Question

Do I need to take Mexican Pesos?

Answer

Many places accept debit / credit cards from all majors banks, but we suggest taking some Pesos as some local stores /markets only accept cash. Pesos can be exchanged at your bank by ordering them a few days in advance, through a currency exchange store or at the airport (although airport currency exchange stores generally give the lowest rate).

The Church Ceremony and the Reception is Black-Tie optional. For men, we suggest a tuxedo or a dark suit. For ladies, we suggest an evening gown or a floor length dress.
