things to know ↓
When and where is the wedding?
Our love is too big to fit into just one day, so we’re extending the celebration over the whole weekend! Of course, it’s entirely up to you how long you’d like to stay and join the love.
Ceremony: May 9th at a charming cortijo* near Tarifa, Spain. The reception will start at 5 p.m., and the exact venue location will be disclosed later.
Pool Day: May 10th. This is our day to slow down, get some vitamin D, enjoy meaningful conversations, and have some wholesome time by the pool. We’ll have a few light activities for recovery and maybe, if the mood strikes, a signature “Rasa’s Bootcamp” session for those who want to sweat out all the buzz!
*Cortijo {according to chatgpt} - is a traditional Spanish rural estate, typically found in the southern regions of Spain, especially in AndalucĂa. It usually includes a farmhouse or country house and may be part of a larger agricultural property with surrounding land used for farming, livestock, or vineyards. Cortijos often have a rustic style with whitewashed walls and are associated with the countryside lifestyle and rural architecture of Spain.
When is the deadline to RSVP?
Please let us know by January 1st, 2025 so we can have enough chairs for everybody and make sure everything is perfect for your arrival!
Can I bring a +1?
Yes, absolutely! We’d love for you to bring someone special to share the celebration with us.
What’s the dress code?
Ceremony: Mediterranean / Spanish
Pool Day: Ultra-casual, or bring the fanciest swimsuit you have! Since it’s still early in the year, our pool day might turn into a cozy-up day with blankets.
What will be the moon phase during the wedding?
The moon will be in the Last Quarter phase. This phase provides a gentle moonlight, creating a soft and intimate atmosphere for celebrations. The Last Quarter moon symbolizes reflection and new beginnings, making it a fitting celestial backdrop for a wedding focused on the future.
How do I get to Tarifa?
By Plane: The nearest airports are Málaga (AGP) and Gibraltar (GIB), each about 1.5 to 2 hours away by car. Main airlines from Lithuania: Vilnius - Malaga (WizzAir and AirBaltic) and Kaunas - Malaga (Ryanair).
By Car: We recommend renting a car, van, or even a campervan to share with friends. In our experience, DoYouSpain offers the best prices. Once you’ve booked your flights, let us know, and we’ll do our best to help organize logistics.
By Bus: There are no direct buses from Málaga Airport to Tarifa, but you can take a bus to Algeciras (just 20 minutes from Tarifa). The timetable can be found on AvanzaBus website. There are direct buses to Tarifa from Cádiz and Seville as well.
By BlaBlaCar: Carpooling is also an option through BlaBlaCar, where you can find drivers (if you’re lucky) heading to Tarifa.
What about accomondation?
We’ve got a few rooms at the venue, but not enough for everyone. Since we’ll be in a small rural village with no nearby accommodations, we’d love nothing more than to wake up to your beautiful faces the next day! So why not embrace the great outdoors? Bring a tent, grab a sleeping bag, and get ready for a sleepover under the stars! You know this is our style. If you don’t have camping gear, we’ll supply you with all the essentials. We’ll confirm these details with each of you personally.
Campervans are also welcome, with plenty of space for parking near the venue.
For those who prefer a fluffy white pillow, nearby towns offer hotels and Airbnbs:
Zahara de los Atunes: 10-minute drive
Facinas: 20-minute drive
Vejer de la Frontera: 30-minute drive
Tarifa: 40-minute drive
What about transportation?
There won’t be official transport from the airport or hotels to the wedding venue, but don’t worry—we’ll help connect you with other friends for carpooling!
What’s the weather like in May and what should I wear?
Tarifa is famously windy, and early May can be unpredictable. Expect some sunshine, a chance of rain, and there might be winds up to 40 knots. Daytime temperatures will be around 20-25°C, dropping to 15°C at night. Pack a windproof jacket, a cozy sweater, and pants—but don’t forget a dress and a bikini for the sunny day! Oh, and bring some activewear in case you’d like to go for a hike or do Rasa’s Bootcamp.
What should I get you as a wedding gift?
Your presence is truly the greatest gift, especially since many of you are traveling from far away to celebrate our love. If you’d still like to contribute, we’d love any support toward our honeymoon fund. You can send your gift to:
