Quinta da Fontoura - Portugal

From the moment we started planning our wedding, we decided we didn't really want a "theme", what we idealized was a "Wedding in the Woods"! What was our surprise when we discovered, just by chance, that 20 minutes from our house was the place of our dreams. It was the second venue we visited, 18 months in advance and we didn't see any more! We immediately decided that this would be the place where we would hold the civil ceremony and the wedding reception. Do you know those places that look magical, so beautiful they are? That's what we felt on that day, fairytale characters, us and our guests who loved the space, the decor, the staff. "The farm house is so beautiful, that raw nature", "And the tent?!? Full of lights." What a dream, our dream! On the day, it rained heavily for 10 minutes at the time of the appetizers and even that seemed to be part of the schedule. All the staff, whether from the venue / catering and animation immediately resolved the situation and our guests were so happy, so delighted that not even that spoiled the party. On the contrary, "wet marriage, blessed marriage" all said! But this dream was not possible without the help, initially of Rita and later of Mariana. They were exceptional in organizing every detail for the big day! Regarding the day itself, we have to thank besides Mariana, Jessica and our dear head of the room, Zélia, who always assured us that we were not missing anything, neither us nor our guests. Thank you very much from the bottom of our hearts for helping us to ensure that September 14th was the special day it was, it will be forever etched in our memory and in our hearts. Everything went so well that the next day we just wanted to get married again. Thanks to Quinta da Fontoura and all the staff, who were exceptional!

On June 8, 2019 we made our wedding and we opted for Quinta da Fontoura, since they were always very accessible and flexible (we are residing in the Azores). I’d like to especially thank Rita who organized everything and was tireless, Mariana who received the "briefcase" and it was amazing to the end, Zélia the flexible and patient spectacular room manager. The event and every moment organized by the team with the bridegrooms came out better than expected and all minor setbacks promptly resolved. Amazing place to cater for special events such as weddings, very charming and went down a treat with all the guests.

It was the first venue that we visited and we fell in love with the environment, space, the woods and also the lake. What stood out the most was the friendliness and professionalism of the staff involved in the organization, namely Rita, who helped us so much and demonstrated a very high level of service. In 5 months, we organized our dream wedding, it was a fantastic and unforgettable day. That day (May 18, 2019), we were able to have fun and make the most of it, without worrying about the party, thanks to Rita, Mariana and the head chef. Just as we were able to provide the 150 guests with an unforgettable day and experience. Many have given us good feedback and intend to return there. A word of appreciation for the catering company “O Sentido da Gula”, very well organized and with an abundance of good quality food. Congratulations to the whole team, they exceeded our expectations. It was the best day of our lives, thanks to all of you! Thank you!
