Love Without Borders

Matt & Andrea

October 31, 2026 • Mexico City

Our Story

We met in London, had our first date in Barcelona, and fell in love in Rome. Matt flew home to Australia — but a few days later he was on a plane to Mexico. "Just for a month," he said. He never really left. Four months travelling the world together sealed it, and now on October 31, we're inviting you to celebrate our marriage.

Where to Stay

Mexico City will be buzzing with events during our wedding weekend, which means hotels are booking up quickly and some have introduced a minimum 4-night stay. We want to make sure you find the perfect place to rest after celebrating with us.

We Recommend Airbnb

For flexibility, space, and a true local experience, we highly recommend booking an Airbnb. You'll find beautiful apartments in Polanco, Roma Norte, and Condesa — all wonderful neighborhoods close to the celebration.

Prefer a Hotel?

If you would rather stay in a hotel, we suggest reaching out directly to properties in Polanco, Roma, or Condesa. Calling or emailing the hotel directly can sometimes unlock availability that isn't shown online — and you may be able to negotiate a shorter stay than the standard 4-night minimum.
