Where is the ceremony and reception? Are they wheelchair accessible?

The wedding ceremony and reception will both be held at Forte da Cruz. Address: R. Olivença 13, 2765-262 Estoril, Portugal. The castle is not wheelchair accessible, unfortunately. There are a couple of flights of steps to go up and down to get in/out of the main area. Contact Emily and James if you have any questions!

What is the easiest way to get to and from your wedding venue?

The suggested hotels are all <1/2 mile (or 0.8 km, as the Portuguese say) from the venue, making it easily walkable. There are also plenty of Ubers around Estoril during the day and night.

Is there parking available near your wedding venue?

There will be very limited parking spots available at the venue for those who'd like to drive. (Let us know if this is you.)

Will your wedding be indoors or outdoors?

A mix of both! Make sure to bring your sunglasses. There is AC inside of the castle where the reception will be held. :)

What is the weather like in the area?

The average weather in Estoril in mid June is sunny, about 70-80 degrees during the day, and about 60 degrees at night. Layers are your friend!

Will there be meal options for guests with dietary restrictions or allergies?

Yes! Please let us know in your RSVP of your dietary restrictions and/or allergies!

Can I bring my kids?

While we love all your little ones, unfortunately we cannot accommodate them due to venue size and the sheer number of extended family we both have.

Will there be other events to attend during the wedding week?

Yes! Tuesday we will have a beach day for anyone who is already in town (Casual hangout on the beach in front of the venue, maybe go to another spot about 1/2 a mile down the boardwalk). If you're going to be in town Tuesday reach out to us and we'll send you more details as we know them! Wednesday is the Welcome Party in the evening. Thursday is Wedding Day. Friday we will be eating breakfast/brunch followed by a pool day at Hotel Palacio for anyone who would like to join.
