Two Alentejos, really. Inland is the open plain — cork oaks, vineyards and the walled city of Évora, where wine estates and centuries-old convents host weddings inside deep heritage. On the coast, Comporta is the opposite: rice fields, pine and white-sand beach, Portugal’s most fashionable understated escape.
It’s the region for couples who want space and silence rather than a crowd — and who don’t mind that the interior summer is genuinely hot, which is why we favour spring and early autumn.
The Alentejo gives Mary Me 18 venues of real contrast — wine estates and former convents around the UNESCO city of Évora, the barefoot-luxury beaches of Comporta, and the frontier heritage of Portalegre. Most are an hour to ninety minutes from Lisbon airport, and spring and early autumn beat the fierce interior summer.
Marry in the Alentejo for space, silence and deep heritage — a wine estate or a former convent under enormous skies inland, or barefoot luxury on the Comporta sand. It’s the region for couples who want their wedding to feel removed from the world rather than in the middle of it.
Comporta for barefoot-luxury beach and pine; Évora and its surroundings for wine estates and convents inside deep heritage; Portalegre for quiet frontier country. Two very different moods, an hour or so apart.
Lisbon airport (LIS) is the gateway — Comporta is about an hour, Évora around ninety minutes. We arrange transfers for the open-country stretches.
Eighteen across seven locals, weighted toward Évora’s wine country and the Comporta coast. We match you to the setting and the scale you are after.
