Wedding planning and coordination
Scroll to open the invitation
Since 2002 I have turned love stories into one-of-a-kind weddings in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Bahia.
Meet Márcia
My path began in law, but it was in the world of events that I found one of my greatest passions. In 2009 I was invited to plan the wedding of a nationally renowned Brazilian actress. It was my first wedding, and that day I realized I had the chance to turn wishes and dreams into unforgettable experiences.
Since then I have planned more than 500 celebrations, from intimate weddings to grand productions. I don't believe in weddings made from a formula. Every story calls for a different eye, and that personal approach guides my work, always with discretion, calm and excellence.

Featured · Santa Teresa, Rio de Janeiro
A wedding in the national spotlight, planned with the intimacy the couple wanted.
The project came through a referral and brought a special challenge: balancing the discretion the couple wished for with the enormous public attention on the celebration. Access logistics, security and every detail called for meticulous planning and a perfectly aligned team.
Heloísa wanted a minimalist, elegant and welcoming celebration, where less is more. The flower girls walking in to the Beatles and Beretta, the couple's dog, carrying the rings added a tender touch to the day.
It went beyond any expectation. Everything was per-fect! Consider yourself responsible for the happiest day of our lives.

Frequently asked questions
Before choosing any vendor, decide together on the wedding you want to live: the style, how many guests you want to invite, the budget, the season or date, where you picture the celebration and what matters most to you as a couple. Planning starts from there.
Ideally right at the start, before booking the main vendors. That way your planner helps you set priorities and budget, choose and negotiate with vendors, review proposals and contracts and build the timeline for each stage. Couples usually hire about a year ahead.
Full planning supports the couple from the very beginning of the planning until the end of the wedding. Partial planning is for couples who have already started and made some decisions: it organizes what has been done, identifies what is missing and leads the next stages.
Planning is the preparation and follow-up over the months. Coordination is the organization and execution of the big day: the processional, guidance for the wedding party and families, the timing and the vendors during the event. The two work together so you can feel at ease before, during and after.
Even couples who organize everything themselves need someone on the day to receive the vendors, keep the schedule, organize the processional, guide the wedding party, parents and children, and handle the unexpected. Having a professional means having someone who knows the way and takes care of everything behind the scenes, so you can simply live the moment.
Yes. I work mainly in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Bahia, and plan destination weddings all over Brazil, including for couples who live abroad and choose to marry here.
