1 – I don’t speak Portuguese: Unfortunately, we don’t speak Hindi either but we managed to get the curry there!
Communication is essential and, sometimes, the English language is your best ally, since, in Portugal, most of us speak English correctly and clearly. If, even so, you have difficulty with a supplier, hire a Portuguese wedding planner company that speaks English and understands you so that it can be the best link between your expectations and their fulfillment.
2 – I’m not going to Portugal before the wedding: Too bad! You could.-and have twice as much fun!
Coming to Portugal before the wedding allows you to eat the food, set foot in the venue where you’re getting married, but it doesn’t allow you to feel what you’ll only feel on the wedding day, so make sure you convey, in the best possible way, what you idealize , what you’ve always wanted or what you don’t negotiate, because only then, and with a company that understands you by your side, can you achieve that feeling of fullness, fun and sharing with your family and friends, which compensates for any more expensive wine on the list.
3 – My guests need accommodation: And you should need it too, right?!
Managing guest bookings and negotiating rates with local hotels can indeed be quite a headache. In addition to not being able to see the type of accommodation you are advising your guests, the stress of not being able to control the quick responses from hotel units to your guests, may force you to have to deal with it directly yourself, which, we confess , can be quite grueling!
One way to improve this communication is to create a website with management that, preferably, should be handled by the wedding planner company you hire. This way, not only do you guarantee that the hotels you recommend are reliable, but you also have someone, locally, demanding answers and solutions for your guests. Less anxiety and more fun, pls!
4 – My guests need transport: How about you buy a plane just for you, eh?!
In fact, it is a constant pain for our customers, since they want guests not to have the hassle or concern of dealing with this matter directly. personalized, it can be a win win, for you and for them.
5 – What to show my guests about Portugal: Txiiii!!! So many things…
First of all, thank you for liking our culture, for liking our food, for appreciating our landscapes and for thrilling with our football goals! That said, we’ve already given you some suggestions, but here’s the essential one: what do you like most about our country and why did you decide to come here and get married?! Voilà, you have the answer! Through activities, welcome bags or a souvenir, think about this great reason and take your creativity to the brink!
This is one of the challenges that our wedding planners like to take on the most!
6 – When you go to sleep, we are waking up: After the night, the day always comes, it is the law of life and everything is fine!
We have already identified that communication or its failure really worries a large number of customers that we have but, fortunately, nowadays there are tools that allow you to communicate immediately with another country, in a matter of seconds! Image organizing destination weddings 40 years ago?! UI!! that’s when it hurt and believe me they were already done and well done!
If this causes you any concern, the only key you have to unlock is the trust you have with the wedding planner company you hire, because that is the only way you can ensure that not only the wedding planner sleeps well at night, but that you also wake up in a good mood… . and, even better, with a message from her, showing you that everything is going as planned!
7- When everyone speaks a different language and no one understands each other: Hum… for this one, we have to use the universal “body language” cheat sheet.
We had to finish with an amazing end and there is nothing more universal and contagious than feeling that all guests, in unison, are having fun, enjoying and living this experience to the fullest, just like our customers wanted and desired. Therefore, if you have guests with different cultures and languages, try, as much and as best as possible, to respect the schedules, expectations and dietary restrictions of all of them and, of course, with the most general and comprehensive music possible for everyone feel involved! And to make them feel at home, don’t forget to bring Portugal too!
