Getting Married August 30, 2026
Isabela & Diogo
Hello family and friends!! Welcome 🤍
After almost 10 years, filled with incredible adventures, growth and some “crazy enough” decisions, from building a company to travelling around the world and living in three different countries, we have challenged and supported each other through every phase, always choosing one another along the way.
And now, we are getting married this summer, on August 30th, 2026. We want to celebrate our love, and we would love for you to be part of one of the most special days of our lives.
This day is not only about our story, but about celebrating it with our tribe, the people who mean the most to us.
We can’t wait to have you there!
Schedule
Pre-Wedding Gathering
Saturday, 29th August 2026
4:00 PM – 6:30 PM
Location: Quinta de Santa Eufémia, Douro Valley
The day before the wedding, we’d love to bring everyone together for something simple and meaningful.
We’ll be hosting a wine experience at Douro. This will include a guided tour of the vineyards, followed by a tasting of Douro wines. The experience lasts around two hours and will be relaxed and easy to enjoy.
We’d love everyone to wear white. If you don’t have a full white outfit, just include at least one white piece or stick to light tones.
This is a small gift from us to you, so just come and enjoy it.
This gathering is completely optional, and we fully understand if you’re not able to arrive a day earlier.
(Please let us know if you’ll be joining us for the pre-wedding, or only for the wedding day.)

It will be an unforgettable celebration filled with love, laughter, emotion and moments we’ll carry with us forever. The party will continue into the early hours, so come ready to eat well, toast and dance the night away.
