Portugal has long been one of Europe’s most enchanting wedding destinations. With its golden coastline, historic cities, rolling vineyards and timeless charm, the country offers something truly special in every season.
The truth is simple: in Portugal, there is no single “best” time to get married, since romance lives here all year round.
Spring (March to May): fresh Beginnings and soft Light
Spring in Portugal feels like a promise. The countryside awakens with wildflowers, and orange blossoms scent the air, while temperatures are comfortably mild. This season is ideal for couples dreaming of outdoor ceremonies in gardens, vineyards, or historic estates.
The Algarve begins to glow without the peak summer crowds, Lisbon and Porto enjoy crisp, bright days, and photographers love the soft natural light. Spring weddings often feel intimate and poetic, perfect for couples who value elegance, colour, and gentle warmth.
Summer (June to September): golden days and glamour by the beach
Summer is Portugal at its most vibrant. Long days, golden sunsets, and warm Atlantic breezes create a celebratory atmosphere that feels tailor-made for weddings. Coastal venues shine during this season, especially in the Algarve, where cliffs dramatically meet the sea.
June brings traditional Portuguese festivities, adding local charm, while July and August offer guaranteed sunshine, perfect for sunset ceremonies and al fresco receptions that stretch late into the night.
Tip: For a more relaxed experience, consider early summer (June) or September, when the weather remains beautiful, but crowds are lighter.

Autumn (October to November): warm Tones and quiet luxury
Autumn is one of Portugal’s best-kept secrets. The heat softens, the landscape turns golden, and the pace slows. Vineyards in regions like the Douro Valley and Alentejo are especially magical, offering rich colours and harvest-season romance.
This season is perfect for couples seeking understated elegance, exceptional food and wine, and a more private celebration. The light remains warm, and outdoor weddings are still very much possible, particularly in southern regions.
Winter (December to February): intimate, timeless, and unexpected
Winter weddings in Portugal are intimate, atmospheric, and surprisingly beautiful. While northern regions are cooler, much of the country, especially Lisbon, the Algarve, and Madeira, enjoys mild temperatures and plenty of sunshine.
Historic palaces, boutique hotels, and city venues come into their own during winter, offering candlelit ceremonies, cosy elegance, and a sense of exclusivity. It’s an ideal choice for smaller weddings focused on meaningful moments and refined style.
The truth is simple: there is no single “best” time to get married in Portugal, only the best time for you. Whether you envision a sun-drenched beach ceremony, a vineyard celebration at harvest, or a candlelit winter wedding in a historic city, Portugal offers romance in every season.
