What if I want a DIY wedding?

If you are a budget-concious wedding couple or if you more of a hands-on-couple and want to show off your creativity the a DIY is what you are looking for. And Cheryl’s suppliers list can  help you plan your perfect wedding celebration in the Algarve.

Cheryl does not plan your wedding day but she can put you in touch with local wedding service providers and on the day co-ordinators. 

The services of a musician, florist, photographer, celebrant, local suppliers etc. that have been previously booked and recommended will be a great help to kick start your research.

The sourcing of a catering service or independent chefs that come recommended is invaluable advice to help you choose a food caterer to suit your style and budget. Your chosen caterer will help you select your style of wedding furnishings and catering items required on the wedding day including the delivery, collection and setup.

There’s ample space here for outside caterers to store supplies and prepare menus. Our fully equipped kitchen is the perfect setting to turn fresh, seasonal produce purchased from the nearby Farmers Market into delicious delights.

We can have local ingredients procured for you, courtesy of our shopping concierge service.

During your stay additional cleaning, change of towels or linen can be booked in advance, if required.

We recommend hiring 33-seater coaches for transporting your wedding guests to alleviate the stress of guests navigating on their own, while allowing them to fully enjoy the wedding with drinks, dancing, and other celebrations. 

Stocking the bar can easily be done from abroad. Cheryl can put you in touch with a local Portuguese wine merchant who can send you a selection of Portuguese wines for you to sample in the comfort of your own home. Wines can be bought on consignment for the wedding celebration so you can return unopened wine bottles.

A standard wedding decoration set is available for hire allowing you time to focus on you own personalised decorations.
