Lisbon Wedding & Elopement FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to elope in Lisbon?

Eloping in Lisbon typically begins around USD 5,500. Prices vary depending on the season, location, and the level of service such as "All-Inclusive". Each package can be tailored to your preferred budget and experience.

What is included in your Lisbon elopement or wedding packages?

Most Lisbon packages include full-day photography coverage (approx. 6–8 hours), local travel on the wedding day, assistance with timeline planning, and an online gallery of edited images. "All-Inclusive" packages often bundle extra services such as hair and makeup, flowers, and concept design. Couples can also add videography, a celebrant, or specific styling elements to match their vision.

Can we legally get married in Lisbon as foreigners?

Yes, Portugal is one of the easier European countries for foreigners to marry legally. However, many couples prefer a symbolic ceremony to avoid the bureaucratic timeline and enjoy a stress-free adventure on the day.

Where are the best places to elope in Lisbon?

Some of the most popular locations include the fairytale palaces and forests of Sintra, the historic cobblestone streets of Lisbon’s Old Town (Alfama), and the dramatic cliffs of the Atlantic Coast (such as Cabo da Roca or Arrábida). These areas offer a mix of urban charm, royal architecture, and rugged ocean views.

What's the best time of year for a Lisbon elopement?

Lisbon is beautiful year-round, but the best seasons for comfortable weather and fewer crowds are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). Summers (June to August) can be very hot and busy, while winters offer mild temperatures and softer light, perfect for moody, romantic photos.

How far in advance should we book a Lisbon wedding package?

It's best to book as early as you can, typically 6–9 months in advance, especially if you plan to visit during the popular spring or summer seasons. Once your preferred date is available, a deposit confirms your booking and secures the vendors needed for your elopement day. Last-minute reservations can still be arranged if your plans are flexible, but any booking made under six weeks before the event will not qualify for the 21-day money-back policy.

Can we customize our elopement package in Lisbon?

Yes, customization is available for Lisbon elopements. You can enhance your package with add-ons, and for anything outside the list, the vendor can help explore your options.

Can we have a Lisbon elopement with guests?

Yes. While some packages are designed strictly for the couple, others allow a small number of guests typically up to 14 people, depending on the specific package. This keeps the event intimate while still allowing close family and friends to join you.

Do your Lisbon elopement packages include a ceremony officiant?

Lisbon elopement packages include a symbolic ceremony, with the option to add a celebrant or officiant if available. If it’s not listed among the add-ons, you can check directly with the vendor.

What should we wear for our Lisbon elopement?

Because Lisbon involves steep hills and cobblestone streets ("calçada portuguesa"), comfortable shoes or block heels are highly recommended. For the ceremony, light and breathable fabrics are best for the warmer months, while a stylish jacket or shawl is useful for breezy coastal evenings or winter elopements.

How long does a Lisbon elopement typically last?

A typical Lisbon elopement lasts about 5–8 hours, depending on the package. This includes preparation, ceremony time, exploring scenic locations (like moving from the city to the coast), and portraits throughout the day.

Can we have an elopement in Lisbon at sunrise or sunset?

Yes. Many couples choose sunrise to capture empty city streets or sunset for golden hour on the cliffs. Timing can be adjusted depending on the season, and your photographer will guide you to capture the most beautiful natural light.

Do you offer Lisbon elopement videography?

Videography is available as an optional add-on.

How do we get around Lisbon on our wedding day?

Your photographer or a private driver typically handles transportation on the elopement day itself, particularly if you are traveling between Lisbon city and locations like Sintra or the coast. Uber and taxis are also very accessible for general travel within the city.
