Four days in the hills

The Weekend

Here's the shape of the four days, with where each thing happens and what to wear. Exact times — shuttle pickup, the ceremony hour — are coming as we lock them in; nothing below will change in spirit.

Thursday · June 17

Arrival

  1. From 3:00pm
    Arrivals and villa check-in
    Where · Villa Blanca

    The shuttle from Barcelona airport arrives mid-afternoon; if you're driving, come anytime after three.

  2. Evening
    Welcome dinner
    Where · The colonnaded veranda, Villa Blanca

    Drinks in the garden first, then a long table for everyone.

AttireElevated — think summer cocktail

Dressier than a typical welcome dinner: linen suits, jackets without ties, dresses and heels. We want the photos.

Friday · June 18

Open day

  1. Morning
    Breakfast, self-serve
    Where · The dining room, Villa Blanca

    Laid out from early; wander down when you're up.

  2. Midday
    Lunch at the villa (optional)
    Where · Under the pergola, Villa Blanca
  3. Evening
    Dinner at the villa (optional)
    Where · The veranda, Villa Blanca

    A relaxed buffet — no need to dress up.

AttireCasual

Whatever the day calls for — swimsuits, hiking shoes, or a sundress for lunch in town.

Both Friday meals are provided but completely optional. Explore the coast, or stay by the pool all day — just let us know whether you're eating in, in your RSVP note or closer to the weekend, so we know how many to cook for.

Off-site guests

Everything on this page is for everyone — a room at the villa isn't a ticket to the events. If you're staying at a hotel nearby, here's how it works:

  • You're invited to all of it: Thursday's welcome dinner, both Friday meals if you'd like them, the whole of Saturday, and Sunday's brunch.
  • On Thursday, Saturday and Sunday we'll run a shuttle between where you're staying and the villa, there and back, timed to the events.
  • On Friday, come and go as you please — the villa is a five-minute taxi or a twenty-minute walk uphill from the beach.
  • The Thursday airport shuttle drops you off before heading up to the villa, and the Sunday shuttle collects you on its way to the airport.
