Frequently Asked Questions

  • All wedding festivities are held at Castelo Ventoso Country Estate.

  • Just good fun!

    Expect a casual and laid-back vibe with lots of fun, laughter and good food.

    To us, the most important thing is to make memories with you.

  • Weekend Shuttle Transport
    For Friday and Saturday evening, return shuttles will run from Castelo Ventoso back to the following hotels in Évora:

    • Évora O Cante Hotel

    • Moiras Suites

    • Convento do Espinheiro

    Please note that transport will only drop guests at these three hotels. If you are staying elsewhere in Évora, any additional transport beyond these locations will need to be self-arranged.

    Local Transport
    For transport to Évora and the venue, we recommend using Uber or Bolt, both of which operate in the area and are easy to use for short rides.

    Driving
    If you choose to drive, there is parking on the property.

    Note:
    During the ceremony there will be minimal shade, so sun protection is advised (hat or sunglasses). Evenings can cool slightly, so a light jacket or shawl is recommended.

  • It’s typically warm, dry and sunny. Average day time temprature 27 - 31 degrees. And at night 15 to 17 degrees. Rain is rare.

    The ceremony wedding is outdoors with minimal shade. We recommend sun protection.

    The party will be held indoors.

  • We’ll kick off the weekend with a fun padel session to get everyone moving and meeting each other.

    We’ll play quick tiebreaks (first to 7 points), winners stay on as the kings or queens of the court, others rotate in.

    No experience needed, just great energy and a bit of friendly competition. Balls and rackets will be provided.

    By the end, we’ll crown 1 padel champion of the weekend :-)

    This is totally optional; no pressure if you would rather skip this and go straight to the Welcome Party, which starts from 7PM.

  • Many of you are travelling from afar to celebrate with us, so your presence is the ultimate gift.
