9:00 pm
This will be our first night on the island! We'll find a place for everyone to meet up, watch the fireworks, drink some wine, catch up, and kick off the festivities. Maybe followed by drinks at a local bar.
3:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Casual boat and swim wear
We've chartered a boat out of Funchal to take us all for dolphin watching and swimming. The boat trip will be from 3pm to 6pm, with an open bar of beer, red and white wine, soda, and water. The name of the Catamaran is Seaborn and they’re expecting our group at the meeting point at 2:30pm. We will have the opportunity to swim, so plan accordingly. This is the link to the meeting point: https://maps.app.goo.gl/GoUaXFKWyCpqe5BB9?g_st=ic All family members are welcome on this.
5:00 pm - 11:45 pm
Cocktail Attire. The ceremony and cocktail hour are on grass so keep that in mind for your shoe choices.
The wedding venue is on the other side of the island from Funchal. It's about a 1 hour drive, so we have hired a bus to take people to and from.
Shuttle

The above two hotels will be the two pick-up spots: 3:15pm from Residence Porto Mare and 3:25pm from Pestana Carlton. If you do decide to stay somewhere else, just factor in getting to one of those hotels for the pick up. The island doesn't have Uber, but they do have Bolt, so you may want to download that app ahead of time.

We'll be in Lisbon from Tuesday, June 11th until Saturday, June 15th, flying to Funchal, Madeira on the morning of June 15th.
