The 16th Century chapel is a fitting setting for a wedding ceremony and there is a choice of rooms for celebrations, including an outside terrace area for drinks. The beautiful Arcos Room under the monastery dormitories is large enough for over 150 guests or more. The Coroa Room is a fully restored ballroom. It was once the sleeping quarters of the Portuguese Royal Family when visiting Penha Longa and retains its sense of grandeur. It features an imposing staircase and can cater for up to 570 guests.

Penha Longa's extensive history dates back to its foundation in 1355 by Friar Vasco Martins. The origins of Penha Longa can be traced back to the 14th century when its historic monastery was built and the area has been a place of sanctuary for centuries as well as a retreat for Portuguese royalty and foreign dignitaries.
