EVENTS
A love note to our friends and family with small children:
Since this is an international wedding and we know it can be difficult to find childcare for your little ones, we’d love to invite children ages 0-3 to join us for the weekend. Small children are welcome for the Friday night event and for any other casual get togethers throughout the weekend. We are requesting a child-free ceremony and reception so that parents can be present for the celebration and enjoy a night off in Portugal. Please contact us directly for childcare information and/or any special circumstances.
THURSDAY, MAY 29
We recommend you arrive in Ericeira on Thursday, May 29th to allow time for delays/cancellations, recovery from jet lag, and to ensure you have time to explore our home base for the weekend - the town of Ericeira! Of course, this is purely a recommendation -- please plan your trip so it works best for you.
We will likely plan an informal event on Thursday afternoon for those who are already settled in town - please check back closer to the wedding for additional information.
FRIDAY, MAY 30
DINNER & DRINKS: 6 - 10pm
ATTIRE: Coastal Bohemian Cocktail Disco
A love note from our budding fashionista, Ryan: “What the hell does ‘Coastal Bohemian Cocktail Disco’ mean? It means semi-formal cocktail attire that invites a flair of colors and/or sparkles. Ultimately the attire is open to interpretation, just have fun with it and don’t show up in a t-shirt.” You can view our outfit inspiration board, here. (Please text Faith with any additional questions)
Come ready to eat, drink, watch the sunset, and share stories with friends and family on the evening before we say, "I do!" Balagan is a Middle Eastern & Mediterranean fusion restaurant located on one of the central beaches in Ericeira, walking distance from all recommended lodging and a short Uber from everywhere else. We will be providing dinner, an open bar, and an open mic for speeches and stories.
CEREMONY: 4pm with dinner & dancing to follow
ATTIRE: Formal (Color encouraged! Please consider cobblestones and a grassy lawn when picking footwear for the evening)
Casa Sacoto, our wedding venue, is a historic home in the Carmões parish, surrounded by vineyards and just 25 miles East of Ericeira. We will be providing shuttle transportation to and from Casa Sacoto on the wedding day. Pickup will be in downtown Ericeira on Saturday afternoon and drop-offs will be offered multiple times later in the evening to accommodate an understandable range of bedtimes. The exact shuttle schedule and pickup location will be posted closer to the wedding date - please check back for updates.
There is parking available at the venue if you’d like to drive, but there will be limited space and the country roads can be confusing so we encourage guests to take the provided shuttle. If you would rather drive yourself to the venue that’s totally fine, please just contact us directly so we can coordinate accordingly.
SATURDAY, MAY 31
SUNDAY + MONDAY, JUNE 1-2
There are no formal Sunday plans at this time - please monitor the website for any updates as we get closer to the wedding weekend. We plan to be in Ericeira and Lisbon for about 2-3 days before starting our honeymoon. For anyone sticking around, we would love to coordinate and see you.
