Elegant Destination Wedding
Finding the perfect venue and location is the first step in designing a stunning and timeless wedding weekend. We do things differently; we don’t just pick the venue we’ve seen 100 times or whatever is easiest. We don’t put a time limit on this part of our process. We search high and low to provide our clients with options that are one-of-a-kind and perfectly suited for the experience they want to share with their favorite people. And we’ll go to the most remote and undiscovered parts of our country to find something that feels perfect.
When it comes to elegant destination weddings, The Yeatman in Porto stands out as a paragon of elegance and sophistication. Nestled in the heart of Portugal’s most charming city, The Yeatman offers breathtaking views of the Douro River and the historical Ribeira district. It is no wonder that Magali and Maxime chose this iconic venue to celebrate their love story.

Porto, known for its rich history and vibrant culture, is fast becoming a top choice for couples looking to host a destination wedding. Its picturesque streets, historic architecture, and beautiful waterfront provide an ideal setting for romantic ceremonies and receptions. The city’s unique charm and warm hospitality make every guest feel special.
The Yeatman is not just another venue; it is an experience. This five-star luxury hotel is renowned for its exceptional service, world-class amenities, and stunning views. It offers a perfect blend of traditional Portuguese charm and contemporary elegance. Whether you envision a grand celebration or an intimate gathering, The Yeatman can cater to your every need, ensuring that your wedding is as unique as your love story.
At About Events, we believe that every wedding should be a reflection of the couple’s unique story and style. That’s why we take a personalized approach to wedding planning. From the moment you begin your consultation with us, we dedicate ourselves to understanding your vision and bringing it to life. With Magali and Maxime, we had the privilege of planning an elegant and delicate wedding that seamlessly blended Portuguese culture with Belgian elegance.
When designing the color palette for Magali and Maxime’s elegant destination wedding at The Yeatman, we wanted to create a sense of calmness and lushness while adding a subtle pop of color. We opted for shades of blue and lavender to create contrast and visual interest. This choice not only elevated the space but also complemented the venue’s natural surroundings. The colors flowed seamlessly from the ceremony to the reception, creating a cohesive and harmonious atmosphere.
The ceremony took place on the hotel terrace, with a unique backdrop that only the city of Porto and the Douro River can offer. As the couple exchanged their vows, the golden sun dipped low in the sky, casting a warm glow over the landscape and illuminating the intricate details of the floral arrangements. Guests were captivated by the breathtaking view, which perfectly complemented the couple’s love story, making this significant occasion even more unforgettable.
In the reception, we introduced candles and linens to enhance the intimate ambiance and complement the overall design of this elegant destination wedding. The soft glow of flickering candlelight created a warm, inviting atmosphere, perfect for celebrating the couple’s love with family and friends. We selected luxurious linens in subtle hues that mirrored the wedding’s color palette, allowing the rich textures to add depth to each table setting. Layering the linens with elegant tableware resulted in a sophisticated, layered look that perfectly captured the essence of the celebration. This attention to detail not only elevated the visual appeal but also contributed to a welcoming and memorable experience for all attendees.
Designing a space that not only complements but also contrasts the surrounding venue is one of our specialties. As the sun dipped below the skyline of Porto and our candles illuminated the intimate alfresco dining setup, we knew that this experience at The Yeatman was one we would never forget.
