FAQs
Question
Do I need a passport to cross the border into Mexico?
Answer
Yes, you will need a passport to cross into Mexico and come back.
Question
Is Mexico safe?
Answer
Ali and Michael visit Mexico often. Both Ensenada and Valle de Guadalupe are accustomed to having visitors from all over the world. Ensenada is a port town that welcomes cruise ships often, and Valle de Guadalupe is Mexico's premier wine tasting region.
Question
Do I have to stay at Torre Lucerna or have take any of the shuttles?
Answer
No. You are more than welcome to plan your own accommodation and transportation. We wanted to make it as easy as possible for all guests, but if you have other plans or want to stay in the valley and go directly to the wedding, you may.
Question
What day should I fly in and out?
Answer
Ideally, you would fly in on Thursday, May 18th. You would need accommodations in San Diego that night. You may fly in Friday, May 19th, but please let us know what time your plane arrives. Flying out Sunday, May 21st, may be risky. If you choose Sunday, I would highly advise a flight that was later in the day as the shuttle to the border will take about two hours and then there may be up to an hour wait to cross the International Border.
Question
Should I just make an vacation out of this!
Answer
Absolutely. Ensenada, and especially Valle de Guadalupe, are incredible places, and if you have never been, you could spend days exploring the area. The wine is good and the food is even better. If there is enough people that want to stay on Sunday, we'll work something out. Just let Mike know!
Question
May I bring a plus one?
Answer
We appreciate your support and appreciation of our union. We are only able to accommodate guests named on the invitations. Thank you for celebrating with us.
Question
Is it really adults only?
Answer
Yes, this is an adults only affair. We would love all of our guests to let their hair down and enjoy themselves for the weekend. However, we understand that this may not be possible for everyone. Please text us if you need to bring your child(ren) and we'll do our best to adjust our guest list.
Question
Is the venue outdoors?
Answer
Yes, Parque La Joya is outdoors. Although we project the weather to be perfect, it may get cool at night so we recommend you bring a jacket or shawl.
Question
Any COVID-19 policies?
Answer
As of right now, there are no COVID-19 policies or restrictions in place. If anything changes, we'll let you know.
Question
Does your wedding have a #hashtag?!
Answer
Yes. We would love to see all the pictures and videos you post from our wedding! Please use the hashtag, #turtlechosebest. (Ali's choice, not Mike's) lolol
