We recommend arriving by March 18 or the morning of March 19 so you can join us for the Welcome Party that evening and be rested for the big day!
The ceremony will take place outdoors, right by the beach at the Grand Hyatt Rio. The reception will follow at the same location but indoor. We’ll keep an eye on the weather and will have a rain plan just in case.
Formal attire is required
As with any big city, it’s important to stay aware of your surroundings, especially at night or when using transportation. Stick to tourist-friendly neighborhoods, use ride-sharing apps like Uber, and travel in groups when possible. We’ll share tips and recommendations for safe, fun exploring as well as private guided tours options for those who wants to explore more of the city.

Yes we love our little ones as much as we love a good dance party - and we hope they will be there for both!
