How to get there?

Transportation: Car, Uber/Bolt, or Taxi? 

The church is located in the heart of Funchal. To avoid parking challenges, we recommend taking a taxi or Uber. For guests staying in Ponta do Sol, a bus will be arranged to bring you to the church. We'll be in touch directly with those who will be taking the bus. More details will be shared on Facebook.

After the ceremony, transportation will be organized for everyone from the church back to Ponta do Sol—by bus or taxi. Guests who arrived by bus from Ponta do Sol will also return to the restaurant by bus. Since the bus cannot stop directly outside the church, Cristina will guide everyone to the pick-up point.

For some guests, taxis will be arranged from outside the church. You'll receive a personal message with the details if this applies to you. Dionisio and Brith will organize the taxis on the wedding day.

Speeches and Performances?

Speeches and performances are always a joy! Please send any inquiries regarding this to our toastmasters, Nikolai and Julie, via email or message.

Since we want a playful and fun wedding for everyone, we've chosen a slightly unconventional approach. Speeches and performances will be spread throughout the evening and not just during dinner.

Our guests are coming from all corners of the world. This doesn't mean that speeches must be held in English. However, we do ask that speeches be sent to the toastmasters in advance so they can translate them and create a small brochure for those who don't understand the language.

We kindly ask that speeches be kept to a maximum of 5 minutes.

If you'd like to give a speech or contribute with something fun during the wedding, we'd love for you to get in touch with our fantastic toastmasters, Julie and Nikolai. Just send them a private message by 15/8. The time allocated for each speech will depend on how many are planning to speak — but don't worry, Julie and Nikolai are on top of it al.

Gifts?

The greatest gift for us is your presence at the wedding—we do not expect any gifts beyond that.

If anyone still wishes to give a gift, we would appreciate contributions to our honeymoon, but of course, we will be happy for everything ❤️

Note: Please do not bring big gifts to Madeira, as it will cause luggage issues on the return trip. Instead, write a card explaining what the gift is 😊

Dresscode

The event will take place in Madeira, and it's summer...

For men: Light and airy suits, preferably in linen or cotton. Colors could be blue, green, gray, or beige. A shirt and dress shoes are required. Ties or bow ties are optional.
For women: A summery long or knee-length dress that is comfortable in warm weather. Dress shoes.*

We will be wearing a classic wedding dress and tuxedo. If you feel like wearing a tuxedo, you're welcome to do so, but be aware it might get warm.

Other
Dinner will be outdoors at sunset, but there will be a roof overhead. If it gets windy, windbreakers will be set up. It's a good idea to bring a sunhat/sun umbrella, swimsuit, sunglasses, and perhaps a light jacket or shawl for when the sun goes down. You can bring an extra pair of shoes if you plan to head into town afterward. There will be a room where you can store your belongings. There is also an option to swim from the pier by the restaurant if the mood strikes later in the evening.

Are childeren welcome?

Children are very welcome! ❤️ 

However, we would like to emphasize that alcohol will be served throughout the party, so parents should make their own decisions regarding this.
