HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET A PASSPORT?
It can take up to 10 weeks+ to get your USA passport. Please book an appointment well in advance.
WILL I NEED A PLUG ADAPTER FOR PORTUGAL?
YES - You can find these on amazon. I would also recommend a voltage converter for any and all hair products. (Blow dryer, Curling Iron, Straighter etc). In Portugal the power plugs and sockets are of type C and F. The standard voltage is 230 V and the standard frequency is 50 Hz.
CAN I PURCHASE TRAIN TICKETS THE DAY OF TRAVEL?
Yes, it is very easy to move around Portugal and Europe. You can buy tickets online or at the station. If you are planning a longer journey to another country, we do suggest you purchase them ahead of time.
WHAT CURRENCY DOES PORTUGAL ACCEPT?
Portugal uses Euros but will also accept most major credit cards. Check with your bank to determine if you will be hit with an international transaction fee or not. (Get those travel points!)
IS THE COVID-19 VACCINE REQUIRED TO ENTER PORTUGAL?
At this time, there is NO vaccine requirement to enter Portugal. If you are traveling to other countries, please check the local government requirements.
DO I TIP AT RESTAURANTS OR BARS?
Tipping is not common in Europe. A service charge is included within the bill.
DO I NEED TO RENT A CAR?
No, you can easily get around Portugal with public transport and walking.
CAN I BRING A PLUS ONE?
Due to limited space, we can only accommodate guests who are formally invited. If you've received a plus one, they'll be specifically addressed on your envelope. Otherwise, we ask that only the named people on the invitation are in attendance. Thank you for understanding.
ARE CHILDREN WELCOME?
As much as we love your little ones, our wedding is exclusively for adults.
CAN I TAKE PHOTOS DURING THE CEREMONY?
We ask that you kindly put your phones and cameras away during the ceremony as we want you all to be present with us in the moment. We have a professional photographer and videographer capturing the ceremony for us. Other than the ceremony, yes! Please feel free to take as many photos and videos as you like.
IS THE WEDDING OUTSIDE?
Yes, as the sun will be shining (hopefully) only the ceremony will be outside. The reception will be inside. Please make sure to dress appropriately.
