Questions about the venue
What is included in Villa Cabral's venue fee?+
Contact the venue directly via Instagram or their website for a detailed breakdown. Typical estate venues in Rio include tables, chairs, basic lighting, and event coordination. Catering, florals, and photography are often quoted separately.
Can we hold both ceremony and reception at the same location?+
