Wedding Culture

Answer

The Brazilian wedding experience is all about fun and celebration, with no sit-down dinner or assigned seating. Instead, it's a lively party where guests mingle, enjoy music, and dance the night away. There will be an open bar and food available throughout the celebration, ensuring that no one goes hungry or thirsty. We want everyone to get to know each other before the big day, which is why we’re excited to have you join us for additional events leading up to the wedding. Keep an eye on our website for more details soon!

Question

What are the best airports to consider for flights to Brazil?

Answer

We recommend checking flights from some of the main international airports that often offer great prices and direct or convenient connecting flights to Brazil. Consider the following airports: - Orlando, FL (MCO) - Miami, FL (MIA) - New York, NY (JFK) - Boston, MA (BOS) - Austin, TX (AUS) - Washington, DC – Virginia/Maryland (IAD/BWI) - Las Vegas, NV (LAS)

Question

What is the wedding dress code?

Answer

For our special day, we ask guests to dress in business casual attire. Gentlemen, think of a suit without a tie, and ladies, a medium-to-long cocktail dress will be perfect. The ceremony will be outdoors on rocks and grass, so comfortable footwear, such as block heels or flats, is recommended. Ladies, please avoid wearing black or white. Cocktail dresses that end at the knee, as well as short dresses, are not suitable for the occasion.

Question

Is there transportation to and from the wedding venue?

Answer

Yes! We’ve arranged transportation for guests between the hotels and the wedding venue. Detailed information on pick-up locations and times will be provided closer to the date. Please let us know if you have any special transportation needs.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Plus-one options will be included on the invite. If you’d like to add a serious significant other to your invitation, please reach out to us. We would love to offer everyone a plus-one, but we need to be mindful of the venue size constraints. We appreciate your understanding!

Question

Are children invited?

Answer

We love all the little ones, but please be aware that the venue is located atop a mountain with a terrace that does not have guardrails and may not be ideal for children. Additionally, the event will feature an open bar and loud music. While we prefer to keep the celebration adults-only, if you're comfortable bringing your kids and personally supervising them throughout the event, they are welcome to join.

Question

Currency & Exchange Rate

Answer

The currency in Brazil is the Brazilian Real (BRL). ATMs and exchange services are widely available in Rio, and major credit cards are accepted. As of now, 1 USD equals approximately 6 BRL, but rates fluctuate. We recommend checking the rate closer to your trip or using a currency converter app.

September in Rio is warm (70°F to 85°F / 21°C to 29°C), with sunny days and cooler evenings. Pack light, breathable clothing for the day, something nice for the wedding, comfy shoes for the outdoor ceremony, and a light jacket for the evening. Don’t forget sunscreen and sunglasses!
