31 Days To Go!
How many days do you recommend for Lisbon?
At least 3 full days! We recommend arriving at latest Tue May 19 early morning and leaving Thu May 21 to partake in our wedding plans, while also having sufficient free time to enjoy town.
There's so much to appreciate about Lisbon - why we keep coming back and decided to get married here :)
What time should we arrive to each day's event?
We expect to begin our events shortly after the stated times for each day. Please plan to arrive punctually so to not miss out on any fun!
What's the best way to get to the welcome party and Pestana Palace?
Uber! Depending on where you're staying, either location will be more than likely a quick ride away (if not already walking distance). We just encourage you to plan ahead given rush hour traffic.
Will the events be held indoors or outdoors?
We hope to take advantage of Lisbon’s lovely late spring weather! All things permitting, our welcome party, ceremony, and cocktail hour will be held outdoors, followed by dinner and dancing indoors. Please dress accordingly!
Will there be photo opportunities with you guys?
Absolutely. Aside from casual opportunities throughout events (get your phones ready!), we have also hired a couple of very talented photo/videographers to capture our special day. Additionally, during cocktail hour, our planners will be helping to coordinate group photos in the Pestana garden.
Will there be food during the welcome party?
Of course—the Portuguese know how to live and eat well. Alongside an open bar, please come hungry to enjoy a buffet spread throughout the evening.
Can we bring kids?
Absolutely, we'd love for everyone to join our celebration. Just give us a heads up so that we can best accommodate any special requests!
Do you have a registry or preferred way to give a gift?
Your presence is truly the greatest gift to us. For those who wish to give something extra, a card box will be available on the wedding day, and our registry can be found on our website.
For your convenience, we also gratefully accept Venmo (@wilhua). Thank you so much for celebrating with us!
