Destination Wedding

Why Limit the Celebration
to a Single Weekend?

A destination wedding during the week offers something rare: time.

Quieter beaches, a more relaxed city and the feeling that Rio de Janeiro has slowed down just for you and your guests.

Instead of rushing through a few hours, you create several days of memories together.

A Celebration
Without Rush.

The most common regret couples share after their wedding is simple: "It went by too fast."

A Mini Wedding in Rio transforms one special day into an unforgettable journey with the people who matter most.

Your investment becomes more than an event. It becomes dinners together, beach days, conversations, laughter and memories that last far beyond the ceremony itself.

The Venue & The Stay

Two Places.
One Experience.

Exc Rio — Jockey Club
Celebration Venue
Exc Rio

In the heart of Rio, a place that feels like it doesn't belong to the city — and yet could only exist here. Exc sits within the Jockey Club, facing the Jardim Botânico, surrounded by Atlantic Forest, with the Christ the Redeemer watching over it all.

For your guests, the weekend begins with the right check-in. Hotel Janeiro is minutes from Exc, with ocean views and the energy of Leblon right outside. Modern, thoughtful, exactly where it needs to be.
