Whether it’s in a palace, a castle, in the middle of the countryside or with sand between your toes, all scenarios are possible. Pestana hotels and pousadas are places for bespoke weddings that are tailored to bride and groom, with professional teams ensuring that nothing is less than perfect.
The ideal place to get married is the place that suits each couple and each wedding. And they’re all different. Be it by the sea or in a palace, there are plenty of memorable wedding locations among Pestana’s pousadas and hotels.
From welcoming guests to the wedding night itself, this unique day can be planned in a personalised way together with the Pestana group’s professionals. The ceremony is given the utmost attention to detail: any of the hotels or pousadas can cater for the bride and groom’s cultural or religious requirements – during the vows, the reception or music.
The meal is also chosen to reflect each couple’s taste. Whether it’s traditional Portuguese food, international dishes, full vegetarian or even more surprising contemporary cuisine, the wedding reception menus are designed with great attention to detail.
