What will the weather be like in early March?

Early March is typically part of Guatemala’s dry season, which usually brings sunny, comfortable days and cooler evenings. Historical weather data for Antigua for March 6–8 shows daytime highs around 27–29°C (about 81–84°F) and nighttime lows around 16–17°C (about 61–63°F). Broader March climate data for Antigua also points to warm days and cool nights. (SA Vacations)

What should I wear?

The overall dress code for the weekend is Dress to Impress.

For the wedding and reception, the dress code is Black Tie / Formal. We recommend elegant attire that is both polished and comfortable for an outdoor or destination setting.

Because Antigua in early March is usually warm during the day and cooler in the evening, guests may want to consider:

Lightweight formal fabrics, breathable materials, and a light wrap, shawl, or jacket for nighttime. Comfortable dress shoes are also a good idea for walking on cobblestone streets in Antigua. Weather in March is generally pleasant and dry, but evenings can feel noticeably cooler than the daytime. (Weather Spark)

What does Black Tie / Formal mean?

For men, this may include a tuxedo or a dark formal suit with dress shoes. For women, this may include a floor-length gown, an elegant midi or formal cocktail dress, or similarly formal attire. We mainly want everyone to feel dressed up and celebratory.

Should I bring layers?

Yes. Even though the days are usually warm, evenings in Antigua can be cool in March, so a light layer is a good idea. (Weather Spark)

Do I need to stay at a specific hotel?

You are welcome to stay wherever is most comfortable and convenient for you, though we will share recommended options once lodging details are finalized.

Will my phone work in Guatemala?

Cell service and international roaming depend on your mobile provider and plan. It is a good idea to check with your carrier before your trip.

Should I notify my bank before traveling?

That is often a good idea before international travel so your card activity is not flagged unexpectedly.
