• You may choose the date of your wedding day according to the season.
• You may choose the venue according to the landscapes.
• You may choose the country according to the legal requirements.
• You may choose a place just because you fell in love.

There is a small, friendly country by the sea, in southern Europe, where all this comes together: Portugal.

In Portugal, the preferred seasons for getting married are spring and summer, but there are also other dates in the considered low season that are beginning to be sought, with the advantage of helping to keep the budget on schedule.

How is the weather?

From winter to summer, the TEMPERATURE in Portugal is neither too cold nor too hot. This is not always true, and climate change makes it difficult to predict the weather.

Even so, The SKY is usually infinitely BLUE most of the year. Although on winter days the gray clouds and the snow white candure on top of the mountains makes their appearance.

What are the landscapes look like?

The LANDSCAPES are still untouchable and unique. Lush green grounds and of rare beauty during all seasons.

With about 92 thousand km2 and about 10 million inhabitants, Portugal has mountains with snow in winter, as it happens at Serra da Estrela and, occasionally, at Pico island in the Azores Archipelago.

Portugal has islands and islets, extensive plains in the Alentejo, vineyards, forests, unique historical and monumental heritage, rivers, beaches, natural water reservoirs and much more! It's so easy to choose the place to get married in Portugal!

What time of year do we suggest getting married in Portugal?
