  • It’s hard to put into words how incredibly thankful Tyler and I are to Filipa.

    She was absolutely instrumental in planning and executing our 2023 wedding. Like most couples, we dreamed of a wedding that was unforgettable, stayed within budget, and would be a cherished memory not just for us, but for our family and friends as well. Filipa helped bring that dream to life.

    From our very first interaction - meeting her in Portugal, through all the planning, countless messages, and the big day itself - everything was flawless. Working with Filipa made planning a destination wedding feel surprisingly stress-free (almost too stress-free, which felt suspicious in the best way!). We trusted the process - and, more importantly, we trusted Filipa.

    Our wedding was truly a dream. Any hiccups behind the scenes were handled so smoothly that we didn’t even know they happened. That’s the mark of a true professional. Filipa is hands-down the best wedding planner you could ask for.

    We recommend her to all our friends for weddings, engagements, and vow renewals. She’s not only an amazing planner, but also a genuinely kind and thoughtful person. If you want someone who will care just as much as you do about your big day - you’ve found her.
    Cheers!”

  • We cannot recommend Filipa enough!

    Planning a wedding from abroad can be incredibly stressful, but Filipa made the entire process feel seamless. Despite us not being in Portugal, she was incredibly detail-oriented and thought of everything - from the tiniest touches to the overall flow of the day.

    The vendors she recommended were truly top-tier. Our guests are still raving about the wedding, calling it one of the best they’ve ever attended - especially when it comes to the food! Every element felt so well-curated and high-quality.

    What really stood out was how she took all of our personal requests to heart. Thanks to Filipa’s careful planning and calm presence, we were able to fully enjoy our day without worrying about a single thing. She kept everything running smoothly and on time, all while making sure the day reflected us.

    Filipa is simply the best - thoughtful, professional, and a joy to work with.
    We would recommend her to anyone looking to plan their special day.

  • Filipa made our wedding day so special!

    She was attentive to all of our requests and answered all of our questions, and we had many questions as we were planning a wedding in Lisbon while we were in Chicago. Filipa has an eye for beautiful details and we are so happy we trusted her suggestions and ideas. Our wedding day was completely stress and anxiety free because Filipa had everything handled.

    If we got married again, I would make sure Filipa was our wedding planner!

    M&M

  • Where do I even begin? Filipa was truly the reason our wedding day was everything we dreamed of - even though I was incredibly sick.

    What should have felt like a disaster somehow became the most beautiful, love-filled day, and it’s entirely because Filipa handled everything with such calm, grace, and care.

    From the very beginning, Filipa just got us. We were living in London, then Amsterdam so we needed to ensure we had a planner who could manage everything on the ground and Filipa handled everything seamlessly. She took the time to understand our vision, our style, and what mattered most to us - and then brought it all to life in the most effortless way...I was literally the most relaxed bride because I had full implicit trust in Filipa. But what really sets her apart is how she showed up when things didn’t go to plan. I became violently ill right before the wedding, and I was heartbroken. But Filipa never once let it show that anything was off. She made sure I could rest, went home and back to pick up anti-nausea bracelets for me, and still kept the energy and joy alive for everyone else. I'm so grateful.

    Her attention to detail, the way she managed vendors, and her ability to keep everything running smoothly was nothing short of perfect. 

    If you’re lucky enough to have Filipa plan your wedding, know that you’re in the best hands.
    She doesn’t just plan weddings - she creates memories, even when the unexpected hits.
    Ours is a day I’ll treasure forever, and I have her to thank for that.

  • We cannot recommend Filipa highly enough!

    Planning our wedding from Dublin could have been stressful, but Filipa made the entire experience feel easy and joyful. She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process - always available for video calls, quick to respond to messages, and truly attentive to every detail we cared about. From the very beginning, Filipa made us feel supported, heard, and understood. Her warmth, professionalism, and genuine excitement for our wedding made all the difference.

    Thanks to her, our day in Lisbon was more beautiful than we could have ever imagined.
    We are so grateful for her dedication and heart, and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding, whether local or abroad.”

    O&S

  • We fell in love with Portugal and Lisbon after travelling there several times and dreamed of getting married in the country and city we fell in love with.

    Coordinating a wedding in a country that is an ocean and several time zones away and where we do not speak the language seemed impossible, but
    Filipa helped us make the impossible possible.

    Her help and everything that she put into making the dream of our special day become reality is truly priceless. Throughout the entire planning process and more importantly on the day we were getting married Filipa was there for us answering countless questions, coordinating with countless people and really made sure that we were able to focus on what matters most, each other and our friends and family.

    We can’t thank you enough for making this day so special.”

  • “Filipa was very accommodating with our questions / special requests and we were able to have multiple zoom calls with her to discuss details. While she may have been in the midst of peak wedding season, Filipa always managed to get back to our list of questions in a timely and thorough manner. We were planning our wedding in Lisbon from NY, but felt very taken care of.

    Filipa was very easy to work with and did a great job as the day of point person / coordinator.
    We felt a huge stress lifted off our shoulders on our special day.
    The venue was set up beautifully, she executed on our special vision and we received many compliments on all of the little details.

    I highly recommend working with Filipa!

  • "Filipa was a huge help to us - especially since we weren’t in Portugal at the time. We were in the middle of a big move and really relied on her to make the best decisions and coordinate everything on our behalf.

    She pulled off a flawless event, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

    M&M

  • "We were nervous about getting married in a foreign country far from home. But as soon as we met with Filipa she made us feel comfortable about the idea and we could not have been happier.

    Through her kindness and confidence she exceeded our expectations, delivered on all of our requests, and even coached my father-in-law, preparing him for his wedding speech.

    Genuinely a dream wedding."

  • Filipa helped us have our dream destination wedding from NYC!
    It was everything we could have asked for and felt like a true fairytale in a castle on the beach.

    We had lots of special requests that she was able to accommodate without hesitation. Every answer was “yes” or “we can find a way”. She agreed to have our ceremony aisle facing a different direction than was traditional at our chosen venue, which turned out to be the most perfect choice for us. She helped us coordinate and communicate with vendors such as musicians, DJ, decorators, and photographers.

    On the day of the wedding she was very involved but behind the scenes, fixing my vail before I walked down the aisle and making sure the seat cushions did not get wet from a light drizzle before the ceremony.

    Our wedding was 2 years ago but we still have guests tell us how impressed they were with our event. We owe it all to Filipa!”

  • Filipa was such a huge help with our wedding day!
    She went through several rounds of edits helping tailor our wedding preferences to exactly what we wanted at Forte Da Cruz. We live in the US so we were only able to visit once in advance of the wedding. She helped walk us through the venue to ensure that it would be set up how we wanted.

    We unfortunately had bad weather the weekend of the wedding and the day before had to change several aspects and locations of the wedding. She was so helpful to relieve my stress and come up with a back up plan the morning of the wedding. I was shocked when getting to the venue how perfectly it was set up. She helped the day run on time according to our timeline and was always able to help with any requests I had.

    She was a great help to our planning process from afar and on the day of the wedding!!”

    K&K

  • Filipa was an absolute professional and meticulous in planning the perfect destination wedding
    for us at Arriba in Cascais, Portugal.

    While planning the event over the course of many months, Filipa was our direct contact with us via Zoom and email and always made herself available whenever we had questions (and we had many of them!). Once our wedding day came around, the ceremony and reception area were absolutely perfect -- down to the finest details. Filipa was on-site coordinating our entire wedding itinerary and in constant contact with the photographers, DJ, kitchen, and planning team. She was zooming around the venue to make sure everything went according to plan.

    All in all, she was an incredible wedding planner and I highly recommend her talents to anyone looking to plan a wedding in the Lisbon area. Thank you, Filipa!”

    O&A

  • Our wedding would not have been the same without any of Filipa’s help.

    She made the process go much more smoothly than if my husband and I tried to plan it ourselves!! Planning a wedding is hard, but planning a wedding overseas? That’s out of our comfort zone for sure. So we found our venue but didn’t know where to begin. Filipa gave us excellent options and advice on what to choose for our fairytale, by-the-beach wedding. …and to add a cherry on top, on our wedding night, she was able to make it last a few more precious hours longer with our friends and families at the venue. Keep in mind, this may not happen for you because it will involve the venue’s consent, but with Filipa’s ethic and charm, you have a better chance than any other of it happening.

    Thank you so much Filipa, for crafting a wedding that people still talk about, but more importantly, made us truly feel special on our grand day. Filipa, we will always remember you <3”
