Sonho A Dois Algarve Weddings

Noelia and her team are truly exceptional. Words cannot express the incredible job they did. Planning a wedding abroad can be filled with anxiety and uncertainties, but these ladies turned it into a seamless journey from beginning to end, regardless of the distance. Their unwavering support made everything so much smoother; I didn't have to dwell on any concerns. There were moments when I questioned why I wasn't feeling stressed, almost searching for it to feel "normal." However, Noelia and her team made it effortless; there was no room for stress or worries. The connection you build with your planner is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Cherish every second of it because it's undeniable that Noelia is truly the best in the business! I will always be thankful for the unforgettable experience and the continuous support provided every step of the way. Noelia brought our fairytale wedding to life and considered details that we could have never imagined. Thank you Noelia again for EVERYTHING 🤍We will miss you so much, thank you for the memories.

Carla is a truly special and gifted person and after 4 years of planning and postponing I think we are friends for life now. From the moment we met her she could not do enough for us and there was never any issues, she is calm, caring and a true professional. We had the most wonderful wedding and it was all down to Carla, we cannot thank you enough. Even our guests commented on how fab Carla was! Thank you for the best day ever that was most definitely worth the wait xxx

I found our venue for our wedding online and saw the reviews for Sonhoadois wedding planning services. I emailed them and got a quick response to get booked in for a video call. We were linked up with Noelia and from the very beginning she was so committed to helping us plan our wedding. We had our first video call and I couldn't believe how much information we were given about the venue we were looking at. We quickly settled on a date for the wedding in Portugal and went from there. Noelia always responded to us so quickly and even those last minute emails panic booking fireworks everything was sorted for us. We arranged to go to Portugal in November for a make up trial and food tasting and we couldn't believe the treatment we received. Noelia arranged to pick us up from the hotel and took us to the food tasting where we were spoiled with food and drinks. It was my husbands birthday and Noelia even arranged for candles and a cake for him at the venue. Noelia took her time to sit with us and chat through the food tasting and took down notes for us. We were then taken to the florist where we discussed everything and Noelia was great at helping communicating my vison for the flowers. I didn't feel stressed during the whole process as Noelia and the team were always there to support us in everything we needed and made everything such an easy process from Belfast to Portugal. Then came the wedding day and it could have not went any more better than we hoped for. The WHOLE DAY was organised right down to every little detail and it couldn't have went any more smooth. My dad even left something at the hotel and Noelia drove him back to get it. All of our guests said they had never been to a wedding like it and they couldn't believe how smooth the day went. There was no point at the day where guests were left standing waiting around. We even booked in five minutes after the ceremony to take to ourselves and Noelia subtly came and got us an ensure we had this time alone. It was also my mums birthday and last minute I asked Noelia to get a cake organised and she done this with no problem. I can't describe how well everything went, literally NO complaints at all. I fully recommend Noelia and the team Sonhodois. The service is very personal as well, you don't feel as you are just another wedding for the team but Noelia got time to know us. Thank you again to Noelia and the team for everything and making our day perfect.

In all honesty, there simply are no words that can do justice to just how amazing the team at Sonho a Dois are but I will try my best.

A wedding abroad was always our dream but like most people, we had no idea where to even start. Luckily for us, we came across Sonho a Dois through Google and from those very first emails to Carla in late 2021, right up to our absolutely perfect wedding day on 14th September 2023, we could not have been happier with the service and expertise.

We provided some brief details in our initial emails and Carla immediately arranged a video call with us (at a time that suited us). It was on this call that we knew we were in good hands, we agreed 4 or 5 potential venues and informed Carla of the dates we would be flying over to Portugal to try view these venues. Carla contacted each venue to arrange a viewing and made herself available to collect us from our hotel and bring us to each venue while absolutely refusing to take any money from us for the full day of her time that we had taken up. Having viewed the venues we immediately knew which one we wanted and once we let Carla know, it was like a magician going to work as she had both the venue for our ceremony and our meal etc. confirmed within a week. Not only that but we got the date that we had really wanted.

A lot of details were then handled on emails / messages where we always felt like an absolute top priority as we would have responses in record time. Roll around our second and last trip to Portugal prior to the wedding for the food tasting and once again we felt like VIPs with being collected and brought to meet the florist, where we had am endless nunber of options that all came with Carla's expert opinion and advice. The food tasting was then exceptional and Carla took detailed notes throughout that actually helped us make our final decisions on the menu to be used.

There is genuinely too many small details to go through on here but absolutely everything was handled with speed & care by the team at Sonho a Dois.

Then came the big day, from making sure the photographer was with me (the groom) on time to ensuring the buses for the guests were on time and the guests were all comfortable to all the small details that made our wedding the absolute best day of our lives. I cannot stress this enough but everything and I mean EVERYTHING ran so unbelievably smooth on the day that it is only now, when it is all said and done, that we can appreciate just how stress free our day was made to be. We cannot thank Sonho a Dois enough for the perfect, once in a lifetime memory that they helped us obtain.

Carla, you are a diamond and we will forever be grateful for the magical day you created for us.

If you are thinking of getting married in Portugal, then please trust me and do not go with anyone other than the incredible team at Sonho a Dois.

Joana and the team at Sonho A Dois went above and beyond for us throughout our wedding planning journey!
From the minute we first spoke I knew Joana wanted us to have the perfect day and she captured the exact vibe that we wanted because every suggestion she gave us suited our taste and fit in with our plans. Our emails were answered so efficiently and we made tow visits to Portugal and as son as we sent our dates to Joana she was able to make herself available to meet with us. We had many phone calls and video calls to discussing how plans were progressing and she was so organised and on top of everything, we never had to worry. Joana also gave us honest opinions and tips to make the most of our budget and still create our dream day. In the early months we had a location drama and Joana was so calm and resolved our problem right away, she had anticipated all issues and we ended up in somewhere even better and more special to us!
We have made a friend for life and cannot express in enough words how grateful we are and cannot recommend Sonho A Dois highly enough and I have already recommended to friends at home who are looking to get married in Portugal!

We had Carla as our planner and from the first exchange of emails right up until the final moments of the wedding itself she has been organised, responsive, understanding and so helpful.
The last few months approaching the wedding and even on wedding day morning, I had no nerves or stresses. Carla and her team have the ability to just take it all away. Their knowledge and connections just make, getting married abroad, so special and easy and I will be forever grateful! You all are the best of the best and we cannot thank you enough!
From the VERY grateful and happy Sam?s! X

Planning a Wedding from a distance of 1800km away should feel like a daunting task but when you have Carla and the team at Sonho a Dois, it felt straight forward. We can't thank Carla enough for all that has done for us in planning and orchestration our Wedding. She was phenomenal from day one putting us at ease and laying out everything so clearly, her attention to detail is second to none. Comments from our guest that the day felt like something from a movie were a true testament to hard work and ability. We will be forever thankful.

From the first time we met with Carla right through to the wedding one year later, every interaction we had was super professional and high quality. Carla picked us up in her car and drove us to scout venues, gave us advice on locations and vendors and was extremely organised. This was so helpful for an overseas couple getting married in a location we were not familiar with. During the week of the wedding Carla and the team were awesome. The made the day run like clockwork and made sure everyone had a great time. Great responsiveness, knowledge, experience, professionalism and support. Our wedding would not have been the same without the team at Sonho

We want to start by saying a huge thank you to Noelia at Sonho a Dois. We had such a great experience and made memories that will last a lifetime. Noelia was recommended by our piano player Leandro and everyone we spoke to said she was the best in the business. Noelia couldn?t have done enough for us. The planning process was made so much easier by having regular zoom calls to discuss our choices, ideas and questions. Her advice and experience was extremely helpful. Noelia works really hard to ensure you have the perfect day by dealing with suppliers, the venue and best of all, she takes care of all of the finer details. Noelia took the stress out of wedding planning and made it all a much more enjoyable and exciting experience. Nothing was a problem for her to arrange and the wedding day itself ran very smoothly. We can honestly say that our wedding day was the best day of our lives and that is all down to Noelia bringing everything together. We really miss having our zoom calls with Noelia and every dealing that we had with her was always so happy, fun and positive.

I genuinely can't even begin to put into words how much Sonho a Dois means to myself and Chris. We started our wedding journey with Carolina and from that very first email we just clicked! I got such a buzz with every email coming through as it was just like having the craic with a friend! Organising the wedding felt like online shopping, the layout of Sonho a Dois website is so easy to use and literally has everything you need! We found all of our vendors through their website. Carolina booked them all saving us all of the stress and laguage barriers.
Unfortunately Carolina is no longer with Sonho a Dois but hopefully she will be back soon and I really hope she knows how much she meant to us.
Carla took over from Carolina and she was a woman on a mission! No request was too big or too small and again from the moment we met her we loved her!! She has the most calming nature which is a delight to be around! I was so calm the whole day of the wedding and that was purely down to Carla. I knew I didn't have to worry about anything as she had everything under control and it all ran so smoothly. The biggest piece of advice I was given before our wedding was to not let the little things that haven't gone to plan ruin the day but I can honestly say that there wasn't a single thing that went wrong. Our wedding exceeded our expectations 100 times over again purely down to Carla keeping the show on the road and making all of our dreams come true ( I know that sounds cheesy but it is genuinely what she did for us)
Words will never be enough to show our gratitude to Carla but if you are thinking of hiring a wedding planner in the Alrgarve you will not regret your choice in Sonho A Dois!

What can we say, it was the most amazing day of our lives and that's all down to Carla and the team at Sonho a Dois.
From the first day we met in 2019 we knew that they were the team for us. Everyone was so friendly and so helpful with all our weird and wonderful requests. Nothing was too much trouble!
Unfortunately like many other couples, we ended up postponing a year due to Covid but the team had everything covered and within a couple of days we had a whole new date planned.

We chose Monte das Oliveiras for our ceremony and reception. It's the most amazing venue - The food, staff and location are second to none! All of our guests were in awe of how amazing everything was. Sandra was there with us on the day and everyone commented on how lovely she was. Everything went perfectly and I have no doubt this was down to Carla's meticulous planning!

We have no hesitation in recommending Sonho a Dois, they really are the best in the business!

Where do we start? When we decided to get married in Portugal my cousin mentioned that his friend got married there and used these really good wedding planners so he got in contact with them and we then started speaking, the quick responses were impeccable. We then attended a wedding fayre run by sonhos a dois where we finally got to meet Sandra in person. She went through all the things with us and we found our dream wedding location. She was always so caring and helpful when I was panicking about certain things she would reassure me that everything was fine and under control. We went over to Portugal for our wedding tasting in March and was made to feel so special. Nothing was ever too much. Finally we got married on 2nd September 2022 and the day ran so smoothly and we had the best day of our lives. The week leading up to the wedding Sandra was always messaging and checking in on us all. All our family and friends said it was the best wedding they had ever been too. We would like to say a massive thank you to Sandra who took charge of everything to make sure this was the best and we couldn?t have done it without her. Thank you to all the team also at sonhos a dois. We will 100% recommend you to everyone getting married in the algarve.

I would also like to add I had a operation in February and Sandra sent me such a lovely message to wish me good luck and was always checking in on me afterwards- they aren?t just wedding planner they are friends and careers

I cannot express in words how thankful I was to find Sonho a Dois when starting to plan our wedding. The amazing Sandra couldn't possibly do more from the first day I made contact. She is so incredible at what she does and we are so lucky to have had her help. She made all the planning a very enjoyable experience and her attention to detail is impeccable.
On the day of our wedding we knew we could relax and enjoy the day with our guests as Sandra was there and I have to say it was the most perfect day from start to finish. I could not have done it without all her hard work and support. I would highly recommend these amazing wedding planners !!!!
We will be forever grateful

Well, where to even start, back in February 2020 I met Sandra and the team in Manchester at a wedding fair. I had previously met Sandra when she had planned my friend?s wedding 6 years before and we automatically clicked again as she could remember me as my friend?s bridesmaid.
Fast forward two years to the most amazing day ever and it would not have been possible without Sandra. The communication over the last two years has been exceptional, I have known all throughout the process what was required from us and any questions I did have Sandra was there to answer straight away.
Sandra wasn?t just our wedding plan, she became a friend of ours, meeting for coffee when we were over in Portugal to keep us updated on everything for our special day and sharing her expertise and knowledge with us.
The day could not have run any smoothly and all our guests commented on how well organised it was and how amazing Sandra was. Commenting that nothing was ever to much trouble for her and that she wanted to make sure that everyone had an amazing day not just the Bride and Groom.
Sandra, from me and Ashley we will never be able to Thank you enough for making our special day so amazing and memorable, not just for us but also for our beloved guests.

Lots of Love, Mr and Mrs Woolliscroft

We decided to get married in Portugal the minute we got engaged but we weren?t sure would we be able to plan from Ireland.
I didn?t know our wedding could ever be so perfect until I found Carla and she made it all possible.
I also didn?t know that I needed Carla until I met her a few months before covid hit.
From start to finish she has guided and helped us plan our dream wedding.
Carla is amazing at her job and goes above and beyond her role as a wedding planner and becomes a friend also.
She truly looks out for her couples and puts them first.
All our guests were blown away by our wedding and it is all thanks to Carla and Sonho a Dois.

We got married at the lady of the rock followed by reception at Monte Das Oliveiras. The venue was just amazing so beautiful. so relaxed, the food and drinks were plentiful.
I can only hope that I get to attend another wedding planned by Carla and her team in the future.
Thank you Carla.

I cannot recommend these girls enough. From getting in contact with Carla 2 years ago, she went above and beyond for us in every aspect. I am not the best at decision making and it?s safe to say I could not have done this without her. She was so helpful with everything and even with things that had nothing to do with her. We went over in March for our food tasting and Carla collected us from our hotel and brought us out for the day. We visited lady of the rock and the villa we were going to be staying at. Nothing was too much trouble for her. They are very precise and particular on the wedding day and it works. Our day was flawless and everyone commented on how smoothly the day went. I cannot thank the girls enough for everything and they were by far the best money we spent. They are the best!!!!

WOW WOW WOW

I have no idea where to start! This team of wedding planners are WONDERFUL

If you are trying to plan your wedding and looking for a team to help you! This is the team ! Trust them!

I had Sandra as my wedding planner and I first got in contact with her in 2019, from start to finish she has been amazing, she helped me find our perfect wedding venue and reception.
She helped me with ideas and I appreciated when she suggested ideas which could work better.

My wedding was meant to be in 2020 but had to be postponed because of Covid19. She was so helpful rearranging my wedding and always kept positivity high.

We had our dream wedding on 31/05/22 and Sandra made everything Happen!
She helped keep me calm the week leading up to it, with my Constant messages and phone calls worrying about things going wrong or worrying about rain. She was always there to keep me smiling.

Everything went perfectly to plan on the actual day.
Sandra is so considerate, motherly and just a joy to be around- she has the biggest smile
I feel I have made a friend for life- I?ll never forget you

Thank you so very much

Love always
Chloe & Daryl

We got married in the Algarve in May 2022 following a 2 year delay thanks to covid! We chose Sonho a Dois to be our wedding planners after meeting them in Manchester way back in early 2019. Our wedding planner was Sandra and as soon as we met with her we knew instantly that we were in the best hands. From start to finish everything was flawless. Ultimate professionalism, amazing local knowledge and contacts, and the biggest hearts in the business! Sandra was outstanding, nothing was too much trouble, she was always on hand to answer any questions, check in and see how we were doing, make valuable suggestions and give us sound advice. After being in contact for over 3 years, Sandra has not only been our wedding planner but we feel like she has also become our friend.

The wedding day itself went without a hitch! It truly was the best day ever and we will forever be grateful to Sandra for everything she did to help make our wedding day just perfect! In fact one of our guests was actually an events planner herself and she was in awe of everything, in her words ?it?s amazing, it?s been absolutely faultless?

Anyone thinking of using Sonho a Dois, I promise you won?t be disappointed. We wish we could do it all over again! With love, Mr & Mrs Corbett (and Prince Oliver!) xxx

We got married May 12th 2022 in the beautiful Algarve. We had our ceremony at Lady of the Rock and celebrated further at Monte das Oliveras.
Our planner Carla was amazing.
Carla was the best, nothing was too much of an ask, she answered the many many questions I had all the time!!!! Carla kept in contact keeping me updated and informed at each step in planning. Carla sent me (much needed) reminders and provided me with many options!
All I can say is WOW!!!! . It exceeded all our expectations!! Carla went above and beyond to create the long awaited wedding of our dreams. I couldn't recommend Sonho a Dois more as it was because of their skills, passion and experience that ensured that everything went off without a hitch and so beautifully too!
A Big thank you to Carla x

Noelia was amazing from start to finish. Don't know what we would have done without her. She made our wedding day even more amazing then i thought it would be.

I?ve tried to write this review so many times I?ve found it so hard to put into words what the girls at sonho a dois did for us. There isn't enough thank yous I could say to show how grateful we are. My beautiful wedding planner Joana was an absolute earth angel , from the day we met her till the day we said goodbye she could not do enough for us. Getting married abroad was always a dream of ours but Joana made that day like a fairytale something I couldn?t of done by myself . The girls here make sure your day goes exactly to plan , there was not a moment in the day we?re I was worried that a mistake would be made or something wouldn?t go to plan. They were on top of everything including the timing everything ran so smoothly. From the day I first arrived to look at venues everything was done for us, I just gave an idea and next minute it was a reality . If you are a couple getting married in the algarve you need these wedding planners . I could not have had the wedding I did without these girls , if you are undecided about getting married abroad DO IT!! You will not be disappointed and like me you will cry happy tears every time you think of your big day .
Muito obrigado Joana and all the team

Wow - what can I say? Only that if you are getting married in the Algarve don?t do another single thing until you book Sonho a Dois! They are beyond AMAZING!
We are still on cloud nine three weeks after our most amazing day (or days as Noelia not only organised our wedding but also our pre drinks reception and Day 2 barbecue). All of our guests are raving about all 3 events.

Our journey with Sonho a Dois began back in 2016 when they were recommended to me by a colleague who had attended a wedding organised by them. When I told him we were considering getting married in Portugal he wrote the name ?Sonho a Dois? on a post it and told me to book them immediately! The same gentleman has pretty exacting standards so I knew if they were getting such an emphatic thumbs up from him that they must be good!

And so it began! We flew to the Algarve and met the lovely Carla who patiently showed us venue after venue until we hit on The One (or so we thought!). After provisionally booking a date for 2017 we then changed our minds and decided to postpone the wedding as we were buying a house. Carla was so understanding of our decision. Fast forward to 2018 and we were ready to go again and so we got back in contact with the guys in Sonho and this time the amazing Noelia was our planner. The venue we had initially chosen was suddenly less accommodating to what we wanted and so Noelia suggested a new venue to us that had come on the market since we had last visited ? Monte das Oliveiras. When she said she thought we would love it she wasn?t wrong! It is simply magnificent!

We met with Noelia in person in Dublin, and on zoom and then we flew out to Portugal in early 2020 to finalise everything and it was all systems go for our wedding date in October 2020. Until Covid came along and once again we had to postpone! It must have been an incredibly stressful time for Noelia and the guys in Sonho and everyone in the industry but Noelia never let us see that. She was the epitome of calm and somehow managed to move our wedding to the same date this year without us having to change or lose a single supplier.

In the run up to the wedding this year she was just amazing ? giving me a push when I needed it to make decisions, accommodating my MANY requests, patiently answering all my questions and just being so calm and lovely throughout the whole process.

The day itself was just out of this world ? the venue Monte das Oliveiras is fabulous ? the staff were amazing and the food was just incredible ? we had a fully vegan menu and it is testament to the chefs that all of our guests (mostly non vegan!) absolutely loved it. The decor, flowers and bouquets from Oura Flores were all simply stunning. Our car from Vintage Cars was a hit with everyone. Our lovely celebrant Guillaume made the ceremony so special. Our guests are still raving about the amazing entertainment from Glam Duo, Nicole Silver Band, DJ Dhanny and Mr Sax, and our dancefloor and selfie mirror from Memory Box. The dancefloor was full all night! Our photographer Marco Torre and videographer Alex from Algarve Films were fantastic, such lovely guys who went over and above to document our great memories of the day. Chloe Davis and Joanna from Jar Studios did a brilliant job on the hair and makeup. It was a wonderful day from start to finish.

The guys from Monte das Oliveiras also catered our barbecue at our villa the next day and DJ Dhanny played again for us. All of our guests said it was so good it was like another wedding! We held our pre drinks reception the night before at Castello di Norcia, another beautiful venue with great food. We had the most magical time and our guests can?t stop talking about what an amazing experience it was for them too. I can?t stress enough how this was all down to Noelia?s hard work ? she is just amazing! Nothing is too much trouble, there is no problem she can?t solve and she is just the loveliest person. So if you are thinking of getting married in the Algarve just go ahead and book Sonho a Dois ? you will be in the best hands and they will make sure your special day is out of this world! Thank you guys so much for everything x

I can?t even begin to explain how much Carla and the team at Sonhoadois have impacted our lives over the last two years. Our Wedding day was absolutely perfect but their support and planning started long before that.
When we originally decided on marrying in Portugal, I had spoken to a few different Wedding planners, none of who seemed to understand our vision for the wedding. From the minute I spoke to Carla at Sonhoadois, I knew she was the perfect fit for us. She read my mind from the first conversation and came back to us with some amazing options for our Wedding, one of which ended up being our dream venue.
Over the last two years, Carla was incredibly generous with her time, always responding to my emails/texts in a timely manner no matter what the question. She was extremely supportive and understanding and always enthusiastic about our love.
Planning a wedding during a pandemic was not easy but Carla took out most of the stress wherever possible. It can?t have been an easy time for her or her team but she never complained and never failed to deliver (no matter how many times I changed my mind)
Carla was always available to us and in the rare instance she wasn?t ( busy at another Wedding) her team would always respond in her place.
Having her there on our Wedding day was so incredibly special for us and meant we never had to stress or worry about any of the details.
For any brides looking for a planner in Portugal, trust me when I say there is no need to waste time searching like I did. You will not be disappointed if you choose this amazing team ??

The best day of our lives was made possible by Carla and her team from Sonho a Dois. Everything was arranged the way we wanted it to be. We were probably one of the most chaotic and forgetful couples she has had to work with but she managed to make our day run just about perfectly regardless. Because of Covid, we had to reschedule our wedding for a year. She kept us fully informed of all the updates regarding the number of guests, the qr codes and what not!!! She was very involved and always provided information when we asked for it. Not only that, they are so sweet and patient! Nothing was too much! Our anniversary we will therefore definitely go through Sonho a Dois!!!
Carla and team, THANKS for your efforts! You are worth your weight in gold!
Beijinhos!
Charlyne & Mike

We finally celebrated our big day on 14th?September 2021 and it was the most magical day we could have asked for thanks to Sandra and the lovely ladies of Sonho a Dois.? If you are looking for a wedding planner who goes above and beyond to make your day perfect then you should look no further.? We were lucky enough to have met Sandra twice in Dublin and twice in the Algarve before the pandemic, from bringing us to numerous wedding venues to helping us choose the most amazing suppliers we could not have done it without Sandra! We were blessed to have this beautiful lady as our planner throughout the pandemic because in such an uncertain time she always made us feel like she had everything under control and took the worry away from us.? We cannot count the number of calls, late night video calls, voice messages and emails we had over the past few years but the ladies at Sonho a Dois were always available to take the stress away from us and to bring back the excitement.? Sandra was so invested in our day and is such a genuine person, at the end of the 3 year journey we had with her she has become a truly valued friend whom we know we will stay in touch with for years to come.? This lady will move heaven and earth to make your day special, she even managed to change the weather from thunderstorms to sun on our day to make it special????????? Thank you so much for everything , Bonijinhos Amanda & Se?n xx

From the moment we contacted Sonho a Dois in 2018 we never looked back as we knew they?d be the ones to make our dreams come true.

Carla was so patient with us, and would always come back to us so quickly on things. We had to postpone our wedding twice due to covid but Carla, her team and the wonderful suppliers they work with were able to rearrange everything so quickly.

Our wedding day was perfect and we couldn?t have done it without Carla. ????

Our Wedding Day on the 28/06/2021 was the most special day of our lives and it would not have been possible without the incredible team at Sonho a Dois Algarve Wedding Planners.

From our very first meeting with Noelia, her professionalism and passion for her job were evident and we knew she was the perfect choice to help us plan this most memorable moment in our lives.

Every vision we had was made possible, with no request too big or too small. Our individual preferences and personalities were always taken into consideration and the team suggested suppliers they felt would be the best fit for us, making our day all the more meaningful. Noelia was exceptionally attentive towards us and made us feel like we were always her highest priority. Her efficiency and responsiveness were second to none, with her always being just a text or email away. Despite our original wedding plans being disrupted due to the pandemic, Noelia's patience and dedication never wavered, ensuring all changes were handled with confidence and composure.

We were blown away on our Wedding Day at how everything came together so seamlessly and how present and perceptive Noelia was, meticulous with every detail and helping us in any way possible. Any concerns were dealt with diligently and discreetly, allowing us to enjoy ourselves without a care in the world. It was truly the most magical day we could ever have imagined.

We are forever grateful to Sonho a Dois for making our dream come true and Noelia will always have a special place in our hearts. We cannot recommend Sonho a Dois Algarve Wedding Planners highly enough.

Marisa our planner was fantastic to deal with, very quick to reply to emails and made herself available for Skype calls. Nothing was any trouble. On the day she kept everything running very smoothly while staying in the background

A huge thanks to the team of Sonho a Dois, but Marisa especially, to make sure our big day went so smoothly and was THE best day ever. In the preparations phase she really understood our wishes and needs and made sure she gave us the right input to make the day so special. She really gave us the feeling we could contact her day and night (although we never did ;-)) and responded always so quickly. Even if you have the locations for the day already booked (like we had) it is absolutely advisable to hire Sonho a Dois to make sure all things you never even thought off are arranged as well. We couldn?t have done it without them! Love, Guus & Myrthe

We have loved working with Sonho a Dois the wedding planning took 11 months total and we were lucky to have meant with Marisa in the UK, Manchester early on in the process when they came on their wedding tour.

She gave us lots of information and ideas to think over and we scheduled Skype calls over the following months. They are amazing and very busy during wedding season as our wedding was in Oct at the very end of wedding season we couldn't always arrange appointments as often as we'd have wanted (everyday haha). However email was available at all times,
We worked with only Marisa which was good consistency the whole year long!
She was amazing :)
On the day we had a brilliant time, the wedding was seamless and Marisa wad there all day!
We would do it again with Sonho!

If I could give 10 stars I would!

We had the most amazing wedding day thanks to the lovely ladies of Sonho A Dois. It was an absolute pleasure to have met these ladies who planned our perfect day. Not only are they professional but they are SO friendly and welcoming! We now call them our friends and will keep in touch with them.

We had Sandra look after us, who was so helpful with everything from the paperwork and legal documents to the finer details like the seating plan. They have a wealth of knowledge to advise and suggest on your day as well as knowing the best suppliers in the area.
No task is too big or small.. They will do almost anything to help you! They are organised and on the ball.

But most importantly, they genuinely care about you and making your dream come true. This is all they care about... Making your day perfect. They will get to know your vision so they can make it happen. Once it's all over they are genuinely over the moon for you!

I can't recommend them enough if you are getting married in the Algarve. If you are just looking and don't know where to start just contact them!

I highly recommend these guys if you are planning a wedding in the Algarve. From our first meeting we knew we were in good hands. Sandra was born to do this - she is so professional and you can tell she has a passion for what she does. Nothing was too much trouble and we knew she would only recommend the best suppliers. Communication was excellent and we were never left waiting for a response. On the day of the wedding, everything was beautiful and ran stress free and if there were any problems I didn't know about them which is how it should be. We really couldn't have asked for more and are so glad that we chose these ladies to plan our wedding - worth every penny!

Myself and Dan would like to thank Carla and the team at Sonho a Dois for helping to make our day not only beautiful, but also for making it run like clockwork!

From the moment we met Carla we were both really impressed! Not only with her warm personality and charm but also the fact she was very comfortable with taking control and helping guide is in the areas we were less sure about. I don't think myself or my husband really realised how difficult it can be to coordinate a wedding abroad and we genuinely could not have done it without Carla's continued help and support throughout the process. In the last few months we spoke almost daily and she always responded quickly even when she was on her days off.

The suppliers she introduced us to were perfect and fit exactly the style and standard we had hoped for when planning the day.

She guided us through all of the legal aspects including taking us to the registry office prior to the day to ensure all was official. This was a god send as I am not sure our Portuguese would have got us through that bit!!

The day itself was spectacular and Carla was there from first thing in the morning until later at night ensuring all suppliers and organisation were managed with military precision to ensure we could focus on getting ready for the main event.

I am not sure there are enough superlatives to really sum up what we thought of Carla but I am certain we couldn't have done it without her. I looked at a couple of other wedding planning service providers in the Algarve before we chose Sonho a Dois and its definitely the best decision we made! 10/10!!

Our guests are still talking about how incredible the flowers and food were and the registrar absolutely made the day for us.

Thank you all and especially Carla xxx

AMAZING!! We were delighted to use the wonderful services of Sonho a Dois to create our magical day in July 2018. I cannot more highly recommend this team of professionals. When we started the process of planning a wedding in the Algarve we found it a little daunting. Friends who had previously been married in the Algarve recommended Sandra from Sonho a Dois to us. From our initial call with Sandra, we felt at ease and she took all the worries of planning a wedding abroad away from us. Sandra asked us everything about what we hoped for from our day and provided us with options that were exactly what we were looking for.
Sandra emailed us a variety of bands, DJs, photographers, videographers, etc and provided informed advice. We had so many calls with Sandra where she provided us with advice on anything from where our guests should stay to the best way to send things to the Algarve. Every small detail was taken care of and it was invaluable to get advice from someone organising weddings in the Algarve every day.
Sonho a Dois made our planning so much easier by flying to Ireland. We were given an appointment and were able to meet them and all the suppliers we had chosen in a very relaxed setting. It really helped with making decisions about flowers, photographer packages, etc. I was also able to have hair and make up trials there. We came away from that day so excited about our wedding day.
We didn?t necessarily need to fly over but we chose to. Sandra collected us and drove us to all the venues we wanted to see. Nothing was rushed. From the start, Sandra was the ultimate professional but was also so friendly and excited about our day. It was more like having a friend show you around. She organised second hair and make up trials. She also drove us to the florists and food tastings and made everything so relaxed and fun. Our families had joined us for the tastings and were so impressed with everything she did for us.
I cannot stress enough how amazing it was to have the team from Sonho a Dois with us on the day of the wedding. I had no worries about anything going wrong as I knew they were on hand to look after every small detail. On the morning of the wedding, Sandra called with the button holes and bouquets and was around to ensure everything was running smoothly. We had organised buses for our guests and the team from Sonho were at the pick up point and at the venue to greet the guests. Sandra and the team were literally with us from first thing in the morning until the last guest left the venue. I cannot begin to describe how perfect the day was. I would not change a thing. After the wedding, guests all commented on how amazing Sandra was and it was only then that I found out all the little details that she taken care of on the day without me even knowing.
We couldn?t have done it without them. If you are looking to get married in the Algarve, look no further! Ciara & Emmet xx

Exactly what was ordered with an extra topping of amazing!! the most amazing, friendly, professional, nothing too much people you will ever have help with your day.
We contacted Carla and Marisa in August 2017, for our wedding in May 2018 in Portugal. The emails were informative, helpful and reassuring. We visited Manchester where they were in January (they did Dublin previous) and sorted flowers, car, photographer, hair and make up all in one day.
Travelled to Algarve 26th May and the girls were on hand for everything. The day of the wedding Marisa was there on hand for everything professionally and discreetly and everything ran so smoothly and an amazing day had. Thank you ever so much for everything that you did, it made our day so special

I would 100% recommend Noelia and her team, the attention to detail is absolutely brilliant, we were able to get everything we asked for and everything was perfect on the day, the decor, flowers, food....it was so great to have Noelia there looking after everything for us, we didn't have to worry about a thing. Noelia really is fantastic at her job, she knows exactly what she's doing and these girls really do go above and beyond to make sure everything is absolutely perfect Thank you again from Kirk & Roxane, xxx

Our wedding day was truly magical and beyond our dreams. During the year of planning, we were a bit apprehensive since we lived in the UK and didn?t know exactly what we would get. From speaking to Noelia, we knew immediately that her and her team were the planners for us. She was bubbly, honest and showed a genuine interest in her work and in making our day perfect.
Noelia happily took my wife to the different options of wedding venues and gave us the honest pros and cons of each one. In the lead-up to the big day, she was calm and reassuring in our Skype meetings. She was always positive, always excited and she always paid attention to detail.
However, it was on our big day that we really got to see how amazing her and her team was! We had a large group all travelling in from the UK and beyond. Her and the team seamlessly helped organise everyone getting to the ceremony and reception. To top things off, everything ran so smoothly! And when we did have a little hiccup (due to a mistake of mine), they handled things ever so professionally and Noelia in particular, was very reassuring. To no surprise, things were quickly back to being perfect.
I would highly recommend the Sonho a Dios team, I really couldn?t have seen our big day running as perfectly without them.
Thank you ever so much once again! Much love and regards.

We can not recommend Noelia and the team at sonho a Dois enough!!! They were professional, supportive and amazing from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble and I can not believe the perfect day they gave us. Noelia was just fabulous she ensured we had the most perfect day and most of all without any stress involved!!!
Can not recommend these enough! You won?t be disappointed!!! And if you go the Algarve you have to see this venue it truly is fairytale wedding and meets all expectations and more! The staff are so helpful and wonderful nothing is too much trouble they really make it an enjoyable experience and day!!!

Wow! What amazing wedding planners Sonho a Dois are, from the moment we first met Sandra in June 2016 to be shown around venues to the moment of our big day in August 2017, Sandra could not have done enough for us. Numerous meetings, emails and telephone calls, nothing was ever too much trouble. Not only is Sandra very professional at what she does, she also made us feel very relaxed about everything and will remain a friend for life now.

How Sandra pulled together our amazing day was unbelievable, everything went to plan, it was just what we imagined and more. Sandra's recommended suppliers (Music & Entertainment, Photography, Videographer, Flowers & Decor) were all great recommendations and they were all outstanding, they all worked so well together. We we're looked after so well right from the start.

We have already had amazing comments from our guests about how fabulous the wedding was, how they loved our venue, how beautiful the food was and how it was the best wedding they have been to, it really was a day everyone will always remember and this was all with the help from the fantastic Sandra.

Sonho a Dois were recommended to us, and we would have no hesitation recommending them to others. If you are thinking of having your wedding on the Algarve, don't think twice, follow your dream, because this will be your dream come true. These planners take the stresses out of any wedding planning. A big thank you to Sandra and the team at Sonho a Dois. Love from Michelle & Steve, the new Mr & Mrs Pugh xxx

Excellent, excellent, excellent...I really can't say enough how wonderful Sandra from Sonho a dois was. She helped with every single part of our wedding, from finding the venue to all the minor details and made it the most wonderful day ever, without her we never could have done it. If you are considering getting married in the algarve don't look any further than Sonho a Dois, we would 110% recommend them.

Thank you Carla for helping us organizing our wedding! We really enjoyed every second of it!
Thank you for taking the time to always answer our questions and be available.
We had the best time ever!

We used Sonho A Dois Algarve Weddings as we wanted to take the stress and pressure off of organising our own wedding abroad. We were so right in our decision. Carla, an employee of Sonho A Dois and our personal wedding planner couldn't have made our lives any easier.

All of the difficult complicated paperwork and translations were not even an issue. Carla was on hand what felt like 7 days a week. She was quick to respond to me and had so many solutions if we had the slightest of problems with anything.

The companies that Carla found for us for our other services (photographer, catering etc) were top quality and represented her own company and judgement very well.

If you are getting married in the Algarve, I wouldn't hesitate to get in touch with Sonho A Dois - the price was very reasonable compared to other companies and it is excellent value for money for the service that is provided.

We can't thank Sandra at Sonho a Dois enough for all her help to co-ordinate our wedding in Portugal. Having booked the venue first ourselves we initially only sought their services to help with the legal side of things as being UK citizens we felt it would just make things easier. Sandra ended up being a constant source of help to us. She would reply to all my queries within a matter of minutes sometimes even when they did not necessarily warrant a quick reply. We got married legally in Portugal which required us to provide a number of different documents at specific times to meet deadlines. Sandra ensured we knew what needed to be provided & when. She took us to meet the registrar prior to our wedding at the council offices in Albufeira.
Sandra recommended a florist and co-ordinated this visit also, picking us up and taking us to meet her whilst on a visit out to Portugal prior to the wedding. Every query we had went through Sandra at Sonho a Dois. It was all very smooth and efficient.
On the wedging day itself Sandra was here, there and everywhere for us. She delivered buttonholes & corsages to 3 different places in the afternoon. She helped the florist set up the venue, laying out name places etc we had made. She was there to greet John & the registrar & then there to meet me before I walked down the aisle.
I wasn't sure I needed a wedding planner at first especially as I thought my wedding was fairly low key but because it was abroad and I was quite detached from a lot of things having Sandra was so re-assuring. I'm so glad we decided to use their services and I really don't feel we could have done it without them. We had the best day ever & we will always be so grateful.

Thanks to Sandra at Sonho a dois we were able to have the wedding we had dreamed of. From day one she was there to help with every aspect of planning and took all the stress away of planning a wedding. I can't thank her and everyone else at Sonho a dois enough for all their hard work. I would recommend them to anyone looking at a wedding abroad, The whole experience was amazing ending with a perfect wedding.

The girls at Sonho A Dois are the best you will ever find. Noelia looked after me and my new wife like we were the most important people ever. Everything we asked for she sorted wiothout fail. She provided us with the most magical day we could ever have asked for and provided memories forever. She really has become a good friend to us and we will forever be grateful for what Noelia and the team have done for us.

From the moment that we decided to get married in Portugal and contacted Sonho a Dios in June 2015 (after reading all the fantastic reviews), nothing was ever too much trouble for Sandra and even during our stressful times, she would make recommendations when we couldn't decide about things and would keep reassuring us that everything would be okay. Any problems that's arose, Sandra dealt with. We met Sandra in Portugal in September 2015 to look at venues and discuss our thoughts for our big day - Sandra worked tirelessly through things so that we could have the day that we wanted. Everyone that Sandra recommended from the venue, caterers to the florist, DJ, photographer and the registrar were perfect!
Everything went to plan on the day - it was so well organised even down to the timings. Sandra made sure we were both as relaxed as we could be on the day and was running between the 2 hotels to make sure that we were ok.
We had the best day of our lives and didn't want it to end. All our friends and family said it was the best wedding that they had been to, down to every little intricate detail
We now have a friend for life in Sandra.
Such professionalism and organisational skills from Sandra, her team and the florist - what a fantastic group of people. Wouldn't hesitate in recommending Sonho a Dios to organise your wedding in Portugal - they are brilliant!

Sandra was our wedding planner and from start to finish she did an amazing job. Nothing was too much, as soon as I had any questions regarding the planning she replied straight away. The day went without any problems and all off our guests enjoyed the wedding. Sandra made an effort to meet all guests and everyone loved her. We cannot thank her enough!!

It was really helpful that before my wedding I had the chance to meet Noelia three times before the wedding; twice at the wedding fair in Manchester and once me and my husband flew over to wet her and do our food tasting.
Noelia couldn't do enough for me and my husband, she picked us up and took us to sort out the wedding papers and took us to our venue. The week before the wedding I felt I should have been running round doing all kinds of jobs, but everything was under control by the team. All the stress was taken away from wedding planning and the day was more than perfect! All my family commented on the professionalism of the team and how perfect the day was thanks to everyone at Sonho a Dois. I can't thank you all enough!

We arranged our wedding through Noelia at Sonho a Dois, we first met in January 2016, she was very welcoming and managed our expectations well from the outset.

Noelia helped set up our budget very quickly and it only increased because it was added to by ourselves, the items allowed for originally all came within budget.

Noelia?s understanding of the English language is also very good, which helped massively for a Portuguese wedding as we do not understand the language.

For every element of the wedding such as venue, food menus, DJ, photographer etc we were given numerous options to help make our decision.

Noelia was very understanding and accommodating when we changed our minds on certain things and communicated with us proactively and clearly at all times.

Noelia always kept us informed with developments in relation to the daytime plan for the wedding day so we knew what to expect.

Formal matters such as issuing of birth certificates, passport details and meeting the registrar we were guided on very clearly to help this side of things.

Noelia was also very helpful when it came to options for potential extras, we had some letters that stated LOVE and an ice cream cart for the children, no extras were added until we were happy with what we were getting for the price and our budget was taken into consideration at all times.

Two days before the wedding we were taken to the venue where we finalised things such as locations of tables, where decorations would go etc, no detail was an inconvenience.

The wedding day itself was perfect and so well co-ordinated from the flowers being delivered to the bride, co-ordinating our guests to where they should be before the ceremony to the speeches / dinner.

The venue of the Alba Suites was stunning, the staff were very polite and the food was excellent. The photographer, DJ, Registrar and Childrens entertainer were all brilliant too.

With the exception of our daughter being born, our wedding was the best day of our lives and in a part of the world where we wanted it, simply speaking it wouldn?t have happened without the help of Noelia and Sonho a Dois, for that we could not recommend them highly enough.

Mr and Mrs Hamer

Words cannot express my gratitude for Sandra of Sonho A Dois. My wedding exceeded my expectations and created life long memories for my husband and I and our guests. When we met Sandra her sunny disposition instantly confirmed that we were in good hands and gave us every confidence that she would plan our day to perfection. Sandra took us around a few venues and quickly secured our date once we decided on Sao Rafael Atlantico.
We had a vague idea on our expectation for the wedding from d?cor to schedule etc and Sandra was able to transform our small ideas into what ended up being an intimate, fun filled, beautiful day. No request was too big to be dealt with and she always came back with options that eventually fitted together perfectly.
A lot of assistance was offered in regards to the legal documents required and we were kept well informed throughout the whole process. Sandra was present on the day shuttling between my now husband, guests and myself to ensure that everything was on track. She was also able to deal with my last minute bridezilla request and kept me at ease in all aspects of the day including the weather. Sandra?s close attention to detail and fabulous organizational skills were also noticed by our guests including my Mother who still speaks highly of her. Her presence during the day gave my husband and I the comfort that everything was under control which meant that we could then enjoy our day.
I highly recommend the use of Sonho A Dois as they made a significant day absolutely amazing! I will be eternally grateful to them and Sandra.

Attentive, friendly, helpful, efficient, flexible, smiling angels!

Sandra and the rest of the team are so professional and they really do know the Portuguese wedding business. The suppliers (DJ's, Venues etc) that they use are of a very high quality.

It really was one of the happiest days of my life. We had so much fun because we could relax because everything was taken care of.

I cant recommend them enough

My dream wedding became real thanks to Sonho a Dois!
Since the first time we met in Algarve, Carla (from Sonho a Dois) showed to be super friendly and professional - not only she was super easy going, which is good to know that your wedding planner won't be opinianated!, but it was also obvious that she had a lot of contacts in Algarve and could make all our wishes come true.
We found the experience really worth while and it brings you a lot of piece of mind, particularly when you live so far away from the place you are getting married into - she always replied promptly to our emails or texts and she would always find potential solutions for all requests within a couple of days!
The must for me was that every single detail in the big day was exactly as planned - there were no nasty surprises in the day and even things we've chosen by combining different pictures (like table centre pieces) were absolutely like we've requested.
She is also able to give you suggestions on things she's seen in different weddings, if you ask for it and only if you ask for it.
Ours was not a traditional wedding as we got married in the beach, literally in the sand, but throughout planning all was so smooth that it looked like this was being done everyday! The setting was also absolutely gorgeous, looked like it was taken out of a catalogue! Sonho a dois also made sure that the person completing our wedding register was super nice, giving a personal touch to the civil ceremony, as they tend to be very doll!
I absolutely loved my wedding day, it was exactly how I have dreamt and is mainly due to Sonho a Dois! For all they do, it is NOT expensive at all - I would definitely recommend their services to everyone, including any sisters (if I had them!).

We worked with Carla at Sonho a Dois and she was just amazing!
We knew Carla from when she planned a previous family wedding, so consider her more of a friend and cannot recommend her highly enough. She planned the most amazing, perfect day for my husband (still fun to say that!) and I and we really couldn't have done it without her. From beginning to end, she was professional, helpful and just generally incredible, no matter the query, she would always respond to my many, many emails. Carla really was the best support system I could have asked for.
We knew we wanted to get married in Portugal, but had no idea what sort of venue we wanted, Carla showed us various venue options, so that we could decide on the best place for us. I felt like she knew what we wanted before even we did!
So if anyone is planning on a wedding in the Algarve, I highly suggest you go straight to Sonho a Dois!

We planned everything through Sandra at Sonho A Dois.
I can not praise her and her team enough. Everything on the day was perfect. She was a fantastic support and help from initial enquiry through to the end.
All the planning was made easy and our day was over and above what we dreamed it would be
Thank you.

We recently celebrated our union in Algarve by organizing a long weekend of love celebrations with family and friends (August 19-22, 2016).
We live in Dubai and had done our research online for local planners in Algarve. Sonho a Dois Weddings captured my heart from the first response. From the very first interaction the team was very friendly and sweet yet professional and very responsive.
When i met Noelia for the first time a month later in Algarve, I knew i was in safe hands.
in the space of 2 days, we had finished the venue hunting, food tasting and supplier selection for flowers, caterers even photography. The rest was all done thru emails and video calls and she made the whole experience stress free and super enjoyable. I never thought id actually be having fun planning for a wedding celebration :)
Noelia and her team managed to pull 2 outstanding non-traditional events, one by the beach with a bonfire and one in a vineyard, by translating our thoughts and wishes into concrete out of this world evenings that absolutely everyone enjoyed until the last minute. The overall organization was super smooth, quality of service impeccable and agreeable.
All suppliers exceeded our expectations and i could tell it's because of the relationship that Sonho a Dois team had built and nurtured with them. They all cared to provide the best experience to us and we felt we were surrounded by friends rather than suppliers.
I also got a chance to interact with the rest of Sonho's team, all really wonderful women and man, very professional and delightful to work with.
Sonho a Dois weddings are not just a team of event organizers and planners. They offer personal attention with big agency results. Look no further.. it's Sonho a Dois that you want.

Sou & Lella

Me and my husband got married this August in albufiera at the Sao Rafael Atlantico, recommended by our amazing wedding planner, Carla from sonho a dois Algarve wedding and events.
I've been stress free from day one and this experience has truly been enjoyable. Carla helped from day one to the day of the events we held, having a Indian wedding abroad is always going to be difficult but she was able to get us everything we needed to make our wedding day perfect. From flowers, decoration, dj equipment as we brought our own Dj, nothing was ever too much to ask for.
Communicating through emails and a personal visit earlier in the year was all we needed for the 8 months leading up to our big day. Carla gave us reassurance, confidence and always came up with a suitable solution when ever we had any doubt.
Carla wasn't just the perfect wedding planner any bride can ask for but she has become a friend. Even after her work was done at our wedding she came to see us off at the airport the day we left which was truly heart warming.
I would highly recommend Carla at sonho a Dois as she has made my dream wedding a reality and I love her for this.
Thank you from the bottom of our heart

I got married in August 2016 in Albufeira and I highly recommend Carla from Sonho a Dois Algarve weddings to help you plan your wedding in the Algarve! Carla is ever the professional, we simply could not have done it without her. From the paperwork, to the church, hotel, flowers, photographers, video team.. the list is endless. We had the most amazing day of our lives, and everything was perfect from start to finish. Porches church was so beautiful and Sao Rafael hotel was spectacular. Our guests had a day to remember, and so many commented on Carla and her fantastic organising skills! Thank you so much for everything,
Annette & Stephen

I cannot emphasise enough what an amazing experience it has been with "Sonho a Dois Algarve Weddings". I started planning my wedding in January this year and had plans to get married in the Algarve. Since recommended by a friend of ours, I contacted Carla who has ever since been simply incredible.

She made the entire experience seem effortless. I gathered ideas of what I wanted for the cake, the flowers & ornaments to look like and she made it happen. Her answer was always "Yes, we can do it" and she sure did. She had been in continuous contact with me throughout the entire planning stage and was always super responsive. Carla aims for perfection and the wedding day was nothing but perfect!

Carla also made sure that the actual wedding day was as stress free for me as possible and I wish I could go back in time and relive everything all over again.

There had never been a time where I felt stressed and worried about anything. I fully trust Carla and she is by far one of the best professionals I have ever had the pleasure of working with.

I highly recommend Sonho a Dois and their services.

You guys are awesome! Much love for what you have done for us! Thank you..

Ah... and Beijinhos!

We were in contact with Sandra from Sonho a Dois for over a year from England, she made the planning of our wedding both relaxed and stress free! Her help and professionalism through out the whole process could not be beaten, we can't express how thankful we are to Sonho a Dois for literally giving us the best day of our lives! The contact Sandra had with us was excellent, the help with finding a venue, band, meal choice etc was amazing! We really couldn't have organised the day we had with out her!

Excellent friendly wedding planners who made our day perfect and exactly how we wanted It to be. They were always quick to respond to emails and went above and beyond for us, even with our last minute changes. They use a fantastic group of suppliers, our food was the best BBQ banquet we have ever had and the disco with dj tiggy was out of this world!! Thank you so much Noelia, Sandra and co.

We are just getting back to reality after our amazing month away celebrating our wedding in Portugal and honeymoon in Morocco. What a month! Noelia (with Carla and Sandra) from Sonhoadois organised our rustic Algarve seaside wedding to perfection. We had 2 ceremonies (outdoor civil & indoor church), icecream cart, cocktail & canap?s hour outdoors and finally our seaside restaurant reception. We met Noelia in Dublin on 2 occasions, & in Portugal 3 months before the wedding where we saw our venues. Thanks to the endless and relentless emails (she must have the patience of a Goddess!) , everything was finalised which resulted in the most chilled out bride on the day! Blue skies, no breeze, low tide and a full moon- she arranged it all. All our family and guests still gushing about the "surprise after surprise" on the day. Thank you Noelia. Michelle & Adrian.

A MASSIVE thank you to Sonho a Dois. Noelia was our wedding planner, and what an amazing job she did!

We found Sonho a Dois after a recommendation from a Portuguese hotel ? I had not thought of getting a wedding planner, but Noelia has been the BEST wedding planner ever! She has made the journey to our big day a smooth and easy one.

I have found planning our wedding, even with the distance between London and Portugal to be simple. We booked our wedding on the Algarve in September 2015, after advice and guidance from Noelia, despite not having visited the area before. Noelia instantly understood what we wanted, needed and would suit us, and within 3 hours of being introduced to them (by email), we had booked.

We visited the wedding location, and met Noelia, in December 2015. We were not disappointed.

Our wedding on the 1st June was PERFECT. We had the most amazing day, made all the more simple by Noelia, who catered for every eventuality. The location was perfect, the flowers were amazing, as were our photographers - who relaxed us, engaged with us, and understood what we wanted! All our guests were amazed by the wedding, and have not stopped telling us how much fun they had!

I cannot recommend Sonho a Dois and their planning expertise to you enough. They are BRILLIANT! You will not regret a decision to use them as your planners.

From the moment Sandra first replied to me I felt safe in her hands. She was professional, friendly, honest and had a genuine interest in making our wedding exactly what we wanted. She is full of ideas and nothing is too much trouble. By the time our wedding came around Sandra was like an old friend not our wedding planner :-) . The whole time it felt as if Sandra was only organising our special day and no one elses. The time she puts in and attention to detail are outstanding, I can not recommend Sonho A Dois enough. Our day was amazing, we were relaxed and chilled out knowing that everything was being looked after and overseen by such a competent lady. In our eyes the day could not have been any better and many of our guests commented on what a brilliant day it was and how perfect everything was. I would love to take credit but most of it is due to Sandra. She also arranged a next day BBQ for us and our guests in a beautiful venue with amazing fresh food. Yet again this was wonderful, everything went smoothly and the food wow! Sandra was still permanently on hand in case us or any of our guests needed anything at all. The Sonho A Dois team are very experienced and I am sure you couldn't do better than using these caring hardworking ladies to help plan your wedding.

We got married a few weeks ago in the Albufeira, because I have been going since I was nine and completely in love with the place. My problem was as we had an apartment I never knew any wedding locations.

After doing some research online I found Sonho a Dois wedding planners. We were going for a short break in June 2015 so we arranged to meet Noelia, which was the best decision we ever made. We have several email conversations about what we wanted, so she came prepared with some venue ideas. We both thought we knew what we wanted but it turns out Noelia knew what we wanted! We looked at getting married in a private villa!! But on turning up at the CS Sao Rafael Atlantico hotel we both fell completely in love!

From the moment we said yes, Noelia was amazing she helped us book everything. Even down to what we thought was a wacky idea of having a characturist, she had it booked it within hours. The distance is never a problem and Noelia will always reply to any silly questions you have.

When it came down to the actual day, Noelia was there whenever I needed her, it's like she had a second sense that I needed her, but she was always available for our guests as well. She is an amazing person as well as professional.

So again if you want to get married in the algarve please use the girls at Sonho a Dois

Carla was so helpful kind patient and professional down to the last detail. Myself and my husband found Carla easy to talk to at ease in her presence. Also we changed our minds so many times as you would but Carla from sonho a dois was so patient nothing was a chore. Even down to the gentleman Leonard Beard who married us was so pleasant, easy to talk to and adjusted the service to exactly what we wanted. The catering staff who waited hand and foot on ourselves and guests couldn't do enough and the villa where the ceremony took place was so picturesque and well kept. The food was amazing everyone complimented us on how good the food was relaxed atmosphere no pressure just a beautiful family wedding which Carla and her team created for us. I would absolutely 110% recommend this service as it made our wedding day truly magical and one we will always remember.
To.Carla and team thank you so much
With all our love and best wishes
Mary and Lar xxx

One of the best decisions you can make when planning a wedding in the Algarve is by emailing Sonho a Dois. My wife and
I cannot speak highly enough of them. Sandra was amazing from day one all the way through to the big day. We could never
of made the day as special as it was without her help. So many ideas and so many quality reccomendations. All the people
Sandra works with made our day more that we could ever of imagined.
Beijinhos Lewis & Jo

Carla was fantastic and we couldn't have planned our perfect wedding day in Alvor without her! It really helped that she was there throughout the wedding day and made sure everything went smoothly. She helped to organise the range of suppliers for the day and we're really grateful for all her support and guidance- thanks again to Carla and the team. Best wishes, Faye and Mike x

Sandra looked after us from start to finish and was a pleasure to work with. We couldn't recommend their services more and their hard work ensured we had a perfect wedding in the Algarve.

My husband Liam and I celebrated our dream wedding on the 13th of July 2015, surrounded by our family and friends with the amazing back drop of Vilamoura, Algarve, Portugal. We would not have had our dream wedding if we didn't have the never ending, any time help of the amazing wedding planners of Sonho a Dois!! Liam and I already had high expectations when we hired Sonho a Dois after enjoying my best friends wedding in Vilamoura two years previous which the girls also organised. Sonho a Dois did not disappoint, they went above and beyond our expectations. Sandra was the planner assigned to our wedding and from the beginning she was a dream to work with. Sandra was easy to e-mail and before long I did not see her as my wedding planner but also my friend. Some people find weddings stressful to plan when at home never mind going abroad but I can honestly say that we never had one moment of stress and completely enjoyed the whole experience. No matter what I suggested or asked for when e-mailing Sandra she had it organised and booked in no time, Sandra also had loads of suggestions of things we could do or might like and always kept us updated of any progress. When we arrived in Vilamoura for the wedding after countless e-mails we finally met Sandra face to face and it was like greeting an old friend, we felt completely at ease and safe in the knowledge that Sandra had our wedding plans in hand. We also had booked a pre wedding BBQ which our guests are still talking about, suggested by Sandra. It was a great way to break the ice and by the time the wedding day came about our guests were not only in holiday party mode but they were all dying to see each other to continue on the fun of the BBQ. Liam and I got married in the beautiful Estoi Church, followed by ice cream cart outside (another one of Sandra's suggestions which our guests just LOVED) We had our BBQ and our wedding meal and party in the amazing private villa Casa Do Campo. Sonho a Dois work with suppliers of the highest standards and they are the friendliest people we have ever met who aim to make you as happy as can be. I had brought a few personal decorations over with me from Ireland that I had wanted on the day of the BBQ and wedding. Sandra listened to our ideas and on the day of the BBQ and wedding we didn't need to think of anything. My decorations were hung, our visions of our BBQ and wedding day came together perfectly before our eyes and Sandra was there every step of the way, in the background working tirelessly, going above and beyond making sure everything went to plan and our guests had an amazing time. Everyone is still talking about how amazing our wedding was, how they had a brilliant time and it was the best wedding they had ever been to!!! This is all down to Sandra and Sonho a Dois!!! We cannot say thank you enough or recommend them enough to anyone thinking of marrying in the Algarve!! ????????

Thank you Carla for planning and organizing the most terrific day either of us could have asked for. The service you provided to us over the 18 months was beyond spectacular. From venue searching, to arranging florists, the ceremony, photographer, EVERYTHING, we could not have done without you. The day went by so flawlessly and this was all because of you. We kept having to remind ourselves that on the day we need not worry about anything ...you took care of everything and we are forever grateful!

Our family and friends still talk about the day months later as the best wedding they have ever been to and we have to agree =)

Thank you so much for everything you did for us, I would recommend you without hesitation to ANYONE looking for a wedding planner - you are the best.

Beijinhos

After getting married (twice) and attending many weddings, the most important tips I would share with anybody planning a wedding (at home or abroad) are 1: Hire the right wedding planner and 2: Have a dependable babysitter lined up - that's if you have children. These two things will allow you to enjoy your wedding to the full, instead of having to run around working and worrying. Trust me, there is no point having gorgeous flowers and an angelic dress if you are too busy to notice or enjoy them. A good wedding planner is a must because on the day they will do everything you need, it's their job to make your day run smoothly and protect you from any worries or stress. It really was the best investment I ever made.

I didn't realise it until afterwards but so many things had to be smoothed out on my day. My wedding planner dealt with mum in law's hissy fit, missing guests, a registrar under pressure to head to another wedding and who knows what else, beyond all reasonable anticipation or control on the day. But I didn't know any of that until days later, when other family members filled me in! Sandra never mentioned any hassle at all and looked as calm as the perfect blue sky on the day. I just breezed through the most perfect, idyllic day I ever had : if Sandra hadn't been there I know I would have really struggled to enjoy it as I would have stressed out. Not only that, but Sandra's expertise meant the vendors all worked together seamlessly because she had co ordinated them all so well. And they were all really professional and helpful and excellent at their jobs. Even though I am a great organiser (it's my job to organise many events) I could never have managed that at such a geographical remove or without having good Portuguese. I actually suspect it saved money too and definitely saved so much time - but it was very definitely the best money we spent on our wedding.

Now, if you are thinking of parting with hard earned cash on a planner, the next question is which one? The Algarve is brimming with planners all eager to take on business. I spoke to (I think) them all. The team I chose was Sonho a Dois. Initially I gave a budget well below what we had expected to spend to each of the planners I contacted. I told them what I wanted - an idyllic beach wedding, brimming with exquisite flowers, five star service but not stuffy : laid back luxury at its best. My expectations were high. Some of the planners started sending me venues that were triple my budget, others disappeared altogether - as if I was too much work! But it was a calculated move on my part - I wanted somebody who would work with me within budget, not somebody who would pressure me to spend more, not somebody who would judge me on spending power. The girls at Sonho gave me options and recommended the Suites Alba Resort and Spa in Albandeira (on a gorgeous, secluded little beach with a beautiful arching cliff). The hotel's website doesn't do it justice in fact and I turned it down initially - but in quite a brave move Sandra asked me to reconsider, reassuring me that Suites Alba had everything I wanted - superb staff and mouthwatering food as well as the beautiful natural surroundings, and a feeling of privacy and exclusivity. I looked at every single option and read all the reviews on Tripadvisor and dozens of other sites. Eventually I was persuaded to trust Sandra - and she was absolutely right, it was a superb venue with just the right ambience - really great for Irish families, so friendly and all the staff acted as if nothing was too much trouble.

Sandra also helped with all the vendor choices and again her recommendations were spot on. I was so grateful to her for finding and co-ordinating everything so well. The florist exceeded my expectations, providing baskets for our favours (port, pashminas and flip flops) as well as creating the most stunning pink white and peach peony, freesia, bougainvillea and garden rose bouquets for me and my four bridesmaids, white rose corsages for the mum's, peach rose buttonholes for the boys (including a mini one for our little boy). Every pew was decorated with pink peonies and white ribbons, the gazebo fluttering with white muslin pinned back with more peonies. Oh and the dinner tables? Overflowing with even more blossoms bursting from eclectic glass vases. I had said I didn't want too uniform and Sandra had made sure each table was just unique... yet all held together in style. Each table had a Portuguese town as it's name and the guests found their table plan hanging on a delicate almond blossom tree.

So Sandra had the venue perfect. She also had the hair and make up team totally co ordinated. We had extra people needing hair and make up at short notice - taken care of, no problem! We had fussy people who wanted to change their styles at the last moment - no problem! We had a mum of the groom who broke out in cold sores, and got sunburned the day before the wedding - the make up artist somehow managed to hide everything so well the photos look like there was nothing wrong at all. Honestly this could easily have gone so badly (and hysterically! ) wrong, but a dab had with concealer and lots of compliments from Sandra.... and mum in law felt like a princess.

So - still need convinced? Well, Sandra managed to organise a breakfast for my daughter - I hadn't even realised she had missed it on the morning of the wedding. She also made a lovely fuss of her at my hair trial and gave her a full scale trial of her own. Oh and did I mention the fact Sandra gave us heaps of helpful tips on where to shop for groceries and which beautician mum in law should visit in the week of family holiday preceding the wedding? Nothing was too much trouble for Sandra.

Actually, I almost forgot to mention the paperwork, which ought to have been a pain but wasn't - partly because Sandra had adroitly managed the paperwork process (so all I had to do was pop birth certificates and things in the post). In Portugal, she collected us by car and brought us to do the necessary meeting with our registrar. I was very glad that Sandra is a natural networker because the registry office staff were all smiles and politeness to us once they saw her. It was like being VIPs with a security detail - we just sailed through a huge queue of people and, after a flurry of Portuguese was spoken between herself and the registrar, he was so sweet to us and we were finished in no time.

I had said from the start that I wanted a stress free event for me or my family - and my bridesmaids too. I wanted is to have fun and we really did. Nobody had any jobs to do on the day. The bridesmaids didn't even have chores or responsibilities - we all sipped prosecco and giggled and sang songs and laughed and joked together throughout getting ready. It was so relaxed! Sandra came to bring us down to the wedding area and I gave her a huge hug. She didn't feel like a wedding planner,she felt like a friend. She felt like a member of the big happy family gathered around me. Having worked for over twelve months together organising the details, having trusted her judgement and been wholeheartedly delighted with the results she achieved, having not got into any debts thanks to her constant monitoring of my budget... I was utterly stress free and ready to face the happiest moments of my whole life. I was so glad to have her there and that photo of her and me will so be in my wedding album!

So there is not much more to tell about why you should choose Sonho a Dois but, when you call or email them, be sure to tell them I said hello and sent lots of love in their direction. Oh and very best of luck planning your wedding, I hope yours is as utterly perfect as mine was!!!

We came across Sonho a Dois through online recommendation.
As soon as we contacted them they were brilliant with information and helping us organise our dream day.
By the time we went to Portugal to check out the venue we felt like we knew them always in contact with us through email etc.
They are very one on one with you as a couple making you feel special also very professional. They were with us choosing and recommending everything from Flowers, Hotel, Food, Band lots of options. Nothing was a problem and always prompt to respond.
They came with us for the civil ceremony organised the paper work we had nothing to worry about.
They looked after guests arriving for the wedding if they needed transport even down to Babysitters for guests.
For our wedding day Sandra was my wedding co ordinator. She was with me from 9am that morning till 1230 that night. We had nothing to worry about even when venue changed due to weather everything was flawless.
We felt so laidback and able to enjoy the whole experience as everything was in their hands we just picked what we wanted.
We would highly recommend them to create your dream wedding abroad.

Carla was AMAZING throughout the whole run up, and on the day she was always there in the background making sure everything was running smoothly. No question was silly, she was so patient with us the whole time

We would have no hesitation in recommending Noelia at Sonho a Dois. Our day was a fairytale dream come true and she made it all possible. If you are planning an Algarve wedding, look no further!

Charlie & Sam, September 2014
I happened upon the Sonho a Dois website as I was trying to find some way to plan an Algarve wedding from London and it turned out to be the luckiest find I have ever made. A wedding is something that is very difficult psychologically to put into the hands of a stranger and trust can be a major issue, along with the ?foreignness? of the whole thing. Would language be a problem? Do the Portuguese have ways of doing things and looks and styles that I would never want at my wedding? Would the team at Sonho a Dois understand what I wanted and would they be able to create what I asked for? I needn?t have worried because No?lia and her team created a day for us that just blew everyone away. It was amazing and it was entirely down to Sonho a Dois.

The Sonho ladies seem to have some kind of sixth sense and know what you want and what you mean even when you can?t quite get it straight in your own mind. All the suppliers from the caterers to the venue owners to the florists to the photographers to the car suppliers have a huge amount of respect for the way the Sonho team works and are therefore willing to go that extra mile to give them what they, and therefore what you, want. The ones that aren?t willing to do that don?t last long on Sonho?s books.

No?lia and her team took all the stress out of the eight months of planning, even for an impatient control freak like me. No detail was neglected and I never had to chase up emails or information. If No?lia wasn?t available then one of the others would always reply to me so I knew exactly what was happening and never had to worry. The whole process was so easy that I began to worry that I must have missed something but I hadn?t ? Sonho a Dois had it all under control.

On the day of the wedding No?lia and Sandra took complete control and everything ran like clockwork. Amazingly, however, once at the venue they just melted into the background and the only way we knew they were there was because everything was going right. There wasn?t a single thing we had to sort out or think about ourselves because the team had it covered, right down to getting the guests home again at the end of the night, and there were so many little details and extras that No?lia had thrown in throughout the day that it really was a stunning event, the like of which I?ve never experienced elsewhere. I didn?t have to ?settle? for anything ? everything was top quality and genuinely world-class. No compromises, no disappointments. It was perfect.

It?s hard to find the words to adequately convey to a third party how utterly brilliant the Sonho a Dois team is and to reassure anyone trying to choose a wedding planner that you genuinely couldn?t get a better, more trustworthy, more professional group of people than the Sonho a Dois ladies. They are worth every penny (and more, in my opinion!) and really have to be seen in action to be believed. And like lots of other couples have already said (although you always assume this must just be an exaggeration, written while they?re still high on romance), these girls will become friends for life. It?s true. So thank you Sonho a Dois, from the bottom of our hearts. We couldn?t have done it without you and we wouldn?t have wanted to.
