PLAN YOUR QUINTA DO LAGO WEDDING

Destination weddings require extra attention to detail. Here are the essentials:

1. Hire a Local Planner

A local planner knows the best vendors, speaks Portuguese, and understands logistics. Quinta do Lago has its own events team, or you can work with experienced Algarve wedding planners.

2. Guest Accommodation & Logistics

Arrange airport transfers, villa rentals, or hotel room blocks early. Provide your guests with itineraries, transport options, and a welcome dinner to start the celebration.

3. Weather & Timing

The Algarve is sunny most of the year. Spring and autumn offer ideal conditions — warm but not too hot. Always have a backup indoor or tented space in case of unexpected weather.

4. Vendors: Food, Flowers, Music

Quinta do Lago partners with exceptional caterers and florists. Customize menus with local seafood, Portuguese wines, and seasonal flowers. Choose a photographer who knows the resort’s lighting and landscapes.

5. Pre- and Post-Wedding Events

Plan a welcome cocktail, golf day, spa retreat, or beach brunch. Multi-day celebrations are increasingly popular and make the event feel like a full-blown experience.

6. Budget & Contracts

Ask for detailed quotes specifying what’s included — venue hire, décor, furniture, catering, staff, and taxes. Peak-season rates (May to September) are higher, so early booking helps.

Wedding Trends for 2025–2026

Experiential Weddings: Multi-day celebrations with activities and themed dinners.

Smaller, Luxury Gatherings: Fewer guests, higher attention to detail.

Sustainable Choices: Local wines, organic menus, and eco-friendly décor.

Statement Design: Draped fabrics, floral installations, and elegant lighting for outdoor spaces.

Guest-Centric Touches: Personalized gifts, custom itineraries, and relaxed “wedding weekend” vibes.

These trends align perfectly with Quinta do Lago’s luxury-meets-nature atmosphere.
