ABOUT US
MEET FATIMA - YOUR WEDDING WINGWOMAN IN PORTUGAL
Hello, I’m Fatima — wedding planner, timeline wrangler, bouquet fluffer, and your personal hype woman from “Yes!” to “I do.”
With over 15 years of experience planning weddings across Europe, I’ve helped couples turn their Pinterest boards into real-life magic. Whether you're dreaming of a barefoot beach ceremony or a palace party with chandeliers and champagne, I’m here to make it happen — with heart, humor, and zero stress.
I believe weddings should feel like you — not a production. That’s why I take time to get to know your story, your style, and your quirks (yes, even your love for ice cream at midnight).
I’ll be your sounding board, your logistics guru, and the person who always has tissues, safety pins, and snacks on hand.
What I bring to the table:
- A calm head in chaos (rain plan? Already sorted.)
- A killer vendor network across Portugal
- Fluent English (& in “wedding panic” too)
- A knack for making even the shyest couples feel like stars
When I’m not planning weddings, you’ll find me walking on the beach, dancing in the kitchen, or scouting hidden gems for my next couple’s big day.
Let’s plan a wedding that feels like a warm hug, a wild celebration, and a memory you’ll never want to forget.
