Portugal destination wedding
Imagine a wedding so beautiful, so perfectly planned, that it feels like stepping into a fairy tale. That’s exactly what happened when Netaya and Michael decided to celebrate their love with a breathtaking 3-day destination wedding at Forte da Cruz in Cascais, Portugal.
At About Events we believe that Destination weddings have a unique charm. They combine the excitement of travel with the joy of celebration, creating memories that last a lifetime. For Netaya and Michael, choosing Forte da Cruz in Cascais, Portugal, was an easy decision. The historic castle, stunning ocean views, and picturesque surroundings made it the ideal location for their dream wedding. Forte da Cruz is more than just a wedding venue; it’s a place where history meets luxury. Nestled on the coast of Cascais, this 17th-century fortress offers panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, lush gardens, and elegant architecture. It’s no wonder that Forte da Cruz has become a sought-after destination for luxury weddings.

The welcome cocktail took place at the charming Hotel Baia, located just a stone’s throw away from the stunning coastline of Cascais, Portugal. With its contemporary design and inviting ambiance, the hotel provided the perfect setting for guests to unwind and reconnect after their travels. As Netaya and Michael welcomed their loved ones, the terrace offered breathtaking views of the Atlantic, making for an unforgettable evening. Guests sipped on refreshing cocktails while indulging in an exquisite array of hors d’oeuvres, showcasing the rich culinary heritage of the region. This initial gathering set the stage for a magical celebration, filled with love, laughter, and the promise of more unforgettable moments to come.
The second day was all about the wedding ceremony. The couple exchanged vows in a beautiful outdoor setting, surrounded by the natural beauty of Forte da Cruz. With the Atlantic Ocean as their witness, Netaya and Michael’s love story unfolded in the most magical way.
The reception was a breathtaking display of floral elegance, with vibrant blooms artfully arranged throughout the venue. Hanging lights danced above the guests, casting a warm, romantic glow that illuminated the space and created an enchanting atmosphere. Exquisite linens, in rich textures and deep shades, draped the tables, adding layers of sophistication to the setting. Together, these elements transformed the reception into a stunning celebration of love, inviting guests to revel in the beauty of the moment.
The celebration continued into the night, with guests dancing barefoot under a canopy of stars. Netaya and Michael’s joy was palpable as they sabered a bottle of champagne and sang their hearts out on the dance floor. It was a night to remember, filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.
The third day began with a delightful brunch at the luxurious garden of Hotel Estoril Palácio, where guests gathered to reminisce about the previous day’s festivities. As laughter filled the air and stories were shared, the atmosphere was infused with a sense of warmth.
At About Events, we believe that each wedding should be a unique reflection of the couple’s journey together. Personal touches and meaningful details are what make a celebration truly special, intertwining the couple’s history, personality, and dreams. We strive to curate experiences that are not just visually stunning but also rich in sentiment, ensuring that every moment resonates with the couple and their loved ones. By embracing the individuality of each couple, we help transform their visions into a beautiful reality, celebrating their love story in a way that is distinctly theirs.
Netaya and Michael’s 3-day celebration was a testament to the magic that can happen when love and exceptional planning come together.
