Our special day will be primarily celebrated outdoors, taking advantage of the beautiful scenery and natural ambiance. We've chosen a picturesque location that captures the essence of our love and provides a stunning backdrop for our ceremony. Our reception, however, is a hybrid of indoors and outdoors. Portugal weather is everchanging, so we do have a contingency plan in place in case of inclement weather to ensure the comfort and enjoyment of everyone involved.
Due to venue capacity and our wish to keep the celebration intimate, we are currently limiting invitations to those explicitly named on the invitation. We provided plus ones to our guests that are married or in committed relationships, if there has been a mistake and we missed you, please text/call the Bride or Groom for an update to your invitation. We appreciate your understanding.
We love your little ones, but have decided to make our ceremony and reception an adult-only affair. However, we are excited to share that all other events throughout the weekend are kid-friendly, and we warmly welcome your little ones to join us for those. For those who decide to bring their children, we are coordinating with the venue to provide a childcare option during the ceremony and reception for an additional fee. If you are interested in this service, please reach out to us directly to be included in the separate communication for these specific arrangements. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation, and we can't wait to celebrate with you!
We kindly ask that guests refrain from taking photos during the actual ceremony. This is a special moment that we would like to keep intimate and uninterrupted, and we have professional photographers who will capture every angle. We encourage everyone to be fully present with us during these moments. However, before and after the ceremony, we absolutely welcome and encourage you to take as many photos as you'd like. We're excited to see our wedding through your eyes! Don't forget to use the wedding hashtag #ForeverIyawe
