If you book any night of the week besides Saturday night you’ll likely get a lower wedding venue rate. Rental fees also vary per month—you’ll get a better deal (wedding promotions)  if you book a date during low season (usually considered the months of November through March).

No. Normally we avoid booking another event /wedding for the same day — we want the staff’s attention to be focused entirely on your event. We will be your Exclusive wedding venue.

Check in our rental rules page.

We have several wedding packages all-inclusive for you to choose. You can choose whichever best suits you needs for your special day! Portugal wedding packages: Wedding Packages.

Any wedding package can be customized for your wedding ceremony based on your needs. However, customization will be quoted.

Many couples chose getting married in Portugal as they want a beach wedding by the sea. Ceremonies can be conducted on the beach but you need a license to do this.  The wedding venue or a wedding planner can help you organize this. 

Most couples these days are working professionals and are simply too busy to plan a wedding day with it’s many details. Wedding planning can be overwhelming and stressful when you do not have the time that is needed to put into it. Your destination wedding in Portugal is such an important – and expensive – event in your life: it makes sense to hire a professional to assist you during the process.

The first thing is to decide whether to do this in Portugal wedding destination or your home country. It is possible to legally marry in Portugal, but there is quite a bit of paperwork to go through and translate and so I would advise you use the services of someone here that can help. We can recommend people. What most couple’s do however is getting all the legalities done at home and then come here for the wedding Portugal.

The father walks to the Brides right.  The best way to remember this is to think of the old legend…. when the father walks down the aisle he needs his right hand free, to hold his sword, as he is protecting his daughter! 

The Groom is on the Brides right.  In the same way as for her father, the Groom needs his right hand free to hold his sword to protect her!  After the ceremony, you both turn to walk back down the aisle…. the Grooms right hand is then free to hold his wife’s hand!

There are lots of options.  They can stand throughout the Ceremony, either side of the Bride and Groom or they can sit in the front row.  There are no rules we need to follow.  What every you think will work for your perfect wedding day.

Our catering fees include a full open bar until 3 a.m, or 12 hours of service counting after the wedding ceremony begins.

The best thing to do if you're marrying far away from where most of your guests live is to send out save-the-date cards notices that include your wedding date and wedding villa location. This "card" can be as simple as a letter from you both. Then send the accommodations and travel information in a separate mailing about four months before the wedding day.

If you don’t choose any of our Portugal wedding packages that include stay or if you have more guests that our wedding villa can handle it, we suggest hotels nearby that you can select according to your possibilities:



- Sana Estoril Hotel

- Hotel Londres

- Vila Gale Estoril

- Farol Desing Hotel

- Hotel Cidadela

- Hotel Miragem



An invitation can be very simple or ornate. The wedding invitation styles depending factors include your budget and your personal taste and style. Also keep in mind, your wedding invitation will give guests an idea of what kind of wedding to expect.

We recommend that every couple develop a weather contingency plan if you are getting married in this outside venue. The contingency plan can be an indoor location. It is also important to know that almost all musicians would be unable to play their instruments in any kind of inclement weather, making a weather contingency plan even more important to your wedding planning in this exclusive wedding venue.

You have all the location information you need (maps, GPS coordinates, address) at our location page.

We have a private park inside of the Villa’s property. However, you can park outside, were you can find a free public park in front of our wedding villa.

If you want to have the public park available only for your wedding date, to make sure that your guests have place to park, you have to pay rental fee to Municipal Council.

Yes. Inside of our wedding villa, we have special access for people with reduced mobility and an elevator for wheelchair users.

No problem. We can reorder and adapt the wedding menu according to your preferences.

21 -  Are kids welcome in the wedding venue?

The answer is a clear “yes”. Children aren´t just welcome at our wedding venue, we want them to enjoy every minute!

We can also arrange a good place for children to paddle with babysitter supervision or a place where babies can rest during the event also with babysitting on request.

22 -  What kind of weather does Portugal wedding destination have?

We get this question a lot. We would recommend that you check our weather page.

23 - Does your outside venue have a noise restriction?

As our wedding villa is often close to residential area, we are bound to receive complaints about the level of noise, especially with wedding bands playing in the garden until midnight or later.

In order to avoid that, we recommend that you choose to get ambient music outdoors and keep the accepted noise level to become a relatively quiet area. Leave the loud music to indoor disco area.
