Festival Weddings

Nestled in the heart of Santa Catarina Palopo, a private lakefront villa played host to a wedding celebration that was nothing short of magical. The venue was transformed into a mini music festival, complete with breathtaking views and festival-inspired decor. The energy was palpable, as guests revealed in the peaceful yet electric vibe that permeated every inch of the stunning property.

The festivities kicked off in Antigua Guatemala, where the couple held a welcome cocktail party that was reminiscent of a disco in the midst of one of our all-time favorite ruins, La Ermita. The event was decorated with bold red, black, and gold colors, which perfectly complemented the fusion-inspired finger foods and local liquors that were served.

But that was just the beginning. The true magic happened at the lakefront villa in Santa Catarina Palopo. As guests arrived, they were greeted with teepees integrated into the festival-inspired decor, which set the stage for an unforgettable celebration.

The solemnity of the tea ceremony and the deep-rooted cultural significance of the ritual added a unique dimension to the wedding, making it an experience that was truly special and unforgettable.

The ceremony ended with a very emotive lighting of candles and setting off a paper lantern into the sunset, symbolizing the release of worries and hopes for a bright and happy future together. The emotion in the air was palpable, and there was not a dry eye in the crowd. It was a beautiful way to end the ceremony and to
