FAQs

Question

Why Portugal?

Answer

We're thrilled to announce our wedding celebration in gorgeous Albufeira, Portugal! What mattered most to us when planning our wedding was simply spending lots of quality time with everyone. While we explored options closer to home, we found that a destination wedding abroad better fit our budget and allowed us to create an experience that truly felt like "us." We've chosen this incredible destination for our wedding, and we can't wait to share the magic with you. We're so excited to create an extended celebration filled with fun, laughter, and unforgettable moments as we explore a brand new place together. It's going to be the adventure of a lifetime, and we're so happy you'll be a part of it!

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

We're envisioning a formal celebration, but we also want you to be comfortable in the warm Algarve climate. Festive Formal is a perfect choice! Think elegant, breezy, colorful, and ready to celebrate.

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

Yes! Please include any food allergies you or your guests may have in your RSVP. Please note that the meal selection will be separate from the main RSVP as we are still making final meal choices.

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Answer

You can find a schedule of wedding events on the "Schedule" tab. We'd love for you to join us, but attendance at any additional events is completely optional.

Question

What day should I arrive?

Answer

Our first wedding event takes place on Saturday, May 30, 2026 from 9:30am - 4:30pm and, if you would like to join us, we recommend leaving the US by Thursday evening to arrive in Portugal by Friday, May 29, 2026. If you are unable to attend the first event, the wedding will take place on Monday, June 1st so arriving any day prior to Monday is great!

Question

Help! I have a guest on my invitation and don’t have anyone to take with me!

Answer

Don’t let traveling solo stop you from coming! We’d love for you to be there, and you certainly don’t need a plus-one for your travel arrangements. If you’re interested in sharing an Airbnb or hotel with other guests, please reach out to us. We’re happy to play matchmaker and connect you in a group chat to help facilitate shared accommodations.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes! The venue has ample parking available if you have chosen to rent a car and are driving to the venue.

Question

Are you registered?

Answer

Yes we are however, we’ve chosen to make our registry private unless requested. We understand the large commitment and expense our friends and family are making to celebrate with us in Portugal and want to emphasize that your presence is truly the greatest gift. If you really insist on spoiling us, we are registered with Zola and Tiffany or Cole can provide you with a link to view. We’ve also added some splurge-worthy to advantage of the 20% discount given to us for all unpurchased items.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

We'd love for children to join in the festivities! Please include them in your RSVP so we can ensure we have an accurate headcount for all events.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

We wish we could celebrate with all of our loved ones. However, due to limited seating, we are only able to accommodate those named on the invitation. Please contact Cole or Tiffany with any questions.
