The country goes from the hot Caribbean coast to Andean highlands where nights are cold, and domestic flights connect the main cities. LOVIA lists more than 4,200 venues and vendors across Colombia. This page groups the venues by region, explains the main types and gives you a checklist for comparing them. The directory itself is in Spanish. The lists below link to Spanish-language listings, and our team can help you contact venues in English for free. ## Types of wedding venues in Colombia - **Hotels** (*hotel*). Ceremony, reception and guest rooms in one place. The usual choice in Cartagena and Santa Marta. Ask about minimum room nights. - **Haciendas and country estates** (*hacienda y espacio campestre*). Lawns, gardens and mountain views, common around Medellín, Bogotá and in the Coffee Region. Some include catering and furniture; others only rent the space. - **Event halls** (*salón de eventos*). Indoor space for large weddings, useful in cities and in cold climates. - **Restaurants** (*restaurante*). For a small wedding, a dinner after the civil ceremony or a welcome party. - **Destination venues** (*destination venue*). A LOVIA category for venues geared to couples who travel to get married. ## Wedding venues on the Caribbean coast **Cartagena** is Colombia’s most popular destination-wedding city, with hotels in the UNESCO-listed walled city, beachfront hotels and venues on the islands. **Santa Marta** offers beach hotels with the Sierra Nevada behind them. Both are hot all year; the breeze and a late-afternoon ceremony make the difference. ### Hotels in Cartagena - [Sofitel Cartagena Santa Clara](https://lovialat.com/directorio/sofitel-cartagena-santa-clara/)· San Diego · 4.9 on Google (5,145 reviews) - [Hotel Estelar Grand Playa de Manzanillo](https://lovialat.com/directorio/hotel-estelar-grand-playa-de-manzanillo/)· 4.8 on Google (11,793 reviews) - [Hotel Estelar Cartagena de Indias](https://lovialat.com/directorio/hotel-estelar-cartagena-de-indias/)· 4.8 on Google (10,502 reviews) - [Hotel Intercontinental Cartagena](https://lovialat.com/directorio/hotel-intercontinental-cartagena/)· 4.8 on Google (8,401 reviews) - [Casa San Agustín](https://lovialat.com/directorio/casa-san-agustin/)· Centro Histórico · 4.8 on Google (621 reviews) - [Casa Claver](https://lovialat.com/directorio/casa-claver/)· El Centro · 4.8 on Google (210 reviews) - [Hotel Quadrifolio](https://lovialat.com/directorio/hotel-quadrifolio/)· Centro Histórico · 4.8 on Google (173 reviews) - [Marella House](https://lovialat.com/directorio/marella-house/)· La Boquilla · 4.9 on Google (20 reviews) Listings open in Spanish.

Before you sign, ask: - **Capacity.** How many guests fit for a seated dinner, and what’s the minimum? - **Plan B.** Is there a covered space or tent if it rains? In the highlands, are there heaters? - **What’s included.** Venue only, or also catering, furniture, decoration and lighting? Can you bring outside vendors? - **Rooms.** Is there lodging on site, and is there a minimum number of room nights? - **Music and timing.** What time does the music have to stop? - **Getting there.** How far is it from the airport and the hotels, and is there parking or space for buses? - **Permits.** For a beach or public space, which permits does the venue handle? Ask every venue for an itemized quote with the same date and guest count so you can compare them fairly. If you also want a legal civil ceremony in Colombia, the notary’s rules apply wherever your venue is, and some notaries ask that one partner lives in the city. Requirements can change; confirm with the notary before booking flights.

For a colonial city by the sea, Cartagena's walled-city and beachfront hotels are the most popular. For a beach with mountains, look at Santa Marta. For mild weather and haciendas, Medellín and Rionegro. For cool highlands, the Sabana near Bogotá. For coffee country, Pereira and Salento. Compare them by region on LOVIA.How far ahead should we book a wedding venue in Colombia?Couples in Colombia usually plan six to twelve months ahead. Book earlier for December, the busiest wedding month, and for the high season for destination weddings, which ProColombia puts in December, November, March and August. Reserve the venue first, then your planner, photographer and catering, and block hotel rooms for guests as soon as the date is set.What is a hacienda wedding in Colombia?A hacienda is a country estate, often with gardens, lawns and mountain views. Haciendas are common around Medellín, Bogotá and in the Coffee Region. Some include catering, furniture and decoration, while others only rent the space and you bring your own vendors. Ask about lodging nearby, a tent for rain and heaters for cold nights.Do wedding venues in Colombia include catering?Some do and some don't. Many hotels offer catering packages, while many haciendas and event halls either have their own caterer or let you hire outside vendors. Ask each venue what's included, whether there's a mandatory caterer, and request an itemized quote with your guest count so you can compare venues on the same terms.Can we have an outdoor wedding in Colombia?Yes, but always plan for rain. In the Andes, rain can fall in any season; on the Caribbean coast, the rainier months are usually April–May and October–November in Cartagena and June, July, September and October in Santa Marta. Ask every venue for a covered plan B, schedule a coastal ceremony for late afternoon, and add heaters in the highlands.
