Maarten & Stephanie
We're getting married and we would love to celebrate it together with you in the Algarve in Portugal.
RSVPCeremony, dinner & party
We will be celebrating our wedding in the area of Silves in the Algarve.
A little about each location, what to wear and to expect, below.
Ceremony
An intimate outdoor ceremony in a historic Portuguese location, followed by an outdoor cocktail party between ancient castle walls.
Dinner & Party
As the sun sets, dinner is served at a stunning venue overlooking the beautiful vineyards. While drinks are flowing and the music is pumping, we'll carry on dancing well into the night.
We invite you to dress for a chic and celebratory evening. Black tie is highly preferred, and we warmly encourage the gentlemen to wear a tuxedo — we picture the room with everyone turned out alike, sharing the same elegance. Should a tuxedo truly not be possible, an elegant dark suit is also welcome.
For women, we envision formal eveningwear — elegant floor-length dresses.
We'd love for everyone to embrace the occasion and dress up for a beautiful evening of celebration.
The exact addresses are our little secret for now — a surprise we're saving for you on the day.
Where you'll sleep
We've taken care of the night of the wedding for all our guests in a hotel of our choosing.
We've reserved rooms for the night of 18 → 19 September for everyone celebrating with us. Simply let us know in the RSVP if you'd like to make use of this. Room will be arranged for couples, while guests attending on their own may be paired with another guest of the same gender.
When you RSVP, please feel free to let us know in the additional comments if you have a preference for who you'd like to share a room with. The hotel details will be shared with you well in advance of the day.
Prefer to stay somewhere else? Just say so in the RSVP form and we'll take you off the room reservation list. If you'd like to arrange your own hotel rather than use the one we've booked, all venues are in and around Silves and Portimão.
Getting around: all transport on the wedding day itself will be arranged for you. The only journeys you'll need to sort yourself are your flight to Faro and transport between the airport and your hotel — or, if you're feeling adventurous, you can also go by car and make a road trip out of it.
Please do fill in the RSVP even if you're unsure of details yet — we need it to finalise the arrangements. You can always update us later.
A couple of things
This invitation is just for you — we're sorry that, given the size of the day, we're not able to accommodate additional guests beyond the person it was addressed to.
As much as we adore your little ones, we've decided to make this an adults-only wedding.
Let us know you're coming
Please reply by 1 December 2026 so we can confirm numbers with the venue and hotel.
