Has anyone planned a destination wedding in Portugal before? Did you use a wedding planning company? Any recommendations? How much did it cost?

We’re looking to do a wedding reception (but will get married officially in a NYC courthouse first) for about 80 guests in fall 2022 with live music, open bar, family style dining, overlooking the ocean (but not on the beach).

Not sure where to start - it’s information overload on google so looking for any recommendations!

Booked a villa for 50-60 guests for our destination wedding in Tuscany. The hotel required us to pre-pay for the rooms and won’t accept direct payments from guests. This means we need to find a way to “charge” each of our guests for the cost. Any recs? Thought of PayPal and Venmo but would prefer being able to create a website that feels more legit / seamless and allows for credit cards if needed. There are many different room types and we’d like to be able to feature them so guests can choose.
