Civil ceremony at the estate
Getting legally married outdoors is simpler than it seems. We explain what you need (documents, deadlines and steps) and handle the paperwork with you.
Legal, outdoors, your way
You can marry with full legal validity under the trees in the garden. You just need to open the process at the Civil Registry Office (Conservatória do Registo Civil) and we take care of the rest.
Step by step
The road to a legal “yes”
01Choose the date and time
Ideally late in the afternoon, so the ceremony coincides with the golden hour.
02Open the process
At the Civil Registry Office, ideally 3 to 6 months before the day.
03Gather the documents
The full list is below; tick them off as you collect them.
04Confirm your witnesses
Choose your witnesses and collect their identification details.
05Choose the exact spot
We choose the spot on the estate with you and take care of the whole set-up.
06Celebrate
The registrar or celebrant leads the ceremony, outdoors, with full legal validity.
3–6 months
before the day is the ideal time to open the process, with room for the unexpected.
2 witnesses
are enough for the civil ceremony: adults with valid identification.
Outdoors
the ceremony can take place in the gardens, with the same validity as indoors.
