Destination Weddings in Portugal - Estr. de Manique 2533

We found at Senhora da Guia in Cascais the perfect venue for our special day – a cozy and beautiful site by the sea, in a town and landscape with meaning for us. The hotel, the restaurant and the food was amazing, the facilities had everything that was needed and the staff was always friendly and handled all the details to ensure a perfect day. The organization conducted by Rita and Destination Weddings included a plan several weeks upfront for everything by the minute and things happened quite smoothly through the day, allowing us to relax and enjoy all the moments. The wedding happened in April, with a mix of sunshine and rain, which resulted in tremendous light for photography and the ceremony could still be held in the garden, with the ocean in the background, as we hoped for. We couldn’t have picked a better place to celebrate our wedding, so we definitely recommend it 100%!

Most professional and trustworthy service! We used Destination Weddings in Portugal to arrange our wedding in Cascais in September 2019. The organisation of our wedding exceeded our expectations. Rita recommended a number of amazing venues and we finally settled on Forte da Cruz in Estoril. The venue was beautiful and attention was paid to every detail. Rita and her team kept in close communication over the year and were helpful, prompt and really organised. We had photographers, videographers, large band flying in from the UK and everything went like clockwork! Rita was also invaluable in helping us navigate the bureaucracy and paperwork involved in our legal marriage process. We 100% recommend Rita and her team for your wedding in Cascais and other parts of Portugal!

Destination Weddings Portugal, I do not even know where to begin, they created the most memorable and pleasurable experience. Polina, Rita and their team went above and beyond our expectations in creating the most amazing experience. Their team was always one step ahead of us and appeared to have thought out even detail anticipating every single nuance of the event. Their local knowledge coupled with their impeccable sense and talent for hospitality was apparent from our first encounter and remained consistent throughout the entire (year long) planning experience. On the day of the wedding, their positive attitude and the fact that they had anticipated every single detail made our experience nothing short of stress free and memorable. 10/10 would recommend Destination Weddings Portugal to anyone considering an event in Portugal.

My fairytale wedding, that’s how I tell everyone about my Big day! A simple ‘thank you’ can’t begin to express our gratitude for everything you and your staff did to make our day truly perfect! I think we are the luckiest couple to fall into the hands of Rita and the Destination Weddings in Portugal team! For us was very important to plan everything online, because we currently live in Dubai and didn’t have time to come to Portugal before wedding. Communication with Rita was very easy, she always replied straight away and was available at all time, imagine the time difference and etc. There were no worries at all during key moments, Rita brought all my phantasy into reality, even magically found the way to work out all the disagreements between me and my husband when it comes to choose the cake for example. =) Rita helped us to choose the right location for our venue depends on number of guests, the style of the venue and our other preferences, and it was incredible, my first time to be there was at my wedding and I felt myself as a real princess going to get married in the beautiful villa by the ocean! The decorations, flowers, illumination and the most important – dinner, deserve a special praise! My bride bouquet was very special… I just shared with Rita my favorite flowers and colors, but I could’t imagine that she will go beyond and make it so significant. Every type of flower had a very deep meaning for me through out my life. The dinner was a truly a incredible experience! Not only because a mouthwatering food but also because of the level of service. Such a small details like me and my husband was served simultaneously made a big impression! Destination Weddings in Portugal not only fulfilled my expectations, went beyond that but even managed to surprise us with an unexpected fireworks during cake cutting! I can’t find the right words to describe our feelings at that moment! Lastly I just have to mention our singer and the DJ, those guys broke my heart! I think I will remember my whole life this voice and the music for our first dance! As well as all our guests, everyone admitted that it was the most sincere, heartwarming and unforgettable moment in our lives!

Our experience with Destination Wedding was absolutely wonderful. It wasn’t easy planning a wedding from across the world in Seattle, WA USA, and due to COVID, everything was ever changing and we switched our date 3 times. That being said, Riita made things as easy as possible! She was absolutely fantastic with communication and on top of every detail. From planning locations for our rehearsal dinner, finding us vendors, to the little details to make our special day perfect, everything she did was amazing! Villa Guia was the perfect location for our guests, everything from the setting to the food was 10/10 and our friends and family had a great time. Venue is close to beautiful Cascais and only a short drive away from Lisbon. Would highly recommend the restaurant across the street from the venue as well! Thank you Rita and Destination Weddings for the wonderful day! -Katie and Chris

After 18months since our wedding was first postponed, we finally got married at senhora da Guia boutique hotel last week, a beautiful venue with picturesque views onto the ocean. Rita and the team at destination weddings in Portugal were amazing from start to finish, they gained our trust very early on and kept us at ease during these questionable times. They rescheduled our date 3 times without any problems, which made the whole postponing ‘again and again’ much more easier for ourselves to deal with. When we finally made it to Cascais, we could not have dreamt of a more perfect day, the flowers and decor were exactly as I visioned. I felt calm and relaxed knowing I could trust Rita and Ana to pull off an amazing day for us, and that they did. Thank you Rita and team for our perfect day!

Destination Weddings in Portugal is our exclusive wedding planner team, we love their work so much and our partnership works so well, that we could not imagine managing these special events without them! They are very attentive to all details and fully dedicated to each couple, it is very pleasant and easy to work with them! We cannot wait for 2022 to have more weddings with Rita and her team and see all the happy couples saying their I Dos by the sea!
