My partner and I come from Ireland and we want to get married in Church, but I have heard that this is not possible in Portugal. Can you tell me the situation
I put this question up on behalf of one of my clients as it is a question I was asked last week. I know this is a question that allot of people ask, but sadly at the moment this is not possible in Portugal without first getting married at a registry office normally in your own country before coming to the Algarve for the ceremony. There is an exception if you can prove residency in Portugal for 30 days or more but it is very complicated and time consuming and we do not recommend this course of action. It is much simpler to do the legal and civil part of the marriage in your own country prior to you and your guests coming to Portugal for the ceremony.
Looking for help and information about getting married in the Algarve? Then perhaps I can help, or you may find someone else has already asked the question you need to know about. My company is Algarve Blessings, and I am one of the leading wedding planners in this beautiful region of Portugal. I Hope my knowledge of the Algarve and my experience in wedding planning here can help you get started with your plans.
I have lived in the Algarve for over 30 years and speak Portuguese fluently. I am the official wedding planner for All Saints Anglican Church, though I also work with other denominations. I can’t guarantee to answer every question, but I will do my best to give you accurate advice and answers
