Kindly RSVP

If you are a U.S. passport holder, you do not need a visa for short-term travel to Portugal (up to 90 days within a 180-day period in the Schengen Area).

If you hold an Indian passport, you will require a Schengen visa to travel to Portugal. Visa requirements, documentation, processing times, and application procedures may change, so we recommend checking the official Portugal Consulate and VFS Global websites for the most up-to-date information before making travel arrangements.

Stay tuned…

We have an entire wardrobe planner with recommendations under The Details section of our wedding website. (Coming soon…)

We are planning for most of the wedding celebrations to take place outdoors, weather permitting, so that everyone can enjoy the beautiful European sunshine and scenery with the exception of the Welcome Dinner and Wedding Lunch, both of which will be at the Mercatto, an indoor restaurant.

Should weather conditions require it, alternative indoor arrangements will be in place to ensure a seamless experience for all guests.

Sintra experiences pleasant, mild spring weather between April 29 and May 3, with daily highs around 70 degrees Fahrenheit and lows around 55 degrees Fahrenheit.

You can expect a mix of sunshine and occasional light spring showers.

We recommend layering! While afternoons can feel warm and sunny, mornings and evenings can be brisk.

We suggest you arrive promptly at the times each event begins so as to not miss any special moments.

Please contact our wedding planning team, House of Pheras at anitadawson@houseofpheras.com.

Please allow for 2-3 business days for a response.

We recommend booking your flights early, no later than 6 months before the wedding.

As soon as possible! We have a limited number of rooms blocked at a special rate, and they are available on a first-come, first-served basis. To ensure you get a spot and the best price, we recommend booking your accommodations sooner rather than later.

Please RSVP by December 15, 2026.

We can only accommodate guests formally listed on your invitation.

To allow all guests to fully enjoy the wedding weekend, our celebrations will be adults-only. We hope you’ll take this opportunity to relax, celebrate, and enjoy a fun getaway with us. Thank you for your understanding—we can’t wait to celebrate together!

Please email anitadawson@houseofpheras.com outlining specifically your allergies and severity, and our teams will forward that request to our catering team.

Portugal uses the Euro (€). Credit cards are widely accepted in most restaurants, hotels, and shops in Sintra and Lisbon. However, we highly recommend keeping a small amount of cash on hand for smaller local vendors, street markets, or traditional taxis.

Yes! English is very widely spoken in Sintra, Lisbon, and the surrounding areas, especially in restaurants, hotels, and tourist spots. You'll have no trouble getting around, but a quick "Obrigado" (thank you) always goes a long way!

A major pro-tip for Sintra: leave the stilettos at home! Sintra is famous for its breathtaking, historic charm, which means lots of steep hills and uneven cobblestone pathways. We highly recommend wearing block heels, wedges, or dressy flats so you can celebrate comfortably and safely.

Yes, you are welcome to take photos! We only ask that you remain mindful of our professional photographers and videographers so they can get the perfect shots.

Your presence at our wedding in Portugal is the greatest gift we could ask for!

However, if you would like to honor us with a gift, we have set up a honeymoon fund to help us create unforgettable memories on our first adventure as newlyweds. You can find our fund registry here: stay tuned!
