We're five months away...
Updated: Mar 14
Hello dearest friends,
We are five months away from our beautiful anniversary celebration. We can't wait to have all of you join us in our beloved city of Oaxaca de Juárez to, once again, celebrate our beautiful story of love, friendship, and partnership.
We just booked the most incredible venue. Even though we weren't able to repeat the same venue where our wedding took place five years ago, we were able to secure a gorgeous AirBNB Villa for the days of the actual celebration.
Starting on Thursday, August 13th, we will be staying at this wonderful villa called "Casa de mi Independencia". It's located at 1106 Av. de la Independencia, Centro, Oaxaca. We made a video for you to see how cool and well designed this place is.
We (Gil and Meredith), plus Meredith's parents, plus our son, Lucas and his mom Molly will be staying there from Thursday (08/13) and leave on Monday (08/17), that's 4 nights. If you'd also like to stay there those 4 nights please let us know ASAP (email Gil at djmanogil@gmail.com) or text one of us so we can save you a spot. The four nights there would be $440 per person ($110 per night) and it includes buffet style freshly cooked breakfast.
(PS: We will actually arrive in Oaxaca Friday August 7th to take care of some final arrangements and we'll probably stay in one of the nearby hotels below before transferring to the big villa, fyi)
If you prefer to get different accommodations we can give you some recommendations at different price points for you to explore. Here are some suggestions that are very close to where we'll be staying:
Hotel Quinta Real ($$$$$): Very luxurious, very pricey, but truly a gorgeous place. About $350 per night for two people.
Hotel de la Parra ($$$): Great hotel. It used to be a little cheaper. We stayed there on our very first trip to Oaxaca. About $200 per night for a two-person room.
Hotel CasAntica ($$): Very good hotel as well. It has a cute pool. We stayed there in one of our Oaxaca trips as well. About $120 per night for two people.
Lar Syrah ($$): This is cute villa that we believe operates like an AirBNB but that you can book individual rooms as well (we saw it on Booking.com and also on AirBNB). The price seems good as well. About $150 per night for a two-person room.
Hotel Casa Antigua ($$): The cheapest one of the suggestions. Not the same as CasAntica (the names are just similar). It looks really good and it has great reviews. The last price we saw was $104 per night for two people.
All the prices were from Booking.com on the same dates as we would stay at the celebration venue (08-13 to 08-17), so just be aware that prices can change.
Alright. This is it for now. We already have 20 RSVPs. That means we already have a guaranteed good time celebration. But you still have time to join us. Let us know HERE if you can make it or not. We'd love to see you in Oaxaca. Don't just come for us, come to enjoy this beautiful place, to fall in love with one of our favorite places in the world, and, sure, to party with us. We love you.
~Gil & Mere
