Destination Wedding was amazing!
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 events, everything was ever changing, but Rita 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, 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 great and our friends and family had a great time.

Wonderful summer destination wedding in Cascais
We had the most beautiful, happy day at the Senhora da Guia hotel in Cascais, Portugal. We originally intended to get married in May 2020 but obviously Covid put paid to that. Our wedding planner Rita was incredibly helpful, kind and flexible and didn't turn a hair even when the date had to keep shifting. We eventually got married on 1 September 2021 and the day was beautiful and incredibly well organised. I'm definitely not a planner so it was great to delegate most tasks to Rita who hit it out of the park every time. In addition she helped organise all the other parts, when my makeup artist pulled out with little notice she organised a replacement who did a wonderful job with about two weeks' notice.
It was a beautiful, happy and fun day and every part of it was incredibly smooth. It was definitely worth the wait and I couldn't recommend Rita and Destination Weddings in Portugal highly enough.We had the most beautiful, happy day at the Senhora da Guia hotel in Cascais, Portugal.

Wedding 2021
We are so grateful that Rita and her Team from Destination Weddings were so helpful during the pandemic. We were giving a voucher even though we were unable to hold our Wedding at their venue.
Highly recommend this team if you are looking to hold a destination wedding.
They were always really friendly and made sure that everything is set up correctly.We are so grateful that Rita and her Team from Destination Weddings were so helpful during the pandemic. We were giving a voucher even though we were unable to hold our Wedding at their venue.

La meilleure décision pour notre mariage
Nous avons choisi de confier l'organisation de notre mariage à Destination Wedding in Portugal après avoir rencontré Rita à Cascais et ce fut la meilleure décision que nous ayons prise. Tout a été merveilleusement organisé. Je recommanderai maintenant toujours à mes proches d'avoir recours à une wedding planneuse, quel confort pour les mariés ! Rita a littéralement sauvé notre mariage cet été 2021 en nous trouvant, huit jours avant le mariage (heureusement qu'on se mariait en semaine), un autre lieu que celui initialement choisi, où ne nous pouvions plus l'organiser à cause d'un renforcement des règles sanitaires liées au Covid pour les événements en intérieur. Le nouveau lieu était magique. Rita a en outre un carnet d'adresses de formidables prestataires : mention spéciale pour Lily et Sergio de Lisbon Wedding photographers qui nous ont fait des photos et une vidéo sublimes ainsi que pour la fleuriste qui a fait une magnifique décoration florale suivant nos orientations. Rita a géré les imprévus de dernière minute avec efficacité et calme, elle nous a par exemple trouvé des chauffages extérieurs et des plaids au dernier moment, car la météo était plus fraiche que prévue. Mille mercis à Rita, nous avons eu le mariage de nos rêves grâce à elle et tous nos invités ont été enchantés.Nous avons choisi de confier l'organisation de notre mariage à Destination Wedding in Portugal après avoir rencontré Rita à Cascais et ce fut la meilleure décision que nous ayons prise.

Could not have done it without them!!
We would recommend Rita and her Destination Weddings in Portugal team over and over again for your wedding planning!
Rita is so thoughtful, detail oriented, calm, professional, flexible, everything you would want in a planner for your big day!
We had to reschedule our wedding few times and Rita made the whole experience as stress free as possible.
We were blown away at the gorgeous details in every aspect from the flowers, to the place settings, to the ambiance and cohesive look.
Our wedding day was so special and I want to thank Destination Weddings in Portugal and their whole team for a day we will never forget!We would recommend Rita and her Destination Weddings in Portugal team over and over again for your wedding planning!

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!We used Destination Weddings in Portugal to arrange our wedding in Cascais in September 2019.

Dear Inês, It was such fun planning your wedding in Forte da Cruz. You had such an unique vision of your wedding and decoration, we couldn't be happier to made it all come together for you and Carlos! Please came back to Portugal to see us soon, we would love to welcome you once again! 🤗 -

O melhor dia das nossas vidas
Em outubro de 2019 celebrámos o nosso casamento no Penha Longa Resort com Destination Weddings in Portugal, e devo confessar que toda a equipa foi incansável, com uma dedicação e organização que nos deixou muito contentes. A Wedding Planer , Marine, foi sempre muito atenciosa e sempre disponível para nos ajudar, e atenta a todos os detalhes de forma muito dedicada e profissional.
A localização, e toda a decoração do casamento estava lindíssima, com pormenores de muito bom gosto.
Obrigado à Destination Weddings in Portugal por tornarem o nosso sonho uma realidade. Sem duvida o melhor dia das nossas vidas.

THE Destination Wedding!
My husband and I had planned our wedding for April 2020 but due to Covid had to postpone and then eventually cancel :( A year earlier we had traveled to Portugal, meet with Rita and saw the venue. We were just amazed at how gorgeous the hotel is and we were really looking forward to having an amazing wedding at this great location. The tasting menu was also out of this world. We were so looking forward to the big day but due to Covid had to postpone. Rita and her team worked with us to change the wedding date over 6 times. Every step of the way Rita was there to assist and ease our concerns. In the end, unfortunately we decided to cancel as we had waited for over a yr and a half and covid was still around. The venue refunded our second big deposit and also gave us vouchers valid for 30% of our first deposit for future stay. They could very well have declined and there would be nothing we could do. All I can say is if you are planning on having a destination wedding definitely consider this venue, you will be amazed. It is right by the beach in an amazing town called Cascais. The food, venue, rooms are all excellent.

Extraordinary
If there's only one vendor to entrust with your wedding day, make it Destination weddings in Portugal without a doubt!
Rita and destination weddings team worked tirelessly to make our destination wedding in Portugal truly perfect. We are from Amsterdam and had only 12 weeks (!!!) to plan this international wedding.
I had been in Portugal before but never viewed our venue and I would not have changed a thing, the venue was stunning, much higher than my expectations, the food was out of this world, all the staff were fantastic!
Rita and her team were incredible on the wedding day and orchestrated the schedule seamlessly, while remaining discreet & respectful.
And our florist- I cannot sing her praises enough!! Excellent taste in decoration, Flowers were really amazing and made our setting even more special!
All this would not have been remotely possible without all the help of Destination Weddings throughout the process and final days.
From the bottom of our heart -thank you!! OBRIGADA !!

Our favourite day
Our guests keep talking about our wedding even now, 6 months after the event. "Best wedding we've been to" and we can’t agree more!
We live in Slovenia and got married in Portugal. Destination Weddings in Portugal are the best! This is not an exaggeration.
Destination weddings do not leave anything to chance
Their team identify problems and offer great solutions
They offer an amazing service coupled with attention to every detail
They have great choice of partners (band, florist, photographer etc)
We were amazed how they grasp the very essence of the idea for the celebration that we wanted to have on the day and delivered it so perfectly!
Thank you for the incredible experience!

Created the most beautiful day in our lives
We chose Rita and her team as our wedding planners for our wedding party in Cascais. From the very first meeting all the way through to after the wedding, she was an absolute joy and I'm so glad we chose her. The communication leading up to the wedding was excellent, highly responsive, nothing was too much and everything was planned to the smallest detail. Flexibility with the menu, accommodating many guest request and really advising on the best possible deals for us to ensure we don't waste money given the high expense of the wedding.
On the day itself - what can I say - as the bride, I had nothing to think or worry about other than enjoy every second of my wedding day. Our guests were incredibly impressed by the organisation given we had to move 85 guests (incl. elderly guests and children) between two venues, the service during the canapés and the meal and the quality of food and drinks. I do want to mention the food in a little more detail - it was the most delicious wedding meal I have ever tasted - many guests kept calling me even two weeks after the wedding to tell me how amazing the food was. It was literally incredible.
We couldn't have asked for any more and are so lucky and appreciative to have had Rita and her team plan this special day for us. I would recommend them with no hesitation.We chose Rita and her team as our wedding planners for our wedding party in Cascais.

Dear Maral, thank you for your kind words. We are the lucky ones for having such sweet bride like you. It was a blast to plan your wedding ceremony in Monserrate Palace and the reception in Senhora da Guia's Fountain garden, all your guests seemed to have loved it! It was truly a pleasure to organise your wedding and to be part of such a beautiful day, we are are very happy to know that you were able to enjoy your day without any stress at all and that we have exceeded your expectations. I could not end this thank you note without saying you looked amazing! You couldn't have chosen a more perfect dress for Monserrate Palace, your wedding pictures seem out of a story book! Once again, thank you for recommending the DWP team.🥰 -

Mon mariage de Rêve
Nous nous sommes marié à l’hôtel Senhora Da Guia à Cascais au Portugal. Ce jour là n’aurais pas été aussi merveilleux, splendide et magique sans Rita Fidalgo !!!! Et bien évidement toutes sont équipe de Destination Weddings In Portugal ♥️
Grace à eux l’un des plus beaux jours de ma vie c’est réalisé.
Rita m’a conseillée, a réussi à être à la hauteur de mes exigences.
Ne parlant pas le portugais elle m’a été d’une aide précieuse, et tout était plus facile.
Mes invités ont été époustoufler par ce mariage.
Pour moi le plus important était que tout se passe correctement mais surtout que mes invités s’amusent !! Et ça n’a pas manqué.
Alors j’aimerai encore remercier Rita et son équipe, m’a superbe photographe aussi Lily de lisbonweddingphotographer et le merveilleux Hugo Sousa pour cet incroyable film de mariage.

Walters Wedding - 19th June
Rita and her team were so easy to work with, super professional and made our dream wedding come to life. With having a wedding abroad I was a little skeptical on how everything would work but Rita made all worries go away instantly. They are such a lovely team, I honestly couldn’t recommended them enough. They made the entire process stress free and enjoyable.Rita and her team were so easy to work with, super professional and made our dream wedding come to life.

You were a very cool and lively group, everyone looked like they were having the time of their life!
Richie's groomsmen made the wedding ceremony the most interactive and fun i ever performed, i will always remember this special moment! 😄
Your taste and decoration ideas were excellent, our team had a lot of fun putting everything together! We are very happy to know that we met your every expectation. Thank you once again! -

Our perfect spot
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%.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.

Dear Tiago and Maria João, thank you so much for your kind words! It was a truly special day, blessed by a bit of rain during the ceremony, but also with a lot of sunshine! As per our Portuguese saying, when it drizzles during the ceremony, it's a sign that the heavens are blessing the union! We wish you, and your beautiful family, a lifetime filled with blessings and we hope to see you in Senhora da Guia soon, for your belated first anniversary dinner! 💛 -

Perfection in Every Way
It really does not get better than Destination Weddings in Portugal. Rita and her team are amazingly talented, detail oriented, empathetic, and do absolutely anything they can to make your dreams come true. Trying to coordinate a wedding from the other side of the world (Washington DC) is hard, some might call it a gamble. But I say this honestly, they put together a wedding that we would not have been able to dream up! It was something straight out of a fairytale. From the start, they are incredibly engaging and really put the time and effort into getting to know you. They consulted us on every decision, but gave us the best of the best to choose from. We chose to trust them with direction and choices, and we have no regrets. All of their recommendations were of the highest quality and taste. They were able to take the smallest expression of likes/wants and give them life. Their attention to detail is unmatched. Everything from the catering (fantastic food and even better service), to the music (we adore Tiago), to the flowers (oh my goodness the flowers!), to the line up of events, to the photographer (Lily is an artist), to hair and makeup (can't say enough about Jordan and Dorota) and more, was perfection. If you are considering having your wedding in Portugal, there is no one better to trust than this team. I don't think you'll be able to match this level of professionalism, dedication and organization. From their beautiful work, it is very apparent that they love what they do and really put their heart into creating magical moments for their customers. We are so thankful to them for memories neither us nor our guests will forget.It really does not get better than Destination Weddings in Portugal.

Trying to coordinate a wedding from the other side of the world (Washington DC) is hard, some might call it a gamble. But I say this honestly, they put together a wedding that we would not have been able to dream up! It was something straight out of a fairytale. From the start, they are incredibly engaging and really put the time and effort into getting to know you. They consulted us on every decision, but gave us the best of the best to choose from. We chose to trust them with direction and choices, and we have no regrets. All of their recommendations were of the highest quality and taste. They were able to take the smallest expression of likes/wants and give them life. Their attention to detail is unmatched. Everything from the catering (fantastic food and even better service), to the music (we adore Tiago), to the flowers (oh my goodness the flowers!), to the line up of events, to the photographer (Lily is an artist), to hair and makeup (can't say enough about Jordan and Dorota) and more, was perfection. If you are considering having your wedding in Portugal, there is no one better to trust than this team. I don't think you'll be able to match this level of professionalism, dedication and organization. From their beautiful work, it is very apparent that they love what they do and really put their heart into creating magical moments for their customers. We are so thankful to them for memories neither us nor our guests will forget.-

My dear Isabel, to know that you and Laércio were able to enjoy the entire day, without feeling even an once of stress, brings a lot of joy to our hearts. You had an amazing wedding celebration in a picture perfect church next to a lighthouse, overlooking the ocean, the setting couldn't have been more perfect for your catholic wedding! The cocktail by the pool was just as cool, relaxed and elegant as you envisioned, we were very happy to have been able to make it all come together for you! 💕 -

Magical venue, catered to our every need!
We would like to say a big thank you to Rita and everybody at Destination Weddings. They made our dream day a reality. Rita really understood our vision. It felt completely natural to put 100% trust in her and she made all our wishes come true. Communicating with Rita from another country was never a problem, she was always available to answer any questions, big or small. Having last minute worries and not being in the country wasn’t a problem with Rita on hand.
All the suppliers were fantastic! Simplistic was our vision with the flowers and they couldn’t have been more beautiful. With little stress, they did everything perfectly. Tiago was a fantastic DJ, on hand for the whole day. With just a brief playlist to help guide his choices, he played fantastic music to suit all, from the afternoon into the early hours of the morning!
The food….unbelievable! Probably one of the most lasting memories for our guests. The food was an important factor for my husband and I, his mother is a chef after all! We were certainly not let down by the standard of the cuisine at Senhora da Guia.
Rita and the whole team made our day go smoothly. They were on hand from the morning, I didn’t need to think about anything! I don’t know how Rita does It, she is superwoman! I cannot say enough about her, she made me feel so valued and listened to every detail. I am very thankful to have had her plan our special day. We were able to truly relax and enjoy every moment.
Guests repeatedly tell us our wedding was the most relaxed, authentic wedding they have ever been to. Our only sadness is we can’t relive the day again!We would like to say a big thank you to Rita and everybody at Destination Weddings. They made our dream day a reality.

Dear Emily and Alex,
We really do love our job, and the happiness that comes with it, it is indeed a labour of love! To read your sweet review, really made my day! It’s so important to us to know your wedding day was exactly what you envisioned, that makes us genuinely happy!
We loved planning your wedding (and our fun meetings with Natércia and Dina as well), from the flowers to the decoration, to the food, it had great fun!
It was a such beautiful warm, sunny day and you looked absolutely stunning- I had a chance to see a few of your wedding photos, and they look amazing!
Thank you once again for your trust, we would love to see you again soon 💕

Best Day of my life
Everything was perfect! I didn't had to worry about a thing on my Wedding Day! Rita is always on top of everything, she is like a superwoman! I had a beach ceremony in Guincho beach and the reception was in Senhora Da Guia Boutique Hotel, every little detail was extraordinary!

I don't know where to begin!
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.Destination Weddings Portugal, I do not even know where to begin, they created the most memorable and pleasurable experience.

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!My fairytale wedding, that’s how I tell everyone about my Big day!

We cannot recommend Rita and her team enough! We were given an extended menu of options for our wedding and both Rita and our venue were very flexible in accommodating all our needs and those of our guests. Rita also recommended a number of other professionals for the wedding, incl. photographer, hair and make up artists and a DJ.
The whole day was perfectly organised and went smoothly. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you for a wonderful experience!We cannot recommend Rita and her team enough!
