An emotional ceremony
We hired the company Arena do Tempo to celebrate our wedding, as we wanted something more intimate. Anabela is a sweet person, the way she conducts the text and how she says the sentences is so calm and tranquil that it is indescribable. He always accompanied us throughout the entire wedding process and was tireless in preparing the entire ceremony. We did the ring ceremony and managed to touch the hearts and souls of each guest, we managed to get very emotional and everything was wonderful! For those looking for an intimate and emotional ceremony, Arena do Tempo's work is well worth it! I recommend it 100%. Thank you Anabela for everything! It remained in our hearts and in our history! on weddings.us

They made our ceremony magical
They managed to make our ceremony magical! Anabela helped us from the beginning, she was very friendly and made us feel very comfortable! The preparation of the ceremony script was very quick and efficient, we talked a few times and exchanged versions of the script. The final result was beautiful, exciting and magical! Anabela's charisma was also crucial to the emotion we felt at the ceremony... I definitely recommend it!

Show how much we enjoyed having Joana celebrating our day
There wasn't a single person who didn't praise what was done and the way it was done. I already shared with Joana that there was even a great friend of mine who said 'that if he were to get married like us, he would probably change his mind'
Thank you so much to Arena do Tempo!!!
Best wishes to you

It seemed like Joana knew us
since forever
Joana was able to tell our story exactly as it happened, showed concern throughout the process and dealt with all the setbacks. The feedback from guests was super positive and some said it felt like Joana had known us forever and was even part of the story! It was a different and very special ceremony! All requests were met and the details were handled with great care. Thanks!

Thanks for being such a fantastic part of our special day
We recently got married in Santa Cruz and were fortunate enough to find Joanna in our quest to find a celebrant for the big day.
Joanna made the process of creating the words for our ceremony very simple and was she able to capture the exact mood my wife and I were hoping for. On the day she was organised and helped settle my nerves before Rebecca walked down the aisle.
Thanks Joanna for being such a fantastic part of our happy special day.
