Corrina and Steven believe you can’t put a price on your dream wedding – and that’s exactly how they ended up with a destination wedding set on the hills of the Santa Barbara de Nexe in Algarve, Portugal.<\/p>\n

“I knew straight away our venue, Os Agostos, was the winner. Of course it was over budget, but I was willing to ease up on the online shopping and eat only beans on toast for the next year to book it,” laughs Corrina, 32.<\/p>\n

With a Masters Degree in Event Management, bride Corrina involved herself as much as she could in the planning. In the months leading up to the wedding, Corrina and Steven, 33, made a quick trip to Portugal to visit their florist, attend a menu tasting at the venue and ensure everything was on track.<\/p>\n

“I wanted every element of our wedding to be personal to us and not just something a hotel has put together for us.”<\/p>\n

On August 5, 2017, almost 100 guests joined the Belfast couple in Algarve from Northern Ireland and as far as Australia.<\/p>\n

“We had the most amazing day and still cannot believe it was our wedding.<\/p>\n

“It was breathtaking – you cannot put a price on that. Plus, beans on toast is tasty anyway.”<\/p>\n
