Getting Married in Algarve

✈️ 7.5 hours (to Faro) from NYC🗓 Best: May–October🌍 Portugal

Algarve is a breathtaking destination-wedding location. The Algarve is Portugal's southern crown — 100 miles of dramatic golden limestone coastline, sea caves, and grottoes that attract visitors from across Europe for some of the continent's finest beaches, best golf, and most spectacular natural scenery.

Algarve clifftop and quinta weddings are booming. The region's dramatic coastal scenery is unlike anywhere else in Europe.

The Wedding Unicorn coordinates Algarve destination weddings end-to-end — venue sourcing and negotiation, vendor coordination (photographers, florists, caterers, musicians), legal marriage documentation, guest travel block negotiation, multi-day event itineraries (welcome dinner, rehearsal, ceremony, day-after brunch), and complete day-of management.

We know what Algarve requires for legal or symbolic ceremonies, and we have the vendor relationships to deliver quality that matches the extraordinary setting. The Algarve's golden limestone sea stacks and grottoes look like nature sculpted them specifically to be a backdrop for falling in love.
