A Note from the Bride & Groom

We can’t tell you how excited we are to share this important day with all of you. For us we are celebrating so much more than a wedding, but a lifelong commitment filled with laughter, adventure & lots of love.

Like a proper Carnival, our wedding won’t be just one day so please join us in celebration at our reception August 17th, at 2:00pm, following day the 18^th on our Pool party by the sea.

Each one of you has played an important role in our story, and we are excited to have you as witnesses as we step into this great journey together.

We also appreciate you travelling so far to celebrate with us.

With Love,

Tom and Waneska

Dress code

We want to remind you we are having a Carnival, so you have total freedom to wear whatever you want.

You can wear fancy traditional wedding clothes, or you can wear a costume, like during the actual Carnival, whatever you feel like, BUT we recommend you choose something light as the Northeast of Brazil is quite warm and humid. The temperature ranges between 23-29 degrees in August.
We want to make it as easy as possible for you so we will have Makeup artists, Hair stylists and accessories you can choose to make your outfit more like a Carnival outfit.
