We’re so excited to share this special time with you! Our wedding journey will take us through two beautiful cities in Portugal—Porto and Braga—offering a unique opportunity to explore the best of both.
From Friday, July 4th, to Monday, July 7th, we’ll be in Porto for our pre-wedding celebrations. During this time, we’ll be staying at the InterContinental Porto - Palácio das Cardosas, but guests are welcome to stay wherever they choose! To make things easier, we’ll provide additional hotel recommendations at a variety of price points to help you find the perfect fit.
On Monday, July 7th, we’ll provide transportation for all guests from the InterContinental in Porto to the main wedding hotel in Braga, the Hotel Vila Galé Collection Braga.
WEDDING IS TUESDAY, JULY 8th.
We understand that switching locations and hotels might feel like a bit much, but trust us—it’s worth it! This plan allows you to enjoy the rich history, culture, and flavors of both Porto and Braga. Think of it as a mini vacation with an incredible wedding as the highlight!
We can’t wait to celebrate with you and make unforgettable memories together in these stunning locations.
