FAQs
Below, you’ll find answers to the most frequently asked questions.
Why are we getting married?
Because our love story is too special not to celebrate! Besides, after 10 years of being together, we figured it was time to cross the "epic wedding" of our bucket list.
Where does the wedding take place?
On the magical island of Ibiza, Spain!! And in particular, at the jaw-dropping, 5-star hotel Hacienda Na Xamena, located on the top of the Na Xamena cliffs with views that'll take your breath away.
Is everything happening in one place?
Yes, all events will take place at the beautiful Hacienda Na Xamena. So, no need to travel to different locations outside of the hotel!
Where are we staying?
In the luxurious rooms of Hacienda Na Xamena itself, where the views are straight out of a dream. We'll all wake up in paradise together!
Why have we chosen this venue?
This place is not just a venue; it’s a piece of Ibiza’s heart & history. With its stunning views, luxurious amenities, and the perfect mix of nature and elegance, this 5-star luxury hotel, with its authentic, hippie Ibiza feel, was the only place that felt right to celebrate this once-in-a-lifetime event.
Is the hotel room paid for?
Yes! Your stay of two nights on May 9 and May 10 at Hacienda Na Xamena, including breakfast and tourist tax, is on us! We want you to enjoy this paradise with us to its fullest, waking up to those stunning views and having breakfast together overlooking the Mediterranean Ocean.
Do we have the entire hotel to ourselves?
No, only the event areas will be private for us. The hotel area is shared with other guests. But as it’s low season, there might be a lower occupancy.
What is the dress code for the wedding?
The dress code is Casual Chic, which means wearing something stylish yet comfortable. The ceremony will occur in the hotel's outdoor theatre, with an amazing ocean view where you'll sit on pillows.
Choose outfits that are both good-looking and comfortable. This will help you fully enjoy the lovely ceremony and the elegant party under the stars that follow.

Is there parking available?
Yes, there's plenty of free parking at the hotel.
Will there be vegan/vegetarian/gluten-free food options?
Absolutely! We’ve ensured a special menu with delicious vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free options to cater to your dietary preferences. Once you register your attendance, please let us know your dietary restrictions.
I have a food allergy, now what?
No worries! If you inform us about your allergies when you register for the event, we’ll ensure your dining experience is safe, delicious, and memorable.
Will there be an open bar?
Absolutely! During dinner on both Friday and Saturday, you can enjoy unlimited beer, wine, rosé, cava, and soft drinks.
Then, on Saturday evening, the party kicks it up a notch with an open bar, offering unlimited alcoholic beverages, including vodka, gin, tequila, rum, whiskey, and more.
Can I order other drinks outside the pre-selection during dinner & welcome drinks?
Unfortunately not. To keep things running smoothly for the staff, we’re sticking to the carefully curated selection of drinks during dinner and welcome drinks.
What are the dinner plans for Friday, May 9th?
We’re keeping things laid-back with a delicious spread of vegetarian, meat, and fish tapas, along with sunset drinks on the Hacienda rooftop. It’s the perfect opportunity to relax and get to know everyone before the big event!
Please enjoy plenty of tapas, as there won’t be a formal dinner service afterward. If you’re still hungry later, you can order room service at your own expense.
Are there any plans for lunch on Saturday, May 10?
Absolutely! We want everyone to feel their best for the sunset ceremony, so we’ve arranged for club sandwiches at the hotel’s pool restaurant—our treat!
Grab one whenever you need a little energy boost before the celebrations. Just let the staff know if you have any food allergies or dietary restrictions when ordering. Please note that drinks are not included and will be at your own expense.
Is there a set menu for Saturday’s dinner?
Yes! We’ve curated a special selection of beautifully crafted dishes for a four-course dinner, topped off with an absolutely delicious wedding cake. It’s going to be a feast!
Is there a set table seating for Saturday’s dinner?
Yes! We’ve thoughtfully arranged a seating plan to ensure everyone feels comfortable and connected. We’ve considered friendships, family ties, and even shared interests to create a warm and enjoyable atmosphere at each table.
Your seat will be set with a personalized name tag and the evening’s menu.
What if I want to give a gift?
Your presence is the greatest gift! While we’ve covered your stay, we kindly ask that your flight to join us be your generous gift to us. Your effort to be there is truly all we wish for.
But what if I still want to give a gift?
We would like to encourage you not to do so as we have already asked you to pay for your own flight. You being at our big day is the gift!
However, if you'd feel uncomfortable arriving without a gift, some guests are organizing a collaborative one and need your RSVP to share details via email.
Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?
We're having a mix! The ceremony and some receptions are outdoors, with dinner and the party being indoors.
What’s the weather like in Ibiza around the wedding date?
Expect sunny days and chilly evenings, with temperatures around 18-28 degrees Celsius during the daytime and 10-20 degrees Celsius at night. Make sure to pack a light jacket or vest in case the sea breeze picks up.
What happens if there is rain, snow, hail, a thunderstorm?
In the 25 years that Hacienda Na Xamena has hosted weddings, bad weather has not once ruined the celebrations. But, should we be the first, there's a beautiful indoor location ready to keep the party dry and lively.
What should I pack, aside from my wedding outfit?
Ibiza's vibe is laid-back yet stylish. Bring your swimsuits, sun protection, comfortable shoes for exploring, sunglasses, and a relaxed travel outfit for a comfortable flight home.
There could be a party at one of the many clubs around the island that you might want to attend after the official wedding party ends, so pack your party outfits!
What’s the plan for the day after the wedding?
After breakfast and check out, the day is yours to enjoy. Whether you're soaking up more Ibiza sun, exploring the island, or just relaxing, feel free to make the most of your time.
If you're not ready to bid adieu to the island's charm, you might consider extending your stay and relocating to another room in Na Xamena or one of the many inviting hotels scattered across the island.
We will extend our stay on the island at OKU Ibiza until Friday, May 16th.
Will the ceremony be in English or Dutch?
Since about 20% of our guests are international, our wonderful ceremony officiant, Wendy from Ibiza Soul Ceremonies, will lead a heartfelt 30-minute ceremony in both English and Dutch.
This way, everyone can follow along and feel included in the moment!
Will there be a wedding photographer?
Yes! Photographer Matt Morgan will capture this special event for us and will be present on both Friday and Saturday. All photos will be uploaded to this site once finished so that you can download them yourself!
And yes, feel free to share them wherever you want, whenever you want! There's no need to wait for us to post something first.
Can I use my phone/camera during the weekend?
Absolutely! Please feel free to snap as many photos and videos as you’d like throughout the weekend. The only time we kindly ask you to put your phones away is during the ceremony itself—so everyone can be fully present and let our photographer work their magic.
Can I post photos on social media?
Absolutely! Feel free to share as much as you want.
Will there be a DJ playing during the party?
Absolutely! We’ve invited an Ibiza-based artist to spin an electrifying 3-hour tech house set, guaranteed to get everyone on their feet and keep the energy high.
Can I request a song from the DJ?
No. We've asked the DJ to read the room and keep the energy just right throughout the night, so he won’t be taking song requests. Don’t worry—he’ll make sure there’s plenty of great music to keep everyone on the dance floor!
Can I contact someone with any other questions I don’t want the bride and groom to know?
Yes, of course! Feel free to contact our event coordinator, Cynthia Autin.
