The “pre-wedding” event in Lisbon
More and more foreigners choose our beautiful Country, and in particular, the city of Lisbon for their “travel wedding”. So, we recently had the opportunity to organize a “pre-wedding” event! And what is this? There will be some of you asking… it’s the perfect opportunity to gather all the guests in advance and provide the ideal moment for them to get to know each other.
Everything went smoothly…
A professional wedding planner advised the young, friendly couple from the United States to hold their party before the wedding in Lisbon. Over 40 guests were welcomed at this welcome party before the wedding. So, in addition to enjoying themselves in a relaxing and charming way, they discovered Lisbon on a boat trip during the sunset.
On board was served a menu that illustrated the Portuguese culture and gastronomy. To accompany, a selection of wines harmonized for the purpose and satisfying some very special requests, such as the existence of a Rosé on board. It was, without a doubt, an introduction to the city of Lisbon, unique and unforgettable.
… and they lived happily ever after
In this relaxed way, the guests mingled in an informal atmosphere and an idyllic setting. Many of the bride and groom’s friends and family met at this party before the wedding. The emotions felt on board, the toast to the couple, the symbolism of the moment of ending the single stage and, above all, the beginning of a new life together ensured that this was a truly memorable gathering.
This type of event has seen significant growth in recent years in Lisbon. In fact, we have received clients of various nationalities who seek us out to help them with their organization. These are initiatives that we develop with pleasure, in which the level of detail and personalization required involve a high level of engagement from our team, being therefore one of the main reasons for the success we have achieved in these initiatives.
The post-wedding
Although pre-wedding events occur more frequently, we have already been given the opportunity to hold a post-wedding party.
This year we had the opportunity to hold a truly memorable post-wedding event. A friendly and passionate North American couple chose Portugal as the setting for the celebration of this union. The wedding took place in the Mafra area and, the next day, they traveled to Lisbon accompanied by friends and family and embarked with us
We provided an elegant and spacious boat that, during the journey, offered panoramic views of Lisbon and its most emblematic monuments. As the boat sailed through the river waters, guests enjoyed traditionally Portuguese tapas, accompanied by sangria and the best local wines.
The post-wedding celebration on a boat provided a relaxed and unique atmosphere where guests could toast to the couple’s love and happiness. Below is the testimonial from this couple that left our hearts full:
“Amazing experience with Lisbon Sight Sailing! We rented the two deck catamaran for a sunset cruise for 70 people and it was perfect. The boat was beautiful and the staff were absolutely wonderful. With two bars and tasty snacks, all of our guests were incredibly happy. The team was also very helpful and easy to work with as we planned the event. Thank you!”
