Cost of eloping in Portugal
Eloping in Portugal is more affordable than many couples expect, especially compared with traditional weddings. Costs vary based on your choices, but we'll help you design a unique celebration that fits comfortably within your budget.
Venue & ceremony location
Venue fees range from free public spots to paid-for private estates. Your choice impacts the overall budget, and we'll give options across the spectrum.
Vendors & services
Each vendor has their own pricing. Bundling services through our packages often saves money compared with booking individually.
Season & day of the week
Peak season and weekends typically cost more. Shoulder seasons and weekday elopements can offer better availability and lower prices without sacrificing beauty or experience.
Number of guests (if any)
More guests mean extra costs. Even small increases in headcount can affect prices significantly. We'll help you plan accordingly to keep the overall cost budget-friendly.
Patrícia was caring and attentive throughout the whole process.

Just the two of you, or with a few of your loved ones
Elopements come in all sizes. Whether you want total privacy or a handful of your closest people there, we'll design the experience around your vision and ensure every detail feels perfectly scaled.
Just the two of you
Experience total intimacy with only you and your partner. Deeply personal, focused entirely on your commitment, and free from any distractions.
Two of you + 2 guests
Bring your parents, best friends, or siblings as witnesses. This small number feels incredibly private while giving you the joy of sharing the moment with the people who matter most.
Up to ~12-16 people
Invite your nearest and dearest for a micro wedding vibe. Small enough to feel intimate and manageable, large enough to include key family and friends who want to celebrate with you.
Travel & accommodation
Getting to Portugal is easy, and staying there is even easier. We'll point you toward the best options for flights, local transport, and places to stay – whether at your venue or nearby – so logistics never feel complicated.
Get in
Portugal is highly accessible with direct flights from major cities across Europe, North America, and beyond. Lisbon and Porto airports connect you to the entire country, and we'll guide you on timing and logistics.
Get around
Renting a car gives you freedom to explore, but Portugal also offers reliable trains, rideshares, and private transfers. We'll suggest the best transport option based on your venue location and itinerary.
On-site accommodation
Many of our elopement venues offer guest rooms or suites. Staying on-site means you wake up where you'll marry, with no travel stress and maximum time to relax and prepare.
Off-site accommodation
Prefer more options or want to explore nearby towns? We'll recommend charming hotels, guesthouses, and rentals within easy reach of your ceremony location, vetted for quality and convenience.

Best time to elope in Portugal
Portugal enjoys mild weather year-round, but each season brings its own advantages. Your ideal timing depends on your priorities: weather, budget, crowd levels, and what kind of atmosphere you want for your elopement day.
Spring
March through May delivers mild temperatures, blooming flowers, and lush green landscapes. Spring offers beautiful light for photos, comfortable weather for outdoor ceremonies, and lower pricing.
Summer
June through August brings warm sunshine, long days, and vibrant coastal energy. Summer is ideal for beach elopements, though venues book up quickly and prices rise. Expect crowds at popular spots.
Fall
September through November offers arguably the best combination: warm but not hot weather, golden light, fewer tourists, and reasonable pricing. Grape harvest season adds extra charm to vineyard elopements.
Winter
December through February is Portugal's quietest season, with mild temperatures, dramatic coastal light, and the lowest prices. Winter elopements feel cozy and intimate, though rain is more likely.
Decide on your Portuguese elopement ceremony
Your ceremony type affects legal recognition, planning timeline, and vendor requirements. Our wedding planner in Portugal will help you understand your options and choose one that aligns with your beliefs, budget, and vision.
Symbolic
A symbolic ceremony holds no legal weight but offers complete creative freedom. Personalize every word, ritual, and moment without paperwork constraints. Many couples legalize at home and celebrate symbolically in Portugal.
Civil
Legally binding civil ceremonies are performed by a Portuguese registrar. They require advance paperwork, document translations, and specific timelines, but allow you to legally marry in Portugal if that's important to you.
Religious
Catholic, Protestant, or other religious ceremonies can be arranged through local churches or clergy. These require denominational approval, additional documentation, and coordination with religious authorities, which we can help facilitate.
Activities before & after your elopement
Your elopement is just one day of your Portuguese adventure. If you want to extend your stay and explore the country's incredible food, wine, culture, and landscapes, we'll suggest experiences to make your trip even more memorable.
Wine tasting
Visit renowned wineries in the Douro Valley, Alentejo, or Vinho Verde. Enjoy private tastings, vineyard tours, and world-class Portuguese wines paired with local cheeses and charcuterie.
Boat tour
Explore Portugal's coastline or rivers by boat. Take a sunset cruise along the Tagus, discover hidden grottos in the Algarve, or sail the Douro River with vineyard views.
Gastronomic tour
Immerse yourself in Portuguese cuisine through guided food tours. Sample pastéis de nata, fresh seafood, traditional petiscos, and regional specialties, while learning about local culinary traditions.
Picnic by the beach
Pack Portuguese delicacies and spend an afternoon on the sand. Our planner can give you tips on arranging gourmet picnic baskets for an authentically Portuguese, highly romantic post-elopement celebration.
