SATURDAY, JULY 4, 2026

Surrounded by the people we love most, we can’t wait to celebrate our wedding day with you.

Welcome Party

Friday, 3rd July 2026

Location

Vale Sereno, Estrada da Faria 6265, Carvoeiro
(We’ll share the exact Google Maps link closer to the day via email or WhatsApp.)

Arrive anytime from 5:00 pm.
We’ll have drinks, music and light bites until 9:00 pm.

Dress Code

Casual, comfortable and summery.

Transport

Guests will need to arrange their own transport to and from the welcome drinks. There is no parking at the place or nearby, so taxis/Uber/Bolt are the best option.

Wedding Day

Saturday, 4th July 2026

Location

Morgado do Quintão, Lagoa

Schedule

5:00 pm – Guests arrive
5:30 pm – Ceremony among the olive trees
6:00 pm – Cocktails & canapés
8:00 pm – Dinner & speeches
10:00 pm – 2:30 am – Dancing & open bar

Dress Code

Elegant summer attire. Everything takes place outdoors, so comfortable shoes are a good idea. For men, light suits and smart summer shirts work well. For women, dresses or elegant summer evening wear.

Food & Drinks

Dinner will be buffet style, with plenty of options for everyone – including vegetarian, vegan and other dietary-friendly dishes. If you have specific requirements, please let us know when you RSVP.

We’ll have an open bar after the ceremony. It will take a short break during dinner and the speeches — during that time we’ll be serving Morgado do Quintão wines — and then it’ll open again for the rest of the night.

Transport

We kindly encourage guests to arrange their own transport to arrive and return after the celebration. Taxis, Ubers and Bolts operate easily in the area, and below are a few recommended local taxi companies:

  • Taxi Arade

  • Rocha T Taxis

  • Taxis Rádio de Albufeira

Please make sure to share the location link with your driver, as the venue is inside a vineyard and they will need the correct entrance to access Morgado do Quintão.

📍 Drop-off / Pick-up Point

Important:
Please let your driver know that the entrance is via the main vineyard gate.

If you’re travelling with friends or family, renting a villa or an apartment through Booking.com, Airbnb or similar sites can be a cost-effective and comfortable alternative to hotel rooms.
