Exact location and access conditions (including parking)

It’s hard to choose just one! We’ve had the honour of celebrating love in breathtaking places from palaces full of history, golden beaches at sunset, and dramatic sea cliffs, to mythical and deeply symbolic sites like São Pedro de Vir-a-Corça, in Monsanto.
Each venue brings its own magic, but the best gigs are always those where the ceremony truly reflects the couple’s story and where everyone present feels the emotion, no matter the backdrop.

We truly enjoy all types of ceremonies — each one is unique and meaningful in its own way. But vow renewals hold a special place in our hearts. There’s something profoundly touching about celebrating love that has grown over time, with all its shared memories, resilience and depth. It’s always an honour to witness that journey.

Celebrantes – Bespoke Ceremonies began as a pioneering project in Portugal, with the mission of professionalising and uplifting the art of symbolic ceremonies.
Our mission is to uplevel the role of the celebrant, combining creativity, emotional presence and technique. We place a strong focus on innovation, which is why we particularly value working with actors, writers and creative professionals — people with a natural gift for presence, empathy and narrative.
We started gigging in response to the growing need for ceremonies that go beyond the ordinary and that’s what drives us.

We’re not so much influenced by artists in the traditional sense, but by humanists, thinkers and pioneers who shaped this craft with meaning and purpose. Our greatest inspirations come from those who believed in the power of ritual, storytelling and human connection — and from the mentors and celebrants with whom we’ve learned directly.
It’s not about the greatest song of all time — it’s about the music, words and moments that resonate deeply with each person we celebrate. Every story brings its soundtrack.

Our setup and performance times vary depending on the ceremony and setting — from intimate sunrises to golden sunsets, each moment is planned with intention. We typically arrive 1 to 2 hours in advance to ensure everything is perfectly prepared, and coordinate closely with the venue and other suppliers for a seamless flow. Every detail matters when the moment is this meaningful.

Absolutely!

Absolutely! Clients have a lot to say! It’s their story, their ceremony, and our role is to listen deeply and bring their vision to life. We don’t work with a fixed script or set list, instead, we co-create every element to reflect who they are.
Our goal is always to exceed expectations and make the moment truly unforgettable.

Previous clients often describe our ceremonies as deeply moving, authentic, and unforgettable. Many say they felt truly seen and represented, and that the atmosphere created was full of meaning, warmth, and joy. In their words: “We loved it. It was so us.”
