Your wedding day is one of the most cherished milestones in your life—a celebration of love, surrounded by those closest to you. At Take A Vow Portugal, we understand how important it is to ensure your day is not only beautiful but also stress-free and meticulously planned. Our Full Planning Service is designed to take the weight off your shoulders, allowing you to enjoy the journey to "I do" while we handle the details. 

With our professional expertise, local knowledge, and creative flair, we provide a comprehensive service that turns your vision into a seamless and unforgettable reality. Here’s a closer look at how we make it happen: 

 

1. Communication and Planning Milestones 

Clear communication is at the heart of our planning process. From the moment we begin working together, we schedule five key milestone meetings to discuss progress, address your questions, and ensure every detail aligns with your vision. These meetings keep us on track and make space for collaboration, so your ideas are always front and center. 

 

2. Budget Management 

We know that managing a wedding budget can feel overwhelming, which is why we provide a detailed breakdown of costs and offer expert advice on how to allocate your budget effectively. Our goal is to help you achieve the wedding of your dreams without unnecessary stress, ensuring every euro is spent wisely.

3. Venue Selection 

Portugal offers a stunning variety of wedding venues, from historic palaces to oceanfront escapes. We research and recommend venues that suit your style, preferences, and guest list. Once you’ve chosen your dream location, we coordinate site visits, negotiate contracts, and manage the relationship with the venue to ensure everything runs smoothly.

4. Vendor Recommendations and Coordination 

The right vendors can elevate your wedding from lovely to extraordinary. We use our trusted network of photographers, florists, caterers, and other professionals to match you with the best in the industry. From negotiating contracts to managing payment schedules, we handle all communication to save you time and ensure your vendors deliver exceptional results. We'll also arrange tastings and finalize food and beverage selections with you. 

 

5. Guest Experience 

Your guests’ comfort and enjoyment are a priority. We handle the logistics of dietary requirements, accessibility needs, and accommodation options. For destination weddings, we provide an itinerary for your guests to make the most of their time in Portugal, ensuring their experience is as memorable as yours. 

 

6. Timeline Management 

Wedding planning is a complex process with countless moving parts. We create a detailed timeline of tasks and milestones to keep everything on track, giving you access to a shared wedding file where all checklists and planning documents are updated in real time. 

 



7. Design and Decor Vision 

Every wedding tells a story, and we’re here to help bring yours to life. We develop a tailored design proposal that outlines the overall aesthetic, color palette, decor elements, and floral arrangements. Whether you envision a rustic countryside celebration or a sleek modern affair, we translate your ideas into a cohesive and beautiful style guide. 

 

8. Decor and Styling Execution 

From sourcing linens and tableware to coordinating lighting, signage, and decorative accents, we ensure every detail reflects your vision. We also handle furniture rentals, drapery, and wedding favors, creating a space that feels uniquely yours. 

 

9. Venue Layout and Arrangement 

We carefully plan the layout of your ceremony and reception spaces, optimizing seating arrangements, guest flow, and event spaces to enhance the experience for everyone. 

 

10. Transportation and Logistics 

Whether it’s arranging transportation for the wedding party or managing guest transfers, we ensure everyone arrives on time and stress-free. Our team coordinates all logistics so you can relax and enjoy the moment. 

 

11. Pre- and Post-Wedding Events 

Many couples want to extend their celebration beyond the wedding day. We offer full planning support for one additional event, such as a welcome drinks reception or rehearsal dinner. These moments are just as important as the main event, and we ensure they’re just as thoughtfully planned. 

 

12. Extra Touches for a Seamless Experience 

Our Full Planning Service goes beyond the basics to ensure your wedding day is as seamless as possible. From managing room blocks for your guests to providing a comprehensive itinerary and overseeing every detail, we’re here to make your experience stress-free.
