Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
You should arrive at 4 pm. The ceremony will start at 4:30 pm.
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
The dress code's theme is Mediterranean Black Tie Glam. This is Black Tie with personality: Think vibrant colours, romantic silhouettes, and fashion-forward fun. We’re talking flowy fabrics, bold pastels, and tropical tones, like sorbet pink, citrus orange, buttery yellow, soft green, or dreamy lilac. Floor-length dresses, statement suits, and your best evening style, with a playful, sun-drenched twist. But no white or red.
Question
Where should I stay?
Answer
We’re so grateful you’re making the trip to celebrate with us! If you can swing a few extra days off, we highly recommend spending time in Lisbon, it’s the perfect excuse for a little getaway. We will be staying in Estoril, at the Hotel Palácio, because we want to be by the beach and away from Lisbon's bustling city centre. Estoril and Lisbon are the same distance away from the wedding venue. Some of you have expressed interest in staying in the same hotel as us. If you wish, we have a discount code you can use: "catanderik". You can use it at checkout for a 10% discount. We have a cool group of people who've already booked to stay at the Hotel Palácio, and we can't wait to have breakfast together on Monday! Haha If you prefer to stay closer to the venue for the night, Alenquer is a charming option known for its vineyards. It's perfect if you're after a relaxed stay with great wine and countryside views. For the best Lisbon experience, we suggest staying in the city centre, especially in neighbourhoods like Rato, Príncipe Real, or Saldanha.
Question
Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?
Answer
Yes, there’s parking at the venue! With that said, we’ll be providing transport from Lisbon’s city centre to the venue, so you can just sit back and enjoy the day. On the way back, we recommend Uber as the quickest and cheapest option. Alternatively, you’ll find taxis and Ubers easily available.
Question
Can I bring a date?
Answer
Yes, absolutely! Whether it’s a friend, a partner, or someone in between, we’d love for you to bring a plus one. We came together thanks to the wedding of our dear friends Cecilia and Stian, so nothing would make us happier than if our celebration became part of someone else’s love story too. Just make sure to RSVP for your plus one as well.
Question
Are children allowed?
Answer
While we love your little ones, our wedding will be an adults-only celebration. We hope this gives you a chance to unwind, celebrate, and enjoy a well-deserved night out!
