What Our Couples Say

We interviewed 5 other planners...

We interviewed 5 other wedding planners for our Portugal destination wedding but chose Claudia and the Take A Vow Portugal team. Claudia grew up in Cascais - where we got married - with deep roots across Portugal and years working in London, so language was never a barrier. She had endless recommendations across venues, florists, catering, music and more, and executed our vision with perfection, making smart pivots when the weather didn't cooperate.

Planning a wedding in Portugal

Many couples initially search for a wedding planner in Portugal before discovering that wedding day coordination is the better option. 

Traditional wedding planners often work with 

High minimum spends

Fixed supplier lists

All in budgets

Couples who opt for Wedding Day Coordination 

Get more value for money

Avoid 'cookie cutter' weddings (that come from working with the same suppliers over and over again)

Have total budget transparency

What is Wedding Planning Support?

You do not need a full-service planner to have an incredible wedding in Portugal. 

For many couple, that's actually the wrong choice - high minimum spends, fixed supplier lists and a lack of budget transparency are a Portugal wedding reality. 

The 90 - Day Intensive is different.

It's 1:1 planning support from someone who has been on the ground in the Portuguese wedding industry for years - without the commitment, the restrictions or the price tag of full service planning. 

✅ No minimum budget

✅ No forced suppliers

✅ No markups on supplier quotes

✅ You choose your suppliers and pay them directly

This is local expertise, industry knowledge and honest guidance - all the insight, none of the loss of control.

How it works

Over 90 days, we work through your wedding plan together

We start by mapping our your vision, your budget and what still needs to be decided.

From there, you get 1:1 support and direct access to real vendor recommendations, honest pricing guidance, and answers to all the venue specific and personal questions that you can't Google.

We check in at key milestones so nothing slips through the cracks - venue and supplier decisions, budget tracking, timeline building and anything specific to your wedding.

 

The result? A wedding plan you built yourself, with the confidence that you haven't missed anything important - it's right, not a guess.
