In order to allow all guests, including parents, an evening of fun & relaxation we have chosen for our wedding day to be an adult-only occasion. We hope this advance notice means you are still able to share our big day and will enjoy having the evening off!
The official currency of Cartagena is the Colombian peso, which may be designated as “$”, “COP” or “COL$”. The meaning of semicolons when it comes to currency is the opposite of the US. For example, $20,000 = twenty thousand Colombian pesos (is approximately $5.00 USD). USD and other foreign currencies will not be accepted. We recommend using the currency exchange counters before leaving the Cartagena airport to get the best rates if you want to use cash. If you forget, you can find a handful of ATMs in the city.
A 10% gratuity (service) is usually added to your bill. If the service was extraordinary, feel free to add a few extra pesos. If not, you won’t offend anyone. If you sign up for any excursions or tours, we recommend that you tip your guides.
