Planning a Wedding in Rio de Janeiro

Copacabana Beach, Sugar Loaf Mountain, amazing nightlife. Rio de Janeiro is a great place for a destination wedding, and well-connected with major U.S. cities.

If you decide to get married in Rio, you will be choosing a vibrant world city famed for its lively people and diverse mixture of nature and big city life. There are plenty of venues to choose from, including grand city center hotels like the Belmond Copacabana Palace, which offers opulent luxury and views along one of the most famous beaches in the world. At the other end of the beach, both the Sofitel Rio de Janeiro Copacabana and the Hotel Caesar Park Ipanema also have great facilities for your big day.

If you want to get away from the city center and feel more in touch with nature, book your event at the Casa de Santa Teresa. This venue is perfect for outdoor weddings, with amazing views down over Sugar Loaf, Christ the Redeemer and the rest of the city.

Each of the venues offer tailored wedding packages to make sure everything runs smoothly, but couples should be aware that while December to March are the hottest, busiest months, they are also the wettest. Those planning an outdoor wedding should pay particular attention to the fact that tropical downpours usually occur every afternoon.

After the ceremony itself, Rio offers a huge amount of activities for your guests, including paragliding over Copacabana beach and climbing Sugar Loaf. It will certainly be a memorable trip for all involved!
