Where we will celebrate
Santiago sits in a valley with the Andes rising right behind it. Snow on the peaks, vineyards at their feet, close to the beach and a city full of restaurants, terraces and good wine. Late October is spring here: long, warm evenings and everything in bloom.

Booking tips
- · Prices are lowest around 6–8 months before departure. Late October is shoulder season, so it is cheaper than December or January.
- · Flying into Santiago (SCL) and stopping for a couple of days in Buenos Aires or Rio often costs the same as a return flight — ask for a multi-city ticket.
- · LATAM sells cheap domestic flights inside Chile; book them separately once your dates are fixed.
- · Set a price alert on Google Flights for your dates and let it do the work.
What we have planned for you
We are not planning one evening, we are planning a long weekend. Here is how it looks — everything is optional, but we would love to have you at all of it.
The house
We are renting a big house for everyone who wants to stay together. We will rent 1 or 2 places depending on the number of guests. You will get to share breakfasts, the pool, and no one will be driving home alone at night. The exact location will be shared soon.
Prefer your own place? Santiago has great apartments and hotels close to the house. Apartments from €50 per night, hotels from €80 per night.
THURSDAY
From 15:00 PM
Arrive and unwind
Once at the airport we recommend booking a transfer with Transvip. You can book a private car for around €15 per person or a share ride for around €9 and the trip takes about 30 minutes to your accommodation. Take this day to sleep off the flight, meet everyone around, no plans, no dress code — just chill and relax.

12:00 PM brunch · 15:00 PM vineyard
Brunch & a vineyard
A van will pick us up and take us for a slow brunch to try some Chilean delicacies. Then we'll head out of the city into the beautiful wine valleys to taste what Chile does best. We'll be back in the evening with time to relax, enjoy the pool, and rest—because tomorrow is the big day!
Saturday
12:00 PM ceremony · 14:30 PM venue
The big day
12:00 PM — religious ceremony at the Schoenstatt Shrine of Campanario. Please arrive on time. Afterwards a van takes everyone to Chateau Potrero Seco Vineyard in Talagante, where we expect you around 14:30 PM for a reception, dinner and dancing among the vineyards. At the end of the night the same van brings you back to the house or your hotel.
Sunday

Recovery brunch
Check out is at 14:00 PM — but nobody leaves in a hurry. This day we gather again for a slow brunch: coffee, eggs, sunglasses and the best stories from the night before. A soft landing together before everyone heads off on their own adventure.

What to wear
Spring formal. Suits, long or midi dresses. The ceremony is in a church, so covered shoulders are appreciated, and part of the evening is on grass — bring block heels or something you can dance on. The colours below are our palette if you want to match, but they are absolutely not required — any colour is welcome! Just stay away from white, cream and black.
Our palette, if you want to match
Please avoid
- · White, cream and black
