The wedding day itself on Saturday, May 22 is fully on us — ceremony, meal, drinks, everything. Every gathering outside of the wedding day (Thursday, Friday, Sunday) is self-hosted — casual meet-ups where each guest covers their own way. We'll help with reservations and logistics where useful.

See the Where to Stay page for our curated hotel/pousada/Airbnb list. Book as early as you can — Búzios fills up fast for late May. Feel free to consider your own options too.

If you're a US citizen — yes, apply for an eVisa at brazil.vfsevisa.com at least a month before you fly (processing takes up to 10 business days). If you're a European citizen — Germany, Spain, and most of Europe — no visa is required for tourist stays up to 90 days; a valid passport is enough. Full details on the How to Get There page.

We love the little ones in your life — but the wedding day itself is an adult-only celebration. Kids are of course welcome to join you for any of the surrounding self-hosted gatherings (Thursday, Friday, Sunday).

May in Búzios is warm and humid — expect daytime around 25–27°C (77–81°F), evenings cooler at 18–20°C (65–68°F), with the occasional passing shower. Pack light, breathable fabrics, sunscreen, a hat, sandals or shoes you can wear on sand, and a light layer for cooler evenings and boat rides. The specific dress code for the wedding day will be shared soon.

Búzios is a modern and welcoming town where credit and debit cards are widely accepted. You can use them at most restaurants, hotels, and shops, and even at many of the beach kiosks.

We're planning food options that accommodate different diets — please note your restrictions on your RSVP and we'll do our best to make sure you're covered.

All the days surrounding the wedding day (Thursday, Friday, Sunday) are optional — but they still require RSVP so we can plan headcounts. If your flight lands late, message us and we'll help coordinate transport from Rio.

Safety and Health: Búzios is a very peaceful and safe destination for tourists, but we recommend taking out travel insurance with health coverage in case of any emergencies during your stay in Brazil.

Insect Repellent and Sunscreen: As the climate is tropical and coastal, don’t forget to use sunscreen during the day and keep some insect repellent handy for the late afternoon and early evening.

Power Outlets and Voltage: The voltage in Búzios is 110V, 10A, and the standard electrical outlet in Brazil is Type N (three round pins arranged in a triangular shape). It’s a good idea to bring a universal travel adapter with you.
