Algarve Wedding Planners

I cannot recommend Paula Grade and her team for all their hard work support and care they gave to us planning our wedding. It was cancelled on a few occasions due to Covid but it was well worth the wait. Every supplier was fantastic . The hotel and staff were beyond attentive . I honestly cannot put into words how amazing everything was and to have someone like Paula snd her team by your side we had nothing to worry about. We wish we could do it all over again xx amazing amazing amazing

I can not thank the Algarve Wedding Planners enough for all their help and support in making our Wedding Day one of the best days of our lives. From start to finish Paula was by our side and nothing was ever too much. The quality of vendors is exceptional who work with the AWP are of the highest standard. Because of the team my wedding day went without any issues and was perfect - 5 months later family and friends are still talking about it. If i had to do it all again id defiantly pick Paula and her Team. Thank you all.

We've been to many fantastic weddings and are very lucky to have gotten to experience a lot of them in other countries. But, there was something different about one wedding we?d been to in the Algarve in 2011 and that something different was Algarve Wedding Planners.

We first met Paula in March 2015 and having never planned a wedding before we?d no idea what to expect! We clicked instantly! We didn't really know what type wedding we wanted, but we did know what type wedding we didn't want and that was enough. That was all Paula needed and so she began to work her magic.

In September 2015 we visited the Algarve to view a couple of venues for the wedding. The attention, love and service we received from Paula was exceptional. On route to our first venue Paula said I'm showing you this place first, based on our meeting in March. She said, ?I think this will be your favourite, I think you?ll fall in love with this place?. She wasn't wrong, we did! She got it 100% right and looking back, this was testament to Paula's knowledge, experience and ability to listen. And so we did it, our wedding was booked. It was official! Between that September and January 2016 we?d also booked our photographer and band. Both of which were recommended to us by Paula and her team in AWP.

Over the following year I had a lot of communication with Paula and her team in AWP. Regardless of the amount of emails or queries I had, I was never more a day or two awaiting a response, even if the response was to tell me they we?re still looking into my query. AWP really managed my expectations. I never imagined planning a wedding to be so seamless and stress free. Their creativity, knowledge and connections across all elements of organising a wedding is extraordinary. Amazingly the service didn't end there. AWP we?re very open to exploring new opportunities to provide us with what we wanted.

In March 2017, we had a flying visit to the Algarve. This was so we could indulge ourselves in tasting the food for our wedding and also gave me the chance to have a hair & make up trail before the wedding. All very important elements of the wedding, none of which you should take any chances on! Again, the service and attention to detail from both Paula and the wedding co-ordinator of the hotel was amazing. We felt like royalty and were counting down the days to September.

September 2017, we arrived in the Algarve four days before the wedding. We met both the celebrant and Paula, who took us to the hotel for a run through of how the ceremony/dinner and party would flow. We've never felt so excited in our lives. I said to Dave, this is it, two years of planning we?re going to enjoy every single second of this. I knew we would because we knew Paula and her team had it all covered.

29th September 2017 had arrived, the day was a huge success, we were both so relaxed and just soaked it all in. All our guests were super impressed with every element of the wedding and had an absolutely fantastic day. A day that could not have been so successful without Paula, all of her team at AWP and all the suppliers we worked with. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. It was the best day of our lives, one we?d happily live over and over again if we could!

The day we became husband and wife and also made a friend for life, thank you Paula x
Love Dave & Amanda Anderson

Our day was perfect! Massive thankyou to Algarve Wedding Planners especially Sandra and Andrea. You are amazing at what you do..

Karina and Paula are incredible!!! They made the whole wedding process so easy! Being in a different country we were a little bit worried about how the whole thing would go but Karina told us not to worry that it would all be ok and it was way better than ok! We were blown away by everything! All the little details and any request we made were sorted! I recommend these ladies and their team! They will make all your dreams come true!

I found Algarve Wedding Planners to be extremely helpful, they were very efficient with any enquirers that I had in the lead up to the wedding. The staff are so genuine and nice and so helpful. I would highly recommend Algarve Wedding Planners. They made our wedding a wonderful stress free event. Full of amazing memories that we will cherish forever.

Absolutely amazing!!!! Highly recommend the Algarve Wedding Planners. From start to finish they where by our side planning the best day of our life's. I never worried once because I knew Sandra was there to help at every corner. It's not just a job to these amazing ladies it's their life, their enthusiasm and dedication shows you how much they love weddings????????????

The day went seamlessly, they were very organised and welcoming, could not have asked for better!!

Excellent in every way. took the stress from getting married.

We would highly recommend Algarve Wedding Planners and the Vidamar Resort,
We were blown away with the service we received, they went above and beyond on the day making my husband and our guests feel like VIPs for the day!

Paula & Andreia are an advert for professionalism!!! Offer of advice and listening ear are only two of their strengths! I had a completely different venue in mind, if it wasn't for Andreia's recommendation I wouldn't have had the day I had!!

We really cannot fault the level of service and the attention to detail that Algarve Wedding Planners offer. We still get comments from friends and family as to how seamless the day was and that was due to the meticulous planning. Not only was the planning exceptional but the manner in which it is done results in very little stress on everyone involved. Highly recommend!

Excellent service from the moment we met! Algarve wedding planners are fantastic they made us feel so at ease always respond quickly to our emails and always on hand to give their professional advice. Can't wait to see it all unfold next May!

From our first meeting with Algarve Wedding Planners to the follow up meetings after the wedding the amazing ladies of AWP exceeded all our expectations. Nothing was ever a problem for then. Throughout the whole planning process they were patient and understanding. We encountered some difficulties with our venue but AWP took control and made sure myself and my husband had the wedding of our dreams.

I would without hesitation recommend AWP to couples who are thinking of getting married in Portugal. AWP offer the best venues and suppliers and will go out of their way to make sure your wedding is perfect.

We mainly worked with Valerie who was a very big part of our wedding. Nothing was ever to stressful and no request was to seen as too much for her!

I was a very hard task master and she was very relaxed, professional and always gave me extreme confidence that she was in control.

I know that there was a lovely support team around Valerie and with Paula overseeing everything.

Great Standards and I would recommend them every time (in fact I have recommended them to friends already)!

I hope that I never need to use them again as I am now married :-) thanks to all at AWP

Excellent service would highly recommend them.

we were delighted to have the Algarve wedding planners helping us with our wedding and we found them extremely professional but we were disappointed with the photographer and the hairdresser they recommended.

Our amazing day was made possible by the AWP!

They are a very professional company to deal with. Unfortunately I am a 100% perfectionist who never gives 5 stars!

If you're looking to get married in the Algarve then you must contact these ladies! From the very beginning Patricia and the rest of the team put me at ease and patiently answered my many questions, and gave no strings attached, honest advice. Nothing was a problem. The wedding day its self was at the Sheraton Algarve and went like a dream, it was almost too easy! Everything was organised perfectly, from the flowers, hair and makeup, transport, food etc we could't fault it. Thank you again AWP, love from Mr & Mrs S Xx

Thank you very much to the AWP's for an amazing wedding in Alvor ,Portugal on September 3rd 2012.Myself and Aisling had a brilliant day and night ....not to mention all our guests 130 of us to be exact ! :)
The lead up to our day was nerve racking as one could expect but on the day itself it was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.My friends had the AWP's sorting their wedding a year before which is where we got the idea from.
Everything on the day was co-ordinated perfectly from leaving the hotel to the church to the venue afterwards/first dance/cutting of cake etc etc...The band TWIN FLAMES were the highlight of our day...They played some beautiful songs at the church and the singing was super...then on the party night itself they played everything we wanted and much much more.The day was a beautiful sunny day and everyone with us had an amazing time.
AWP's and TWIN FLAMES are coming to Cork soon and I would recommend anyone who wants to get married in Portugal to go and see these guys !
We worried a small bit about everything being ok on our wedding day but honestly it could not have been more perfect...Thank you sincerely AWP's and TWIN FLAMES.....

If you are thinking of getting married in the amazing Algarve you have to contact these ladies. They organised the best venue, "Montes das Algoas" who had amazing food, unbelievable service, the best band, Double Cocktail who got the guests going all night and kept the party going and gave us the most amazing entrance ever these are the people to go to. If you need a further reference or video footage.... not a problem just e mail me.

We need to say a massive thank you to Paula Karina and Valerie along with Orlando and his team and michael our hairdresser (who lent our guests his phone charger, electricity adaptor and multiple tins of hairspray...) for last Saturday 28th April. We are only back in the land of the living today after arriving home in Ireland. Our day ran sooooo smoothly and everythin was taken care of like when I... felt I needed a cigarette before the church and Paula accosted two local boys to give me one :) Or when our baby got sick all over herself and the girls helped my friends to sort her out in the hotel room so I didnt have to leave my wedding.... Needless to say the church, flowers, venue, food and service were all top class and our guests cannot stop raving about the day..
So thanks again and speak soon.A massive thank you.

If you are looking for wedding planners in Portugal.. these are the team you want. Simply amazing. They will organise everything with as much thought and love as if they were organising their own day.
Do not hesitate to put all your faith in Paula, Karina & co. They will not let you down and will make all your dreams come true. Ours did.
Thank you so much for everything.

Paula,
Just wanted to write a quick thank you to let you know how grateful we were for such an amazing perfect wedding day! I will write again, once I have chance to sit down and think about all the details that made it so special :)So many of our guest said it looked like a Hollywood wedding! We are so happy that the day went so well - it was perfect! I understand now why you get such great reviews - but they still don't do you justice! Being there cannot compare to reading about it and looking at pictures. I wish everyone could experience it like we did. Thank you so much! Thanks again Paula. I don't think I can ever thank you enough!

Paula, Karina, Valerie & Patricia,
I'm sorry for the delay in sending this email - We are just getting back to reality after our time off.
I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your wonderful work to make our wedding the... special day it was. We couldn't have planned it more perfectly and certainly couldn't have done it without your help. Everything ran like clockwork from the moment we met you in Dublin. We truly loved every minute of our day and thanks to you guys the preparations were a breeze. Nothing was a problem, last minute changes were organised as if they had been in place for months. The hotel was wonderful and without having seen it until 2 days before you were so right that it was more beautiful in real life than in the photos. Everyone has said that they have never been to a more beautiful wedding and of course we agree.

Anyone thinking of getting married in Portugal don't think twice, with Paula, Karina and Valerie from algarve wedding planners you will have complete peace of mind and not be one bit sorry. Our wedding completely surpassed our expectations and AWP went over and beyond for us. They are so professional and the suppliers they use are amazing, from my makeup and hair artist to photo and video guys to our church music and wedding band (Twin flames) and florist and wedding venue (os agostos) they were all just amazing and so easy to deal with. My advice is put all your trust in the girls and the rest will fall into place, my wedding guests said they had never been to such a great wedding. Go for it, you won't regret it, I just wish I could do it all all over again xxx

It's only 5 months to our wedding in the Algarve and all I have to say is... Paula & her team from Algarve Wedding Planners have been nothing but AMAZING!! We met Paula in Albuferia on a holiday over 2 years ago and booking our wedding with her was the best decision we could have made! Her professionalism, honesty and her loving personality have made our planning experience one to remember! Since booking our wedding we have met Paula and her team at least 4 times (twice in Portugal and twice in Ireland)which has been a great experience every time as you get to tell Paula your 'worries or concerns or any new great ideas you have'! Believe me after 30 minutes with Paula all your questions are answered and all your worries have been solved and you can go off and have a lovely glass of bubbly!!!Nothing is a problem to the AWP team,I can't count the number of emails I have sent..and get a reply the same day (normally the same hour) which is fab especially when you are having a random panic attack about nothing really!! For any Brides & Grooms deliberating on the perfect location and the perfect wedding planner then the beautiful Algarve & Algarve wedding planners are all you need! We are soooo excited about our big day and we know it will be everything we have dreamed off!x

Look no further than AWP for weddings abroad.
David and I were at logger heads about our wedding. It was a case of Italy V Portugal. We had been at a wedding in Italy it was fab but we both loved Algave for holiday. After meeting with Paula and Karina, Portugal was a done deal. These girls go above and beyond the call of duty. Nothing is too much trouble. They spent so much time with us and Paula knew after the first day the venue which she felt David and I would fall in love with. It was Vila Vita. Perfection. From Start to Finish the day was magical. Girls the team you have choosen to work with are excellent. Joao the photographer and of Course Orlando we love our video(you were right am so glad we choose to have one now. I have never seen anything like it. Helena and Diana and Vila vita team, it was a fairytale reception. It's like fantasy Island. Double cocktail were fantastic party band. David you are a true talent. Our family and friends are still talking about the wedding six months later. Some have said it was the best wedding they have been at and they never wittnesed anything like it. Girls with the service you offer it is truely value for money in these recessionary time.
With the packages that the girls have with their team and suppliers, Algave is a winner all round. Many thanks for everything and if there is any way we can return the compliment in the future please let us know xxxx

We had such a fantastic time at out wedding all thanks to Algarve Wedding Planners - I would normally worry about little things in life but I did not get one bit worried or stresed on my wedding day thanks to Paula and all the team. AWP were recommended to me by friends of mine who married in the Algarve so i immediately asked who their wedding planner was after we thoroughly enjoyed their wedding and they told us all about Paula and Algarve Wedding planners. We just had 7 months to plan after a short engagement but nothing was a problem to Paula. We went out to see the venue and band a few months prior and were not disappointed. We choice the Grande Santa Eulalia and the band Twin Flames - we made the right choices. All our guests were stunned by the hotel and are still talking about the band - I never left the dance floor til the band finished and that's no exaggeration! They are excellent, so lively. The hotel were fantastic, so accommodating. We did our civil side of thing there also but I think it was worth the extra cost. AWP organised a solicitor who sorted all the paperwork for us. hair and make up were unbelieveable - MAC make up and hairdresser was excellent - and so friendly. The photographer and videographer were also so nice, friendly and excellent at their work - we got to see previews at the reception! I would 100% recommend Algarve Wedding Planners for a wedding in the Algarve if you want a stress free day as you deserve x

Well, what can i say about Paula and the team at Algarve Wedding Planners? They are fantastic. Two words - TRUST PAULA. She knows what she is doing and will do the most amazing job for you. I keep looking at our photos and cant believe that it was our wedding. It was a fairytale. Someone said to us at the wedding that they didnt think you could get better than perfect but that our wedding was. It was all down to the team at algarve wedding planners. David learned an obscure song for us and sang it like the original singer was there. Stefanie has an amazing knack at making sure the dancefloor is always full. The lads (photo/video) Jaoa and Orlando are so easy going and calming to have around you especially on the morning of the wedding they are fantastic. It's going to be hard to choose 100 photos for the album. I actually printed them all from the CD Jaoa sent us so i could choose from them. I love them! I cannot fault one little thing about the whole run up to the wedding and the day of the wedding. Paula had everything organised and was so calming. It was wonderful - i'd love to do it all again! I already have recommended 2 couples that are getting married there next year and who are also delighted with Paula. Good luck Paula, Karina, David, Stefanie, Jaoa, Orlando and everyone else involved in making dreams come true. xx

To all the brides and grooms interested in getting married abroad, look no further! You will have the wedding of your dreams when you leave your plans in the hands of these wonderful professionalS. Got married in May 2010 . we had the lovely Paula and Karina as our planners , the excellent Double Cocktail as our church music and band, the talanted photographer Joao and our reception was held in the beautiful villa vita parc. It was an amazing day, stress free planning and cannot recommend them highly enough as your wedding planners.
To Stephanie @ David, Joao and team, Karina and to the adorable Paula, THANK YOU. XXX

Paula my dear friend what can I say, It was truly the best day of our lives and its all down to you. From the word go you were an absolute pleasure to work with, nothing and I mean nothing was a problem for this girl she really is super woman. Everytime I emailed you or rang you with silly little things that I was panicking about you ALWAYS replied or spoke to me like it was the most important question and that I wasn't being silly. I always got off the phone feeling so much better even when I just rang you for a chat. hahahaha
Thanks for organising our day with such care, attention and love. I will never for get it how could I it was breath taking.! See you soon!
For any new brides reading this..... girls book ALGARVE WEDDING PLANNERS they are amazing at their jobs and you can tell that they love doing their jobs thats what makes them so good at it.

A massive thanks to Paula & Karine for making our day the best we've ever had. From the moment we met Paula and Double Cocktail something clicked and we knew we wanted to then get married in the Algarve. The whole day was utterly fabulous and not a thing went wrong, it was beautiful, fun, intimate, everything we had wanted with extra special touches which were a lovely surprise. 1 week later and all my family and friends are still talking about how it was the best wedding they had ever been to- from the chapel music by Dave and Stef (Double Cocktail)to the food, setting, weather, and Double Cocktail in the evening. We wish we could go back and do it all again! and if we could, we would not change one single thing. Thanks to Algarve Wedding planners, Double Cocktail, the venue, make-up, hair and photographer Jaoa. We would highly recommend you to anyone who likes the idea of getting married on the beautiful Algarve. And as bonus we have now a lovely friendship :) Lots of Love, the happpy couple

Paula we can not thank you enough for making our day so special and would recommend you to any couple planning to get married in the Algarve. we had the best day of our lives. Thanks again

What can i say ? The most beautiful day of my life, thanks to you ... Paula & Karina are the perfect persons in the perfect place. Words are missing to describe the amazing wedding you offer us, "algarveweddingplanners" or how to make a dream come true... Please forget about anyone else you heard about, these two girls will take you to heaven. We're proud of our mariage and if i had to do it again, I would make it just the same way. We love...

Thank you so much for everything that you helped us with in arranging the most wonderful wedding day. You are both such lovely ladies to work with. Lots of Love

Dear Paula and Karina (forever in our hearts as Franck and Franckette)
Where do I start? THANK-YOU!
What a day! It is impossible to put into words how dear you are to us for all you have done! Please would you pass on our thanks to all those concerned that we never met - flowers (beautiful bouquets), cake, decorations and also the soloist - wow what a voice! Not a dry eye in the church! When I drew up (albeit rather late) at the church I just had time to see the flowers around the arch and on the pews - beautiful.
With much love and thanks. (Wish I could stop crying!!)

Hope you are keeping well. We just arrived back from our honeymoon last week. We had a ball. I really want to thank you for an amazing week in Portugal and an absolutely beautiful wedding. We couldn't have done it without you and thank you and Karina so much for all your help. The whole day was amazing and really exceeded all our expectations.

I would just like to thank you both again for such a fantastic wedding, everyone thought it was amazing so we are really pleased, thanks for all your hard work, hope you enjoy your well deserved break, we loved Carvoeiro and have been in Alvor for the past week and we must return to Ireland tomorrow so thanks again for everything we will definately be back soon.

Paula,
You are amazing we can't thank you enough.
We just hope you and Karina always will be our friends.
Thank you for every thing from the very bottom of our hearts.
