Travel FAQ

  • When should I arrive/leave?

    We recommend arriving no later than Thursday, August 28th early afternoon, in time for the Welcome Event at 6pm. For departures, we recommend leaving anytime starting Sunday late afternoon, so that you can join us for our farewell brunch.

  • Are there any recommended hotels for out-of-town guests?

    Yes, Tivoli Mofarrej is the hotel we’re staying and recommend guests to stay too. Transportation will be provided from Tivoli Mofarrej to all events. Please check the accommodations page for more details.

  • How's the weather going to be?

    It will be winter in Brazil. You can expect comfortable temperatures (average low of 60F and average high of 75F) and little precipitation.

  • I want to take the opportunity to visit other places in Brazil. Where should I go?

    We listed some travel ideas here. Even though it will be winter in Brazil, anywhere in the North/Northeast will be warm and perfect for a beach holiday. The mild winter temperatures also make more adventurous destinations, such as Pantanal and Amazon, more pleasant.

  • I need help to organize this trip. Who should I contact?

    Bespoke Travel is the travel agency we recommend. Feel free to reach out to them via e-mail (sales2@bespoketravel.com.br), Whatsapp (Yasmin +55 11 91627-4853) or phone call (Rafael +55 11 99774-7515).

  • Should I rent a car?

    In Sao Paulo, you will be perfectly fine taking Ubers everywhere (we recommend Uber Black only). We will provide transportation from Tivoli Mofarrej to the events. More details to come! Bespoke Travel can assist with transfer from/to airport too if needed.

  • Do I need a visa to go to Brazil?

    Citizens from many countries, including the EU and most of LatAm, can enter Brazil for up to 90 days without a visa for tourism purposes. Starting April 10, 2025, US passport holders will likely need an e-visa. However, it’s recommended that guests check with their local Brazilian consulate to confirm the specific requirements for their nationality. Find more information here.

Wedding FAQ

  • How different is a Brazilian wedding?

    Brazilian and American weddings are fairly similar. One notable difference lies in the dining experience, as we have no sit down dinner with assigned seats. In Brazilian weddings, it's more common to have a buffet-style meal with various food stations, fostering a lively and interactive atmosphere. Another key difference is that the reception lasts longer, so be ready for several hours of dancing!

  • What should I wear?

    The dress code is formal. Weddings in Brazil are more formal than in the US. For men, we recommend suit and tie.

    For women, we recommend gowns or dressy midi dresses. The entire venue is paved so any type of high heels will work. We will provide flip flops later in the evening. We kindly ask that women avoid white at the welcome event and wedding.

    If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

  • When and where is the wedding taking place?

    Both the ceremony and the reception will be at Hipica Santo Amaro, starting at 1pm. For more details, please check the schedule page.

  • Can I bring a plus one?

    We have planned our celebration with a specific number of guests in mind and kindly request that you join us without additional attendees, other than those listed in your invitation. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to sharing this special day with you!

  • Will transportation be provided?

    Yes, we will have transportation provided from the two suggested hotels to the venue. More details to come.

  • Are children welcome at the wedding?

    For locals, we kindly ask that you stick to the guests who were listed in the invitation. For those traveling from abroad, we understand that you might want to bring your kids to travel around Brazil and that’s totally fine. We can’t wait to celebrate with them too!

  • Will there be dietary options available for guests with dietary restrictions?

    Yes, the buffet-style will incorporate all sorts of dietary restrictions. If you have any restrictions other than vegan/vegetarian, please let us know so that we can plan accordingly.

  • Is there a schedule of events for the wedding weekend?

    Yes, please visit the schedule page for more updated information. We will host additional events on Thursday and Sunday only for our family and friends who are traveling from afar.
