Real Stories
Love Letters from our Couples
"Anabela and Joana were absolutely incredible on our wedding day![cite: 13] It was an exceptionally hot day, but they worked tirelessly to ensure everything was perfect[cite: 13]. When my flowers weren’t quite as expected, they immediately stepped in, fixed everything, and made them even more beautiful than I had imagined[cite: 13]. Their attention to detail is amazing, and they truly went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day ran smoothly[cite: 13]. They were professional, kind, and genuinely cared about making our day special[cite: 13]. I cannot recommend Anabela and Joana enough!"[cite: 13]
"From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for all of the hard work you all put into the wedding. Everything was so perfect: from the ceremony, to the florals, to the photoshoots, to the reception. We never felt stress from you; in fact, we were more at ease when we saw you. We had an amazing time and the cake was both beautiful and delicious. Thank you all again and again."
"It was like something out of a fairy tale, better than we could have imagined, and it wouldn’t have been possible without all of you. Anabela, from the moment we talked online, we felt such wonderful energy and cannot thank you enough for a day that exceeded every expectation! You cared about every detail and celebrated our love in the best way possible. The ceremony location was breathtaking, dinner was delicious, and the story Joana wrote captured our relationship perfectly. We are so, so grateful we found you!"

"Dear Elope in Portugal team 🤍
Thank you so much for all your efforts. From being greeted so professionally by Anabela, to the wonderful hair and makeup, to Dina’s calming energy and beautiful flower arrangements, and Ana Lucia’s excitement while photographing us, we felt truly cared for by each one of you. Pedro’s musical charm and Rafael’s beautiful interweaving of Arabic culture into our ceremony made the entire experience feel even more personal and meaningful to us.
Dinner was exquisite. M. indulged in everything, and honestly, so did I, but she was absolutely in heaven.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for giving us such a beautiful and unforgettable day. Thank you as well for allowing us to celebrate such a special moment of our lives in your beautiful country. It is a memory we will carry with us forever.
Sincerely, L"
