Love Connection Weddings:
Founded by Teresa Tavares, Love Connection Weddings is a Portugal wedding planner specialising in bespoke celebrations for couples travelling from the UK and abroad.
Originally based in London before returning to Portugal in 2020, Teresa combines local knowledge of the country with an understanding of the practicalities involved in planning a wedding overseas. That dual perspective shapes the business throughout, particularly for couples organising their wedding from abroad while balancing busy professional lives at home.
The overall approach feels personal, calm and highly supportive, with couples working directly with Teresa throughout the planning process.
Weddings In Portugal
Love Connection Weddings works exclusively within Portugal, helping couples plan celebrations that make the most of the country’s climate, hospitality, food and scenery.
The weddings themselves vary depending on the couple and location, ranging from smaller gatherings through to larger destination wedding weekends with family and friends travelling internationally for the celebration.
Portugal is positioned not simply as the setting for the wedding, but as part of the wider guest experience itself. Long lunches, warm evenings, coastal landscapes and a slower pace of entertaining all influence the atmosphere of many of the weddings the company creates.
Planning Style & Approach
The planning style is centred around flexibility and close communication rather than a fixed design signature.
Teresa works closely with couples from the early consultation stages through to venue research, supplier coordination and wedding day management itself. Her background in project management and client services gives the business a structured and organised foundation, while the overall experience remains warm and relationship-led throughout.
Many couples also travel to Portugal with Teresa during the planning process to visit venues and suppliers in person before final decisions are made.
Services include:
- full wedding planning
- wedding weekend planning
- venue sourcing
- supplier coordination
- wedding day management
- consultation and planning support
A Portuguese Planner With A UK Perspective
One of the company’s strongest differentiators is Teresa’s understanding of both the UK and Portuguese sides of destination wedding planning.
Having spent more than a decade living and working in London before returning home to Portugal, she understands the expectations, communication style and logistical concerns many international couples face when organising a wedding abroad.
That balance of local knowledge and international perspective gives the business a reassuringly personal feel, particularly for couples planning their first experience in Portugal.
