How Much Does It Cost To Elope In Portugal?

Soooo eloping is a pretty fabulous concept right? Just the two of you in your own private wedding bubble, with a gorgeous personalised wedding ceremony, a lack of pressure from other people and a stellar photographer to capture it all.

Of course I will keep harping on about how wonderful Portugal is as a wedding and elopement destination but today we’re going to get into the nitty gritty. The practicalities. Those dollar dollar bills yaaaaaalllllllllll!

First I need to add in my disclaimers when it comes to wedding budgets:

This piece is about averages but like with everything, you are not an average. All final costs depends on our final choices. If you go for a cheaper photographer, you’ll save. If you opt for a hair and makeup artist that isn’t local to your chosen wedding location, your cost may go up.

Please keep this into perspective that these numbers are just guidelines and accurate budget planning can be deciphered for you during the planning process.
