Planning Support for Destination Weddings in Portugal
Planning a destination wedding in Portugal is exciting but doing it from abroad can feel overwhelming, especially in the early stages.
If you’re planning your wedding independently and want local insight, clarity, and guidance (without full wedding planning) our Planning Support services are designed to help you make confident decisions from the start.
These packages are ideal for couples who want expert support at key moments, while remaining in control of their planning.
Is Planning Support Right For You?
Planning Support is ideal if:
-
You’re planning a destination wedding in Portugal from abroad
-
You want help choosing venues or suppliers
-
You need clarity around budgets, logistics, or next steps
-
You don’t want (or need) full wedding planning
-
You value professional advice, but prefer to plan independently
Many couples choose Planning Support before later booking Wedding Day Coordination.
Others simply want expert input at specific points in their journey.
What We Mean by "Planning Support"
Planning Support sits between DIY planning and full wedding planning.
Instead of managing your entire wedding, we step in to:
-
Provide trusted local recommendations
-
Help you avoid costly mistakes
-
Give structure and clarity to your planning
-
Support informed decision‑making
You stay in control.
We provide guidance, tools, and local expertise when it matters most.
Amazing experience!
I would listen to any and all advice! Every vendor Claudia recommended went above and beyond to make our day so magical. Anything connecting to Claudia and her role was flawless.

How Planning Support Works
1. You choose the level of support you need
2. We gather details about your wedding vision and priorities
3. You receive tailored recommendations and tools
4. You plan confidently with expert guidance behind you
There's no obligation to book further services, but many couples later choose to add Wedding Day Coordination once their plans are in place
Planning Support & Wedding Day Coordination
Planning Support and Wedding Day Coordination work seamlessly together, but they don’t have to be booked at the same time.
Many couples:
-
Start with Planning Support
-
Plan their wedding independently
-
Then book Wedding Day Coordination closer to the wedding
This flexible approach allows you to get the right support at the right stage of your planning journey.
