Silvia, Zélia, Urs, and the entire team at Estufa were amazing to work with and they truly made our wedding more amazing than we could ever have imagined! 

We were a destination wedding coming from Canada and we worked with Silvia through email and video calls throughout the year before our wedding in September 2022.  When we started our wedding planning we really had no idea where to even start. Silvia helped to guide us through the entire process and develop our vision for our dream wedding. We were not able to come to Greenhouse until four days before our wedding but we knew that we were in very good hands and felt confident that no matter what, our wedding would be wonderful. 

Silvia planned everything for us from our rehearsal dinner to our farewell brunch after the wedding, hair stylists, makeup artists, floral arrangements, wedding cake, fireworks, DJ, photo booth, and there is much more. One very special touch was the set up of the wedding ceremony. We had a smaller number of guests so Silvia had the chairs arranged in a spiral with our official and us at the center. This was incredibly special and made it so we were able to see all of our family and friends as we walked down the aisle and into this most important moment of our lives. She also had a personalized drink for us during our cocktail hour which was very sentimental and another personalized touch that we appreciated so much. 

Our dinner menu was incredibly delicious and the presentation was amazing! Urs is a world class chef, he is incredibly talented and was able to completely customize and modify our menu for all guests with dietary restrictions and allergies. All of our guests agreed the dinner courses, dessert, and cake were the best meal they had during their travels in Portugal! 

Greenhouse is stunning, it is even more beautiful than pictures or videos can show. It is an absolute fairy tale venue and made more so by the decor and touches that are added by Silvia and her team. 

Every vendor Silvia partnered with us with the same caliber of talent and professionalism as her and the Estufa team. They were all so wonderful to work with and made our incredibly special events. From the restaurants booked, the hair and makeup team, the nail artist accommodating an emergency new set of nails the day before our wedding, to the DJ customizing our wedding music to incorporate Latin, Portuguese, and Punjabi music, they were all incredibly accommodating , warm, and professional - and fun! 

Our wedding was so much more than we could have ever hoped for. Silvia and her dela team she took so much care and consideration to make the events absolutely seamless and incredibly beautiful. 

I  wish that I could articulate what a dream come true our wedding was, but all I can say is that if you work with Silvia and have your wedding at Estufa, it will be the best day of your life!
