Hiring a wedding planner in Lisbon, Portugal
What a local planner can help with
Ask a planner about work in the area, languages, supplier relationships, and the tasks they can handle. Compare that scope with what your venue coordinator includes.
What to budget
Ask whether the fee is fixed, a percentage, or based on services. Confirm travel, taxes, extra events, supplier commissions, and payment dates.
Questions to ask before booking
How many weddings have you planned in this specific area? Do you handle legal paperwork and permits? What's your vendor network like? Will you be present on the wedding day? How do you handle communication across time zones? What's your contingency plan for weather or vendor no-shows?
When to book
Contact planners early if you want help finding the venue. If your venue is booked, explain which decisions you have made and where you need support.
Questions couples ask
How far in advance should I book ARW Events?+
We recommend booking 12-18 months in advance for peak season weddings, though we do accommodate shorter timelines depending on availability. Given our reputation and high demand, earlier bookings ensure more flexibility with dates and vendors.

Our planning packages typically range from €3,000-€8,000+ depending on the scope of services (partial planning vs. full coordination) and wedding size. Day-of coordination is available separately for smaller budgets.
Do you work with destination weddings outside Lisbon?+
Yes, we regularly plan weddings throughout Portugal and have experience with European destinations. Our Mercado da Ribeira location gives us exceptional vendor connections across Portugal, particularly in the Algarve and Sintra regions.
What's included in your full planning package?+
Full planning includes unlimited consultations, complete vendor research and negotiations, venue sourcing, design concept development, timeline creation, budget management, and comprehensive day-of coordination with your dedicated planner present.
