Getting Married in Lisbon
Lisbon is a breathtaking destination-wedding location. Lisbon is Europe's most seductive capital — a city of seven hills, ancient trams, soulful fado music, and one of the continent's most exciting food scenes, all at prices that make other Western European capitals blush. It is impossible not to fall in love here.
Lisbon palace and quinta (estate) weddings are extremely popular. Portugal's straightforward marriage requirements for non-residents make it very accessible.
The Wedding Unicorn coordinates Lisbon 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 Lisbon requires for legal or symbolic ceremonies, and we have the vendor relationships to deliver quality that matches the extraordinary setting. Lisbon at sunset from a miradouro, a glass of vinho verde in hand, fado drifting up from the Alfama — this is a city that makes you feel things.
