Mary & Jonny

Vandelli Botanical Garden, located in the heart of Lisbon, is one of our couples' top choices for destination weddings in Portugal. It was an easy decision for Mary and Jonny, a lovely couple from San Diego who crossed the ocean to celebrate their love in this captivating setting. With its storied Portuguese history and lush greenery, Vandelli Botanical Garden offers a stunning backdrop for couples looking to merge elegance with nature.

Mary is a warm and sweet soul, and Jonny proved to be just as charming. Their wedding day, along with the extra events they hosted, was filled with joy and good energy from family and friends. The celebration began with a sunset party at Carmo Rooftop, where guests enjoyed drinks and canapés against Lisbon's beautiful view. To wrap up the weekend, they spent a relaxed and sunny day at Irmão, one of the trendiest beach clubs in Costa da Caparica—the perfect ending to an unforgettable Lisbon wedding experience.

The conceptual draping and contemporary decor elements elevated the overall design while still complementing the venue’s character. Soft pastel colors and vibrant greens created a natural look, while the addition of anthracite notes added a subtle yet sophisticated twist.

Kind Words
Rita and her team truly exceeded our expectations when it came to the planning and execution of our destination wedding. We were so happy with every recommended venue (…), with every recommended vendor, and most of all, for all of the support through every part of the planning process up until the wedding. (…) Planning a destination from California can be tough, but she made the process smooth and enjoyable.
What I enjoyed most about working with Rita was her attention to every detail, and additional ideas and flare she brought to the overall aesthetic of the wedding. (…) I’ll never forget arriving to the venue and seeing the greenhouse and ceremony set up for the first time. It brought me (and many guests!) to tears. It was such a surreal feeling seeing everything we planned for a year and a half come to life. She helped match the EXACT aesthetic we were looking for. (…) Thank you Rita for helping plan the best day(s) of our lives (…) and for being a friend and source of comfort during a usually stressful time. You truly made our dreams come true!
