Events will start on Thursday, June 19th so plan accordingly! Typical flights from the US are red eyes, we would recommend an outbound flight no later than Wednesday, June 18th (arrives morning of June 19th) in order to adjust to the time change.
Sintra: Sintra is a beautiful, quaint, fairytale-like town located in the rolling hills west of Lisbon. It has many palaces scattered around which can be toured and explored as well as cute restaurants and shops. It is a quiet town with minimal nightlife, but gorgeous views. The Wedding Celebration Saturday will take place at Quinta da Bella Vista which is tucked away within Sintra. If you choose to stay in Sintra on Friday and Saturday night to be closer to the festivities, we recommend you stay at the Hotel NH Sintra Centro to be walking distance from the town, Penha Longa for a more resort style experience, or an Airbnb. If you are getting to town before the wedding we recommend a few days in Lisbon before you move up to Sintra as it is a small neighborhood and a couple of days in Sintra is plenty. We will have transportation for pick up and drop off at a central point in Sintra on the wedding night. Lisbon: Lisbon is a major city with lots to see and do and plenty of nightlife. We will have buses organized to and from a central point in Lisbon (approximately 35 min. ride) to the venue on Saturday for guests who are staying in the city. We have put the hotels we would recommend under the "Travel" tab but feel free to book a hotel/airbnb within your budget but we recommend staying in the Principe Real neighborhood. Cascais: If you are looking for more of a beach stay rather than a city stay, Cascais is calling your name! Cascais is a seaside town outside of Lisbon and is about 30 minutes from the venue in Sintra and a 30 minute drive to the welcome party. It is more of a relaxed vibe with plenty of hotels and restaurants.
We have an RSVP tab at the top of our website where you can head to RSVP!
Our wedding is formal, meaning women should wear floor length dresses and men should wear suits - fun colors encouraged!
Lisbon is a hard city to drive in and the streets of Sintra are small and a lot of one ways. Ubers are readily available as well as the train so we recommend those as better options! We will have transportation arranged at central pick up points for the Wedding night.
We encourage you to make a family trip out of this but we are keeping the wedding to an adults only event unless specified on your invitation. Childcare accommodations can be arranged so please reach out if needed!
Although your presence is the best gift we could receive, we realize that some of you would like to know about a physical gift. Right here on the wedding website you can find all the links where we are registered under the "Registry" tab.
