Frequently Asked Questions
The answers couples ask for most often — before, during and after booking.
Pricing and budget
How much does a wedding or event at the estate cost?
There is no fixed price list. The figure depends on the type of event, the number of guests and the date you choose. Requesting a tailored proposal is free and we reply straight away.
Is the price the same whatever the date?
No. It varies with the season and with how much demand there is for the week and date you pick, which is why every proposal is calculated for one specific date.
What is included in the price?
- Exclusive use of the estate — one event per day
- Base decoration
- A team to prepare the event
- Catering, with the menus for your type of event
- Coordination throughout the day of the event
- Cleaning during the event
How do I request a tailored proposal?
Through the proposal request form on this site. If you are planning from abroad, you can book a video call instead of an in-person visit.
Availability and dates
How do I know whether my date is free?
The calendar on the site shows availability in real time. It syncs with our diary every 15 minutes.
What does it mean when a date is marked as a pre-booking?
It means another couple has already shown firm interest in that date and holds the right of first refusal for 10 days. You can carry on with your own process — if the pre-booking does not go ahead, the date is released.
Can I book a visit before deciding on a date?
Yes. You do not need a date fixed to come and see the estate.
I changed my mind about the date after receiving a proposal. What happens?
Because the price is calculated per date, you need to request a new proposal for the new date. The previous one no longer applies.
Catering and menus
What kinds of menu do you offer?
Four tiers for weddings, two for corporate dinners and birthdays, a family menu for christenings and anniversaries, and a seasonal Christmas menu.
Can the menu be adapted to dietary requirements such as allergies or vegetarian diets?
Yes. We have a wide range of vegan and vegetarian dishes, and every menu is adjusted to allergies and preferences.
Do you have menus for themed weddings?
Yes. Each of the eight themed packs has a menu of its own.
Process and timings
Once I am happy with the proposal, what are the next steps?
Usually: confirming the date, then the contract, and only afterwards the operational choices — menu, table plan, decoration and the timeline for the day.
Do I sign the contract before or after choosing the menu and decoration?
Before. The contract secures the date; the menu, table plan, decoration and timeline come afterwards, without rushing.
How long do you take to answer a proposal request?
Proposal requests are answered immediately.
Do you host destination weddings?
Yes. The estate is 20 minutes from Porto airport and our team speaks Portuguese, English, French and Spanish. Our destination weddings page covers languages, accommodation and capacity.
Visits and contact
How do I book a visit to the estate?
Through the visit booking form on the site.
Are visits in person only, or can they be by video call?
Both. The booking form asks which language you prefer and whether you would rather come in person or meet remotely by video call.
How do I know my visit is confirmed?
You receive confirmation by email.
