Yes! We’re so excited you can travel to celebrate our wedding and can’t wait to enjoy this special time with the whole family. Portugal and our venue are very kid-friendly, with plenty of great activities for families to enjoy. We’ll also be sharing babysitting services on the FAQ page soon. We kindly ask that children do not attend the ceremony itself—it will be a short part of the day, and we look forward to celebrating with everyone afterwards!
Due to limited room availability at the Quinta da Pacheca, we will be coordinating transportation on the wedding day from Vila Gale Hotel for guests that will be staying off-site. Additional transportation support can be found on the travel page!
After the wedding, we will be recovering the day after and headed down to Lisbon! We will be coordinating a sunset catamaran for any guests in town on Wednesday, August 5th along with some other activities. We would love to connect with friends & family who will be in the area. Lisbon is a great lively city with lots of things to see!
