As life gradually returns to normal after the plague years (!), we have seen an unprecedented demand for weddings in the Douro Valley. When we first started Douro Weddings five years ago, we had no idea just how many couples from around the world would choose this stunning region as their dream wedding destination. Unlike other well-established wedding hotspots, the Douro was still relatively undiscovered, with a limited number of venues available. However, it quickly became clear that there is a dedicated community of Douro lovers – people who visited on holiday and fell in love with its charm, deciding it was the perfect place for them to tie the knot.
With all the interest in Douro weddings, we’ve encountered a challenge we are increasingly having to deal with. It turns out that there are only a handful of high-quality wedding venues in the Douro Valley – and they book up really quickly! Additionally, some of the most sought-after venues may not align with every budget. As a result, we’ve expanded our search beyond the Douro Valley to include equally breathtaking venues in Porto and other picturesque areas of northern Portugal.
Expanding our venue portfolio isn’t just about adding more locations – it’s about maintaining the high standards our clients expect. We carefully evaluate each potential venue, ensuring it offers not only stunning views and top-tier facilities but also something far more important: a passionate and dedicated team behind it.
For us, a venue isn’t just a beautiful setting. It should feel like an extension of its owners’ hospitality, where every wedding is treated with care and attention to detail. We seek venue owners who share our commitment to creating unforgettable experiences, where hosting weddings is a labour of love, not just a business opportunity.
By broadening our selection of wedding venues to include Porto and beyond, we can offer more availability and affordability, without compromising on quality. Whether you’re dreaming of a vineyard wedding in the Douro, an elegant affair in a historic Porto venue, or a countryside celebration in northern Portugal, we’ll work with you to find the perfect wedding location that meets your vision and budget.
Over the next few months, we’ll be unveiling a carefully curated selection of new wedding venues that meet our standards. We’re excited to offer our clients even more choices, each with the same dedication to excellence that defines Douro Weddings.
