Glamour Algarve Weddings

We cannot thank Carin, Patricia and their team enough for helping us organise our wedding, we could not have done it without their help, guidance and support! Attention to detail, responsiveness was second to none. Nothing was ever too much trouble and even rescheduling our wedding due to the covid pandemic was made so easy with Carin’s help. Our families and friends were blown away by out wedding day and I would absolutely recommend the girls to anyone who asks

From the moment we first spoke to Carin we have nothing but brilliant things to say about her! We could not have had the wedding we had without her help and expertise and will be forever grateful! In the year and months coming up to our wedding Carin was so responsive and helpful in all of her emails and correspondence. She answered all of our questions, but was also very helpful in giving us suggestions, and practical tips for the wedding that we would not have thought of. She was so genuine and interested in all of her interactions with us and always made us feel special and excited for our wedding. We got married in Vila Alba and both Carin and Patricia made our day so seamless and the whole day felt like a dream as they were so organized, attentive and professional in everything they did. We enjoyed our day so much and never felt stressed or anxious as Carin was so organized and available for anything that came up. If you are looking for a planner, glamor weddings are the best you will get. We cannot recommend them enough!

We were very lucky to have Carin from Glamour Weddings Algarve as our wedding planner. I happened to find them online when searching online and made contact. Me, my husband and some of our family arranged a holiday with the purpose of meeting Carin and she took us around to potential venues in 2018. We fell in love with our venues and Carin was so helpful and her attention to detail was amazing. Carin kept in touch via email or whatsapp and would answer all my questions in a timely manner. We arranged to go out to albufeira in 2019 for food tasting and more wedding planning. Carin picked us up and took us to where we needed to go and hepled us at each step. Whilst there we wanted tk do a pottery class and she suggested the perfect place, this wasnt even part of the wedding and yet she went the extra mile location and recommending a good place. Due to the pandemic we had to postpone our wedding three times finally getting married on the third date we set! Each time her communication with us was brilliant, we would update each other on each others countries restrictions and look at our options. This could of been a really stressful time for us but it wasnt, Carin was full of reassurance our day would eventually happen and kept us positive. When we arrived for our wedding we met to finalise details a few days before and Carin provided an order of the day for clarity. Carin was in touch with each of the suppliers and worked amazingly well for us and with them. Our wedding day went by without any issues, she was on the ball with everything and organising us and guests between two venues. It was the best day of our lives and Glamour weddings Carin made it that way. Our guests were speechless at the venues, decorations, food. Couldnt of asked for anything more if we are honest. Would highly recommend them. Definitely worth the wait.

I would thoroughly recommend Glamour Algarve Weddings! Patricia was amazingly supportive from day 1, showing my parents around the venues, right through two postponements thanks to covid and coordinated the most special day for us. Patricia and Carin were amazing on the day and we didn’t have to worry about a thing - everything appeared effortless. Patricia was very responsive to my endless questions and indecision and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone getting married in the algarve.

I can’t even begin to thank our wonderful wedding planner Carin enough. Always on hand to answer all queries and sorted every last detail. I certainly did not know where to start at the beginning but Carin looked after everything keeping us on track during the planning and they day ran so smoothly it was unreal. I would highly recommended the services

Carin was a dream to work with. She genuinely left no stone unturned and was fantastic in the lead up and on the day of the wedding. She was so organised, trustworthy, approachable and she has amazing attention to detail. I could not recommend Glamour Weddings enough.

OMG what can I say..We cannot thank Patricia and Carin enough for all their efforts in giving us the most magical day. On the very first day we met with Crain, we spoke about the kind of wedding we were hoping for and from that moment on, Carin and Patricia knew exactly how to bring our dream wedding to a reality. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and we always had response to any questions straight away. One of the main things we really appreciated during the whole process was being guided through everything. The whole team were amazing at letting us know when we should be doing what from a timing point of view and can't begin to imagine how we would have got through the legal paperwork without the guidance from the legal team also. Our day really was perfect, and Carin and Patricia were both by our sides throughout the whole day...nothing was ever too much and we can't thank you both enough. We should have been married in August 2020, but due to covid had to roll the wedding twice. Carin and Patricia were amazing at ensuring all suppliers and venues were all rolled accordingly and kept us in the loop at all times The comfort we had through Glamour Algarve Weddings was amazing

We would like to to say a huge thank you to Patricia for planning the most amazing stress free wedding day for us. Since the first email to Glamour Algarve Weddings in August 2021 Patricia has been amazing right through to our wedding in July this year her response time to every email was phenomenal. We met Patricia and Carin in October and they are both beautiful,warm down to earth ladies, they made us feel so comfortable. We cannot recommend them enough as wedding planners. Alot of past brides have said to me enjoy it because it goes so quick and I can honestly say I enjoyed every minute of my wedding day because there was absolutely nothing for us to stress over or worry about. The day was planned to perfection and with Carin's assistance on the day we cannot fault a thing. Our family and guests are still talking about the day and the attention to detail they say was just fabulous, that makes me so happy. I would really do it all again. They are fantastic wedding planners at Glamour Algarve Weddings and thank you again with all our hearts Patricia for a truly magical day.

It’s hard to know where to begin with writing this review and it’s hard to distill and summarize all the wonderful things there is to say about Patricia - our wedding planner at Glamour Algarve Weddings. Planning a wedding is overwhelming. Planning a destination wedding, in a country you’ve never visited before, can amplify that feeling tenfold. With this in mind, we realized quickly that we would need help navigating the planning process for the big day and so we set out on our search to find a wedding planner. At this point we hadn’t picked a destination but had narrowed our list down to Croatia, Hungary and Portugal. We started going through Google, Instagram, Facebook and many other platforms to reach out to planners across these countries for a summer 2022 wedding but, with the backlog of weddings that were in the cue from COVID, a lot of the responses we got were less than stellar. Some planners responded, some didn’t, some had a strong social media presence but on our zoom calls they didn’t come across social at all. It did, at times, feel deflating to keep coming across companies that were very business oriented and cold, or others where it was made us feel that without a large budget our wedding wouldn’t be a priority. Then, by some stroke of luck we came across Glamour Algarve Weddings and received an email with a time and date to have a videochat on WhatsApp. On that first meeting with Patricia, her kindness, her grace, her sweetness just came bursting off the screen. She had her camera set up and we realized that she had stayed up late due to the time difference just so she can meet us. Everything with her just clicked. After that call ended, my (now) wife and I looked at each other knowingly and confidently crossed off Croatia and Hungary off the list. We were going to get married in Portugal. We were going to have no one else but Patricia. During the months that ensued, our calls with her became something we looked forward to. She responded to all of our questions, outlined all the options we could ever want and more importantly she was always transparent. She guided us through the entire experience and we always felt confident in the choices we were making. We picked the venue, the menu, the vendors and everything in between from the other side of the world and never second guessed any of the choices because we could feel that we were in good hands. Patricia made the whole planning process so smooth for us, to the point where we kept thinking “why do people think wedding planning is hard?”. We then realized that it’s not that wedding planning is easy, but more so that she bore the weight of it all for us all the while making every decision and every interaction enjoyable. It truly speaks volumes about how she is a master at her craft. Needless to say, the wedding was everything we could have asked for. It’s hard not to sound cliche, but it was truly an enchanting experience and so much, if not all of it, is a direct result of Patricia. The only sad moment we had at the wedding was when it dawned us on that after that night we would no longer have our back and forth interactions with Patricia. The wedding would be over and there would be no more texts, no emails and no more early FaceTime calls where Patricia would see us with crazy bed-head hair and greet us with her warm “bom Dia!” (Good Morning!) If you’re reading this review, I hope I was able to convey how great our experience was with Glamour Algarve Weddings. There are lots of decisions to make for your wedding, but for us, choosing them was the easiest one. Patricia - if you happen to read this, know that we are waiting for the day you decide to visit Vancouver, Canada so we can tour you around repay you with the same kindness you showed us. Obrigado! Abtin and Alex

We can't recommend these wedding planners enough! Despite having to postpone our wedding due to Covid Patricia made the whole organization seem effortless and easy. She went above and beyond to help us with our special requests and wishes. Emails were responded to instantly and she had no problem answering our many questions and requests in the weeks leading up to the wedding. What really helped us planning our wedding from abroad is that we could fully trust Patricia and her team to help us find the best venue and local service providers. You can tell that planning weddings is their passion and they approach their work with a lot of warmth and heart, trying to get to know the couple and paying attention to the smallest details. Thanks to all their hard work our wedding weekend completely exceeded our expectations!

What can we say but these lady's where amazing from start to finish, 1000s of emails they had to put with from us as our wedding had to be postponed twice due to covid and they replied straight away putting us at ease through the whole process of moving suppliers each time. Their attention to detail is incredible .Carin and Patricia are true professionals and our day wouldn't of been possible without them. So friendly and made sure all our guests where OK throughout the whole day. 5 stars ????

We are just home from our perfect wedding day on the 17th June and we had the best experience with Glamour Algarve Weddings ! Patricia & her team excelled and I couldn’t imagine having our day without them there to ensure it all went smooth! We spoke to a few planners when we first got engaged in September 2020 and Patricia was definitely the right choice for us! Every email was responded to quickly and I really sent a lot of them! I would 100% recommend Glamour to anyone looking to get married in the Algarve - these ladies won’t let you down. I really wish we could plan another wedding with them - it was all a dream come true! Sharon & Andy

To Carin & Patricia, Where do we start?! Thanks SO much for the past 2 years and everything you’ve both done to make our day so wonderful. It was exactly what we dreamed of and we just wish we could do it over an over again! The service you & the venue provided on the day was beyond what we expected. So many of our guests have said just how accommodating the staff and wedding planners were so thank you again for this. I will be sad to not have you in my inbox every week making decisions and discussing wedding things! To anyone getting married in the algarve you NEED Glamour weddings as your planners. No question or request is too big, Carin & Patricia will go above and beyond to make sure your big day is exactly as you dreamed. Thank you again, Mr & Mrs Rosario xx

From the moment I spoke to Glamour I knew they were the wedding planners for me. Planning a wedding abroad was always a little worrying but I felt immediately at ease. Their background in experience really showed through all our communications and arrangements. Due to covid our wedding was delayed but they did everything they could to help and dealing with the suppliers directly took a huge stress away from what was already a difficult situation. Nothing was ever too much trouble even with the constant emails back and forth, they were always so caring and polite. On the lead up to the wedding, they were organised and made sure every detail was correct with everyone involved and on the day, it was perfect. I honestly can say, having Glamour there supporting was the best decision I made in the whole wedding planning process. It made our day so seamless and stress free, it was amazing in every way and it’s only until after you realise and appreciate how much effort and work they do for you to make it run smoothly. I couldn’t have asked for a better service and 100% recommend Glamour to any couple getting married.

What a great team, what a great day!!! Carine and Patricia from the moment we met, we knew they were the perfect weddings planners for us. We felt immediately at ease. They were so kind and lovely, it felt like we knew each other for years. The communications and arrangements worked great and we had a lot of contact. Nothing was ever too much trouble even with the constant emails back and forth. Most of the time we had contact with Carine, she was amazing and so polite in her mails! On the lead up to the wedding, it was all organised, every detail was correct with everyone involved. It was the most beautifulI day of our lives. Having Glamourweddings was the best decision we made. We couldn’t have asked for a better service. We recommend every couple who wants to get married in the Algarve and outside the Algarve to take Glamour weddings. Carine and Patricia! Thank you for everything . Thank you and thank Palmares for the great location and excellent Service! We really missing you guys and the Algarve!!!!

We felt so lucky to work with Carin and Patricia. Since our first email we knew, we want to work with them. The communication with them was easy and very fast, they understood our expectations and they always tried to find the best solution for us. We had been waiting on our wedding more than 2.5years, we changed our wedding date 4 times due to Covid and Carin and Patricia were so helpful and supportive during this period. We could not imagine not to have them. Finally, we had our perfect wedding also because of them, it was definitely worth to wait. We would not be able to have such a wonderful day without them. Our guests were full of superlatives about our wedding. We cannot say thanks enough. We will recommend Glamour Algarve Weddings to all our friends without any doubts. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything, Carin and Patricia, you made our day so special and we will always be thankful. xxx

When we decided to get married in Portugal we reached out to a number of wedding planners but Glamour Algarve Weddings stood out miles above the rest. We knew from the first email we received back that they were the right fit for us. They were so warm, kind, friendly and professional and they wanted to get to know us as a couple before even discussing any logistics. From the minute we met Carin and Patricia we became friends for life. They truly care about their couples and strive to get the best suppliers and people in place to make your wedding day the best day of your lives! No request is too much trouble. They were the most amazing support system when we had to reschedule our wedding date twice. Third time lucky we finally had our wedding day in April 2022 and we haven’t stopped smiling since. Everything was perfect, we had the best day and have made memories for a lifetime. It was worth the wait and we were thrilled to have the best team with us every step of the way.

Planning our wedding with Patricia and Glamour Weddings has been an amazing experience. We began our planning in summer of 2020 and reached out to Patricia at this time. From our first message to Glamour right up until our wedding day in Aprol 2022, the planning process was an enjoyable and relaxing one. Patricia helped us to plan our dream wedding with our dream venue and did so with ease. Every moment of our wedding day flowed perfectly and exceeded our hope's and expectations! We cannot thank Glamour Weddings enough for the time, effort and care that went in to our wedding!

We can't recommend Patricia and the Glamour Wedding Algarve Team enough. We began planning our wedding in 2021 during Covid and from the moment we got in touch with Patricia she was a dream to work with from her quick replies, recommendations and attention to detail. As we were planning from Ireland and due to Covid we never actually got to view the venue, suppliers, food tastings or trials until we arrived in Portugal for our wedding and couldn't fault anything at all. The day was completely stress free and everything ran so smoothly, it was a dream! We had the best day, thank you! Ciara & Mark

I really don’t know what we would have done without our lovely wedding planner. From recommending reliable suppliers, legal representatives, working through the pandemic and ensuring our day when seamlessly. We had the best day ever and they were with us every step of the way. We would highly recommend to anyone looking to get married in Portugal.

Carin from Glamour Algarve Weddings is an amazing talented professional and our wedding day would not have been possible without her services. She made the planning of our wedding stress free and enjoyable. Having postponed our wedding 3 times there was no issue or problem that could not be solved and she was always there if we needed her simply amazing. From every vendor she recommended to every small detail, everything was so perfect.The day of the wedding Carin & Patricia were amazing making sure everything was perfect. We cannot recommend Glamour Algarve Weddings enough for making our Wedding day so special and will be forever grateful to them and highly recommend them to any couple. Carin thank you so so much. Linda & Kieran

We planned our wedding from the United States during a pandemic and couldn’t have done it without Carin at Glamour weddings. With the stress of opened borders and possible cancellations, Carin seamlessly and flawlessly helped us plan our perfect wedding. She was always available and so responsive, especially being on different continents and in different time zones. She went above and beyond and helped with scheduling covid tests for our guests. They not only helped us plan our elegant ceremony at Palacio de Estoi, and the best party reception at Quinta Dos Vales (many of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to) but she helped us get in touch with the best vendors in the area for time in between for our guests to enjoy. She got us in touch with the most amazing boat trip for all of our guests, that they are still talking about today. We cannot thank them enough for all they did for us, and all of the amazing memories we can take with us.

From beginning to end and during a pandemic when dates and suppliers were ever changing Carin and Patricia were nothing but professional every time. We had the time of our lives in the Algarve it was amazing from start to finish all thanks to the girls at Glamour Algarve Weddings x

Wow - what can we say, working with Patricia to plan our wedding was a dream. From when we first spoke with Patricia, we knew she was the perfect planner for us. Patricia is so friendly and approachable and put us at ease from the start. She is so knowledgeable about weddings in the Algarve and all of her suggestions and recommendations were perfect. Patricia was able to turn all of our thoughts and ideas into reality and we had a perfect day. Unfortunately due to covid-19, we were unable to get over to Portugal until just two months before our wedding, meaning almost all of the planning was done remotely. Whilst this could have been a stressful time, Patricia was always available for video calls and emails meaning that despite not getting over to Portugal as often as we hoped, we still felt calm and comfortable that our vision for the wedding would be achieved. Our wedding was an absolute dream and better than we could have ever wished for. Everything was perfect and Patricia and Carin were both amazing on the day at making sure everything was as it should be. We cannot express how grateful we are to Patricia and Carin for ensuring we had our dream wedding and we cannot recommend Glamour Algarve Weddings enough!

We want to express our gratitude to Patricia and Carin for planning the most lovely wedding day for us! We had the pleasure of working with them for two years while organising our wedding, and we had to make numerous alterations to our original plan. Patricia and Carin were always there to help us solve any issues that arose during the planning process. They are very organised and efficient, and we felt like we were in really good hands the whole time.  They found us the best suppliers, gave us excellent advise, and ensured that our big day went perfectly. We couldn't be happier and we enthusiastically recommend Glamour Algarve Weddings to all couples!

We honestly can't thank Carin and Glamour Weddings enough for the help and support with our wedding. Although it took us a year longer than we would have expected when we started due the pandemic, their help and assistance throughout kept us calm and for that we can't thank them enough. Every vendor and venue they recommended to us were superb - we've had so many people comment as to how nice the food at the venue was and the views at both Lady of the Rock and the Vineyard were breathtaking - would 1000% recommend. Both Patricia and Carin's support on what i believe was the hottest day of the year, was amazing. They were there when we needed you but like all vendors, blended in with our guests and delivered immaculate service. If you are thinking about a destination wedding in the Algarve, your first email should be to Glamour Weddings!

Patricia and Carin are AMAZING!!! Our wedding day was the best day of my life, in large part due to this amazing duo. As a covid-bride we had to postpone our date from Oct 2020 to July 2021 and Patricia made everything seamless. I am based in the United Stated and we did everything over email; I had visited the venue in 2019 which is how we decided on it, but everything else Patricia handled with me over email until we arrived the week of our wedding! We had been planning my wedding for over 2 years (bc of Covid), and Patricia is so detail oriented, attentive, responsive, and such a pleasure to work with. She knows incredible vendors and partners and had great recommendations to make based on pictures I'd show her or ideas I'd describe. You can tell they have a lot of experience in the Algarve which was an incredible benefit. The day of my wedding, this team went above and beyond in coordinating every detail and making sure everything ran SO smoothly. I could not be happier. These ladies put so much care and thought into their clients and are incredible at what they do!!

We have just got back to the UK following our wedding and a lovely two week holiday in Portugal. Carin and Patricia planned the intimate cermony for the two of us and it was completely perfect. We first met them both back in 2019, when we went to view a number of venues and immediately hit it off. Having had to change the wedding date due to covid19 and then venue, due to the restrictions - it definately wasn't a straight forward lead up to the big day. However Carin and the Glamour team were totally amazing throughout the whole process, remaining positive and jumping through all of the hoops to make our vision a reality. Carin is a true professional and was always on top of her game, responding to emails quickly, available on whatsapp and video call whenever we needed her. I loved how Carin would recommend different suppliers but give us a variety to pick from - for example she would share 5 different photogphers with a good reputation and we could just pick the one we liked best from the list. It saved us so much time scrolling the web and made the process really simple. The spreadsheets of costs, deposits paid and oustanding payments leading up to the day was also really organised and easy to follow. The whole experience working with Glamour Algarve Weddings was delightful and i 10/10 would recommend.

In May 2021 was our beautiful wedding. Because of the Covid-Situation it was not clear if the wedding takes place or not. When the decision was clear that the wedding takes place we had to decide a lot of things very spontaneously. In a Short time Patricia organized everything. We had no stress from the beginning to the end. All in all, everything was a perfect Organisation. We are so grateful, thank you lovely girls from glamour Algarve wedding thank you so much for Organizing our best day ever.

I can not recommend Patricia enough, if it wasn’t for her we would not of got married this year in difficult times. Originally we spoke to a couple of wedding planners but straight away when we spoke to Patricia we felt she truly cared was friendly and warm and really listened and understood what we wanted from our special day. We originally was supposed to get married in May 2020 but in March made the decision to postpone to October 2020 naively thinking everything would be ok by then. There was obviously still a lot of restrictions however because of Patricia we never lost faith that we would have our perfect day and that it was. She recommended a new venue which was outdoors, that we had never visited before but we trusted Patricias advice and was not disappointed I actually think it was a better venue than originally planned for what we wanted. Sometimes things happen for a reason. All recommendations were five star to the make up artist and hair to the choice of foods champagne etc. Everyone asked if it was stressful planning the wedding under the current situation, obviously there was stresses with the airbridge being taken away and guest list changing but nothing was ever a problem and Patricia always helped take that stress away. So I would 100% recommend using glamour Algarve weddings and getting married in Portugal as we could forget about the stresses at home and all guests felt completely safe and relaxed. We felt very sad saying goodbye to Patricia because we felt she became a true friend and hope to keep in touch especially as my husband wants to move out to Portugal ASAP!

Carin from Glamour weddings really did make our dreams come true !. Carin ended up planning two weddings for us as the original one was cancelled due to Covid and we literally could not have done it without her . When we decided to get married in the Algarve we spoke to quite a few wedding planners but they all wanted us to pick from a packaged wedding which would have been exactly like all the others but Carin was different. She must have sent us 100's of different ideas and even visited the venues with us before we decided on Caldas Monchique. I have lost count of the amount of times Carin had to re quote things for us because we kept changing our minds but she always did it quickly and efficiently. At one point I think i spoke to Carin more than my whole family ! Our wedding was supposed to be in May 2020 and around March time we made the decision to move it to September due to Covid 19. Carin couldn’t have made a stressful period any easier , all our bookings were moved effortlessly ( although it probably didn’t feel like that for Carin !). Our guest list changed from 50 to 26 and we couldn’t even confirm numbers until a few days before due to the airbridge situation!. The wedding itself was magical and everybody really forgot about the external covid issues because the Algarve is so safe. I would recommend anyone with an Algarve wedding to go ahead because to us it didn’t feel any different than it normally would. Everything felt so safe and at the time there were no restrictions on guests’ numbers or movements. Everyone always asked us if it was difficult planning a wedding abroad and the answer is no when Carin is involved. This was by far the best investment from my wedding. Carin is phenomenal!!! She is incredibly organized, flexible, creative, and a wonderful person. She introduced me to amazing vendors, organized visits, attended every vendor meeting, and above all ran everything perfectly the day of. I cannot tell you how thankful I am for Glamour weddings. On our wedding day, I knew I had absolutely nothing to stress about because Carin and Patricia were on it. Every little detail, every step of the way. I couldn't have asked for a better planner, and am so grateful that we picked glamour weddings to help us throughout our wedding planning. If you have a wedding planned in the Algarve for next year I would strongly recommend you go ahead because Carin will sort out any issues that arise !. We LOVE glamour weddings and thank you again from the bottom of our hearts xxxxx

We had our beautiful wedding on the 31st August in the Algarve. Carin had been helping us to plan since the end of 2019 and she was so patient with us (we had changed our minds about dates, the venue and the size of the guest list!) She was extremely helpful from the very start and gave us just what we wanted - a stress free Wedding! Everything was taken care of with our suppliers by Carin and we had nothing to worry about, we just had to make sure we showed up on the day. The church, flowers, photographer, hair & make up team, music, wedding car and the venue that she helped us to pick were all fabulous. We just can't recommend these lovely ladies enough, they are fantastic!

Patricia was wonderful very professional. Every detail of what we wanted for our wedding was taken care of in a friendly professional way. highly recommend. Our wedding was perfect and it was thanks to Patricia and Carin.

To date Glamour Algarve Weddings have been fantastic to deal with at the initial stages of planning! Taking all the stress out of planning our wedding, they provided us with options for hair, make up, photography etc. Really looking forward to working with Carin and Patricia in the run up to our wedding.

We got married on October 12th, 2019 at the Monte Amarelo in Olhão. We couldn't have had such a beautiful wedding without the help from Carin, Patricia and their team! They adapted everything to our wishes and the communication went very smoothly, almost all via e-mail because we could only visit them once before our actual wedding. Carin was ultra-reachable and I am eternally grateful for the wonderful, perfect wedding she made possible! We experienced no stress at all regarding the organisation because Carin did such an excellent job! I would recommend no one else but Carin & Patricia for a beautiful and stress-free wedding in the Algarve. Thank you again for everything!!

We got married on Oct 1st 2019. We had Ceremony on Lady of the Rock which was amazing and our reception in Vidamar. We were looking for wedding planners online and found Glamour Algarve Weddings and are so glad we did. We flew out to meet Carin last October and from the minute we met her we knew herself and Patricia were the planners we were going for. Carin took time to drive us to a few different venues and the advice she gave us was excellent it showed us how professional she was and any questions we had she answered without hesitation she has priceless knowledge and experience of Algarve Weddings and everything that goes with it. She Is so organised and our special day ran so smoothly without hi cup. Nothing is a problem for Carin And Patricia and they couldn't have been any more helpful if there was a Ten Star option to review we would give ten stars. We went with the Vidamar Resort and what a Venue from start to finish it was an amazing day and we would highly recommend this venue Carin And Patricia were there all day to ensure everything ran smoothly. Carin And Patricia are the Primary reason we chose the Algarve in the end as we had looked at other places All the venues they showed us were amazing but we chose Vidamar and so glad we did. Their Professionalism and attention to detail are second to none they are so friendly and nothing is a problem for them. Any time we called or emailed Carin was straight back on to answer questions. Even at the last minute we had a few last requests and this was not a problem. Please if you are looking to get married in The Algarve look no further. Carin And Patricia Glamour weddings really went above and beyond to make our special day. Such a great experience i cant stress that enough. Thank you so much Carin And Patricia we wish you both continued success in the future you deserve it. P.S If your Looking for Music look up The Piano Man He Also Made our Day / Night had everyone up dancing all night :-) All The Best Graham And Elaine Kelly

We cannot thank Patricia and Carin enough. We had a the most amazing day, far exceeding our expectations and it is all down to the hard work of these two ladies. We highly recommend them if you are thinking of a wedding in the Algarve. Patricia was our planner and from day one she was there to assist. We felt like we were dealing with a friend rather than a wedding planner. From emailing us information, answering our questions, showing us the venues, accompanying us on the tasting, recommending and dealing with all of the suppliers and of course her presence and assistance on the big day, we will be forever grateful. It actually rained on our wedding day (something we did not expect) but because of last minute changes and reorganizing by Patricia and Carin we can honestly say the weather did not affect our special day. Warm friendly ladies, great taste and so much experience. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them. Keira & Philip

Carin was our fabulous wedding planner... I honestly cannot praise her enough. She was everything we needed and more.. when first starting to plan our wedding (from Ireland) we initially thought could we try and organize it ourselves... but thank god we met Carin and went with glamour weddings. There is no way possible we could have done what she done!! A planner is a must.... In my opinion it was the best money we spent because our day wouldn’t have been the day it was without her. She made everything we wanted happen without fault. Everything on the day ran so smoothly and I wouldn’t change one thing about it. Even the following day family and guests had told me how impressed they were with her and how helpful she was to everyone. So Carin, from the bottom of my heart thankyou so so much for every last thing you done for us. Simone & Paul

Patricia was an integral part to making our dream wedding in Portugal a huge success. We worked with her for 18 months leading up to our wedding in Portugal this year and she was the biggest reason why our wedding was so perfect. She took time to really understand our vision and worked with suppliers to make our day exactly what we envisioned. We have both traveled extensively (over 75 countries) and can honestly say that this destination wedding was the most elaborately planned event that we/our guests ever attended. We had guests fly in from all over the world and every single person talked with us about how this was the best wedding they had been to and this was because we hired Patricia. Neither of us had been to Portugal or the Algarve before our wedding (and don’t speak Portuguese), we truly could not have done this without her. She was kind, resourceful, and a true advocate of our wishes with vendors. Thank you for everything Patricia, we will never forget the role you had in our wedding! Love, Allie and Sarah

We had the most beautiful day I could only have dreamed of, this was all down to Glamour Algarve Weddings, Thank you so much. From the moment I contacted them via email nothing was ever a problem. Patricia was my go to for any questions I had and she would reply to my emails instantly every time. I planned my wedding within 7months from the UK and I am forever grateful for everything Patricia done for us, as this wouldn't of been possible without her. Once again thank you both for everything and giving us our perfect day! All our Love Mr & Mrs Jones xxxxxxx

All I can say is very good things about Patricia and Karen when it comes to professional these are the best our wedding was on the 29th of August 2019 and it was absolutely fantastic down to the finest detail we are so happy with how it went we a bit sad we couldn't do it all over again Patricia and Karen are the only too people you need when getting married in the algarve,,,

Carin was our wedding planner in the algarve Portugal. Myself and my husband could not have achieved the magic wedding we had without her help & expertise. From day 1, the level of communication and friendly emails made it easy for us to choose glamour alvor. No question was too small. My emails were answered almost immediately everytime, with either solutions or alternarives. Carin made planning our wedding aboard so easy and enjoyable. Then when it came to the day in question , everybody was blown away with our venue, food, level of service and organisation. The preparation that went into our special day made absolutely everything run smoothly. I had pictured our wedding in my head, but honestly it was much more then either of us could have dreamed of. Anything that we wanted, we got. Simple as that. Carin literally made our dream day come true!

I don't even know how to put in to words how grateful and happy we are to have found such wonderful wedding planners in the Glamour girls. Patricia, Carin and all of their brilliant suppliers made our wedding day so amazing and special, and not just for us but for all of our guests too. I got in contact with the girls because I liked how classy their website was, and from the moment I met the girls I knew they were going to be my wedding planners, two very classy ladies. They were so professional from day 1. From that day until the big day, I dealt with Patricia through email and met her again on three occasions. She reassured me constantly and always gave me an answer even if I'm sure she knew what I was asking were silly questions. She went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable in making decisions before our big day. Patricia told me it was going to be an amazing day when we first met her at the venue and she was not messing. This was all down to her hard work and patience. On the day itself, I was able to turn to either of the girls if I needed anything which was so comforting. So many people say "your wedding day goes so fast" but mine didn't because I was able to sit back and absorb everything that was happening as I knew that the girls had everything else under control. I know there were probably loads of stresses on the day, but none of them made it as far as me which helped me enjoy the day even more,. All I have heard are compliments since our wedding about the food, the music, the decorations, the lights, the photographers, my make up and hair and above all how Patricia and Carin just blended in but, yet, kept the show on the road We would recommend Glamour to anyone getting married in the Algarve, as I know all of our guests would too. If I had my time over again, I would worry a lot less about things in the lead up to the wedding because these girls know exactly what they are doing, the wedding queens.

If you are looking for a seamlessly perfect wedding day on the Algarve, that surpasses your expectations in every way -Patricia and Carin are the ladies for the job. Not only are they professional in every sense of the word they are the most genuine,kind and warm people who care a lot about you and your guests. I was blown away by the job they did for our wedding. Thank you for making it the most magical day of our lives. You are both fantastic at your jobs and I'll miss your name popping up in my inbox Parricia. We cant recommend you enough!!!

Carin and Patricia are amazing! They superseded our expectations in that everything was executed exactly how we wanted it. We had our concerns planning a wedding online, but we gained complete confidence in them once we saw how professional Carin was the day before when we met with her for our pre wedding meeting. Carin and Patricia answered our e-mails in a timely fashion, and always recommended the best people to do the job. Thank you Carin and Patricia, it was the best wedding we have ever been to!

We got married June 2019. Carin and Patrica were absolutely amazing. Planning a wedding from abroad you would think would be very stressful but it was quite the opposite. Everything was very professional. Carin was always so responsive and friendly. No request was too big or too small. The day itself went perfectly, it was great not having to worry about a thing on the day. Our venue was fantastic - we would never have found the venue ourselves. All the suppliers recommended to us were excellent – every single one was perfect. They were so organised making sure everything was in order and managed the logistics of the guests. Words cannot describe how great they were, we couldn’t have done the wedding without them, and we cannot thank them enough. It really was the best day and in the end it was down to the fabulous Glamour Algarve Weddings. I cannot recommend them enough!!!! Thank you so much Cairn & Patricia xxx All our Love J & N

We booked our wedding with Glamour Weddings and worked closely with Carin over 2 years ago. From the very moment we booked, Carin couldn't be any more helpful and would respond to all my silly questions. We didn't get a chance to visit Portugal or our venue (Suites Alba) before the wedding unfortunately so we were slightly worried that something might not be as we imagined. I can hand on heart say the venue, food, flowers (oura flores), music (DJ Tiggy), photography (Ana Parker), videography (Algarve Wedding Films), decor (unique and chic), makeup (Sharon Phillips), hair (Joana), photo booth (Memory Box) and everything else was absolutely perfect and we wouldn't of changed a single thing! The whole planning process was an absolute breeze and nothing was ever too much. On the wedding day we were so relaxed and everything flowed so well and we got the chance to actually enjoy the day and process without having to stress about timings and guests etc. Carin really brought our ideas and dreams to life and it was even better than we could have possibly imagined. We have received nothing but compliments from all our guests about the staff, suppliers, the food and just how amazing and beautiful the day was and its been the best wedding they've been to! If anyone is planning a wedding in the Algarve I would highly recommend Glamour Weddings and their suppliers. We just wish we could now relive the day over and over again!

We were so lucky to stumble upon Glamour Wedding Planners in a thread on weddingsonline and it turned out the best decision we made. We got married in the Algarve this summer and it was the ultimate dream thanks to Carin in Glamour. Organising a wedding from abroad was so easy thanks to her, always contactable, always available, great help and advice and she guided us through getting the best suppliers possible. We couldn’t thank her enough. Was the ultimate dream thanks to her and the Glamour Team, highly recommend!!

From our first communication to Carin and Patricia, they have been so responsive, professional and friendly! The service was so personalised and they were always happy to answer all of our questions. The level of organisation before the wedding was great and the support on our wedding day was phenomenal! Everything ran so smoothly and we loved having them there on the day, as did our guests :) thank you so much for making our day so special!

We really cannot recommend Glamour Algarve Weddings enough! Our wedding day really was perfect and it's all down to their hard work! Having a small baby at home, I really didn't have the time to plan as much as I would like but Carin did everything for me, nothing was too much trouble and she really did make our wedding day dreams come true! We have been told by many guests that it was "the best wedding they had ever been to" and that was all down to Carin's hard work! From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!

I really don’t know where to begin when saying how amazing Glamour Weddings are! Having visited Portugal at least twice a year for my whole life, I thought I would know what I wanted and where I wanted to get married but it wasn’t until I spoke with Patricia (after being recommended from a friend) she opened up my eyes to the most amazing venues in the Algarve. From our first email, Skype call to meeting in person (lots of times) we knew that Glamour Weddings would organise us the most magical day. Patricia spent lots of time showing us around beautiful venues (some at least twice) and we ended up choosing the gorgeous Os Agostos. We also decided to have a big party at our villa 2 days before the wedding, which in itself felt like a mini wedding. This was no problem for Patricia, she organised everything for both from small details such as the LED floating lights decorations to the BBQ. She provided us a list with all the suppliers and every single supplier were just fantastic and all exceeded expectations! The caters for the villa party were so lovely to meet, the food was delicious and everyone kept saying how amazing it was. Mr Sax and DJ Farby were the perfect combination for the music at the villa, the music they played was exactly to our taste and what we asked for – it was just amazing. For the wedding day I couldn’t have asked for a nicer team recommended by Patricia! Sharon Philips makeup was so friendly and warm, she really made me feel comfortable, especially as I didn’t have a trial she couldn’t have done a better job. JAR styling girls did an amazing job with the bridesmaids! Ana Parker and the team at Orlando Horta were also so warm and made us feel so comfortable throughout the day and captured all our special moments. Father Paul was the kindest priest who ended up coming from our local village in England originally. The Originals were our band and I couldn’t recommend them enough, I don’t think the dance floor emptied once! We then had DJ Dhanny in the barn, which my friends called the rave cave and he was amazing, it was the perfect way to end the perfect day. The venue was breath taking, the food was delicious, the alcohol never stopped flowing! The majority of our guests said that is was the best wedding they had ever been to and that is testament to Glamour Wedding’s hard work! Glamour took care of every little detail and made our dream wedding come true! We couldn’t have asked for better wedding planners, who have now become our friends!

My husband and I had the BEST experience with Glamour Algarve Weddings. With the help of Glamour we planned our perfect 50-person destination wedding from the USA and it was everything we dreamed it would be. We chose Glamour after speaking via Skype with a few other wedding planners, but the moment we spoke with Carin and Patricia we knew we found the right planners. They were always responsive to our emails, always willing to schedule Skype with ourselves and with vendors if we wanted - in fact, they were so responsive and communicative with us through the whole process that if they knew they would be out of town or busy with a wedding over the weekend they would even email us to let us know there would be a delay in response. You can tell that both Carin and Patricia love what they do and care deeply about their clients' happiness. Not only are they warm and wonderful to work with but all the vendors they work with are equally as wonderful. Even our guests commented about how kind and helpful every vendor they came into contact was. I feel so fortunate that our wedding was handled by these two wonderful women. If you are considering a wedding in the Algarve I wouldn't hesitate to contact the Glamour team!

Carin & the team were perfect in every way. They respected & responded to our wishes in a speedy , personal and professional manner. Our day way just perfect... And completely stress free. Couldn't have asked for any more X Thank you x

Glamour Algarve Weddings was wonderful. From the beginning, the first email, they did a lot for us, work with our budget, understand our simple planning and helped us in any way they could. We contacted so many suppliers before deciding on Glamour Weddings and we never experienced a greater service. To be honest, we chose them because we felt they wouldn't let us down and we weren't wrong. This day will be in our memories forever and we know we couldn't have done it as perfect as if it wasn't for their collaboration. We keep receiving compliments from family members and friends about the organization of the day and we have no doubts that is all due to them. With all the weather problems and our lack of time in Portugal, their help was extremely important. You can't go wrong with them and we will recommend it to everyone. Thank you

What can I say, the Glamour girls are absolutely amazing!!We decided to get married and started emailing wedding planners about possible venues when our baby was just a few weeks old. Glamour were on the ball, emailed back straight away and had 3 amazing venues availavle, one of which we fell in love with. The following week the girls were at the wedding fair in Dublin and we decided to go meet them to out a face to the name, so worth it, they were as lovely as their emails . I mostly dealt with Carin, who always answered my emails, and no request was too big or too small. Everything ran smoothly , and our day was everything we could've dreamt off! every supplier they recommeneded were fab! Trust these girls, they will not let you down!!Can not thank them enough xx

We decided to get married in the algarve and I have to say it worried me planning an abroad wedding, however as soon as I got in contact with Glamour Algarve Wedding Planners I needn’t worried! We mainly dealt with Carin who was absolutely fantastic with taking us around to view the venues she had suggested to us and helping us choose suppliers, even when we returned home nothing was too much and Carin kept me up to date or answered questions via Skype calls and emails. As everyone else has said nothing is too much for them! Our day was absolutely magical and we couldn’t of asked for any more, our guests were def wowed and kept saying how amazing it was. For anyone wanting to get married in the algarve, I would 100% recommend these ladies to help you! Thank you so much Carin & Patricia xx

When we first met Patricia for our first meeting we knew instantly we found the right planners. After months of searching, meeting, and speaking with planners we knew Glamour was by far the best, and that they proved throughout and on the day. Their job was not just on the day, they were there for us for nearly two years of enquiries, help and advice. Throughout our time we were never, in any way, worried or anxious about our day. We had 100% confidence in Glamour and the team to pull off the best day of our lives and we were right. On the day, they had full control and we just happily cruised along and enjoyed the ride. Theyre planning and Co ordinating was almost invisible as as we just felt the day belonged to us. Patricia and Carin absolutely love what they do. They love making your wedding the best day of your life and they love your day as much as you do. They treat each and every wedding lie their own. They are so nice and so professional. We have been telling everyone back home and on other sites that if your looking to get married, do it in algarve and let Glamour weddings take care of it for you. Amazing service, amazing professionalism, amazing packages. Thank you Patricia and Carin.

Our wedding day was everything and more then we expected. We got married on Tavira island right on the beach in the sand my dream since a little girl, and Patricia and Karin did an amazing job!! Thanks you so much for making our dream come true.

The ladies at Glamour are absolutely amazing. My husband and I really couldn’t have asked for a more fantastic day. It was such an easy and enjoyable experience planing our day with Carin and completely stress free. Our guests were blown away by everything on our wedding day. Every single little detail was perfect and that was all down to the great girls at Glamour. Thanks for everything ????????

Anyone considering having a wedding abroad in the Algarve, if you want to have the best wedding planners in Portugal look no further! And if you haven’t considered a wedding abroad you really need to it was the best decision we ever made. From the very moment we contacted Carin from Glamour Algarve Weddings we knew we were in very safe hands. The level of professionalism and love for the work they do is second to none. The attention to detail and timing made our day an absolute dream and took away any worries that we had planning from Ireland. Carin was very open and honest all the way through the process and thought of all the little details that we hadn’t even considered. Both Carin and Patricia are the nicest people you could ever meet and I would recommend them to everyone. My whole family and other guests can’t stop talking about our wedding day and many have said that it was like a fairy tale. It certainly was for us x thank you both so much for all of your hard work and dedication and for making our dreams come true xx

The ladies, Carin and Patricia, at Glamour Algarve Weddings were amazing from the very first email right up to and indeed after our big day! We initially contacted the guys at Glamour as they had been highly recommended from friend who had previously worked with them. The #1 piece of advice we can give to other couples thinking of getting married in the Algarve, is to go with Glamour Algarve Wedding Planners... the professionalism, responsiveness, understanding, caring, elegance and stylish nature of Carin and Patricia is second to none. We also very much appreciated and valued their honest opinions, which we feel is very important when planning a wedding abroad.  They say planning a wedding can be stressful but in all honesty we breezed through planning our big day thanks to these guys. The Glamour team really do everything in their power to ensure you have the wedding of your dreams.  We really cannot recommend them highly enough, or thank them enough of giving us the day we had always wanted. All our guests were really blown away with the day, but it really could not have happened without the all their hard work.

Hi girls.!! If I could offer ye one tip of advice for the girls getting married in the Algarve.... ***ye must get Carin & Patricia from Glamour Weddings as your wedding planners!!**** Honestly they are THE best in the business... their professionalism, expertise & attention to detail is absolutely flawless. I got married last September in Quinta do Lago & honestly without a shadow of a doubt they made the day just so easy for me & my husband. Planning an abroad wedding can take its toll, you have no control, no insight & can be a bit overwhelming... but with Carin & Patricia you won’t go wrong.! They know everything & everyone & you can relax knowing that they have everything in order. They have so many weddings, yet they make you feel like you are the most important person to them.. honestly I couldn’t recommend them enough !! X

Glamour Algarve Weddings are just wonderful. From the first email, we found them extremely helpful and more organised than a lot of the competition. They are happy to work with your budget and are definitely value for money. They are responsive to emails and they certainly know the area. The location they helped us find was perfect, we couldn’t have been happier with it. On the day of the wedding, they worked their magic quietly in the background, not bothering anyone. Overall we were very happy that we chose them and would highly recommend.

Our day was everything we could have ever imagined and that was because Carin and the team listened to all our ideas and put them into place. Everything we asked for was exacuted in the way we had imagined it. The day was so professional and was a complete dream and that was down to glamour weddings and there selected suppliers. I cannot express enough how perfect everything was. Putting your trust in someone so far away to put together one of the most important days of your life is a big decision but not when your working with glamour weddings. Thank you so much for making our day everything we ever wanted and for helping make memories we will treasure in our hearts forever ????

Two very competent ladies, there were a lot of emails, a few phone calls and an extra trip or two to meet in person. Patricia and Carin are very professional, very easy to talk to. They were quick to respond to any queries I had regarding planning, they sent me lots of really useful info which I kept and was able to keep dipping into. Patricia and Carin organised meetings with the venue to do food tasting, the venue which was Tivioli at Portimao was absolutely stunning, the views, on the marina where we could watch the boats go passed, when we had chance of course on the day. The food was delicious and the staff really looked after you. The ladies also organised for me a pre make-up and hair session, which I found so useful and the for the hair and make-up ladies to arrive on the day for myself and bridesmaids. They organised the cake, the flowers for the church and the photographer, who was superb. On the day you didn't notice the photographer taking pictures, so many of them were so natural. On the day Patricia and Carin guided everyone to where they needed to be, the flowers in the church were so beautiful, we had sunshine, blue skies, excellent. My husband and I had a truly magical, perfect day. I really cannot say thank you enough to everyone involved in our most perfect day in the Algarve. To any couple who read this, I would say to you without any doubt in my mind go for it, certainly use Glamour weddings.

I honestly can not fault Patricia and her team. They took all of the hassle out of planning our big day and everything was absolutely perfect. Their attention to detail is second to none and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone planning to get married in the Algarve. Thank you so much Patricia, we couldn’t have done it without you!

We want to express our thankfulness to the Glamour Weddings team for making our dream wedding come true! Both took great care of us from the first minute and made anything possible - especially when others would have quit or suggested otherwise.

What can I say about Carin and Patricia! From the moment we met them over in Portugal to view wedding venues, we knew they were the right planners for us. Nothing was too much for them. They were well organised, professional and most importantly, so friendly. Any questions we had, we would email them or Skype and they would go above and beyond to deal with our requests. They were very efficient. They kept the communication open at all times, letting us know when they would be out of the office on business trips etc. Assuring us they would pick up any emails on their return. Which they always did. They would recommend suppliers to us, ones they had worked with before and had a good experience with. They were also happy to deal with new suppliers that we had found ourselves. When we arrived in Portugal for the wedding, we met up with Carin and felt at ease that everything was set in place for our big day. On the wedding day both Carin and Patrica worked endlessly to ensure the day went seamlessly. From personally delivering flowers to the hotel, taking all the wedding favours, presents and picture frames to the venue to set up, nothing was too much. They coordinated the ceremony to precision. We had many guests, including lots of children and all were so looked after. Including my father in law, who isn’t very mobile. Both Carin and Patricia stayed at the wedding for the whole day and most of the night, leaving only when the dj and party got into full swing. We can’t thank them enough. They made our day what is was. I highly recommend Glamour. Thank you both ... Soph and Kev xxx

Patricia and her team were an invaluable asset for our wedding planning in Portugal. Planning a wedding while being abroad is quite challenging and the level of service and care from her team I cannot recommend enough. The attention to detail and recommendations were so helpful and having them there on the day was amazing, I did not have to worry about a thing and the day went seamlessly which I could not have done without them. Thank you for everything and most of all your warm hospitality and hard work.

I couldn’t recommend glamour algarve weddings more! We started planning our wedding around a year before the date and we have enjoyed the wedding planning process so much because Patricia was so helpful with everything, she always had options and suggestions for whatever I was looking for. There wasn’t a single thing during the wedding that we were not happy about! All the suppliers were truly amazing. As for the wedding day itself I didn’t even dream that I could be so relaxed, Patricia and Carin were there all the time making sure everything was running smooth, all we had to do was enjoy our day!

Patricia and Karin where absolutely fabulous, creative, calm adn professional. Absolutely nothing was to much trouble and they nt only became my wedding planners but my good friends too. The day was so wonderful because of the hard work and dedication the girls put in. Patricia was always available to speak, to advise and to guide and i miss planning our wedding with her. It was the most magical day and Glamour Weddings couldnt have made it any more special. Couldnt reccomend them anymore!!

When my husband proposed we knew it could only be one place we could get married, Portugal. We looked into getting a wedding here in the UK but it was awful – The planner we spoke to kept trying to persuade us to go to the Maldives to get married instead of understanding what we wanted. After this we knew we needed to find planners who lived in Portugal. After a few searches on the internet I came across Glamour Weddings – Fell in love with the website especially when as I saw the word “Rustic” on their website I knew they would appreciate what we wanted (as this was the only word I could think of to describe the wedding we wanted). The website itself tells you everything you need to know about Glamour and what you see is what you get, these two women who make your dreams come true. Once looking through the different types of weddings and their bio I knew I had to get in contact. After inputting my information into their page a few days later I received an email and I was not disappointed. Immediately after enquiring these these lovely ladies set our minds at ease and did everything to answer our questions. Considering we hadn’t hired them at this point they replied to my 100 of emails within a day of receiving and offered to take us to three venues they recommended from our discussion. We met them on 03.06.2017 the first venue we saw was the venue we had for our wedding “Villa Termal das Caldas de Monchique” when discussing this venue they had hardly any photos as it was very recently on their books but they assured us this would be a venue we would like from what we described. As soon as we arrived I knew this was the place. Carin/Patricia could of got our venue you more right for us if they tried – It was exactly what we wanted. Very Portuguese/No Beach/Rustic/Open Plan/Beautiful views, the best place for us. From that moment I knew we had nothing to worry about and instantly booked them to do the whole wedding. We picked our wedding date a year on from the day we saw the venue 03.06.2018 which gave us less than a year to plan. With the girls help this was easy – We used mainly all their suppliers apart from our band but again Carin/Patricia were so accommodating. They still organised the band even though they weren’t a recommendation from them – Anything we needed they did with a smile and with ease. They took what we wanted and made it happen better than anyone that we would have hired in the UK. I honestly don’t know what we would have done without them. When booking the venue we had to pick a set menu – My husband and I like choice and wanted to offer our guests a buffet styled dinner with all our favourite foods rather than a set menu – We listed our foods to Carin/Patricia who worked with the venue to make this affordable and what we wanted (on the day the food really exceeded our expectations, was perfect). That’s just one of the ways they went over and beyond to tailor our wedding for us. After this Carin/Patricia would then send through checklist/suppliers/wedding costs break downs throughout the planning process always making sure everything was running smoothly and nothing was missed. My parents were a little wary of us using a planner aboard due to all the horror stories you hear on the news/social media. When speaking to them and describing the way they have both Carin/Patricia has been so helpful and only requesting a deposit to kick start the planning’s they were really impressed even more so when they met them. We met up with Carin before our wedding to taste the food go over last minute arrangements. We met at the venue and Carin had organised with Rui ( the manager at our venue) a private tasting. Ryan and I investigate the food beforehand by going to Portugal a few months before by staying at the venue for a few days to understand what it was like. We was impressed with the food but not the drinks and I bought this up with my planner. So when we had this tasting Rui/Carin organised the drinks to be made with perfection by their top waiter - We were overwhelmed by the complete dedication from both Rui/Carin to understand our concerns and rectify without hesitation. The drinks therefore were incredible at the tasting and even better on the day! Also on this mini break Carin picked up various pieces of cake for us to try from the nearby baker and dropped it to our hotel for us to try when we were ready after a day trip on our holiday. That level of customer service is unheard of and really outlines the kind of people Carin/Patricia are. Dedicated/Hard working/LOEVLY! The day finally arrived and couldn’t of gone smoother. I’m a perfectionist and it’s really difficult for me to let go of doing things myself and allowing other people to do things for me. Carin was at venue with Ryan and I, Patricia was at the meeting point for our guests to be picking up by our coach to be taken to the venue. Carin make sure all the suppliers were at the venue on time – knew what they were doing when and made sure everything was running smoothly. Patricia made sure all the guests were on the coach on time and showed all guests where to go once they arrived. Honestly when I say we had the best day… I’m not just saying it. WE HAD THE BEST DAY. Everything went to plan and even if it didn’t we would never of known as Carin/Patricia took care of everything. Honestly can’t thank the girls enough for everything they did – They have become friends as well as our planners and if you don’t use them your honestly missing out. THANK YOU SO MUCH GIRLS, you know we appreciate it and love you!!! xxx

Carin and Patricia were amazing from the very beginning their wealth of knowledge and professionalism put me right at ease. The ladies went above and beyond before and on the wedding day with no task too big or small. All of our guests could not have praised them more highly for how amazing they were. We can’t thank them enough and will never forget all the work they put into our big day to make it extra special. We would recommend glamour algarve weddings without a second thought to anyone considering getting married in the algarve.

We met Carin and Patricia at the Wedding show in Dublin and booked them after chatting with them and explaining what we were looking for, they were then our wedding planners and we couldn't have done it without them. From every email to text message I sent Carin was so quick to respond. To meeting my dad out in Portugal when he brought wedding bits over for us. Nothing was a problem. The morning of the wedding they were there check everything was going according to plan and on time. And throughout the whole day they were there keeping everything running smoothly dealing with the suppliers and hotel, we could just sit back and enjoy our day. I would highly recommend Glamour Algarve Weddings, the girls are fab you will definitely be in safe hands.

Well what can I say, from start to finish, these ladies are true to their word. Absolutely fantastic at their job. Nothing I asked for was too much or no question was too silly. Everything was taken care of. We didn't have a huge budget to play around with but these guys fitted everything we asked for in. Such a pleasure to work with. If you are thinking of getting married in Portugal, give these ladies an email. They really do make dreams come true. Thank you for everything you both have done. Our wedding day was one of the happiest days we have ever had. Lisa and Derek xx

If we could go back and do it all over again we would not change a thing. Carin and Patricia were absolutely fantastic. From the very first day we met them until the day we got married. They were constantly in contact. Sorting out any query we had and sourcing every idea we had. I couldn't recommend them highly enough. Thank ye for making our day so special.

We had carin as our wedding planner and my word she was amazing! From our very first meeting with her in Portugal we instantly felt at ease with her planning our wedding. We met up twice prior the wedding day just to decide on the big stuff such as venue and florist etc. Everything else was spoken about over email. Carin was so helpful and i can't even describe how perfect our day was. I was very sceptical about it being 'the best day of your life' but thankyou to Carin and Patricia it really was. Without them all those small details that make a wedding so special and personal wouldn't have been there! They are so good at what they do I would recommend them a hundred times over! There was no question too big or too small for them and they forever gave us advice and recommendations throughout the whole year towards planning! Saying thankyou to these guys would never be enough. I would say if you were to have a wedding planner in Portugal you should always have these two wonderful ladies!

Patricia & Carin are THE BEST!! We couldn't have asked for better people to organise our wedding. They removed all the stress that goes with getting married and their attention to detail made sure that it really was the best days of our lives!! Our guests were all so impressed and we only have Patricia & Carin to thank for that. If only we could do it all over again. It was wonderful!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!

From start to finish Glamour Algarve Weddings were professional, extremely helpful, always there for a quick reply when needed. Every recommendation was spot on. We had our dream wedding, and had no stress of the planning it was such a pleasure. We recommend Glamour Algarve Weddings 100% And would like to thank them again for everything they did for us from the start to the finish they are truely amazing.

We got married in September in the Algarve. From the beginning I had some trouble getting responses from some wedding planners in the area. Carin always got back to me within the day which really helped with the organisation. She was an absolute pleasure to deal with throughout and I always felt my wedding was being looked after. I can't fault these two for prodessionalism on the day. Everything went seamlessly and we had a ball. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to any bride.

I had been planning my wedding with Patricia from Glamour for 18 months. She was very friendly from the very first email. She offered brilliant advice and recommendations that suited the day that we wanted. Nothing was every a problem. The day that we finally met I felt like I already knew her. Doing the planning over email with Patricia was stress free. The day was absolutely perfect and better than anything I had expected. Our guests loved every minute of the day as did we. I would definitely recommend Glamour Algarve Weddings. Thank you so much

Carin and Patricia of Glamour Weddings are the two most amazing wedding planners/people and friends that you will find. We booked our wedding on February 2016 for 8th of September 2017. They were amazing at responding to email and what's app and meeting up with us when we visited Portugal. It made the day and build up stress free. They recommended the best suppliers and all worked together brilliantly on the day. I consider them friends for life and miss our emails. No request was too big or too small for these ladies. If you are considering getting married in Portugal I would 100% recommend these ladies without a doubt!

From the moment we met Carin & Patricia, we knew we were in safe hands. They are uber cool, stylish and so professional and efficient!! We are so grateful for everything Carin and Patricia did for us, it was just absolutely magical and they literally made our dreams come true. Everyone is still talking about how special it was and how amazing the venue, food, music and atmosphere was. Our guests couldn't believe how special they were made to feel, something that was very important to us and that is all thanks to you two absolute stars!! Not only did you create the wedding of our dreams, but we have made friends for life and we thoroughly enjoyed working with you both. Maeve and Niall xxx

After our engagement in Dec 2016, we knew that getting married in Portugal in the summer of Summer 2017 would be tight in terms of time. We spoke to several wedding planners, but after speaking to both Patricia & Carin, they instantly made us both feel 100% comfortable & we knew straight away that we wanted Glamour to plan our wedding for us! Patricia took the lead on our wedding & we rested assured that despite only having a 7 month window to plan, that we could have the special day we’d always wanted. She left no stone unturned when it came to the planning process & was always quick to respond on E-Mail or WhatsApp whenever we had a question to ask, no matter how small. We also took a brief trip out to meet Patricia & Carin in April so we could visualise venues, meet the caterers & have some dedicated time to iron out all of the details that go into such a big day, which was really valuable & the guys couldn’t have done enough for us. We had over 80 guests & a separate ceremony venue to our reception venue, talk about a challenge! We felt no stress (almost!) throughout the entire process thanks to Glamour & the day itself was hands down the best we’ve ever spent together & one we will cherish for the rest of our days. We would unreservedly recommend Glamour weddings to anyone planning to get married in the Algarve, thank you Patricia & Carin! Chris & Laura XXX

Patricia was a pleasure to deal with throughout the planning of our dream Portugal wedding. Nothing was an issue anything we asked it was taken care of. On the day of our wedding both Patricia and cairn were there to take care of every detail - everything ran smoothly and we had nothing to worry about which was a major plus Thank you

We had the most amazing time planning our wedding with Carin from Glamour Algarve Weddings. She is so professional in her work and was always on hand to offer advice and guidance. We live in Australia and had not had the opportunity to visit the venues around the Algarve, Carin was so helpful and took the time to Facetime us from a number of venues we selected which was so fantastic of her. She put our minds at ease throughout the planning process! What can I say but our wedding day was magical and surpassed our expectations. Carin and Patricia were on hand throughout the day ensuring everything went to plan and were just so professional. We highly recommend Carin and the entire Glamour team and thank them from the bottom of our hearts xx

Back to normality but with some wonderful memories to treasure. Our venue let us down 3 weeks before the wedding but thanks to Carin and Patricia we still had our dream wedding and I wouldn’t change anything about it. My favourite wedding story now is how amazing Carin and Patricia were to get us Suites Alba at such short notice. It was fabulous. Some of our guests said it was the best wedding they’d ever been to. It certainly was for us! The kids keep asking if we can get married again. We wouldn’t think twice about recommending these fine ladies. True professionals.

I would highly recommend glamour weddings as they made our whole wedding day an amazing, beautiful stress free day.

Carin & Patricia were the most amazing wedding planners that we could of hoped for. They are both so professional and absolute perfectionists. Planning a wedding, especially abroad can be so stressful but they made it such a nice, stress-free experience for us. After meeting Carin for the first time to view venues, we knew we were in safe hands. She went above and beyond to make sure that anything we wanted to have on our wedding day was made possible. Carin & Patricia made us feel so relaxed on our wedding day - they coordinated everything and looked after both us and our guests all day long. Our wedding day was magical, it was everything we wished for and more. They helped us create the wedding of our dreams! Thank you for everything, Orla & Barry xxx

I got in touch with glamour weddings in early 2016 and from then we were in touch every so often, any questions or worries we had were answered. The girls looked after us so well from start to finish, we were thrilled with how our whole day went, having the girls there made it so much more relaxed. We were delighted to have them as part of our big day x

The ladies at Glamour absolutely nailed our brief - from the first email to the viewings around beautiful venues - through the costings, the choice of suppliers and up to the day itself - we were helped every step of the way. Our wedding day was a dream and exceeded our expectations. We had absolutely nothing to do other than enjoy ourselves! Our guests loved it all. Thank you so much! Be sure to ask these classy, stylish ladies to add a touch of glamour to your day!

If your thinking of planning a foreign wedding please contact Carin and Patricia at Glamor Weddings. They are both fantastic and have great suppliers to recommend. Best decision ever to get married abroad.

The day went without a hitch (or at least from what I know) the girls took care of everything, on the day and before. I couldn't imagine doing it without them! Organising the day went smooth with their suppliers and we were kept informed and helped with decisions. We live in Oz and between Skype, phone calls, whatsapp and email were on hand at all hours. They even organised the day after for us and our guests. Cannot give them enough praise, We have already recommended them to others. Ruth and Declan Mc Garry

As soon as we contacted Glamour we knew the planning was going to be seamless. Carin immediately understood what we were looking for and surpassed all expectations throughout the whole process. There was no stress at all. Always very accessible and very quick to come back to any questions. On the day both Carin and Patricia were there for the whole Day and were relieved by their colleague Isabel who stayed til the early hours. I have never seen such dedication, enthusiasm and professionalism from a service provider. The day was fantastic, better than we could ever have imagined. I only wish we could do it all again. Thanks again Carin and Patricia. You are phenomenal.

Patricia and Carin, We will be forever grateful to you both for organising the most important day of our lives. We knew from the moment we met you both that our special day was in safe hands. Carin and Patricia are extremely professional but at the same time very friendly, genuine and honest. We are a very relaxed couple and so we had a super relaxed wedding and this was mainly because of the girls. You took care of every little detail. We are just sorry that we did not get to see more of you both on the wedding day. Every guest we had at our wedding was amazed by the venue, music, photographer, hair & makeup, food and most importantly, you two ladies. Several guests commented on how lovely you were to them. I would highly recommend Glamour Algarve Weddings, especially if you want an amazing wedding that your guests will talk about for years to come. You both are so amazing at what you do. Thank you so much again!!!!!! Love from Ryan and Deborah Maconachie xxxxx

Patricia and Carin made everything so easy. We had the most amazing week long celebration. A fairytale come true.

Myself & my hubby Wayne got married in June of this year in the Algarve. Carin looked after us from Glamour Algarve weddings from start to finish and Patricia also on our wedding day. I genuinely cannot recommend their company enough. They made our entire experience amazing & so easy. Everything you could need or request was looked after & organized without fault or delay. Carin & Patricia are so professional, but also so nice, caring and fun. If anyone is looking for amazing wedding planners, honestly they are truly the best. We had the best week of our lives, that wouldn't have happened without Carin & Patricia Claire & Wayne

Our wedding is in June 2017 - these ladies are sooooooooooooo amazing cant do enough for me always at the end of the phone or email...Some planners I contacted made it feel like a factory and that I was a number - not with these guys - couldn't recommend them enough!

When we first decided to Marry in Portugal I wondered whether I needed a wedding planner and whether my OCD could cope with somebody else being involved in my wedding but wow the girls at glamour were absolutely amazing and worth every single penny. I emailed them day and night for 22 months and they never complained. They were always quick to respond or at the end of the phone if I needed them. They met us on the days before the wedding and gave us a full breakdown of the day and how it would all come together. This made me feel so at ease so much so that I was so relaxed on the day and didn't have to worry about anything. I cannot praise them enough for making our day as beautiful as it was. They were both so professional and had fantastic sense of humour. After the wedding we felt sad that we would never speak to them again but I was wrong I think we have found friends for life. Love Darren and Hayley xxx

We have just returned back to Wales from our fabulous wedding in the Algarve. We could not have chosen better wedding planners to help organise our big day! Carin, who I spoke to on a daily basis helped make our wedding dream a reality. Any questions or issues I may have had, no matter how big or small were dealt with professionally and promptly. We could not have asked for any more! Carin and Patricia were absolutely fantastic on the day also, and were so attentive, everything ran perfectly, and they were so approachable, part of our wedding! Guests loved them too. I wish I could do it all again :)

The decision to approach Glamour for our wedding was made, due to the friendly nature of Patricia at a wedding fair in Dublin. Throughout the whole process, from the planning stages to the big day, the girls were very accommodating, trying their hardest to make our dreams a reality. Regular contact via email and video calling ensured the important details weren't missed, and provided positive reassurance along the way. On the day of our wedding Patricia and Carin were there for the whole day, helping all the time, to ensure the day ran without a hitch. Our wedding day was truly a wonderful thing, with amazing weather in a beautiful location, and our guests are still talking about how perfect the day was. We will be forever grateful to the team at Glamour Weddings Algarve, and would wholeheartedly recommend them for your dream wedding in the Algarve.

These girls are extremely professional and are honest in their opinions.. they work extremely hard and take pride in their business... I never had to worry about my wedding preparations as they always had everything organised to perfection... we would highly recommend Glamour Weddings Algarve...

From the minute we spoke to Glamour Algarve Weddings on Skype, we knew we would be in extremely safe hands. Patricia and Carin were simply brilliant from the start, consistently through to our big day and even now, still helping us out and answering all our questions! The lovely ladies are professional and very efficient whilst being friendly and super fun! We had a completely stress free ten months planning our wedding because Glamour took care of everything, they literally did all the hard work for us, making everything so easy. Our wedding day was utterly perfect and this is pretty much all down to the planners we chose. We had everything we asked for and more! Lots of things we hadn't even thought of, or didn't think would be possible - they made it happen! We feel we have made two great friends and were so grateful for everything they did, my husband even mentioned Patricia and Carin in his speech. I cannot praise Glamour Weddings enough and whenever we talk about our wedding to people we always mention how amazing they are! To say we recommend them is an understatement, but we certainly do. Thank you again Patricia and Carin and we will see you when we come back to The Algarve for our Anniversary! Frances & Gareth McBain.

From the moment I met Patricia in the RDS in Jan 16 I knew she was the wedding planner for me! She immediately put me at ease, listened to everything I said and gave me so much information on getting married in the beautiful Algarve. Within a month myself and future husband had travelled over to Portugal to view potential villas to get married in. Again Patricia had taken on board everything we wanted and picked the perfect locations. The next 7 months of planning involved a lot of late night emails, text messages and a couple of Skype calls. Patricia was always there to advise and offer solutions to any problems I came up with! These planners are incredibly flexible and never tried to push a pre-packaged wedding format on us. Our wedding truly was tailored exactly to us and nothing we asked for was too much hassle. One of our concerns about getting married abroad was not being able to trial everything e.g. food, hair and makeup. Every service provider that they recommended were spot on. These girls are the best at what they do and I would highly recommend them to anyone considering getting married in Portugal.

From the very first Skype call to Patricia and caryn I just loved them! They were very helpful and warm girls. They explained everything and nothing was a hassle. Any email or question was answered very quick! They made our dream wedding possible and if you are going to get married in the beautiful Algarve then please do yourself a favour and get in touch with Patricia and caryn!

Well what can we say, these girls are the best in the Algarve. We knew from the first phone call that they were the Wedding Planner for us. They were the third planner we had got in touch with so it really was Third Time Lucky for us. Carin and Patricia were always so professional from that first skype call, to our subsequent visit to the Algarve right through to wedding day itself. They never put us under any pressure to use a certain supplier or go with additional costs, in fact they were very helpful in helping us decide where our money was best spent. In our view they dont get enough credit for what they do, if you are considering using Glamour you are in very safe hands. You will not only get a professional, prompt and efficient service but end up with two friends who you will be in contact with forever. Two beautiful souls inside and out. We are so glad we hired them and had them with us on our special day. 3 months later, our family and guests are still talking about their fondness of the girls and the exceptional service they provided. Making the decision to get married in the Algarve was the best decision we made.

Patricia was recommended to us by a hotel we were considering, and she has been so amazing at organising everything way beyond our expectations. She has wealth of experience dealing with all types of unexpected scenario while planning and during the wedding, and very efficient at getting things done to a very high standard. She is probably the only Portuguese I know would reply to emails after working hours to put your mind at ease. My husband and I both really enjoyed her service and would definitely recommend her to any couples who are thinking of getting married in Portugal!

Patricia & Carin are so helpful and made our special day amazing, they are always on call and very professional. They have great supplier to offer and always help to make your day perfect with whatever you need, which helps so much with taking the stress out of organising the wedding. A huge thank you from us both it was the day we both dreamed of.

Absolutely amazing service and feel so relaxed and happy with our big day, Glamour are so helpful and felxible with everything and nothing is too much, they are happy to help with anything and provide great feedback and options for suppliers. So happy that I booked our wedding through them!

Where do we start when describing Carin and Patricia! From the first time we spoke I knew our wedding day was in the best hands. The warmest, loveliest, most hard-working, efficient and professional pair we cannot say enough good words about these two. I would whole-heartedly tell any couple getting married in the Algarve to use Glamour Algarve Weddings without a second thought as you will not find another service quite like it. They go above and beyond to provide a very personal wedding planning service, finding the best venues and local suppliers, offering their own professional opinions while at the same time making sure every tiny detail is exactly as you want it. They are always on hand- day or night and they keep you sane when you start to go crazy!! They welcomed all of our friends and family on our big day and made sure everyone was happy, so much so that all of our guests were raving about how wonderful they were. We truly would not have had the magical day that we had, nor the beautiful memories we made without them and all their hard work and we can never repay them for that!

We got married 2 weeks ago at the Vida mar Resort in Albuferia and we were delighted with our wedding. It was just perfect in every way. The Glamour wedding girls are amazing and helped and advised us from start to finish. They helped us decide on a venue, flowers, band etc. They were also available at anytime to ask questions, add extras etc. ensuring our day was going to be just right. On our wedding day they spend the full day/ night ensuring our day ran like clock work with no hiccups. I would recommend using Glamour Wedding to anyone. The are fun/ professional and amazing wedding planners. Thank you so much xxxxxxxxxx

The two specialists in Weddings Patricia and Carin organized such a wonderful and unforgettable day for us. Although we were communicating most of the time by Email (because we Live in Germany) they fullfilled all our wishes. At any moment they tried hard to answer all the questions regarding documents, Decoration etc., so they deserve recognition for that!!! All the other persons, like the photographer, the staff of the Wedding Location, the florist etc were very professional and good recommended by Carin and Patricia. Best Choice! We can strongly recommend "Glamour Algarve Weddings"! We would say "yes" again with you! Thank you so much!!!

Best decision we ever made was to book with these beautiful girls who are Glamour Weddings Algarve!  We wanted a relaxed and intimate wedding (there were 27 of us in total) and Patricia & Carin fully helped deliver exactly that.  They kept in constant contact, helping me make decisions, sending me pictures, giving me ideas and everything ran so smoothly and stress free.  Even when I was getting nervous on the actual day of the wedding they kept me calm!!  On the actual day they were there every step of the way, guiding us through every single process.  They even had a great rapport with our guests who also said how lovely these girls are.  Our outdoor wedding at Suites Alba couldn't have been more beautiful, the views were absolutely breath-taking!  We had a Pianist playing throughout our ceremony and hearing him play our songs had most of our guests crying with emotion!  He was fantastic.  Our photographer Joao Mascarenhas is one of the nicest guys you could meet, he made us feel so at ease even though we both can be quite camera shy!  We had our wedding meal at Restaurante Casa Da Fonte.  The food was fabulous and the staff couldn’t do enough to help, they were so friendly and always on hand to serve everyone in a timely manner.  Considering neither of us had ever been to Portugal before, it definitely more than lived up to our expectations and we certainly couldn’t have done it all without Patricia & Carin.  Getting married there was just amazing.  My only regret is that it is all over now!  I would so love to go and do it all over again, it was just perfect and I wouldn't change a single thing.

I got married on the 2nd of June 2016 and myself and my Husband can't thank Carin and Patrica enough for everything that they done for us. We first met them in October 2015 in Dublin when they where over for a wedding fair, When I first said I wanted to get married abroad my mam nearly had a heart attack because she knew I would be panicking leaving my wedding in someone else hands, but when I met Carin and Patricia I felt so at ease they were fantastic from start to finish throughout the whole wedding progress. I received regular updates from them regarding the wedding and any requests I had regarding the wedding day and suppliers they were back within hours with a response and ideas nothing was to big or small a job for them. Our wedding day was more than we could have ever hoped for it was everything I had asked for and more. We would highly recommend Glamour Algarve Weddings for anyone who is looking at getting married in the Algarve there fee is so reasonable for the amount of work they put into your special day

Dear Glamour girls, you are amazing!! We are so happy to have met you. - our case: we live in Switzerland and wanted to make a civil ceremony near the beach in Portugal. So Algarve was our choice, but none of us is from Algarve and so no idea what / how to do. - how we met: a friend told us about Carin and Patricia, saying that they were good planning weddings, working with the couples and the suppliers. We send 1 email on a Sunday evening and we got immediately an answer. We organized a Skype call for a day around 17h. We skyped till late =) was a very nice. Patricia and Carin are so, so sympathic and have such a funny humor, and they are very, very professional and competent. - how it worked: in the first skype call we explained our idea, dates...and after that we started to receive the informations, suggestions, ideas, offers, costs analysis. We were constantly having contact per email, whatsapp, skype calls. We visited Algarve 2 times to see the places, and make some decisions. Patricia and Carin were taking care of our visit, showing us all the places and people (photographs & videographs, music, lawyer, hairdresser,...). Thank you sooo much. - how it ended: we were in Portugal some days before and had the last meeting. Everything was organized has planned, so we could enjoy the days before, instead of being in stress. The big day everything went perfect! Patricia and Carin were all the day with us but always 2 steps ahead organizing and controlling all the details. We were having a beautiful day, enjoyed with our guests and didn't need to bother with anything, because...they were just there! - how they are: They are very professional and competent. They have a good creative side and are very quick with the communication. They are also good advisers and under pressure they continue smiling. Keep Happy - making happiness happen!
