Hi, my name is caroline. I am also getting married in portugal next year in the algarve in praia da luz. My aunt has lived their for the past 16 years and I my self have being going there every year for the past 10. My parents have a place their and you could say its a second home at this stage.

Back to your problem,....getting married in portugal isnt that simple when you find out the legal stuff. If you want the full church wedding you have to be a resident in portugal for at least 30 days prior the wedding day. Also there is alot of paper work involved which has to be translated into portugese so you'l need to sort a lawyer out. But in my case I think I will get the legal stuff done at home in ireland probley in a resigtary office then just have the wedding blessing from the church in portugal. Its the simplest way.

I wouldn't stress about the reciption, they are very laid back when it comes to organising events. "driftawaytravel" in letterkenny organise aborad weddings and could organise everything for you from reciption church to even the cake.


If you have any other queries just email


hope i gave u some help!

we recently got married in the algarve (sept) and were lucky enough to have had paula and karina from algarve wedding planners on board to help out. They will save you money, save you stress and arrange every detail from hair/make up, flowers, cars, buses, cake, band, dj etc etc I really cannot recommend them highly enough, they are professional to deal with, always responding to mails/calls promptly and no question is too daft and we had a few! This mail prob seems too good to be true but if you have any doubts about its authenticity please feel free to mail me privately to discuss or if you have any questions/reservations about getting married abroad. We had the best day of our lives and would recommend the experience to any/everyone....

Hi,I know Double Cocktail very well and I can tell you that you won´t find any better.
They are great.
I saw them in more than 30 Weddings this year,because I am a Wedding Photographer
and I met them very often in the venues.They are very good.

Hello everyone!!

I recently had a Spanish wedding and it was the most wonderful experience. The wedding we had would have cost twice that amount back home!

My cousin got married in Albufeira, Algarve and after the great experience we had with the music she booked the same band, who also do weddings in the Algarve.

The Algarve was great and I would so recommend it!! I got married in Malaga so if anyone has any questions about that area....

About the band:The first problem you have when planning abroad is that you are in a total different country to where the wedding will be so you can’t go and see the performances before you book. But with the band we booked we got to see everything online.

The Tribute Band made such a big difference for us so I feel like they diserve a link from me: Best of luck guys and thank you!!!
The Tribute Band

The thing that impressed me the most was that we could see what we were getting and all from the comfort of our home. They dealt with everything and the musicians were just so good. Honestly, I don’t know how there can be such a good level somewhere like the Costa del Sol, which is really a resort and not a “city” as such.


Best wishes xxxxx

Hello,
Just engaged and looking to get married in the algarve.
I contacted Paula from algarve wedding planners and she has been fantastic so far. She sent me all kinds of photos from venues and churches.
I also have been in contact with double cocktail wedding band for our ceremony and party.
Can't wait to over this summer to meet them all and make some decisions.
What theme are you using for your wedding? I was thinking of "beach theme"with shells and white sand on the tables, anybody doing something like this? thanks x
