Dr Susana Martins da Silva

Susana Martins Da Silva is a dynamic and versatile professional with over 20 years of experience as an expatriate in Poland, Russia, Colombia, and South Africa. As a seasoned entrepreneur, she has successfully founded and operated a Portuguese language school for foreigners across various geographies. Her commitment to social responsibility is evident through her extensive charity fundraising efforts, supporting individuals and organizations in need in Poland and South Africa.

As a mother of four—two boys and two girls—Susana has mastered the art of balancing professional and personal life. With more than a decade of experience organizing mega company functions and thematic parties, she has honed her skills in event management, bringing creativity and meticulous attention to detail to every project.

In 2020, Susana returned to Portugal and launched a wedding venue and event planning business at Quinta da Cerca do Colégio, specializing in team-building events and themed parties. Her passion for working with young souls and innovative themes is matched by her belief that “if I can dream it, I can do it.”

Her exceptional creative skills are reflected in her love for interior design and house remodeling. Susana thrives on meeting new people from diverse backgrounds and is excited to lend her expertise and background in economics as owner and driving force at Quinta da cerca do Colégio. This historic estate, distinguished as the first stone property constructed in 1863 after the world heritage Alcobaça Monastery, provides the perfect setting for weddings, corporate functions, congresses, team-building retreats, gala dinners, or themed parties. With diverse event spaces that can be tailored to meet specific needs, Quinta da Cerca do Colégio is committed to providing exceptional service and unforgettable experiences.
