To marry in Portugal is to choose a country that holds many landscapes within a short distance.
The granite estates of the north, the terraced vineyards of the Douro, the light of Lisbon and Sintra, the coast of the Algarve, the Atlantic gardens of Madeira.
For couples travelling from abroad, this is the rare destination where beauty, hospitality and ease arrive together.
A destination wedding is not a single day. It is a journey that begins the moment guests cross a border, and continues through arrival, welcome, the nights between, and the farewell. We design the whole of it, so that nothing is left to chance and nothing feels like logistics.
From Braga, with a team also in Madeira, Made With Love accompanies couples worldwide who choose Portugal as the place where their story is told.
The destination is not a backdrop. It is part of the memory. And when it is chosen and composed with care, the celebration is not merely attended. It stays.
Planning a destination wedding from another country can feel daunting: a language to navigate, venues you cannot visit easily, vendors you have never met, and the distance between an idea and its execution.
Our role is to remove that distance. We become your presence on the ground, from the first video call to the final farewell, so that the experience feels close even when you are far.
We do not begin from a template. Each celebration finds its own language, and the destination is read as part of that language, never imposed upon it.
We handle what a couple abroad cannot: venue selection and visits, legal and ceremony requirements for marrying in Portugal, trusted vendors chosen for each wedding, guest logistics, accommodation and transport, welcome moments and the days around the celebration.
The involvement is close and personal, because coherence requires presence. Ana Cunha is part of every core decision. This is how the studio works. Not as a promise, but as a method.
Portugal offers many destinations within a single country. These are the regions where we design and direct weddings, each with its own character and light.
Our home region. Granite manor houses, historic estates and the romantic gardens of the Minho, where many of our weddings have taken shape, from Castelo do Bom Jesus to Solar das Bouças.
Terraced vineyards descending to the river, wine estates and long golden afternoons. A destination for couples drawn to landscape, wine and a sense of unhurried time.
The light of the capital, palaces and romantic estates in the hills of Sintra, and the Atlantic a short drive away. A setting of refinement and atmosphere.
Cliffs, coastline and a generous summer light. For couples who wish the sea to be part of the celebration, with the comfort of a destination well prepared to receive.
Atlantic gardens, mountains meeting the ocean, and a climate that welcomes all year. We hold a dedicated local team on the island, close to every detail.
Wherever a celebration takes place, we believe it should belong to its setting.
We work with the heritage of each place, with local artisans and producers, with the hands and the materials that hold the memory of a region.
And we choose our vendors as carefully as we choose our words. Case by case, never from a fixed list, only those whose work we trust and whose presence we have already tested in the field.
A local presence is not a detail. It is what allows a wedding to feel rooted, and a guest to feel received.
Over years of travel, partnership and study, we have extended the studio's work to celebrations beyond Portugal.
We have produced events in Paris, Dubai, Sicily and on Lake Como, and we have come to specialise in Italy as a second territory, alongside Portugal.
This was not improvised. It was built.
Through investment in training and knowledge, fluency in the language, technical visits to venues, the production of editorials, and a network of local collaborations and partnerships. So that wherever we work, we bring the same closeness, the same standard, and the same respect for the place.
Couples who travelled from across the world to marry in Portugal, each celebration shaped around their story and their culture.
If something is taking shape in your mind, we would love to hear it.
