Cascais, Portugal Destination Wedding Welcome Dinner | Vince and Tiffany
There’s something so special about the beginning of a wedding weekend—the anticipation, the excitement, and that unique energy when everyone comes together for the first time. Tiffany and Vince’s welcome dinner at Furnas do Guincho in Cascais, Portugal, was exactly that: the perfect start to an incredible celebration.
Guests arrived together, traveling by bus from their hotels, and were greeted warmly by Tiffany and Vince as they stepped off. It was the first time this group of family and friends—many meeting each other for the first time—gathered to kick off a weekend of adventure.
The evening began with a cocktail hour on the restaurant’s terrace, perched right over the water. As the sun began its descent, guests sipped their drinks, mingled, and snapped celebratory selfies. The ambiance was perfect, with gentle ocean breezes, the sound of birds, and the occasional sight of fishermen working in the distance.
Tiffany and Vince made the most of this time by welcoming their guests personally, introducing groups to one another, and sharing the weekend’s schedule to keep everyone in the loop. It wasn’t long before the toasts began, setting the tone for a weekend filled with laughter, love, and connection.
As the sun set over the ocean, the group enjoyed an incredible dinner prepared by the talented team at Furnas do Guincho. The flavors, the view, and the company all came together for a truly unforgettable evening.
I could feel the excitement building as the night wrapped up. It was clear this weekend was going to be extraordinary, and I couldn’t wait to see what was in store for Tiffany and Vince’s big day!
A Destination Wedding will always be a good idea.
There’s something truly magical about destination weddings—they bring a sense of adventure and intimacy that’s hard to replicate anywhere else. I love how they create opportunities for couples and their loved ones to spend quality time together in a setting that feels like a dream. Tiffany and Vince’s wedding in Portugal was a perfect example. From their welcome dinner at Furnas do Guincho in Cascais to their wedding day in Sintra, the entire weekend was filled with beautiful moments, breathtaking views, and a spirit of togetherness that I’ll never forget.
What makes destination weddings so special is the way they transform an event into a full experience. It’s not just about the wedding day itself but the memories built around it—exploring new places, sharing meals, and celebrating in extraordinary settings. Tiffany and Vince’s wedding weekend had all of that and more. Watching their friends and family laugh, toast, and soak in the beauty of Portugal was inspiring. It reminded me why I love traveling for weddings and capturing these unique stories in places that feel as unforgettable as the moments themselves.
