Photography

We partner with the island's most talented photographers to ensure every moment of your day is captured in a beautiful, authentic way.

Planning a wedding from afar can be a beautiful dream, but it’s also a complex undertaking. At Madeira Weddings, we believe the process of planning your day should be as joyful and stress-free as the celebration itself. As your dedicated Madeira wedding planner, we are here to handle every detail, from the big decisions to the smallest personal touches, so you can simply focus on celebrating your love story.

Our mission is to translate your unique vision into a meaningful, unforgettable experience. We don’t just plan weddings; we craft bespoke, island-inspired celebrations that truly reflect you as a couple.

The Value of an In-House Madeira Wedding Planner

The Experts Behind the Magic

At Madeira Weddings, we believe in a personal, hands-on approach. You won’t be passed between dozens of contacts; your journey is guided by our two co-founders and their distinct, complementary expertise.

Jared Pretorius: As the co-founder overseeing client communication and proposals, Jared is your first point of contact. He has a degree in hospitality and event management and is dedicated to understanding your vision, budget, and every single one of your preferences.
Verena Pregetter: With over 30 years of experience, Verena is our in-house floral designer and co-founder. She brings an unmatched level of artistry and skill to every event. Her local connections allow her to source flowers at wholesale prices, and our commitment to transparency means you only pay the direct cost plus her hourly rate for design and setup, with zero markups.

This unique, two-person team ensures that your logistics and aesthetics are perfectly aligned every step of the way.

Our Comprehensive Wedding Planning Services

We offer a full-service experience tailored to your needs. This is what’s included in our full-service planning:

Initial Consultation: We’ll start with a no-obligation call to understand your dreams and provide valuable insights.
Budget Management: We’ll facilitate and manage your budget, ensuring you get the most value from your investment.
Vendor & Venue Management: We’ll recommend and coordinate with trusted vendors and scout the perfect venue to match your vision.
Timeline & Design: We’ll craft a comprehensive timeline for pre-wedding and day-of events and develop a cohesive design and theme for your celebration. We will also oversee design and design execution to ensure your vision comes to life.
Wedding Day Coordination: We’ll be on-site to provide full, on-the-day coordination, manage all vendors, and ensure a flawless guest experience, from the ceremony to the final moments of the reception.
Post-Wedding Duties: Our service doesn’t end when the party does. We’ll assist with vendor payments, item collection, and the takedown of decor.

Transparent Pricing for Peace of Mind

We understand that budget is a key concern. Our pricing is transparent and independent of your overall wedding budget. We believe in providing clear, fixed fees so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Our vendor network and transparent floral pricing often save our clients far more than the cost of our planning fee.
