Savoy Palace, Madeira Wedding Videographer

About Savoy Palace

Savoy Palace is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World on the Avenida do Infante in Funchal, Madeira, about 800 metres from the city centre and 22 km from Madeira airport. It has 352 rooms and suites, many facing the ocean.

For weddings it offers a ballroom of 928 square metres for up to 900 seated guests, alongside smaller rooms for dinners and welcome events, so even the largest celebrations can stay in one place with the whole wedding party under the same roof.

Filming a wedding at Savoy Palace

Madeira gives a film something the mainland cannot: the Atlantic on every side, dramatic cliffs and gardens in flower all year. We plan portraits around the island’s changing light, often on the hotel terraces facing the bay of Funchal.

For a destination wedding on an island, logistics matter. We travel with the full crew and equipment, and plan the coverage with your planner so every event is covered without anyone waiting for us.

Planning your wedding film at Savoy Palace

Madeira changes the film: the ocean on every side, cliffs, and gardens in flower all year. The weather changes quickly, so a flexible timeline helps. Sunset times change with the season and the weather changes quickly on the island, so we plan the timeline backwards from sunset and keep a plan B.

• Plan the portraits around the island's changing weather, with an indoor option ready in the hotel.
• For a large celebration in the ballroom, share the layout with us so we can plan camera positions.
• Since the hotel hosts the whole wedding party, we can film the preparations, the ceremony and the party in one place.
• Ask the hotel about its rules for drone footage near the ocean.

Getting there: Savoy Palace is about 22 km from Madeira airport, about 20 minutes by car without traffic.
