Good reasons to marry in Portugal

I take sides: I love Portugal
and I believe marrying in Portugal is a good idea. Wait… no! It’s a great idea.
“Marrying in the land of the bride” is long gone. Nowadays, what’s important is
to choose a place you both like, which represents you and, obviously, which
fits your budget.
Then, let’s see why
marrying in Portugal is such a good idea.
1. Marrying in Portugal
for the different landscapes
Picturesque villages,
large urban centres, old churches, romantic palaces, the silence of the
countryside, endless vineyards and, of course, the chance to marry on the beach
in Portugal. As you see, there are many different places to get married in this
country.

2. Marrying in
Portugal for the food
You eat very well in
Portugal. The Portuguese gastronomy is now starting to gain recognition, with
several awards and increasingly more international honours. Surprise your
guests with a varied and very tasty wedding menu - and, by the way, if the food
is good, then what about the wine?
3. Marrying in Portugal
for the access
If you don't live in
Portugal, I imagine you also have many guests coming from abroad, right?
Portugal has three airports in the mainland (in Lisbon, Porto and in Faro -
which is located in the Algarve), in addition to the two airports in the
islands of Madeira and the Azores. This means, good transportation access.
Also, it's a small country. You'll see how easy it will be for your guests to travel
around the country, whether by car or by train, for example.
4. Marrying in Portugal
for the social openness
Same sex marriage in
Portugal is legal since 2010. If this is your case and gay marriage is not yet
a reality in your country, then you should know that you can marry in Portugal.
There’s nothing here to stop you - in fact, you will be very much welcome here.
5. Marrying in
Portugal for the Portuguese hospitality
It's a fact: the
Portuguese are always friendly and in recent times, everyone seems to have
surrendered to the Portuguese hospitality. If you choose to marry in Portugal,
we are certain that this memento will be forever in your memory, as well as in
that of your guests.
6. Marrying in
Portugal for the price
We all know that when
it comes to planning a wedding, budget is always an important factor. In many
ways, Portugal is still an inexpensive country, especially when compared to
other countries in Europe. If you are searching for a more affordable wedding -
or a less expensive one if you will - you can find several options in Portugal.
7. Marrying in
Portugal for the (good) organization
I fully understand
that if you don't live in a certain country, there is always some uncertainty
when it comes to organizing a wedding at a distance - "What if something
doesn't work?" or "What if it isn't like in the picture?"
For this reason, my
advice is: choose to have a Wedding Planner in Portugal to help you organize
your wedding.
