Frequently Asked Questions
about symbolic ceremonies
What is a symbolic ceremony?
A symbolic ceremony is a personalised celebration that marks a significant milestone in the life of a couple, a family, or a community. While it holds no legal status, it allows for the creation of a deeply meaningful and unique experience, inspired by the story of
those celebrating it.
Can a symbolic ceremony replace a civil marriage?
A symbolic ceremony is not legally binding. Many couples choose to complete their legal marriage first and then hold a symbolic ceremony to celebrate their union in a more personal, heartfelt, and memorable way.
Which languages are available?
Ceremonies can be conducted in English, Portuguese, French, Spanish, Catalan, or German, as well as in a bilingual format. Where required, we can also provide translation into other languages, such as
Japanese or Mandarin.
Where in Portugal are symbolic ceremonies held?
Our team of celebrants works across various regions of Portugal, adapting each ceremony to the location of your choice — whether in a scenic natural setting, a rustic farm, a vibrant city, or a more intimate venue with
special personal meaning.
How long does it take to prepare for a ceremony?
Each ceremony involves a dedicated process of consultation, scriptwriting, and collaborative preparation with your celebrant. While the timeline varies, the creative process typically begins several weeks before the ceremony date to ensure
every detail is perfect.
What is the investment for a symbolic ceremony?
The investment depends on the type of ceremony, the level of personalisation, and any travel required. Ceremonies led by our team start from €400 + VAT. This fee covers the bespoke process of listening, creative scriptwriting, and preparation, ensuring the moment truly reflects your unique story.

Travel and logistics
If the ceremony location requires travel, accommodation, or specific arrangements, it is helpful to share these details from the outset.
