Once you’ve decided on Portugal, you’ll need to choose the right kind of wedding ceremony.
Even though foreigners can have a civil wedding in a Portuguese registry office, there are some hurdles to overcome. You’ll need to fill in some paperwork and request an international wedding certificate. If you or your partner don’t speak Portuguese, an interpreter must also be present. Dealing with Portuguese bureaucracy can be challenging at the best of times, especially from abroad. And to be
honest a lot of the civil ceremonies aren’t very romantic or special.
That’s why most foreign couples decide to have their registry wedding in their home country and then head to Portugal for a symbolic wedding ceremony. All you need for that is a location, a date, and a wedding celebrant to make your special day perfect.
In terms of location, the Algarve has something for everyone’s taste and offers a convincing 300 days of sunshine per year. Whether you want to get married on the beach or prefer a classic southern European celebration at one of the many wineries or Quintas (traditional Portuguese farm). There is plenty of wedding locations and villas in the Algarve that will offer a perfect backdrop for your ceremony and reception.
