Ceremony
Join us for the 'Yes, I do' moment. Our ceremony will be held in german as our love language is German. We will gather at the church at 2 PM. Parking is available around the church, but if it's full, there’s additional space in the nearby
parking garage.
3:30 PM
Travel to Quinta
It's time to switch locations but keep the same fabulous company. Let's caravan in style to Quinta do Paço, where the real adventure begins. Fasten your seatbelts, safety first!
4:30 PM
Cocktail Hour
As we mix and mingle, let the cocktail hour begin! Where the drinks are cold but the welcomes are warm. Get ready to clink glasses, share laughs, and possibly make a new friend or two.
7:00 PM
Wedding Photos
Smile time! We're rounding up the gang for some wedding photos. Perfect your poses, because we're capturing love, laughter, and that one uncle who always closes his eyes at the wrong moment.
7:30 PM  
Dinner & Speeches  
Feast as if you've just discovered your new favorite Portuguese cuisine and listen to the fabulous speeches. It's a dinner where love is the main ingredient.
10:30 PM
Cake Cutting & Party
Let the real fun begin! Time to hit the dance floor where the beats drop harder than your great-aunt's dance moves. Whether you've got two left feet or moves like Jagger, there's a rhythm for everyone.

Daytime temperatures can soar, so it's crucial to keep yourself well-hydrated. As the evening approaches, the air might turn cool, so bringing along a light jacket is advisable. A handy tip: since we'll encounter cobblestones nearly everywhere, consider packing comfortable flat shoes for ease of walking.

Ponte de Luis

This iconic bridge offers breathtaking views and serves as a connection between Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia. It's a must-see for its architectural beauty and scenic overlooks.

Just a short walk from the Ponte de Luis, this viewpoint offers stunning panoramic views of the city and the bridge. We recommend visiting at sunset to enjoy the scenery alongside local street artists.

A vibrant food market where you can indulge in local delicacies, including fine port wine. It's a feast for the senses and a great way to experience local culture.

For wine enthusiasts eager to delve deep into the world of winemaking, WOW is an essential visit. This modern, interactive museum offers insights into the year-round process of wine manufacturing, differentiating between white, rosé, red, and port wines. However, note that it is more of a learning experience than a wine-tasting one.
