TOP ALENTEJO WEDDING VENUES | TOP ALGARVE WEDDING VENUES
From olive fields, vast countryside estates and eco houses in the Alentejo to gorgeous beaches and villas in the Algarve, this part of Portugal is a dream if you’re planning a destination wedding or elopement.
We’re The Lopes Photography—editorial destination wedding photographers in Portugal, now based in the south. Over the years, we’ve fallen in love with Alentejo wedding venues and Algarve wedding venues and villas that use natural materials, thoughtful architecture and calm, simple colour palettes that photograph beautifully in real light.
In this guide, we’ve curated some of our favourite Alentejo wedding venues and Algarve wedding villas and venues to help you find something that fits your style, whether you’re planning a big destination wedding weekend or an intimate elopement.
Important: we are Algarve and Alentejo wedding photographers—not venue managers or owners. We photograph weddings and elopements at many of these locations, but we don’t handle pricing or availability. To book a venue, please contact the venue directly or work with a wedding planner.
As Algarve wedding photographers, we’re always updating our location guides with the latest and most interesting venues we discover, so you can come back to this list whenever you need fresh ideas.
