Algarve Wedding Planners

We just wanted to say thank you so much for an amazing day. It went as well as we could ever have imagined and you guys really went above and beyond to make it all work and come together.

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

The wedding planner team is fantastic. I would highly recommend them. They went out of their way to make sure we had the most magical day possible. Paula and her team are very professional and really know what they are doing. We loved them very much, they were all fabulous :)

Some other feedback: some of our experiences with suppliers were not great I would urge the planners to have a discussion with suppliers around their expectations for couples. Associations with a supplier who does not deliver what they promised can impact your business.

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!

We loved our wedding planner Sandra. I am a control freak though and would have liked more help with the planning of the transport to and from the wedding venue. We felt that we had to organise it, and with not knowing the area this ended up being a bit of a disaster. Everything else was perfect though.

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????????????

In the end our day was perfect but there were some very scary moments in the lead up! We would definitely recommend the wedding planners but you have to get in to a Portugese mentality of the way they deal with issues that you need an immediate response to. Our venue was Lake Resort Vilamoura which was perfect setting, excellent staff and the wedding planner on the day was very professional.

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

These guys are just amazing! They absolutely created our dream wedding with guests commenting that it was the best wedding they had ever attended. Our aim was an intimate relaxed and chilled out day with lovely food, beautiful surroundings and stunning decor with some good music later on. What we got exceeded our expectations and the day was coordinated perfectly. Everything from the hair, makeup, amazing photographers, the florists stunning displays, the wedding planners themselves, the fantastic food, the best cake I have ever tasted and then later the superb sax player Mr SaxC ( we loved him ) and Dj just made our day perfect. We could not recommend this team more they 110 percent know what they are doing and gave excellent advise and support thought our planning thanks to you all xxx

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!!

Algarve Wedding Planners were a pleasure to deal with. They listened to what we were looking for and they were able to deliver different options from which we were able to chose. They were extremely helpful throughout the wedding planning process and would go above and beyond to make our day the perfect day.

Even though they are based in Portugal, it is great that they visit Ireland several times a year so you would be able to meet them in person in Ireland rather than having to go to Portugal. Also the wedding fair they host in January is extremely helpful as they bring several of their suppliers to Ireland so that you are able to meet them and discuss all aspects of your wedding and any queries you might have.

Overall, I would recommend Algarve Wedding Planners to anyone who is thinking of getting married in Portugal. They were an absolute pleasure to deal with and made our special day an unforgettable day.

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!

I never thoroughly thanked these girls for making my wedding a dream. Having you was the best decision I made, you made it so easy and stress free through all the planning and throughout the day itself. I can not thank or recommend you enough, you truly are the best in the business x

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

I could not speak highly enough of Algarve wedding Planners. They went above and beyond what I expected from a wedding planner. Everyone at our wedding commented on how relaxed we both were and I think this was down to the fact that I completely trusted Valerie! Without a doubt the best decision we made to use AWP.

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.

Paula and her team went out of their way to help us find our perfect venue and the suppliers they use are AMAZING! They took all the stress out of our wedding planning and the day itself and couldn't do enough for us or our guests.
Would definitely recommend them to anyone!!

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