Hi All,

I'm getting married in Santa Eulalia in June next year and was wanting a non-religious blessing. Does anyone know of any celebrants?

I have booked the venue and band and organised most other stuff myself so didn't necessarily want to enlist the services of a wedding planner unless absolutely necessary.

Any advice would be greatly received!

thanks
Polly

I was advised on a band named Double Cocktail.
Have any of you heard of this band and know if they are any good? Thanks for ur help.

Hey Sharon b2b, the Algarve is gorgeous! Have you decide on a venue yet ? we are still struggling on that part. My mum has a friend in the Algarve who owns a hudge mansion and we're now thinking to get married there. As we stayed in vilamoura we saw Double Cocktail perform at a bar there. They are absolutely fabulous and got everybody up and dancing! I believe the bar is called Hole in one bar or something they also have some videos on the you tube and their site.
At the moment we are checking out our options on menus. Any of you know what would be a reasonable price for a 3 course meal in Portugal? We were quoted from around 80 - till 120 euros. Does it also change with the number of guests you have? thanks a mill in advance, bambi x

Stefanie & David (Dpuble Cocktail) recently performed at our wedding in Portugal (May 09) and were absolutely amazing, you wont find better in the Algarve!! They are great performers and entertainers and kept the crowd going the whole night. They really put so much hard work and effort into the day to ensure that you and your guests have the best day ever. They are friendly, professional and always have a smile on their face. We would highly recommend Double Cocktail for any special event - you wont be disappointed.

Paula and Karina from The Algarve Wedding Planners were a huge help also - we couldnt have done it without them. They too put so much care and hardwork into what they do to make sure you have a perfect day. We had our reception in a marquee in Monte Das Alagoas and I would strongly recommend this venue. The staff were amazing and were so polite and professional - nothing was too much trouble for them. The food, setting and special touches on the day were out of this world.

All in all you are in very safe hands with the Algarve Wedding Planners and Double Cocktail - They work with a fantastic teeam of people and will really make sure that you have the best day of your lives..Good Luck with all the planning.x

I am getting married In Albuferia. I have a wedding planner she is from Simplicity Events,
she has been great, Nothing is too small and she is always at hand to answer my sometimes silly questions, she has been hands on since the beginning, I viewed the venue and fell in love with it, it the Grande Real, the views are just stunning, Jacqui spent the whole day with us, as we had only visited for three days and two of those was getting there and back, we got everthing done, she set up meetings with everyone. I feel alot happier now that I have seen and met with everyone. So now it is just count down to our big day.

Photographers, flowers, music, etc. I feel alot happier now that I have seen and met with everyone, and helped me get the best possible deals with the suppliers to fit our budget. It was great seeing the venue and the weather was just great the day we visited it really put it in to prospective why people go away to get married.
