Intimate wedding

Up to around 50 guests: the ceremony, the dinner and the people who matter, without the big machine.

An intimate wedding keeps everything that matters — the ceremony, the speeches, the long dinner — with only the people you would call at three in the morning.

In Portugal that often means a quinta or a herdade for the day, a table under the trees, and time to actually talk to everyone. The photographs feel closer, because everyone in them knows each other.

Good to know

Half a day or the whole day
Many couples book from the ceremony through the dinner; others want the getting ready too. Compare packages by hours, not by name.
Everyone ends up in the photos
With fewer guests, a good photographer makes sure no one is missing — ask how they handle family portraits without a long list.
Places that fit a smaller party
Look for places that take small weddings without a minimum number of guests — country houses, wineries, restaurants with a private room.
