Whether you’re planning a leadership retreat, a team-building day or a big celebration, we’ll take the planning off your hands. Every event is built around your organisation, your goals and your guests.
WELCOME
We are LUME, your event planning partner in Lisbon
LUME Events is a Lisbon-based corporate event agency and DMC. We plan and run company offsites, leadership retreats, conferences, AGMs, team-building days, gala dinners and incentive trips in Lisbon, Porto, Cascais, Sintra, Comporta, the Alentejo and Arrábida, for international clients. We work as part of your team, coordinating every detail to align with your goals, branding and vision.
WHAT WE DO
Excellence in every detail
Wherever you are in the world, you can count on LUME as your local partner in Portugal to deliver high-quality events that meet international standards of excellence. We take care of every detail of your corporate event in Portugal, so you don’t have to. Venues, transfers, experiences and team activities, all planned around your group and run by people who know Lisbon inside out.
Exceptional Venues
We know Portugal's venues well, from palaces and wine estates to riverside spaces and rooftops. Tell us about your group and we'll find the one that fits, beyond the usual hotel chains.
Transportation
We plan every transfer around your group's arrivals and timings, and cost it all up front. No surprises on the budget or on the day.
Tailored Experiences
From a sunset sail to a private dinner in a palace, we design experiences that feel like your company, not an off-the-shelf package.
Team Building Focus
Bringing a remote or international team together? We design activities that get people talking, laughing and working together, so they go home more connected than they arrived.

ALL IN ONE
Stress-free planning
on-point execution
Planning the right corporate event takes time, effort, attention to detail, local knowledge and a world of expertise. Let us handle the details so you can focus on what really matters.
WHY CHOOSE US
Expertise you can trust
At LUME, we recognise that your event is more than just a gathering. It reflects your brand and your values, so there’s no room for errors. We’ve been planning corporate events in Portugal for years, and we know what it takes to get every detail right. Here’s what makes us different:
Multicultural
We are fluent in both the local culture and international event standards. We know Portugal and we know what international teams expect, so nothing gets lost in translation, from the first email to the last dinner.
Versatile
Your ideas shape the event. We listen, adapt to what you need and build each programme around your goals, whether that's a multi-day offsite or a single evening.
PART OF YOUR TEAM
We work as an extension of your team, from the first brief to the last guest home. One point of contact, clear updates at every stage and a senior producer on hand throughout.
EXPERIENCED
We've planned offsites, conferences and gala dinners for clients like White Star Capital, Butternut Box and HH Global. What we're aiming for is simple: an event your team remembers for all the right reasons.
“Gathering, the conscious bringing together of people for a reason, shapes the way we think, feel, and make sense of our world.”
Priya Parker, The Art of Gathering

TESTIMONIALS
What our clients say
“They helped me find a catering service when no one else was available, especially during the high season when it seemed impossible. Thanks to their personal contacts, they sorted everything out in good time and were always fantastic about being available when needed!”
Marina Torres, Managing Director at L'Oréal Luxe Brazil
“The entire event was superbly planned, communicated and executed from start to finish, resulting in the highest quality leadership event that we have ever held. At every moment of the trip we felt well looked after, and as though we were being hosted by friends.”
David Nolan, Co-founder at Butternut Box
“I worked with Marcella from LUME Events for an offsite event in Lisbon. From the beginning to the end Marcella was incredibly thorough with organization and details – her spreadsheets are impressive!”
Nicki Mughal, Chief People Officer at White Star Capital
“Marcella's attention to detail and dedication provided us with peace of mind. She and her team put together a fantastic program, everything was planned to the very last detail. She not only met but exceeded our requirements.”
Eric Martineau-Fortin, Managing Partner at White Star Capital
