Frequently Asked Questions

WHEN IS A GOOD SEASON TO GET MARRIED IN OAXACA?+

You can have a lovely wedding in Oaxaca any time of year. The most popular time to get married is between October and March. This is when we have the best weather: less chance of rain and the temperature is most comfortable.

ARE YOU BASED IN OAXACA?+

Yes. The founders of ODW have lived in Oaxaca City since 2011. All staff are also based here.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO GET MARRIED IN OAXACA CITY?+

Cost can vary, but it is very difficult to pull off a wedding in Oaxaca City with less than 30,000 USD (even if your wedding is smaller). If your budget is less than this, we suggest you explore other options.

DO YOU WORK ONLY IN OAXACA CITY?+

We are most familiar with the venues and vendors the Oaxaca City area. However, we are open to planning weddings in other locations in the state of Oaxaca. Please reach out to us for a consultation. There are many lovely venues not directly in Oaxaca City itself, for instance a mezcal distillery or ranch. We are happy to work outside of the city limits, but please note that this increases our fees (and the fees of most vendors) to cover extra transportation and labor time.
