Meredith & John

Meredith & John’s destination wedding in Sintra unfolded over four carefully planned days, bringing together guests from the US and Australia for a complete experience of Portugal. The celebrations began with a beach day at Costa da Caparica, followed by a city gathering at Portas do Sol in Lisbon, setting a relaxed and social tone for the days ahead.

The wedding day took place at Quinta da Bellavista in Sintra, where the ceremony was followed by a reception inside the venue’s distinctive greenhouse. Framed by glass walls, hanging greenery, and long banquet tables, the space offered a refined yet natural setting that felt both structured and inviting. The weekend concluded with a farewell brunch by the pool at the same venue, allowing guests to reconnect once more before departing—an elegant and well-paced ending to a multi-day destination celebration.
