I’m Here to Guide You on An
extraordinary journey
Somehow, I always knew I would be a creative entrepreneur— I just didn’t know what my journey would look like. Growing up in Portugal, I was always encouraged to study science or math, but the arts were my chosen path.
When I was just 16, I set out on my own and began my studies in business management, English, and Portuguese. A multipassionate creative, I applied to culinary and cookery production— a course that Michelin-star chefs take before they open their restaurants! I learned to manage teams, create business plans, and made connections in the hotel and hospitality industry that ultimately led to working for a fancy hotel restaurant. It should have been my dream job, but deep down, I craved something different.
When the hotel’s wedding planner resigned during wedding season, it was my moment to step up. Over a span of two years, I planned and coordinated 150+ weddings. When it came time to decide if I would continue working for the hotel, I once again went my own way and started Unique Dream Wedding in 2017. I gathered all my savings, moved to Lisbon, and opened my company. Over the past 7 years, I’ve planned hundreds more unique weddings and worked with couples from all over the world.
As a wedding planner, I invoice upwards of a million dollars per year. I started my business as an ordinary person with a dream— I didn’t work for luxury brands or know anyone. I started my business from the ground up.

10 Questions
to ask a possible client before booking the first call or meeting
These questions are my tried-and-true method for identifying whether a lead is a potential client and ensuring your time is spent wisely. It’s not worth scheduling meetings with every inquiry when you don’t yet know if they are the right fit for your services. Your time is valuable—while you can’t buy time with money, you can make money with your time.
