Mendoza Elopement Permits: What You Actually Need
A symbolic ceremony, a bodega or vineyard permission, and the legal marriage handled at home. Here is the whole picture, and who arranges it.
Couples brace for a foreign legal marriage in Argentina.
For a vineyard elopement, almost none of that applies.
A symbolic ceremony, a bodega permission, and the legal marriage handled at home: that is the whole picture, and all of it is my job.
(Continued on Page 2, Col. 1)
Argentina's legal marriage requires residency and a health exam, so most couples marry legally at home and hold a symbolic ceremony in the vineyards. For that, what you need is permission to hold the ceremony at the specific bodega or vineyard, which the winery grants as part of a private event.
The legal side and the bodega
Argentina's legal marriage requires residency and a health exam, so most couples marry legally at home and hold a symbolic ceremony in the vineyards. For that, what you need is permission to hold the ceremony at the specific bodega or vineyard, which the winery grants as part of a private event.
Who arranges it
For couples I work with, I secure the bodega permission, coordinate the officiant for the symbolic ceremony, and arrange the tasting and dinner, folding it into the tier. You marry legally at home; I run the vineyard side.
As your Elopement Curator I plan the day, arrange the permissions, and both shoot and film it. Twelve years and 240+ couples in, the paperwork has been my job, never the couple's.
