Make sure to hit the SAVE button to include this helpful post on your inspiration board and share it with your friends and loved ones who are considering a destination wedding around here!
No. 1
Palácio de Queluz, Portugal
This is my #1 choice. The top of the list because this venue is truly unique! I have never seen something so emblematic and with such a strong royal feeling. Of course this is not by accident, since this Palace was home to the Portuguese Royal Family for many years.
From its magnificent Rococo architecture to its imposing gardens, Queluz Palace is for sure the perfect place for a one of a kind destination wedding in Portugal. The palace only recently began allowing weddings to take place, so it’s a “brand new” venue in the country. And what a venue it is!
No. 2
Tivoli Palácio de Seteais
Seteais Palace is a luxury 5‑star hotel in Sintra and is one of my favorites. The hotel itself is a gem, with its neoclassical architecture, it makes for the perfect entrance to every breathtaking wedding ceremony.
Seteais Palace is surrounded by beautiful vegetation and other historic palaces, from its grounds we can see the majestic Pena Palace. You can’t go wrong, choosing this venue as your wedding location!
No. 3
Palácio dos Marqueses da Fronteira
One of the most unique palaces in the country. I love its colors and the richness in detail, especially with its vast decoration of Portuguese tiles. The palace is located in the heart of Lisbon and is easy to fall in love with.
The palace was built in 1671 and is the perfect venue for the traditional wedding with a touch of boldness.
No. 4
Pestana Palace
Pestana Palace is a 5‑star hotel in the charming city of Lisbon. The Palace was built in the XIX century, has beautifully majestic gardens and stunning rooms adorned by the most beautiful European wall papers.
The perfect place for a smaller celebration but still full of beauty and personality!
No. 5
Verride Palácio Santa Catarina
This one is my favorite for bride and groom’s getting ready. The palace has the most beautiful bridal room that I have ever seen and the photos turn out so dreamy! The palace is also perfect to be your “home” for the wedding party or family during the time of your stay in Portugal.
The location couldn’t be better, being located in the heart of Chiado, the most touristy point in Lisbon.
