FAQ
What is the cost of renting the venue to celebrate a wedding, icebreaker party, after-wedding party or social event?
It will depend largely on the type of event, the number of guests, and the space’s availability for your needs.
If you’re planning a workshop, concert, or a smaller activity that doesn’t require extensive production or setup and takedown planning, we can discuss your budget taking into account the dimensions and logistics of your event.

How far in advance do I need to book the venue for my wedding or event?
To secure your space and reserve your event date, we suggest booking at least 3 months in advance. Some couples even book up to a year ahead to avoid any risks and ensure their date is secured well in advance.
To confirm your reservation and lock in your event date, you will need to make a deposit, sign our contract and regulations.
Of course, you can reserve the venue with less advance notice, but please keep in mind that availability at El Suspiro is subject to our schedule of cultural activities and other events.
How far in advance can suppliers enter the location to begin setup and preparations?
Depending on the characteristics and requirements of your event, some vendors may need to access the venue up to 72 hours before the event. Once your event has concluded, all vendors have up to 24 hours to dismantle, clean, and return their areas in the same condition as when they received them, as stipulated within our regulations.
Does the venue have adequate restrooms for the guests and attendees of my event?
Our facilities include six guest restrooms at the back of our main ground floor esplanade.
We also have two additional small restrooms located at the top of the property, accessible via the steps leading up to our terrace.
If your event requires it, portable restrooms can be set up in a designated area within the main ground floor space.
Are there any time restrictions for holding my wedding or event?
Our venue is located in a traditional residential neighbourhood with a strong sense of community; we respect this, which is why we only accept events between 8:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. at the latest.
As part of our responsible practices, we will always be fully respectful of the peace and quiet of the Xochimilco neighbourhood in Oaxaca.
