Our Story
This is your space — tell the story however you like. How you met, the moment you knew, the proposal. A few short paragraphs is plenty, and it is the section guests read most closely.
We will add photographs here too. A portrait or two from the engagement shoot works beautifully in this spot.
The Day
Provisional times
Times below are the working plan and will be confirmed once we lock the schedule with the hacienda.
Please arrive at least half an hour before the ceremony. Valet parking is available at the entrance.
One hour, inside the hacienda's colonial hall.
Drinks, canapés and lounge seating in the courtyard while we steal away for photographs.
A four-course dinner under the garden's tent and lantern light. Seating is assigned — look for your name at the entrance.
The floor opens and stays open. There will be a late-night snack when you need it.
A hard finish, set by the venue. Plan your ride home accordingly — or better still, stay the night.
The Venue
A sixteenth-century sugar hacienda founded in 1530, now a hotel and spa set in gardens of stone arches, aqueducts and old trees. Plaza Kennedy 90, Colonia Atlacomulco, Jiutepec, Morelos.
The ceremony. A colonial hall inside the main house, with the original stonework intact.
The welcome cocktail. An arcaded courtyard, lounge seating, an hour of drinks and canapés.
Dinner and dancing, outdoors under a white canopy with the garden lit from below.
Getting There
Morelos sits about ninety minutes south of Mexico City. Fly into Mexico City, then continue by road.
Benito Juárez International is the closest major airport, with direct connections from across the Americas, Europe and Asia.
Pullman de Morelos runs direct from both airport terminals to Cuernavaca. Ticket booths are on the ground floor at Terminal 1 near Gate E and Terminal 2 by the Gate 4 exit.
Worth it if you are arriving with family or a lot of luggage. Book at least a day or two ahead and the driver will meet you with a name sign.
Highway 95D, the Autopista del Sol, runs straight down from the city. Around an hour and a quarter in good conditions. There are tolls, so carry pesos.
Uber operates throughout Cuernavaca and Jiutepec, and it is the easiest way to move around once you are here — to dinner, into town, back to your hotel. It is reliable, cheap by most visitors' standards, and saves you parking at the hacienda.
Download the app before you travel and add a payment card that works internationally. Coverage from the airport itself is patchy, so use the bus or a booked transfer for that first leg.
Pullman de Morelos sells tickets online, and booking ahead means you walk straight to the platform instead of queueing at the counter after a long flight.
ClickBus and Reservamos both aggregate Mexican bus lines if you would rather compare times and prices in one place.
Travelling together
A private van from the airport seats eight to ten and costs about the same as four bus tickets. If you tell us your arrival time when you RSVP, we will put you in touch with other guests landing around the same time so you can share a transfer — cheaper than going alone, and a much nicer start to the weekend.
Just mention your flight details in the message box when you reply.
Where to Stay
The hotel has 54 rooms across five categories, from Deluxe up to the Presidential Suite, plus a full spa. Staying on site means no drive home at three in the morning.
Room block coming soon
We are negotiating a group rate. We will post the booking code here as soon as it is confirmed — please hold off booking until then.
Cuernavaca is ten to fifteen minutes away and has plenty of hotels at every price point, along with restaurants and gardens worth a day of your time.
We will add a short list of recommendations closer to the date.
Good to Know
Formal. The ceremony is indoors but dinner and dancing are outdoors on grass and stone — heels will sink, so choose accordingly. November evenings in Morelos are mild but cool down after midnight, so bring a wrap or a jacket.
Your invitation lists exactly who is included — when you enter your RSVP code you will see the names we have for you. We are working to a fixed guest count with the venue, so we are not able to add extras.
If your invitation includes children, their names will appear when you RSVP. There is a children's menu available.
No. Uber works throughout Cuernavaca and Jiutepec and is the simplest way to get around. For the airport leg, take the Pullman de Morelos bus or book a private transfer — and if you would like to share one with other guests, tell us your arrival time and we will connect you.
Yes — valet parking at the entrance, a small fee per car on arrival. It is complimentary if you are staying at the hotel.
Tell us in the RSVP form — there is a box for exactly this. Vegetarian is available as a main, and we will pass anything else straight to the kitchen.
Many nationalities, including Australia, the UK, the US, Canada and the EU, do not need a visa for a tourist visit to Mexico. Rules change, so please check the current requirements for your passport well before you book.
Your being there, having travelled this far, is the gift. If you would like to do something anyway, we will add details here closer to the date.
By 13 July 2027, please. That is four months before the wedding, which gives us time to offer any unclaimed places to other people we would love to have there. If you already know you cannot make it, telling us early is genuinely a kindness rather than bad news.
Write to us — there is a message box at the bottom of the RSVP form, and it reaches us directly.
