Planning a wedding here
Wedding season in the north of Portugal runs from May to October. The site does not name an indoor hall, so ask what happens if it rains. Christenings, communions and weddings also call for preparation for everyone who is not the bride, and that is what social makeup in Porto is for.
Guests flying in land 60 km away, about 50 min by road. The nearest town centre for hotels is 6 km away.
Neither the site nor the 206 reviews read name a chapel. For a religious ceremony, count on the church in the parish and the drive between the two.
On the first call, ask seated capacity indoors and outdoors, separately, whether there is more than one event on the same day and whether the kitchen is theirs or outside catering comes in.
