About our Algarve wedding planner: Mia has spent twenty years planning weddings for couples who flew in from somewhere else. Start with 5 questions—your guest count, preferred month, ceremony route, budget and experience of the Algarve—then use the venue and cost guides to turn the celebration you want into a clear brief.

| Question | Useful starting point |
|---|---|
| Who is coming? | Adults, children and access needs |
| Which months? | Preferred dates and flexibility |
| Which ceremony? | Legal marriage or symbolic celebration |
| What budget? | Total and items paid separately |
| Know the Algarve? | Places you like or want to compare |

## Questions and answers

### Do we need a planner if the hotel has a coordinator?

Ask which tasks the hotel service includes, then identify anything outside that scope. Use the same responsibility list when considering separate planning support.

### How much does planning cost?

Review the published planning packages and their inclusions. Venue menu prices and whole-package benchmarks do not establish the fee for your particular planning scope.

### Can we begin before choosing a venue?

Begin with the people attending, possible dates and total budget. A clear brief gives you a way to compare venues before committing to one.
