FAQs

The Wedding Website of Jennifer Brown and Paul Dorney
Question

When should we arrive to Porto?

Answer

While our first event isn’t until June 9, we highly recommend arriving no later than June 8. This will give you time to settle in and avoid any last-minute travel hiccups. Been there, done that—and we’d miss you too much if travel delays kept you away!

Question

Where should we stay during the wedding week?

Answer

Upon research, we've recommended hotels that we feel will best suit each family’s needs. You’re, of course, welcome to stay anywhere you’d like within the Porto area. Should you want to browse our recommendations, check out the travel section.

Question

Will transportation be provided on the wedding day?

Answer

Yes! A shuttle bus will bring everyone to the villa, and at the end of the night, it will safely return everyone to the same location in Porto.

Question

What should we pack for the wedding day?

Answer

Arrive in casual clothing. Be sure to pack a swimsuit and sunscreen for pool time, your wedding attire for the ceremony and reception, and an extra change of clothes for late-night lounging if you’d like.

Question

What is the plan for the day of the wedding?

Answer

We’ll start the day slow with breakfast and mimosas. We encourage everyone to spend the morning and early afternoon by the pool, relaxing and enjoying quality time together. Since our wedding is so intimate, you can expect to see the bride and groom soaking up the fun with all of you, too!

Question

Will there be a place for us to get ready?

Answer

Absolutely! Upon arrival, each family will have a designated bedroom in the villa to relax, get ready, and store personal belongings throughout the day. Just bring your wedding attire with you, and you’ll have a comfortable space to prepare before the festivities begin.

Question

What is the wedding attire?

Answer

Black tie optional

Question

What should we expect for the kids on the day and night of the wedding?

Answer

Our nieces and nephews are so special to us, and we want them to enjoy the day just as much as the adults. We’ll have a babysitter to ensure everyone can relax and feel at ease. The kids will be invited and encouraged to play and have fun! We know they won’t want to sit at the dinner table for hours on end—and we wouldn’t expect them to. We’re aiming for a balance: a relaxing environment for the adults and a playful one for the kids.

Question

What should we expect from the reception?

Answer

Look forward to a curated dinner, delicious wine, dessert, music, and tons of fun!
