# Weddings at The Yard

Source: https://www.lovebirdsweddings.com/venues/the-yard-weddings/

The Yard wedding enquiries should start with the event format: its official site describes two outdoor areas, a beer garden and mini golf, with food, drinks and live entertainment. Vale do Lobo lists ordinary opening hours of 16:00–24:00. A seated wedding capacity, private-hire tariff and covered alternative were not verified on the official pages checked.

## Questions and answers

### Does The Yard publish a wedding guest capacity?

The official pages checked do not establish a seated wedding capacity. Request a plan for your group and confirmation of which area, if any, can be reserved exclusively.

### Could we include mini golf in a gathering?

The official site presents mini golf alongside the beer garden. Ask how group play, food service and use of both spaces would be booked and timed.

### Is midnight the wedding finishing time?

Vale do Lobo lists midnight as the end of ordinary daily opening hours. A private event needs its own written agreement for music, drinks and guest departure.
