“The finca is out of this world; we were lucky with a perfect day for temperature, the whole finca in bloom, so much so that no decoration was needed beyond nature itself.”

The party, for as long as you like

The covered barn, with its lights and its fireplace, is where the finca suggests the open bar and the party. When the party ends is up to you (Bodas.net).

“She made everything very easy: she coordinated the important moments of the wedding and let us enjoy the bar and the music (our music) for as long as we wanted”
