Curaçao has had few positive cases of COVID-19. Our number one priority is the health and safety of our families and friends. We are hoping that by August, this will die-down. Insurance for your trip is recommended. Currently tickets for travel are very cheap; around $250 dollars from DC or NY to Curacao. Some flights are offering free flight change if you book before March 31. We continue to work closely with our wedding planner, and have pushed back reservations for hotels to May 2020. We plan to reassess the feasibility of this wedding, and will communicate our plans in early May. Most importantly Please Stay Safe in this extraordinary time. Please look at cdc/curacao website for latest.
August 6 or August 7 to August 10

Curacao's official currency is the Netherlands Antilles Guilder (ANG). US dollar is generally accepted. ANG is pegged to the US Dollar: 1 ANG = $0.56 and $1 = 1.79 ANG. Travel tip: Try to charge as much as possible to your credit card (this keeps exact rate exchange). Bring some spending dollars to exchange. Some rural areas will ask for cash.
The four languages spoken in Curacao include Papiamentu (Creole language), Dutch, English, and Spanish.
No hurricanes. Curaçao is geographically located outside the Hurricane Belt.
The weather during August is sunny days (temp up to 90s) with clear skies and a warm breeze. Bring extra sun-creams. Curaçao is rarely affected by torrential rains.
Most visits to Curaçao are trouble-free. The main tourist areas are generally safe, but you should take normal precautions. In terms of bugs/ Zika/ travel precautions: CDC is an amazing resource. Low risk for most major bugs. Curaçao is a dry desert island so not a lot of mosquitoes (yaaay!) but always good to bring bug sprays. https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/destinations/traveler/none/curacao
Food and water standards in Curaçao are similar to those in the United States. Most travelers do not need to take special food or water precautions beyond what they normally do at home.
Bring your bikini, sunglasses and sandals: Curacao is definitely known for its beaches, and by far one of the best on the island is Klein Knip beach (we are organizing a catamaran tour to there). Let’s get tan!
