eas, tons of great insights and a lot of action!” by Belief Wedding Planners
My world is where Creativity meets Excellence"
All my work begins with a blank sheet, and all my weddings are like a script of a love story
Like a book ... A BOOK OF LOVE! More than just tendencies, my Weddings are Love Stories, where all the couple story is incorporated and where the identity of each couple and my own fingerprint are always present. I love traveling, I love the sea, I love theater and I love Cirque du Soleil. All these influences are part of my creations, so I believe there should be no limits on how we think and create a wedding. Everything is possible and we should dream as much as we wish and make it happen on the day of the wedding! I love culture and to have been born in a country so rich in heritage and culture, the cultural aspects of each place and each couple are important for me to be present on the day of the wedding as part of each love story. I believe that we all fall in love in different ways, so I believe that all weddings must also be different, just as our passion is! I do not believe in impossible ideas. I believe that certain ideas need to be adapted and reorganized to materialize. In the end a "A Wedding is a Past, a Present and a Future" and just as a writer my job is to tell that Story of Love that happens through the time until the day of the wedding. Started my career in event industry at 19 years old and at 26 years old I started my career as a Wedding Planner constructed until nowadays from experience, specialized training and certification, passion and a natural talent for transforming the ordinary into extraordinary. During the past years i launched several innovative projects and wedding services in Portugal being a Wedding Activist and one of the professionals that most contributed for the recognition of Portugal in the International Wedding Industry

Specialized and trained in NY, being the only Portuguese professional Certified by ABC association (Association of Bridal Consultants), and international certification juri of the National Wedding Council in New York and the only Portuguese professional with the distintion of Wedding Tourism Specialist

Querétaro, Mexico
What an extraordinary experience it was to be part of the Congreso de Bodas y Eventos Sustentables LAT in the beautiful city of Querétaro, Mexico — a gathering filled with passion, innovation, and a shared commitment to shaping the future of our industry.

This year’s congress focused on sustainability — not just as a trend, but as a true movement towards awareness, responsibility, and the well-being of our planet and the people behind every celebration.

It was a powerful reminder that the weddings of tomorrow must not only be beautiful, but also conscious, balanced, and purposeful.
It was an inspiring and transformative experience — a moment of learning, reflection, and connection with so many professionals who are building this new era of weddings with integrity and care.

I had the honor of joining the stage as a speaker, alongside two remarkable minds — Adrian Pavia from Argentina and Kitzia Morales, President of IADWP. Together, we explored the future of our profession in this digital age, discussing how technology, creativity, and sustainability now walk hand in hand to redefine what it means to be a Wedding Planner.

From digital transformation to emotional authenticity, from innovation to environmental consciousness — this dialogue reminded us that evolution is not about changing who we are, but about expanding our purpose.
Grateful for this opportunity to share, to learn, and to keep growing within a global community that believes, like I do, that the future of weddings is human, sustainable, and meaningful.
Thanks to for the photos

And as I continue to share my voice and experience around the world, I look forward to more opportunities to inspire and be inspired.
If you believe my message could bring value to your next event or conference — let’s create something meaningful together.

Hoje celebro uma data muito especial: os 10 anos de casamento de um casal que me marcou profundamente. &

Passada uma década, este continua a ser um daqueles casamentos que permanece vivo na memória, não apenas pelo cenário improvável – um kartódromo – mas, sobretudo, pelo que ele simbolizou.

Numa indústria que tantas vezes se fecha em ideias pré-fabricadas, replicações e formalidades que nem sabemos bem de onde vêm, este casamento foi (e é) um manifesto daquilo em que acredito: um casamento deve ser uma celebração de amor sem limites, sem fronteiras, sem barreiras. Deve ser a expressão genuína do casal e da sua história.

E foi exatamente isso que aconteceu há 10 anos: um dia autêntico, disruptivo e absolutamente fiel ao amor que unia os noivos.

Hoje, só posso desejar que a vida continue a dar-vos tudo o que merecem e que nunca deixem de celebrar esse amor fantástico que vos define.
Parabéns pelos vossos 10 anos!

Sonia & Reiss - Designing for Emotions

A wedding is never just about décor, images, flavors, or sounds. It goes far beyond what the eye can see or the ear can hear. What truly lingers are the emotions, the human connections, and the invisible threads of feeling that bind us all in those moments.

As a Designer, I don’t create only for the visual. I design for emotions — because vision is perception, but feeling is deeper, more magical, and eternal. It was a privilege to shape this wedding with my colleague and Wedding Planner Priti Raichura , together creating something unique and profoundly special for an extraordinary couple who have forever marked my heart.

None of this could have been told so powerfully without the incredible photography team led by Nuno Lopes — who captured not only what was seen, but also what was felt. And to my floral life partner Sandra Nogueira, my gratitude for bringing to life what I dream, draw, and envision, turning ideas into tangible magic.

These images speak a small.part of what those incredible days were — but more than anything, they reflect a devotion to what I love most: designing moments, experiences, visions, and concepts where emotions take center stage and rise far beyond the visual.

Because in the end, weddings are not just witnessed. They are felt.

Posted• A Modern Muse, Eternally Herself

When a bride channels Audrey—with the grace of old Hollywood and the heart of today—she doesn’t just echo a style icon, she becomes one. A portrait of timeless beauty, wrapped in romance, lit by love.
Classic, yes—but entirely her own.
This moment? Forever.

Welcoming a couple from abroad to Portugal is always something special, but this time it was even more meaningful — because they came through the hands of a dear friend and someone I deeply admire: the one and only

Working with you, Percy, was a true joy from beginning to end — a beautiful exchange of vision, passion, and dedication to what we love most: creating unforgettable moments.

This photo taken by the incredible captures so much of what that day was about — a perfect blend of elegance, boldness, romance, and pure celebration.

Thank you Percy for trusting me — and Portugal — to be part of this love story. My heart is full.

Until we meet again.

• Portugal—You Were Pure Magic. On to the Next.

Well, that’s a wrap on this unforgettable wedding in Portugal!

Not only did I get to help bring my client’s dream day to life, but I had the absolute joy of working alongside some truly incredible vendors who brought the magic with me.

And the cherry on top? A little post-wedding escape to beautiful Seville —before heading back to Lisbon for one last night. Bags are packed, heart is full, and I’m heading home tomorrow with memories I’ll treasure forever.
