Weddings at Quinta de Sant'Ana

A wedding with time to be together.

The Estate

Make yourselves at home.

A 400-year-old vineyard estate, and our family home for the past sixty years. We are the Frosts: James, Ann and our seven boys. For your wedding, make it home for two nights: sixty of your closest people staying here, with gardens, courtyards and historic buildings to celebrate in together.

Our wines have been certified organic since 2018. We grow our flowers here, and our kitchen uses fresh, local produce from our garden whenever possible and from partners who share our philosophy.

Accommodation

Keep your loved ones close.

There is room for 60 of you to stay for two nights: the night before and the night of your wedding. Seven houses and four Stable Rooms have their own character, with gardens, terraces and quiet corners to settle into between celebrations.

All available accommodation is included in the estate fee, with breakfast delivered to your houses both mornings. You decide who stays where through your couple's portal.

Event Spaces

A different setting for every moment.

Vineyards for your vows, the courtyard for drinks, dinner beneath the Great Hall's timber beams, dancing in the old olive press. The working wine cellar and gardens are part of a place shaped over centuries. Your planner helps bring each moment together.

The estate's event spaces are exclusively yours from check-in to check-out. The village church is subject to parish availability; the estate chapel is open for visits only.

The Region

The coast and city, close by

With room for 60 at the Quinta, family and close friends can stay together, while other guests stay in nearby towns or along the coast. They can join you for the celebrations and make a few days in Portugal their own.

Lisbon makes arrival straightforward, with time for the city before or after your stay. Ericeira brings Atlantic beaches, seafood and village streets, while Mafra and Sintra offer palaces and gardens to explore.

Guests book their off-estate rooms directly. Your planner can help arrange transfers, priced separately, to bring everyone together at the Quinta.

Included in The Estate

€45,000 weekend · €37,000 weekday

Everything below is included in the estate fee. IVA included.

Two nights with your closest people, the estate's event spaces exclusively for your celebration, and the team who helps you plan it and brings it all together.

Two nights for 60 guests, with breakfast

Exclusive use of all available houses and rooms, sleeping 60, for the night before your wedding and the night of your wedding. Breakfast is included for everyone staying here on both mornings, delivered to your houses, with options for dietary restrictions. The municipal tourist tax for your on-site guests is included too.

Exclusive use of the event spaces

From check-in to check-out, yours is the only celebration on the estate. The gardens, courtyards and historic event spaces give each part of your time here its own setting, from the welcome evening to the ceremony, dinner and party. Your planner helps you choose the right space for each moment, with a Plan B for the weather.

Your personal wedding planner and team

Our bookings team supports you from the day your date is confirmed. Your personal wedding planner works with you from the November before your wedding until the moment you leave: designing your timeline, shaping the setup from your moodboard, recommending suppliers and briefing our teams. A rehearsal is included if needed.

On the day, your planner accompanies you through the wedding morning, helps coordinate the ceremony, and coordinates vendors and our teams with the day manager and head waiters. Your couple's portal keeps guest details, room assignments and planning tools together throughout the lead-up.

Furnished, prepared and staffed

Our standard selection of tables, chairs, tableware, glassware, linen and candles for your welcome evening, ceremony and reception is already here. Nothing to rent, nothing to truck in. Setup and cleanup are included, with our team on duty throughout.

Our in-house designer also designs and produces your wedding stationery: menus, seating plan, table names, place cards and room cards, personalised with your names in the Quinta's designs for your season.

Food, drinks and service for The Welcome Evening and The Wedding Day are the next two parts of your proposal, priced per guest.

The Welcome Evening

An evening to arrive, catch up and introduce the people you love.

Dinner among the pines

Check in from 16:00, settle into your houses, then join everyone for an informal buffet dinner in the pine forest. Our team takes care of the food, drinks and service, with shuttles running within the estate throughout the evening.

There are indoor options if the weather turns. The welcome evening is part of your stay, for at least the guests sleeping on the estate.

Explore the Pinhal

From €95 per guest

Food, drinks, full service and estate shuttles included. Minimum 60 guests aged 5 and over. Ages 5–12: €25; ages 4 and under: free. Any shortfall is charged at the adult rate. IVA included.

The Wedding Day

Your people around you, from the vows to the last dance. Welcome drinks, a four-course dinner, the bar and midnight food are all part of the day, with ten hours of service and your planner bringing it together.

From €295 per guest

IVA included · minimum 60 guests

A place for your vows

Civil, humanist and symbolic ceremonies can take place on the lawns overlooking the vineyards, in the Lemon Garden or in the Adega. Your planner helps choose the setting and prepare an alternative for rain.

For a religious ceremony, the village church is a few minutes away. Our team helps coordinate the date, subject to parish availability.

A drink, and everyone together

After the ceremony, gather for welcome drinks and canapés. The courtyard fills with conversations, while our team serves the standard selection of estate wines, beers, spirits and soft drinks included in your wedding-day bar.

Four courses, at your table

Sit down to dinner, with four courses from our kitchen and estate wine at the table. Beer and soft drinks are available on request; spirits and cocktails return when the party begins. You choose your menu with your planner, with a tasting for the two of you included.

A toast. Then the dance floor.

Gather everyone for the cake and sparkling wine, then head inside to the old Olive Oil Press for dancing. The cheese and fruit buffet is included, and a midnight ceia brings a late snack to keep you going.

The bar stays with you through the close. Your ten hours begin at the scheduled guest arrival, or the scheduled return from church, so your planner shapes the timing with you.

Food & Service

Our own kitchen and team

Executive Chef Rui Borges leads our full-time kitchen. We cook with fresh, seasonal ingredients from our garden whenever possible and from trusted local producers: the growers, cheesemakers and bakers we have worked with for years. Our own service team looks after your guests throughout the celebration.

Welcome drinks and canapés, a four-course dinner, wedding cake, cheese and fruit, and a midnight snack are all included in your wedding-day price. A menu tasting for the two of you is included too, with wines selected by the Quinta. We work through your menu and dietary requirements with you during planning.

Wine & Bar

The wines in your glass come from the vineyards around you. Our award-winning estate wines, certified organic since 2018, are part of your included open bar, alongside our standard selection of beers, spirits and soft drinks. Sparkling wine accompanies your wedding cake.

The bar is included from welcome drinks to the close of your ten hours of wedding-day service. During dinner, we serve wine, with beer and soft drinks on request; spirits and cocktails return when the party begins.

Flowers, Music & More

Make the day your own

Flowers grown here. Music you love. People who understand your vision. Your planner connects you with our florist, resident DJ and trusted local partners to bring it all together.

Planning is included. Flowers, music and other supplier services are quoted separately and subject to availability. Prices and details.

A few practical questions

The details behind your stay, your guest list and your proposal.

Guest numbers and children

We host up to 200 guests. Both per-guest lines have a minimum of 60, counting everyone aged 5 and over at their own rate. If fewer than 60 attend, the shortfall is charged at the adult rate. Ages 4 and under are free. Ages 5–12 pay €25 for the welcome evening and half the adult wedding-day price. Ages 13 and over pay adult rates.

Guest numbers can change until 30 days before the wedding. After that, numbers can increase, with the difference settled after the wedding, but cannot decrease.

What you can add

Each starting food and drink price covers the hosted meal, drinks and service described above. Premium menus, a premium bar and additional food or drinks are optional. Bespoke requests and external suppliers are quoted separately; extras are agreed in writing.

Outdoor dining is €2,500 for the additional setup; tents and weatherproofing are separate. Music, photography, hair and makeup, a celebrant, custom stationery, babysitting and transport beyond the estate shuttles are also priced separately.

Florals are separate from your contracted price. An indicative estimate starts at €4,000 for a wedding of at least 60 guests; final design, quantities and requirements determine your quote. See the floral scope.

Your included stationery is personalised within the Quinta's seasonal designs: menus, seating plan, table names, place cards and room cards.

All DJ services, sound equipment and technical support are coordinated through our resident DJ and sound technician, André Galvão. An external DJ can join using André's equipment, with him or his team present. Bands and other entertainment need advance approval from your planner and André.

Services arranged through the estate are invoiced by Quinta de Sant'Ana. Suppliers you bring yourselves require our written approval and are booked and paid by you directly; your planner coordinates them with our teams on the day. Supplier availability cannot be guaranteed.

Ceremonies and wet-weather plans

Civil, humanist and symbolic ceremonies can take place at the estate. For a legally binding civil ceremony, you arrange the legal process; we can introduce a lawyer to help.

Religious ceremonies take place in the village church, subject to parish availability. Our bookings team helps request your church date within seven days of your reservation. You arrange your priest or deacon and the religious requirements. The estate chapel is open for visits and does not host ceremonies.

Your planner agrees an indoor alternative for each outdoor moment. The Adega can host your ceremony and drinks if it rains, including during harvest when we clear and prepare it. The welcome evening has an indoor alternative, and the standard wedding dinner is indoors.

Payment dates, methods and late bookings

Your €10,000 deposit is applied in full to the estate fee. Pay it, or initiate the transfer and share confirmation, within seven days of signing. Your date is fully confirmed when the funds arrive; if they have not arrived within 14 days of signing, the date may be released.

The remaining estate fee is due six months before the wedding, on the last day of the month before the six-month point. For example, a wedding on 17 June 2028 pays by 30 November 2027. Your Offer states the exact due date. If you book less than six months ahead, the balance is due within 30 days of signing.

The per-guest charges are due 30 days before the wedding. Any last-minute changes or damages are itemised after the wedding, within 14 days, and payable within 14 days of issue.

You can pay by bank transfer or card. Cards issued outside the European Economic Area carry a 3% surcharge where lawful. Your agreed prices include IVA and do not change if tax rates change.

Your stay and celebration hours

Weekend pricing applies to Friday, Saturday and Sunday weddings; weekday pricing applies Monday to Thursday. Your proposal confirms the available date selected for you.

Your two nights are the night before the wedding and the wedding night. Check in from 16:00 and check out by 11:00. Accommodation for 60, breakfast both mornings and municipal tourist tax are included. You assign rooms through your portal and arrange any cost-sharing directly with your guests.

Ten hours of wedding-day service run from the scheduled arrival for your ceremony or welcome drinks, or your scheduled return from church. A late start shortens the party. The celebration ends by 1:30 from Sunday to Thursday and by 2:30 on Fridays and Saturdays. Each started extra hour is €2,000 plus any extra supplier charges, within those closing times.

After 22:00, there is no amplified music or other outdoor noise anywhere on the estate. The party continues indoors in the Olive Oil Press.

Guest-house after-parties are not permitted. Any additional gathering at Marreco House must be arranged with your planner in advance.

Getting here and staying at a working estate

We are in Gradil, near Mafra, north of Lisbon. Estate shuttles during the welcome evening are included; airport transfers and other transport can be arranged separately. For guests staying elsewhere, accommodation is booked directly by you or your guests.

Your event spaces are exclusively yours from check-in to check-out. On arrival and departure days, small wine-tasting groups may visit other parts of this working estate; there are no tasting visitors during your welcome evening or wedding day. Extended exclusivity can be quoted on request.

Reservations and cancellations

Your proposal holds its selected date for seven days pending your signatures. If that window expires, the date is released; contact us to check whether it is still available.

The €10,000 deposit is non-refundable. The remaining estate fee becomes non-refundable from its due date. Per-guest charges are subject to the 30-day guest-count lock. Your contract sets out the full cancellation, postponement and other terms.
