Photographer, florist, caterer, band or planner? Add your business so couples planning here can find you.
Where to marry
From the clifftops of the west to the warm bays of the east, every town has its own backdrop.
Why couples marry in the Algarve
The season runs long here. From late spring through to October the days are warm and the evenings stay soft well past sunset, so a ceremony at golden hour can roll straight into a dinner under the stars. The settings sell themselves: clifftop terraces above the Atlantic on the west coast, sheltered golden bays around Lagos and Albufeira, and quiet whitewashed towns inland for couples who want something calmer. Add the light, the food and the wine, and it is easy to see why so many people choose to marry here.
Planning from a distance is the hard part, and that is what we are built for. The venue, the hotel rooms for your guests, the photographer, the florist, the caterer, the hair and beauty team and the music can all be found in one place, with honest reviews from people who have used them and a map that shows you exactly where everything is. Every listing is a real business you can save, follow and contact, so you can shape the whole day without piecing it together from a dozen scattered sites.
