Portugal Destination

Your wedding in Portugal: discovering old Lusitania

Against the backdrop of a sweeping oceanscape, beautiful quinta, majestic vineyard or an amazing palace, getting married in Portugal is sure to guarantee you the momentous marriage, not to mention a wonderfully romantic change of scene

Find the best venue for your wedding in Portugal

As you plan your ideal matrimony, the Portuguese way will simply not disappoint! The country is steeped in history, known for the picturesque location, its temperate climate and easy accessibility, both from the United Kingdom and most Old Continent countries.

Want to jump the proverbial broom in a city synonymous with heritage and fine wines from the Douro Valley? Look no further than Porto, characterised by its distinctive port and cobbled streets, capped off by its UNESCO World Heritage medieval epicentre!

Failing that, head south to the pastoral and beautiful Algarve before contemplating your majestic marriage in one of the country’s famed quintas, overlooking the sea and nestled alongside a far-flung beach or two, with a breathtaking mountain view to boot!

Perhaps your wedding sights are set on some quaint little fishing town… Well, Portugal has you covered! Located on the magnificent Portuguese Riviera, a stone’s throw from Lisbon, is the remote resort of Cascais. Immerse yourselves in dolce far niente, Portuguese style, from a destination marrying the superb Atlantic coastline with the quintessential stately villa that harks back to the nineteenth century.

Whatever the package, partner up with Once Upon A Time and begin planning your very own celebration of love in the Iberian Peninsula’s so-called “rectangular area”!

What makes Portugal a popular wedding destination?

In a nutshell, two words: budget and accessibility. The primary benefit is the low cost of Portuguese living, which makes it an affordable place.

Benefit number two is that Portugal is a readily accessible country, just a 3-hour economy plane ride from Great Britain and a 2-hour hop-on from most western European countries. Time difference is also minimal, as the country runs on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) like the UK, a mere one hour ahead of Continental Europe.
