Symbolic Wedding in Portugal
Symbolic Wedding Ceremony in Portugal
A symbolic wedding ceremony celebrates your commitment through words and moments chosen for you. It does not create a legal marriage and can take place separately from your civil wedding.
Whether it is just the two of you or a celebration with the people closest to you, your ceremony is co-created from the beginning and led by a professional celebrant.

Created together, from the beginning
Through Celebrantes – Bespoke Ceremonies®, we take time to understand your story, your priorities and the tone you want for your ceremony. Your script is written specifically for you.
Personal vows, readings, music and contributions from loved ones can be woven into the ceremony. We agree the language or languages with you and coordinate the ceremony with the wider plans for your day.
The setting is selected with you, taking account of availability, permissions and the practical conditions of the location.
Your ceremony, kept in print
Your ceremony includes a collection of printed keepsakes:
- Your ceremony script in book format, with a personalised cover and textured paper.
- Your symbolic marriage certificate.
- Your personalised timeline for the day.
All presented together in a kraft Keepsake Box to keep as a reminder of your celebration.
