welcome to rio!
Official plans for
Rio de Janeiro
For guests arriving early, we have a boat ride and Brazilian BBQ on Thursday, November 5 from 3pm-6:30pm. Be sure to arrive at Marina da Glória at 2:30pm or risk being left behind! We may have the boat stop for an optional swim, so wear swimsuits under your clothes if interested. Food will be included on the boat, and we will bring our own drinks for the cooler onboard. No glass!
The main welcome party will take place during sunset at Clássico Beach Club Leme on Friday, November 6 from 4:30-7:30pm. Food will be included and drinks will be available at the bar. Shoes and sandals are equally suitable since the sand will be optional. Be sure you navigate to the Clássico in Leme, as there are a couple other locations around town.
Wedding on Saturday, November 7 at Vila Áurea (aka Villa Riso on Maps), starting promptly at 4pm. Guests should arrive at 3:30pm. All you can eat and drink. (But like, don't try to find out, psycho.)
The farewell brunch is on Sunday, November 8 from 10am-2pm at a beach kiosk, Espaço A.
No dress code for anything besides the wedding. The outfits we're wearing on this site are fine. (Don't wear white, though, you psycho).

Hotels and
Accommodations
If it's your first time in "the marvelous city," just know that the Cariocas (people from Rio) have a saying: "Rio is not for beginners."
The best place for first-time visitors is the south zone known as Zona Sul. It's typically safer, more expensive, and closer to the beach.
Get in touch with us if you want personal recommendations on where to stay, or just to double-check with us before you book.
