Ceremonies

A symbolic ceremony is a personalized celebration that reflects the essence of the couple and the meaning of their union. It has no religious or legal character, and focuses on the couple's feelings and stories. It is ideal for those who want a unique and intimate ceremony! At AMOR&Ponto Celebrantes we create a ceremony that is completely aligned with what you idealize: whether it is more romantic, more fun or more traditional, what we guarantee is always lots of emotion, laughter and tears of happiness!

No, the symbolic ceremony has no legal validity. We recommend that the couple perform the civil marriage at the registry office or preferred location before or after the symbolic ceremony.

At AMOR&Ponto Celebrantes, all ceremonies are celebrated by experienced professional Celebrants, who specialize in creating unique and moving texts that reflect the story and values of each couple. We give life and voice to your story in a way that is moving and impactful for everyone present! Depending on the type of ceremony you want and the availability of the team, we introduce you to the Celebrant who will accompany you in this important moment. The entire process is always carried out together with Daniela, all to ensure that your big day is exactly as you dream and deserve!

Of course! AMOR&Ponto Celebrantes is proud to celebrate love in all its forms. We create inclusive and personalized ceremonies, reflecting the essence of each couple, without exception. For us, love is universal and deserves to be celebrated in an authentic and exciting way!

Of course! All of the ceremonies we create are personalized according to the couple’s profile and wishes. From your story, through your vows, to the inclusion of mentions of family and friends, and the possibility of performing symbolic rituals, we work to ensure that every detail is special and in your image! This is your wedding ceremony and therefore it should and deserves to be celebrated in an authentic and special way!

The sky is the limit! We can always create Personalized Rituals, including some of the most common options such as:

If you have an idea of your own, we're happy to adapt it for you!

The average duration of a symbolic ceremony is 25 to 45 minutes, depending on the texts, vows, speeches by family or friends and rituals chosen by the couple.

Of course! If you wish to read the text of the ceremony, we will share it with you about 1 month in advance so that you can read it and confirm that everything is in line with what you want. If you prefer it to be a surprise, that is also possible! It is completely up to you!

The Wedding Celebrant is the person responsible for planning, creating and conducting the Wedding Ceremony in a special, exciting way, in keeping with the bride and groom’s image. Together with the bride and groom, they create the ceremony of their dreams, in which everything is completely personalized, and may include the participation of family and friends with speeches, symbolic rituals to mark the union, the moment of the vows, in short… everything is done and created in your image and according to your dreams!

  1. Personalized ceremony completely created to the taste of the bride and groom – The Celebrant includes and reflects the bride and groom in the ceremony he or she performs. These celebrations are completely adaptable to each couple that comes to us. This means that there will never be a ceremony that is the same, as each couple and love story is unique and unrepeatable!
  2. Symbolic and Unique Celebration – As it is a completely personalized ceremony, it reflects the essence and history of the couple, ensuring that everyone present is involved in a profound moment of love, emotion and connection.
  3. Family and friends can be involved in the ceremony – If the bride and groom wish, family and friends can participate in the ceremony, whether through speeches or at a specific moment. It is possible for the most important people in your lives to actively participate.
  4. Unforgettable Ceremony – In addition to being memorable for you, it will also be memorable for the most important people in your lives. Your ceremony will be talked about by friends and family for many years to come!

A ceremony performed by a celebrant has no legal or legal validity. Most couples choose to formalize the process at the Registry Office a few days before the wedding, or on the day after the ceremony. This way, they can experience a special and genuine ceremony, in their own image, having already formalized the contractual procedures with the legal entities for this purpose. 

Once you have decided on the date and location of your wedding, it is time to hire the remaining suppliers! We recommend that you hire your Celebrant as soon as possible to ensure that we are available on your wedding date to celebrate your love story!

We begin the process of creating the ceremony, after the initial contact and your intention to have us by your side at this important moment! 

  1. Kick-off meeting to get to know each other and talk about your wishes and expectations for the ceremony.
  2. Ceremony Creative Process Meeting, where you tell us your story and everything you want for this
    such an important moment. During the period leading up to the ceremony, the various meetings create a bond of intimacy between the bride and groom and the celebrant, which ends up reassuring and assuring the bride and groom that at the moment of saying “I do” they don’t need to think about anything else other than the happy ending! 
  3. Creative Process and Script Writing. The entire creative process of writing and creating the ceremony script is done in your image, 100% personalized to you and your story. We provide a first draft where we adjust and change whatever you consider necessary until we reach the perfect version!
  4. Monitoring and total availability to meet with the bride and groom or provide any clarification/assistance needed. Whether via email, social media or WhatsApp, the AMOR&Ponto team is always available to help you.
  5. The big day has arrived! On the wedding day, AMOR&Ponto will be at the ceremony venue 1 hour beforehand to coordinate with the other suppliers the various aspects of the ceremony, as well as welcome the guests and direct them to their seats. We ensure that everything runs as wonderfully and magically as possible. After all, this is your big day!

We are Love Story Tellers and Celebrants, so of course!

The ceremony is a reflection of who you are and your beliefs, so we can incorporate your faith in whatever way makes sense to you!
