Your Symbolic Wedding Ceremony, In Full Detail
Each symbolic wedding ceremony is carefully planned with time, attention to detail, and professional rigour, from the initial interview to the final script. See, in detail, everything included in our celebrant service for destination weddings in Portugal.
Before our conversation
To create a truly personalised ceremony, there are a few details that can help us better prepare for the occasion.
Date and location of the ceremony
Date, time, and location of the celebration (or the venue you are considering). This information helps us check availability and prepare the logistics.
Language and cultural context
Please indicate the languages in which you would like the ceremony to be conducted. We often work in intercultural and multilingual contexts.
Travel and logistics
If the ceremony location requires travel, accommodation, or specific arrangements, it is helpful to share these details from the outset.
The creation time
Each ceremony involves a dedicated creative process, from discovering your story and writing the script to meetings and final preparation for the celebration.
If you're coming to Portugal, we'd love to meet you in person before the big day.
At a time when everything is handled remotely, we still welcome couples to our office in Lisbon, in Saldanha, by appointment. It's a chance to get to know each other properly, to show you how we work, and for you to see for yourselves whether we're the right fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
about symbolic ceremonies
What is a symbolic
ceremony?
A symbolic ceremony is a personalised celebration that marks an important moment in the life of a couple, a family, or a community. It has no legal value, but it allows for the creation of a meaningful and unique moment, designed around the story of those celebrating it.
Can a symbolic ceremony replace a civil marriage?
A symbolic ceremony has no legal value. Many couples choose to have their civil marriage first, and then a symbolic ceremony to celebrate their union in a more personal and meaningful way.
In what languages can the ceremonies be conducted?
Ceremonies can be conducted in Portuguese, English, French, Spanish, Catalan, or German, as well as in a multilingual format. When necessary, we can also arrange translation into other languages, such as Japanese or Mandarin.
Where are symbolic ceremonies celebrated in Portugal?
Our team of celebrants works across different regions of Portugal, adapting each ceremony to the location chosen by the couple or family, whether in a natural setting, on a farm, in a city, or in a more intimate venue with special personal meaning.
Can we write our own vows or customize the script?
Yes. The script is always tailored to your needs. You can bring texts, memories, or references you would like to include, and we will help shape them. You can also write your own vows, with or without the celebrant's support, in the final draft.
Who can attend and/or participate in the ceremony?
The ceremony can include family, friends, witnesses, and even other special guests in an active role — such as reading a text, presenting the rings, or taking part in a symbolic ritual. The format is agreed upon based on what the couple envisions at the moment.
