FAQs

We’ve gathered some common questions to help you plan your trip and enjoy our wedding. If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out to us!
Question

Where is the wedding taking place?

Answer

Our wedding will take place at Quinta do Cerrado, Setúbal, Portugal.

Question

What date and time should we arrive?

Answer

The wedding is on Saturday, August 23, 2025. Please arrive at the venue by 3pm to ensure you don’t miss anything!

Question

Where to stay during the wedding weekend – Lisbon or Setúbal?

Answer

We recommend staying in Setúbal, as the wedding venue (Quinta do Cerrado) is located nearby. Staying in Setúbal will make it much easier to get to and from the venue, especially on the wedding day. Lisbon is about a 45-minute drive away, and traffic or transport logistics could be a hassle. We've listed several hotel options (under Travel section) in Setúbal to suit different budgets. There are also several options available on Airbnb.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

The dress code is Cocktail & Semi-Formal attire. Since it will be summer, we recommend light and breathable fabrics.

Question

Is the wedding outdoors or indoors?

Answer

Our ceremony and cocktail hour will take place outdoors, while the Dinner and party will take place indoors in an air-conditioned reception room, ensuring a comfortable atmosphere for everyone to enjoy the celebration.

Question

How do I get to the wedding venue?

Answer

From Setúbal: ~5–10 min by taxi or Bolt. Bolt is generally very affordable in Portugal. A Bolt ride from Setùbal center to the wedding venue should cost around 5€. From Lisbon: ~45 min drive; we recommend renting a car or booking a taxi/Bolt in advance. A Bolt from Lisbon center to the venue should range between 30€ - 40 €. Driving: Free parking is available at the venue. Staying elsewhere? Contact us in advance if you need help with direction / transport from outside Setúbal.

Question

Will there be transportation from the venue?

Answer

Yes! We will arrange a shuttle service from the venue back to the hotel at the end of the party for guests staying in Setùbal area. We’ll share more details closer to the date.

Question

Will my phone work in Portugal?

Answer

Yes! If you're coming from the EU, your phone plan should work normally. For non-EU guests, consider getting a local SIM card (e.g., Vodafone, MEO, or NOS) or using eSIM services like Airalo.

Question

Should I rent a car?

Answer

If you plan to explore beyond Lisbon, renting a car is a good idea. However, if you're staying mostly in the city, public transport and taxis are great options. Bolt is a very good option as the prices are considerably affordable in Portugal.

Question

Will there be vegetarian/vegan options at the wedding?

Answer

Yes! Please let us know in advance if you have any dietary restrictions so we can accommodate you.

Question

Can I drink the tap water in Portugal?

Answer

Yes, tap water in Portugal is safe to drink! You can also buy bottled water if you prefer.

Question

What local dishes should I try?

Answer

Portugal has amazing food! Be sure to try: Pastel de Nata – Famous custard tart Bacalhau – Traditional codfish dishes Choco Frito – Fried cuttlefish (Setúbal specialty) Ginjinha – Cherry liqueur served in a chocolate cup

Question

Can I bring a plus-one?

Answer

Please check your invitation. If it includes "and guest," then yes! Otherwise, we are keeping the wedding intimate.

Question

How do I RSVP?

Answer

Please RSVP by 23/07/2025 through our wedding website or by contacting us directly.

Question

What will the weather be like in August?

Answer

August is hot and sunny in Portugal, with temperatures around 25-35°C (77-95°F). Bring light clothing, sunscreen, and sunglasses!
