Our advice is simple: trust our recommendations. Over the years, we’ve built strong relationships with a select group of trusted vendors who consistently deliver outstanding results. We know their work inside out and we can confidently guarantee their professionalism. They’ll turn up on time, deliver exactly what they promise and won’t rip you off. In short: they won’t mess up.

While we’re happy to provide alternative options if needed, choosing an unvetted vendor, especially in a destination setting, comes with risks. Without our stamp of approval, there’s no guarantee they’ll meet your expectations.

The risks of choosing vendors on your own

We completely understand that many couples have a clear vision of their dream wedding. It’s tempting to scroll through Instagram, browse Pinterest or research online to find a florist with stunning arrangements or a videographer with a creative flair. But remember – looks can be deceiving. A beautiful website or an impressive social media profile doesn’t always translate into reliable service.

In Portugal, reliability issues can sometimes arise: vendors might arrive late, not follow your instructions, cut corners or go way over budget. Even the most talented suppliers, as it might be suggested by their Instagram posts, can fall short if they don’t align with your expectations or have the experience of working with international clients.
