also coordinate with your hotel's front desk to book direct transportation.

What to do

Around the city

For hiking spots like La Huasteca, Chipinque, and La Estanzuela, arrange round-trip transport through your hotel concierge in advance. If you need help, reach out to our wedding planners at Dol Weddings on WhatsApp: +52 81 2622 9516.

La Huasteca
La Huasteca
Dramatic rock formations in Santa Catarina. Sunrise or sunset is best, and minutes from downtown.
Parque Chipinque
Parque Ecológico Chipinque
A natural reserve in the Sierra Madre Oriental. Trails, panoramic views, and the cleanest air in the city.
La Estanzuela
Parque La Estanzuela
A protected canyon south of the city with a shaded creek-side trail and small waterfalls. Best in the morning, comfortable shoes recommended.
Paseo Santa Lucía
Paseo Santa Lucía
A 2.5 km river walk from the Macroplaza to Parque Fundidora. Boat rides at dusk, lit bridges at night, and it runs right past Casona de Santa Lucía.
MARCO
MARCO
Museo de Arte Contemporáneo. Excellent rotating exhibitions in a Ricardo Legorreta building right on the Macroplaza. Closed Mondays.
Estadio Universitario · Tigres UANL
Tigres UANL
This is a Tigres household. The Liga MX Liguilla runs through mid-December, so if Tigres reach the semifinal or final, there could be a match at El Volcán the week of the wedding. Nothing would make us happier than starting our marriage with a Tigres title. Check the Liga MX schedule closer to the date.
Estadio BBVA · Rayados
Rayados at BBVA
The other team in town. If Rayados are still alive in the Liguilla, Estadio BBVA is admittedly a beautiful stadium. We'll begrudgingly concede that much. Just don't wear blue and white to the wedding.
Fashion Drive
Fashion Drive
Open-air shopping just across from Hotel Safi Metropolitan.
Epic Cinema

Questions

A few things you may be wondering

What language will the ceremony be in?
The Mass will be celebrated bilingually in Spanish and English at Parroquia del Sagrado Corazón. Programs will be printed in both languages so every guest can follow along comfortably. Toasts and the welcome at the reception will also be bilingual.
How do I get from the hotel to the venues?
If you're staying at any of the Safi hotels, complimentary shuttle service will run between the hotel, the church, and the reception. Shuttle times will be communicated via text leading up to the wedding. If you're staying somewhere else or prefer to travel on your own, Uber and Didi are both widely available throughout Monterrey and work great.
If I'm driving, where should I park?
Parking near the church is limited. If you're driving and plan to attend the reception afterward, the easiest move is to come early, park at Casona de Santa Lucía (the reception venue, where parking is plentiful), and walk to the church. It's an eight-minute walk through the Paseo Santa Lucía. After the ceremony, walk back together with everyone for the reception.
What if my flight is delayed or I can't make it?
Send a WhatsApp to our wedding planners at Dol Weddings: +52 81 2622 9516. We'd rather hear about a delay than wonder. If you can't make it last-minute, send us a message so we can adjust the seating chart.
Will there be photos from the wedding?
Our photographer will capture the Mass and the reception. We'll share a link to the full album after the wedding so you can relive every moment.
