Día de los Muertos

October 31st to November 3rd - Oaxaca, Mexico

Día de los Muertos in Oaxaca is unlike anywhere else on earth, a celebration where time softens and the veil between worlds grows thin. The city becomes a tapestry of marigolds, candles, music, and memory. It is not a time of mourning, but a homecoming: a joyful invitation for spirits to return to join the living in warmth, remembrance, and love. In Oaxaca, Día de los Muertos feels as though the city itself is breathing - alive with history, heart, and an ancient beauty that stays with you long after the last candle flickers out.

Below is the guest itinerary for those who are joining us for the Day of the Dead weekend in Oaxaca, ahead of the wedding. Join as much or as little as you like - everything is optional. Timings and a few activities are still being finalised; anything marked "TBC" will be updated as details are confirmed.
