Getting Ready Locations near Sobremesa, Mexico City
Planning a destination wedding can be complicated! Let me suggest a few spots that are both beautiful and convenient for the pre-wedding prep! These are some of my favorite getting ready spots, all within a short distance from Sobremesa:
- Brick Hotel – The suites are gorgeous, large, and well-appointed.

- Ignacia Guesthouse – Contemporary colors and furniture with a huge, gorgeous jacaranda tree right outside that surrounds the balcony

Venue Guest Capacity, let’s be honest…
With a capacity for 40-80 guests, it is a popular choice for those planning intimate weddings or elopements. However, I’d recommend keeping your guest count limited. From my experience, a smaller guest list keeps the space comfortable and uncramped. Here, less truly is more!
To accommodate the long, beautiful dining table as you see below, you’ll need a guest list of 40 or less!

- Instead, hanging cafe lights over the courtyard space and lots of candles everywhere is always a good idea
- The spaces are small! Have your DJ set up during your cocktail hour or dinner to avoid photos with the unsightly equipment in your ceremony
- Welcome the Mariachi to join the cocktail hour right after the ceremony, it’s always such an exciting moment!
- The entry from the street into the space is so pretty – be sure to have your florist decorate the stairs as well
- USE A PLANNER or hire a day-of-wedding coordinator, you’ll thank me later
