What does the wedding package include?
A Restaurante Rei das Praias wedding has a venue-published adult package with VAT included and a separate rate for children up to age 10.[1] Ask the venue to repeat both rates, their validity date and the tax treatment of any extras in the proposal.
The package covers a welcome drink, canapés, starter, main course, dessert, dinner drinks, after-dinner drinks and sparkling wine for the toast.[3] That gives a clear meal sequence, while ceremony setup, entertainment, decoration, cake and transport still need separate confirmation. Compare the full scope with the Algarve wedding cost breakdown.
How many guests can the venue hold?
Rei das Praias states a minimum of 40 guests and a maximum of 60 for its wedding format.[2] That narrow range is one of the page’s most useful facts. A 50- to 60-person group fits the published plan; an 80-person guest list does not.
The sequence is beach ceremony, dinner in the restaurant and a party by the beach. The venue is set directly at Praia dos Caneiros, between cliffs, so the setting feels distinct from a hotel ballroom. Couples comparing similar settings can also review beach wedding venues and ocean-view venues.
| Space | Setting | Guests |
|---|---|---|
| Beach | Ceremony | Up to 60 total |
| Lounge | Welcome drinks | Up to 60 total |
| Restaurant | Dinner | 40–60 format |
| Party area | Beach deck | Up to 60 total |
The venue names a lounge, restaurant and beach party area with dance deck, bar, loungers and seats.[9] The 40-to-60 range belongs to the overall wedding format rather than a separate capacity for every area, so ask for the seated restaurant plan and the wet-weather movement between spaces.
Which months are available?
The wedding page offers dates from 15 May to 30 June and from 1 to 30 September, subject to restaurant availability.[4] July and August are absent from the stated window. This makes late May, June or September the real shortlist rather than a vague idea of “summer”.
The published running order starts with welcome drinks at 18:00, moves to dinner around 19:00 or 19:30, starts the party around 22:00 or 22:30 and finishes at 01:00.[5] Ask what changes if wind or rain moves any part of the plan, because the venue page does not publish a detailed wet-weather layout.
Faro's named IPMA station gives Algarve-wide guidance, not a forecast for Praia dos Caneiros. Its 1991–2020 May normal records a 23.5°C average high and 26.2 mm rain; September records 26.4°C and 21.5 mm.[10][11] Both months record rain days, so the written plan still needs an indoor ceremony and party answer.
How far is it from Faro Airport?
The restaurant is about 76 minutes’ drive from Faro airport (estimate, no traffic). The route is about 71 km to the nearest routable road and excludes traffic, parking and walking.[6] For guests arriving in separate groups, pre-arranged transfers are easier to cost than expecting everyone to find a taxi after a long flight.
Rei das Praias has no accommodation listed on its wedding page. Guests will therefore need rooms and return transport elsewhere around Ferragudo, Carvoeiro or Portimão. The Ferragudo wedding guide is a sensible next comparison when deciding where the group should stay.
What should be in the written proposal?
Ask for one document showing the adult and child counts, every food course, drinks duration, ceremony setup, beach licence responsibility, cake, music, decoration, payment dates and the wet-weather decision. The venue publishes a defined package, but the extras determine the final wedding total.
The wedding page assigns the beach licence, chairs and other ceremony decoration to the client.[8] The payment terms require 50% on confirmation and the balance three days before, while the page describes a possible refund for cancellation at least one month ahead.[7] Ask the contract to repeat those conditions for your date and define any non-refundable outside costs.
The Algarve packages page helps you compare that venue core with a broader wedding plan.
For the first proposal, use the adult and child split you actually expect. A mixed group can produce a different total from an adult-only multiplication, and it lets the restaurant show children’s courses, high chairs and seating in the same room plan.
Next step: request the package and remaining items in one written schedule for your actual adult and child numbers and your May, June or September date.
Questions and answers
What guest count suits Rei das Praias?
The venue states a minimum of 40 and a maximum of 60 for weddings.[2] That range suits a compact destination group rather than a large reception.
Is VAT included?
Yes. The venue’s published adult price says VAT is included at the legal rate.[1] Confirm the same treatment for extras in the final proposal.
Can we marry on the beach?
The venue describes a beach ceremony, restaurant dinner and beach party. Ceremony licences, chairs and decoration are listed separately, so confirm who arranges and pays for each item.
How long is the transfer from Faro Airport?
The route estimate is about 76 minutes over 71 km before traffic, parking or walking.[6] Allow more time for summer arrivals and shared transfers.
