If you’re looking for a beautiful, practical, and character-filled venue for your wedding in Portugal in 2025, it’s well worth discovering the incredible Quinta D. Carlos, located in Alenquer.
Mariana and João chose one of those places that has everything needed to make a wedding truly special — Quinta D. Carlos. Surrounded by greenery, with a welcoming atmosphere and that peaceful charm you can only find away from the city, it was the perfect choice to celebrate the beginning of a new chapter.
The wedding was exactly what the couple envisioned: emotional, light-hearted, full of good conversation, laughter, and that warm feeling you get when the people who matter most come together in a beautiful setting.

Why Get Married at Quinta D. Carlos
Quinta D. Carlos is perfect for those who want to escape the fast pace of the city and immerse themselves in a serene environment. It’s surrounded by trees, manicured gardens, and wide open spaces that invite socializing — ideal for outdoor ceremonies and celebrations that last late into the night.
Rain or shine, the venue offers several options: from lush green areas ideal for ceremonies to indoor spaces ready to host all your guests in comfort and style. Mariana and João chose to celebrate their ceremony at the Basilica of Santa Quitéria de Meca, in Alenquer.
