Quinta dos Vales

Wedding Day

Beach Party Send-Off

Our Wedding

We first met back in 2015, when life brought us together from two very different places, Angelica from New Jersey and Ben from Liverpool. Then, the timing wasn’t quite right, and we each took time apart to grow, learn, and follow our own paths. Fast forward to 2022, life gave us a second chance and this time, it was clear that our story was meant to be written together. From that moment, we knew we had found something lasting. In 2024, Ben proposed in Portugal, a place that quickly became special to us. That’s why we couldn’t imagine a better place to return to and celebrate our wedding with the people we love most! Family and fun are at the heart of everything we do, and we are beyond excited to share this day and all the joy that comes with it, with you.

Our wedding venue is Quinta dos Vales Estômbar, Faro, 8400-031, Portugal. For our guests traveling from the U.S., we recommend booking the direct United Airlines flight from Newark (EWR) to Faro (FAO) for the most convenient option. When it comes to accommodations, Airbnbs are safe, welcoming, and highly recommended for both comfort and value. If you prefer hotel stays, there are also several charming boutique hotels nearby that offer a more curated experience.
