How does an Aldeia da Pedralva wedding package work?
Aldeia da Pedralva publishes adult wedding menus for 2027 and 2028 with VAT included.[3] The village stay, evening food and bar duration still need separate lines, so compare proposals at the same guest count and with the same number of hosted nights.
The brochure also describes a low-season Wedding Weekend for at least 50 people. It combines 2 nights, a welcome dinner, the wedding menu and a farewell brunch, but that line does not identify its year or VAT treatment.[4] Confirm those points and the exact room allocation before treating it as a complete weekend plan.
The useful comparison is menu-only against the multi-day option. Ask each proposal to list accommodation, meals, drinks hours, children, supplier meals and any late food separately. That shows which costs belong to the wedding day and which belong to the wider stay.
Because the Wedding Weekend is based on low season and at least 50 people, match it to the actual house allocation before comparing it with a meal-only booking.[4] Ask whether all 26 houses are held for your group, when unused houses are released and how extra nights are handled.[1]
How many guests can celebrate and stay?
The directory records 40–110 wedding guests, while the venue brochure gives 76 beds in 26 houses.[1][2] Those figures answer different questions: how many people can attend and how many can sleep on site.
| Name | Setting | Guests |
|---|---|---|
| Village | Streets and courtyards | 40–110 overall[2][12] |
| Chapel yard | Outdoor setting | Not published[12] |
| 26 houses | On-site stay | 76 sleepers[1] |
For a 65-person celebration, start the rooming plan alongside the seating plan. Couples, single friends and families may need different house arrangements, even when the total headcount is below the bed count. Ask for the actual allocation of houses, including any accessible accommodation needed, before inviting everyone to stay together. The published bed figure should never become a promise of a private bedroom for every guest.
What is included in the meal and party?
The brochure menu includes welcome drinks, 8 canapés, a starter, fish and meat courses, and a dessert buffet. It treats supper as an extra.[6] That makes the evening food decision separate from the main meal.
Regular, Medium and Superior bar options are charged per person per hour, as published by Aldeia da Pedralva on 12 November 2026; these tables do not identify a year or say whether VAT is included.[7] Choose the drinks and duration together. Ask when the hourly clock begins, who is counted, and how children or non-drinkers are handled; those details determine a useful total.
Which months work, and what happens if it rains?
The brochure says weddings are not held in August. It specifies a 2-night minimum for April–July and September–October, with no minimum stay in January–March or November–December.[5] Choose the season around both your celebration and the stay you are asking friends to fund.
For Algarve-wide planning guidance, the western-coast Sagres / Quartel da Marinha station gives these 1991–2020 averages. They are historical climate normals, not an Aldeia da Pedralva forecast or a promise of dry weather.[10][11]
May and September both fall within the brochure's 2-night-minimum periods. Compare the climate averages with the seasonal village buyout and room rates rather than choosing a month from temperature alone. The nearest town guide is Vila do Bispo, which is the useful base for local guest planning.
A covered wedding layout is not established in the material checked. Before choosing outdoor tables, ask to see the alternative dining and ceremony arrangements with your guest count, including the route between them. A village celebration still needs a named person to decide when a weather change means moving the furniture.
How far is it from Faro airport?
It is about 111 minutes’ drive from Faro airport (estimate, no traffic).[8] It excludes traffic, parking and walking, so use it as a route comparison rather than a transfer collection time.
If you are planning a welcome evening, leave space between landing, the drive and settling into the houses. The official wedding page explicitly describes a multi-day sequence of welcome events, activities and farewell brunch.[9] Pick the parts you want guests to join, and keep optional outings separate from the wedding commitment.
The accommodation is split into 16 one-bedroom, 8 two-bedroom and 2 three-bedroom apartments within the 26-house total.[1] Ask for the actual mix available on your dates, because 76 beds do not tell you how many separate households can be housed comfortably.
Compare the wider venue shortlist and Algarve wedding cost guide before choosing how much of the weekend to host.

Questions and answers
Can everyone sleep in the village?
The brochure gives 76 beds across 26 houses.[1] Match your actual room-sharing arrangements to that stock before treating the wedding capacity as an overnight capacity.
Is August an option?
The brochure excludes weddings in August.[5] Start with another month and check whether its minimum stay suits your guests.
Is the weekend price a complete wedding budget?
It covers the listed meals and 2 nights for the stated low-season basis.[4] Ask which drinks, suppliers and additional hours sit outside it before comparing totals.
Does the wedding menu include the evening bar?
The brochure publishes separate hourly bar options.[7] Have the dinner drinks and evening drinks listed separately so their times are clear.
