This wedding at Santa Clara in Guatemala was truly everything dreams are made of. The city of Antigua is steeped in such beautiful culture and colors, it felt like every corner we turned was another beautiful backdrop. We were able to hike the Volcano with Anna and Nico the day before their Santa Clara wedding, and celebrate them in the streets of Antigua before their welcome party that evening. Every step of the day was so intensely beautiful and intentional, and it was an honor to be a part. I hope you love the images as much as I do, I’ll be dreaming of this day forever.

Why choose Santa Clara for your wedding venue?

Unmatched Historical Charm

The Convento de Santa Clara, with its origins dating back to 1705, offers a rich historical ambiance that is both captivating and unique. The venue’s ancient arches, beautifully restored gardens, and cobblestone pathways provide a stunning backdrop that evokes a sense of timeless romance​.

Picturesque Beauty

Imagine exchanging vows amidst the breathtaking ruins, framed by lush gardens and dramatic stone structures. The setting is particularly magical during the golden hour, ensuring your wedding photos are nothing short of spectacular​ (Junebug Weddings)​.

Flexibility and Customization

Santa Clara’s versatile layout allows you to tailor each part of your wedding to your personal style. Whether you desire an intimate ceremony or a grand celebration, the venue’s different sections can accommodate your needs, offering both open-air and sheltered options​ (Ah Trini Travelogue)​.

Expert Local Support

Working with experienced local vendors, such as planners like Carolina Mendez and florists like Bea from Addy Florales, ensures a smooth and seamless planning process. These professionals are familiar with the venue and can help bring your vision to life with ease​ (WeddingPhotoGT)​​ (Junebug Weddings)​.

Weather Considerations

While the open-air nature of the venue adds to its charm, it’s wise to plan for weather contingencies. Many couples opt for tenting solutions or have a backup indoor location to ensure their day goes off without a hitch, regardless of the weather​ (Wedding Film Italy)​.

By choosing Santa Clara, you’re not just selecting a venue; you’re embracing a piece of history and creating memories in a setting that truly stands out. This magical location will leave a lasting impression on you and your guests, making your wedding day an unforgettable experience.
