How we met

Our Story

It started with a swipe. We matched on Bumble and met for a first date at a Takashi Murakami exhibition at the museum in San Francisco.

One exhibition turned into an all-day adventure — up and over Nob Hill, down into the Mission, talking until the city lit up. By the end of day one, Sally had even learned her first words of Portuguese (in the diminutive, naturally).

A few years and two passports later, we're bringing everyone we love to Rio to celebrate. Brazil, Australia, and everywhere in between — we can't wait to see you there.

Our City

Things to Do in Rio

Come early, stay late. Here's where we'd send our favourite people while you're in town.

01

Cristo Redentor

The view from Christ the Redeemer is worth every one of the 700 metres up Corcovado.

02

Sugarloaf Mountain

Ride the cable car up Pão de Açúcar at sunset for the best panorama of the bay.

03

Ipanema & Copacabana

Claim a spot on the sand, order an água de coco, and watch Rio go by.

04

Santa Teresa & Selarón

Cobbled streets, artists' studios and the famous tiled Escadaria Selarón — our wedding neighbourhood.

05

Tijuca Forest

The world's largest urban rainforest — waterfalls and trails minutes from the city.

06

Jardim Botânico

Towering palms and quiet corners — a green escape from the summer heat.

Getting There

Travel & Stay

Everything you need to plan the trip. Reach out if you'd like a hand with anything.

Flights & airport

Most international guests fly into Rio’s international airport, Galeão (GIG); Santos Dumont (SDU) is mainly for domestic flights. Routes and times change — check current options when you book.

Where to stay

Our venue is up in hilly Santa Teresa. For charm and proximity, look at Santa Teresa pousadas; Botafogo, Flamengo or Catete balance access and amenities; Ipanema or Copacabana are the classic beach base (around a 20–30 minute ride). Specific recommendations to follow.

Getting around

Uber and 99 are easy, affordable and the simplest way up to the venue — Santa Teresa’s streets are steep and winding, so share the map pin with your driver. More transport details to follow.

What to pack

Late March in Rio is warm summer — light clothes, swimwear, sun protection and shoes you can dance in. Check the forecast closer to the date.
Good to Know

FAQ

Can I bring a plus-one? +

Your invitation names everyone included in your party. If you’re unsure, just ask us — we’re happy to help.

What language will the day be in? +

A joyful mix of Portuguese and English — just like us. Key moments will be shared in both languages so no one misses a thing.

Do I need a visa for Brazil? +

Entry requirements vary by passport and can change, so please check the official rules for your own country well ahead of time, and follow your government’s travel advisory. If you need an invitation letter for your visa, just ask.

What should I wear? +

We’ll share the dress code soon. Plan for a warm Rio evening in a garden setting — there’s grass underfoot, so you might skip the stilettos.

What's the weather like in March? +

Late March in Rio is warm summer. Pack light, breathable clothes and good sun protection, and check the forecast closer to the date — a tropical shower is always possible, so a light layer doesn’t hurt.

Are children welcome? +

It depends on the event — your invitation notes which events are family-friendly and includes your little ones by name. If you’re unsure, just get in touch.
