FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions we hear most often
Our office is in Lisbon, Portugal. We work across the country and are happy to travel, the same team and supplier network that operates in Lisbon works in the Douro, the Alentejo, the Algarve, and beyond.
Full wedding planning, event design, and on-the-day coordination, handled by a dedicated in-house team. Planning and design are two separate specialisms: we have planners who manage the process and a design team who builds the visual concept and executes it. We also work on anniversaries, birthday celebrations, personal events, and corporate event design.
Two things, mostly. First, we have a dedicated in-house planning team and a dedicated in-house design team, not one person doing both. Second, 14 years of experience means we’ve seen enough to stay calm when things don’t go to plan, solve problems before you know they exist, and give you an honest opinion even when it’s not what you want to hear. We’d rather tell you the truth than agree with something that will compromise your wedding.
Because planning a wedding, especially from abroad, is a full-time job. The supplier network alone takes years to build. Knowing which venues are available, which caterers work well under pressure, which florists can deliver what they promise: that knowledge is what we bring. You get a team that has seen everything, solves problems before you know they exist, and is fully present on the day.
More than most people expect. We manage the entire process from the moment you sign the contract to the last moment of your wedding day: venue search and visits, supplier curation, budget management, event design, décor production, timeline, logistics, and full on-the-day coordination. You make the decisions, we handle everything that goes into making them happen.
We think the better question is: what does it cost not to? The time, the stress, the risk of making expensive mistakes without local knowledge, these are real. Our couples consistently tell us that having a team they could trust completely changed how they experienced their wedding. They were present. That’s what we’re here for.
The best way to check is to reach out directly. We take between 8 and 10 weddings per year, so availability fills up, especially for peak season in Portugal.
Send us your date and we will confirm within 2 business days.
Yes. We have experience planning weddings across all faiths and cultural traditions: Catholic, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim, and non-religious ceremonies. Each one is planned with the same care and with suppliers who know what they’re doing.
Yes. Every couple we work with gets the same team, the same process, and the same commitment. Always.
Yes, we do. It’s a service we offer, particularly for couples who have already handled the planning and need an experienced team to take over and execute. These enquiries often come through venue referrals. If that’s what you’re looking for, get in touch and we’ll see if we’re the right fit.
Yes. The team that planned your wedding is the team on the ground on the day. An average of four people, two from planning and two from design, are present throughout. We don’t hand you over to someone who wasn’t part of the process.
As a rule, no. We have one wedding per day. In rare exceptions, for example, when we have a small event design alongside a day-of coordination for a separate couple, we may divide the team, but only when we’re confident both events are fully covered. It’s something we decide case by case, never as standard practice.
Smart and discreet. The planning team wears black and a blazer. The design team works in Como Branco branded t-shirts during setup and changes into black and a blazer before the event begins. Comfortable shoes are non-negotiable, a wedding day can easily cover 15 kilometres across grass, cobblestones, and everything in between.
