When do we need to RSVP by?

What is the dress code?

Think Copacabana glamour meets island elegance!


Ladies, cocktail dresses or jumpsuits in bold colors, or tropical prints are encouraged. The ceremony is on the beach, so we recommend flats or chunky heels to keep things stylish and sand-friendly, or feel free to kick off your shoes and go barefoot for the vows, then slip them back on for the reception.

Gents, light suits or linen sets are ideal — tailored, breezy, and festive. Add a pop of color or pattern to embrace the tropical mood. Dress to impress, feel comfortable to dance, and bring the alegria! 🌴✨

What type of reception can we expect?

We’re keeping things relaxed and festive with a cocktail style celebration — no formal sit-down dinner, but plenty of cozy seating and tables if you’d like to take a break. Expect delicious Brazilian dishes, caipirinhas flowing, and lots of dancing. Come ready to mingle, show your moves, and make memories!

What kind of weather should we prepare for?

March is the tail end of summer in Brazil — still warm, sunny, and tropical. Expect highs around 26–30°C (79–86°F) with breezy evenings and the chance of a light sun shower. Perfect beach weather!

Are kids and plus-ones welcome?

Please note that the wedding ceremony and reception are adults-only events. However, children are welcome to join us for the Welcome Drinks and Praia Day on Friday and Sunday. More details about these events will be shared soon!


Invitations are extended to the individuals listed and we kindly ask that no additional guests be added. We truly appreciate your understanding as we aim to keep the event intimate and special.

Will transportation be provided to and from the wedding venue?

Yes. More information will be shared closer to the date. Be sure to save this website and stay tuned for updates.

Is there parking available at the wedding venue?

Yes. Paid parking is available at Folha Beach Club.

Will your wedding be indoors or outdoors?

The ceremony will take place outdoors on the beach, directly in front of Folha Beach Club, followed by the indoor reception at the club itself.

Where should we stay?

Check out our Travel page for hotel recommendations and discounted rates. There are also plenty of great options on Airbnb — just search for “Jurerê” to find places near the wedding venue.

Do we need a travel visa to enter Brazil?

Yes. Canadian and U.S. citizens are required to have a visa to enter Brazil.


Please be sure to check the current requirements and apply online on this website. The application process is fully online and processing times are approximately 10 business days, but we encourage our guests to apply well in advance to avoid any last-minute issues.

How many days should we plan to stay in Florianópolis? What should we do?

If you’d like to explore the island (which we highly recommend), consider staying for at least 5 days — there’s so much to see! With over 40 stunning beaches, scenic trails, and charming coastal villages, Floripa is made for adventure. Check out our Things to Do page for some of our favorite spots!

Should we rent a car?

Uber is available in Jurerê Internacional and throughout Florianópolis. Transportation to and from the wedding venue will be provided, so there’s no need to worry about driving on the big day.


However, if you plan to explore the island, we suggest renting a car. Some areas of Florianópolis are more remote, where Uber may not be available. Public transit is limited and can be a bit tricky for non-Portuguese speakers — so a rental car will give you the most freedom and convenience.


You can book a rental car through our travel agency partner, Orbistur. Please contact them directly using the information provided on the Travel page.

Do people speak English in Florianópolis?

Portuguese is the primary language and while some people — especially those in tourism, restaurants, and hotels — do speak basic English, it’s not guaranteed everywhere.


That said, a friendly attitude and a few Portuguese phrases go a long way! Locals are usually warm and helpful, even with a language barrier. Apps like Google Translate work great offline if downloaded ahead of time.


The staff at Folha Beach Club speak English, so our gringo guests will be well taken care of during the big day.

What is the currency in Brazil?

The local currency is the Brazilian Real (BRL). Credit cards are widely accepted at most restaurants, shops, and hotels. That said, it’s a good idea to carry a bit of cash for beach bars, or smaller spots that may not accept cards. ATMs are available throughout the island.
