Planning
May 31st
Esta semana nos pusimos a buscar nuestro Wedding Planner. Pensamos tener entrevistas con varios y así poder decidir. Una vez que tengamos a la persona elegida, queremos empezar con ella desde cero la planificación de todo nuestro casamiento. Los mantendremos informados!
This week we began looking for our Wedding Planner. We're planning to have interviews with various candidates and then decide. Once we have the person chosen, we'll begin putting together all the plans for the wedding. We'll keep you posted!
June 16th
Después de estrevistarnos con seis wedding planners diferentes, nos decidimos por Gerardo, de Bis-age Eventos. Nos pareció muy profesional y atento a nuestras inquietudes. También nos ayudarán Lorena y Sol, de la misma empresa. Ahora nos toca seguir con los próximos pasos... manos a la obra!
After interviewing six different wedding planners, we have decided to work with Gerardo from Bis-age Eventos. He appears very professional and in touch with our concerns. Lorena and Sol, from the same company, will also helps us. Now we're ready for the next steps with our sleeves rolled up!
July 30th
Tenemos el lugar! Tenemos la fecha! Después de ver cinco o seis lugares diferentes en Buenos Aires, terminamos eligiendo un sitio muy especial para nosotros. Es el lugar que más nos gusta en la ciudad y cada vez que tenemos un motivo especial para celebrar, vamos ahí. Ya está decidido: nos casamos el 9 de Abril de 2011 en el Park Hyatt Palacio Duhau.
We have a place! We have a date! After looking at five or six locations around town, we ended up choosing a place that has always been special to us. When we have something to celebrate, we often make our way there. So the date and time are now set: April 9th, 2011 at The Park Hyatt Palacio Duhau.
August 7th
Hoy vimos por primera vez el salón de nuestra fiesta decorado. Fuimos a visitar a un disc jockey que organizaba un evento ahí y aprovechamos para imaginarnos cómo va a quedar el salón cuando sea nuestro casamiento. Estamos un paso más cerca de que el sueño sea haga realidad.
Today, for the first time we saw the reception hall all done up. We went to meet a DJ who was putting on an event there and took the opportunity to picture our party with all the furnishings. It's another step where the dream is starting to take shape.
September 15
Después de muchas entrevistas, cerramos el tema de los DJs. Los responsables por el "pum para arriba" van a ser a Repila DJs. Tienen su oficina central muy cerca de nuestro departamento y tenemos mucha confianza en ellos porque nos parecieron muy profesionales. Ahora vamos a tener otros encuentros con ellos en los próximos meses, para delinear el timing, estilo de la fiesta y las canciones que queremos bailar (si nos quieren dejar sugerencias, seran más que bienvenidas!).
After various interviews with local DJs, we have made our choice. The gang in charge of getting the party moving and keeping it there all night will be Repila DJs. Their office is just down the street from our apartment and we were drawn to their professionalism. We will continue to meet with them in the coming months to set up the timing, style of party, and songs we want to dance to. (If you have suggestions on what you want to hear, we're all ears.)
October 23rd
Habíamos contratado la opción de tener una ceremonia en una sala del mismo hotel en donde vamos a hacer la fiesta, pero queríamos algo más emotivo, que refleje nuestros sentimientos. Ninguno de nosotros es practicante de una religión, pero Belu fue criada con creencias Católicas. Por eso decidimos buscar una iglesia de ese credo. Después de una búsqueda exhaustiva, encontramos una iglesia que nos gustó mucho. Es estilo neo-romántico e inaugurada el 25 de Octubre, 1883 (la misma fecha de nuestra primera cita). Por suerte, tenía disponibilidad para el 9 de Abril. Entonces, está confirmado: nos vamos a casar a las 20:00 en Nuestra Señora de Las Victorias!
Even though we already had the option of getting married in a hall in the same place where we are having the party, we were hoping to have a more spiritual ceremony. As neither of us actively goes to services, we did not have an obvious choice for the church. After an extensive search, we found a church that we really liked, and luckily they had an open slot on the 9th. It's an elegant, neo-romantic style church that was opened on October 25th, 1883 (the same date as our first date). So it is all set: we will be married at 8:00 PM in the church Nuestra Señora de Las Victorias (aka "Las Victorias")! That's right - Hail to the Victors!
November 7th
Después de visitar tres estudios de fotografía elegimos a Paleo para que se encarguen de las fotos y videos en nuestro casamiento. Los elegimos porque nos parecieron muy profesionales y tienen más de 30 años de experiencia en el mercado.
After interviews with three photography studios we elected Paleo to handle all photo and video recording of our wedding. We went with them because they seemed the most capable and have over 30 years of experience.
March 16th
Hoy tuvimos la degustacion de algunas de las cosas que van a servir en la boda. Realmente nos quedamos sorprendidos del excelente trabajo de todo el equipo culinario. Solo degustamos el 30% de las cosas que habra el 9 de Abril, pero tenemos el presentimiento de que todo va a estar riquisimo! Es increible la atencion que pusieron en cada detalle, buscando excelencia en todos los platos. Esperamos que vengan con mucho hambre!!!
Today we went to the hotel for the official tasting of some of the food that will be served at the wedding. We were blown away by the efforts of the chefs and staff. It was amazing how much attention they gave to every little detail, putting together excellent dishes. We only tried about 30% of what we'll have on April 9th, but we can safely guarantee that it is going to be delicious. Come hungry!!!

About Us...
Belu
Belu nació en Buenos Aires y se crió en el barrio de Caballito, donde aun viven su mamá y su abuela.
Estudió Ciencias Económicas en la Universidad de Buenos Aires y se graduó de Licenciada en Administración.
Desde siempre sintió un afecto muy grande por EE.UU., sobre todo luego de vivir 3 meses en Florida en 1998, como Estudiante de Intercambio. Pero nunca imaginó casarse con un americano!
Belu was born in Buenos Aires and grew up in the neighborhood Caballito, where her mother and grandmother still live.
She studied at the College of Economics at the University of Buenos Aires and graduated with a degree in Business Administration.
She always had an affinity for the United States, especially when she lived as a high school student in Florida for three months in 1998 on a foreign exchange program. But she never imagined she would marry an American!
Andrew
Andrew was born in Chicago and grew up in Wilmette in the same house where his parents still live. He left home to study Economics at the University of Michigan before returning to Chicago to work at The Nielsen Company.
Nielsen offered him an opportunity to move to Buenos Aires in 2008, and he jumped at the chance. He knew he would have new experiences and learn some Spanish, but didn't expect to find the love of his life.

Nielsen le ofreció mudarse a Buenos Aires en el 2008 y él aceptó entusiasmado. Sabía que iba a vivir una experiencia única y aprender Castellano, pero nunca pensó que iba a encontrar el amor de su vida.

Tourism Info
Tours - We haven't tried most of these ourselves, but they are likely your best bets for group tours. Anyone looking for an individual tour, let us know and we can give you some references.
Things to do and see in Buenos Aires: Buenos Aires has a ton of sights to see and fun things to do. Here's a brief list of places we recommend:
Recommended Restaurants Buenos Aires is an excellent eating city. You generally can't go wrong simply stepping into any place that looks good. But here are some of our favorites:
One other important note - Argentine restaurants often charge a "cubierto." This literally translates to cover charge. It is usually between 4 and 8 pesos. Don't be surprised when this ends up on your bill. They do this in Italy as well. For tipping:
Places to travel to within the country: One of the great things about Argentina are all the other places worth seeing in the country. Here is a brief list with some links that may help.
The Official Government Bus Tour
Free Walking Tours
Buenos Aires Urban Bike Tour
Tango dinner shows - our favorite is Esquina Homero Manzi and we also recommend Madero Tango and Esquina Carlos Gardel
Things to do and see in Buenos Aires: Buenos Aires has a ton of sights to see and fun things to do. Here's a brief list of places we recommend:
Plaza de Mayo, La Casa Rosada - the most important place of heritage in the city with the president's house, the national cathedral , and the historic government house
The Obelisk
San Telmo neighborhood
Day-trip to Tigre - a lot to do and see
Day trip to Colonia, Uruguay - take a boat across the Rio de la Plata and visit the small city known for its historic quarter
Recoleta Cemetery - In the heart of the city, a remarkable cemetery where many famous individuals are buried, including Eva Peron
MALBA - the Latin American art museum
MNBA - the fine art museum
Museo de Evita - Museum devoted to Eva Peron
Palermo Lakes Park and Rose Garden
Buenos Aires Design - A neat space worth visiting for a drink or even to shop. Home to the Hard Rock Cafe and other cool restaurants.
Puerto Madero - the most modern area in Buenos Aires loaded with restaurants. Also home to a casino.
El Ateneo Bookstore - An old opera house turned into a huge bookstore and cafe
La Boca - this famous neighborhood is not the safest area, so be careful of pickpockets and keep on the main streets.
Japanese Gardens - Don't let the small cover charge scare you. A peaceful spot in the bustling city.
Recommended Restaurants Buenos Aires is an excellent eating city. You generally can't go wrong simply stepping into any place that looks good. But here are some of our favorites:
Beef: El Estrebe, Campo Bravo, La Josefina, Cabana Las LilasView our map with all of these places identified. Guia Oleo is another great resource (but it's in Spanish).
Italian: Guido's Bar (cash only), Il Gran Caruso, Mancini
Others: Tea Connection, Museo Evita, Milion, Voulez Bar
Heladerias: Argentina has some of the best ice cream in the world. We highly recommend Volta or Persicco, but often times the best thing is to just walk in to any ice cream shop and give it a try.
One other important note - Argentine restaurants often charge a "cubierto." This literally translates to cover charge. It is usually between 4 and 8 pesos. Don't be surprised when this ends up on your bill. They do this in Italy as well. For tipping:
10% is normal for a restaurant. Generally, you cannot put tip on a credit card, even if you pay your bill that way. Tips must be made in cash.
You don't need to tip taxi drivers, unless you particularly like the service.
You don't need to tip bartenders
A couple pesos is normal for people who help with bags or flagging taxis
Places to travel to within the country: One of the great things about Argentina are all the other places worth seeing in the country. Here is a brief list with some links that may help.
Bariloche - in the foothills of the Andes Mountains, this place is great for fun in the outdoors
Iguazu Falls - in the north of Argentina on the border with Brazil. Best to make this trip if you have a Brazilian travel visa as well.
El Calafate - at the southern tip of the Patagonia, the highlight are the amazing glaciers, and yes, you can walk on them.
Ushuaia - The southernmost city in the world. A beautiful and peaceful place for outdoor fun complete with penguins.
Mendoza - the fourth-largest city in Argentina, known for its wine production. Visit wineries or tours that climb the Andes with a view of Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Americas.
Puerto Madryn - founded by a Welsh community, it is known for whale and penguin watching. It will be just a bit early in the season for the whales, but perhaps you will get lucky.
For those traveling from abroad
Some things to know about visiting Buenos Aires
Immigration: A valid passport is necessary to enter the country, but you will not need a visa. However, Argentina has instituted a reciprocal fee for visitors from the US, Canada, and Australia. For Americans, the fee is $140 per person. This was done because Argentines must pay the same for visiting the US when they apply for their visa. The good news is you can come back as much as you want for the next five years. This fee is paid in the Buenos Aires airport and you can use a credit card.
Flights: The airport code for Ezeiza Airport is EZE. Prices fluctuate a bit, and direct flights are available from certain cities in the US. When planning flights it is a good idea to keep in mind that the party on Saturday night will go very late, so leaving on Sunday evening is possible, but you may be tired if you can't stay another night.
Discounted Flights: We have arranged for a discount of 5% on all flights with American Airlines, Iberia Airlines, and British Airways for people coming to the wedding. The only catch is that we need at least 10 people to take part in the offer for it to apply. Simply go to their website and enter the following promotion code: 8641DF
Arrival: From the airport, the best thing to do is hire a taxi. The cost should not exceed 200 pesos to get to the city. (Currently 1 US Dollar = 4 Pesos.) Make sure you have the address of your destination written down, including the neighborhood as most drivers do not speak English.
Hotels: The following options are the best we have uncovered for our group:
At this moment there are some very good deals via Expedia.com:
Park Chateau Unique Hotel
Park Plaza Unique Hotel
Park Elegance Unique Hotel
...all three are well located (especially the Plaza and Chateau) and this offer is going to be very hard to beat. It may be that you have to pay in advance. But the price is roughly 50% off and includes a Tango Show.
In addition you can see a list of hotels where we have arranged special prices. When contacting any of these hotels, mention our names and that you will be here for our wedding. Also make sure you are receiving the quoted price.
