The most convenient solution will be a wedding at a hotel, especially one of the hotels specializing in weddings & events. These places usually have offers suitable for various budgets. Most hotels have a beautiful view and one or more spots for the ceremony. There is, for example, a hotel with a beautiful oceanview altar:

Madeira Wedding Venues: Mountains

Most destination weddings take place in ocean view gardens, but mountain lovers definitely won’t be disappointed either. Madeira has a specialized hotel with an amazing green terrace offering a magical view of the high mountains and the Nuns Valley. [MORE]

Madeira Wedding Venues: A yacht

If you wish, the ceremony can also be organized, for example, on a yacht, and immediately after the ceremony, you can set off on a cruise. It is also a surprisingly inexpensive option. The boat can depart either from Funchal or Porto Santo.

Madeira Wedding Venues: Vineyard

For vineyard and wine lovers (or simply anyone who would enjoy beautiful views of the green, northern coast of Madeira), we recommend this quiet, unique and incredibly charming country house /vineyard type hotel: [MORE]

Madeira Wedding Venues: Wedding houses and private villas

Besides wedding hotels in Madeira, another good option are wedding houses – so-called “Quintas para casamentos”. If you prefer a small and informal ceremony, you can also organize a wedding in a rented villa, in which you can also stay with your entire group. 

Madeira Wedding Venues: This secluded spot…

Eloping couples also love this secluded place, which can only be reached by boat or a cable car. Where else in the world can you reach your wedding venue by a cable car?

This spot is very relaxed, unique and it is a perfect setting for a small, affordable, off-the-beaten-path, and informal ceremony combined with dinner. Here is a short movie of one of autumn 2019 weddings:

Beach weddings? Porto Santo!

If you dream of exchanging vows on a beuatiful sandy beach, the island of Madeira itself has little to offer. Beaches aren’t the strongest point of Madeira Island, see our post: BEACHES ON MADEIRA. However! The belonging to Madeira Archipelago island of Porto Santo is just made for it. You can get to Porto Santo by plane or with a ferry from Madeira, which takes just over two hours.

One of the Porto Santo hotels specializes in weddings at the beach and beautiful, though very affordable, wedding receptions:

Registry office weddings

Of course, you can also get married in a registry office. This option is less spectacular, but cheaper (in this case you save on outdoor wedding fees and the eventual cost of renting a venue). This is an option for couples organizing a destination wedding on a budget. If you are getting married at the registry office, we do recommend a scenic photo shoot in the beautiful landscapes of Madeira.
