frequently asked questions
[01]Can we book the venue exclusively?
Yes — we offer a full buyout of Portofino (panoramic indoor room, sand terrace and Posto 4 bar), so your wedding and guests have complete privacy.
[02]How do menu tastings work?
Once the pre-booking is confirmed, we schedule a tasting with the couple — starters, fresh fish, aged meats and desserts — so every detail can be tuned to your taste.
[03]Do you have options for guests with dietary restrictions?
Absolutely. Every wedding menu includes dedicated options for vegetarians, vegans, coeliacs and children, to the same standard of freshness and presentation.
[04]What if it rains or the weather changes?
The ceremony and party move seamlessly into the indoor room with panoramic views over Praia do Ouro: the Atlantic stays in the picture, in full comfort.
[05]How late can the party and music go on?
Service and music with a DJ or band can run later under a special noise licence for your date. We handle the whole licensing process.
[06]Is there parking and easy access for guests?
Yes. Parking is next to the GNR station (police post) in Sesimbra. Access is fully step-free, suitable for pushchairs and reduced mobility.
[07]What are the confirmation deadlines and payment terms?
The date is formally held once the contract is signed and the booking deposit paid. Final guest numbers can be adjusted up to 10 days before the wedding.
shall we plan your wedding?
Share the date and estimated guest count. We'll craft a tailored proposal for the ceremony and drinks on the beach.
