São Paulo, Brazil

For weddings in São Paulo

São Paulo venues span Jardins ballrooms, Pinheiros creative lofts, Vila Madalena parties, and countryside estates outside the city.

São Paulo weddings and corporate events routinely host hundreds of guests across Jardins hotels, Pinheiros lofts, and countryside weekend venues. Multi-generational lists mean app installs fail — a QR that opens in the browser is the practical path.

Traffic between neighborhoods fragments arrival times. One shared gallery keeps early ceremony guests and late reception arrivals contributing to the same album.

BRL guest-cap tiers should cover the full invite list, not just seated dinner, because Brazilian celebrations often include extended family who circulate between rooms.

Portuguese prompts on stationery matter. Elders join when the card feels native to the paper suite rather than like a tech afterthought.

    First-look reactions, table laughter, sparkler exits. The room captures angles a single photographer simply cannot be at.

Setup tips

Setup tips for the wedding daySão Paulo

  1. 1

    Print one QR per table

    Slot it next to the menu or favor. Couples who do this collect 3–5× more uploads than a single ceremony QR.

  2. 2

    Add the QR to your welcome sign

    Catches the cocktail-hour crowd before they put their phones away — usually your best candid window.

  3. 3

    Set a sensible per-guest limit

    20–30 shots keeps it candid and the gallery scannable. Bump higher if you want short video clips too.

  4. 4

    Put Portuguese on the QR card

    A one-line Portuguese prompt under the English scan instruction helps grandparents and out-of-town relatives join without asking younger guests for help.
