Weddings in Portugal

Want to say 'I do' in Portugal? You've chosen well – it has wow-factor food and drink, scenic ceremony spots and a short flight time of about three hours. The year-round sunshine's the cherry on top.

From dramatic clifftops to flour-soft beaches, you can bank on your wedding snaps having the ultimate romantic backdrop here. And if you'd rather save the coastal beauty spots for your evening celebrations, you can split the day in two and say your vows at a grand Gothic church or a flower-speckled garden.

Especially on a such a big day, food and drink has that special way of bringing people together. Your wedding in Portugal will seriously impress in this department – think loaded seafood platters, crisp wines and traditional sweet pastries. Your guests won't go hungry, that's for sure.

Weddings in Portugal are as picturesque, relaxed and classy as they come. But that doesn't mean you have to scrimp on the partying. Lively entertainment and hours of dancing are at the heart of Portuguese receptions, so make sure your shoes are comfy – your celebrations are likely to stretch into the early hours.
