**IMPORTANT NOTE**
We only conduct symbolic wedding ceremonies. In Portugal the only way to be legally married is by a priest or a lawyer, we are neither. So while we cannot marry you in the highly formalized and impersonal way that the law requires, we can however, conduct an entirely bespoke wedding ceremony for your day. Thank you for understanding.
Introduction
Your European Wedding Celebrant is a collective of symbolic wedding celebrants based in Portugal and was founded in 2014. Offering to preside over marriage ceremonies across the continent of Europe, we aim to create personalized events which reflect your distinctive bond. Founded by Carly Petracco, the team comprises several officiants eager to create your perfect wedding ceremony in Portugal and across Europe.
Services Offered
The bespoke ceremonies created by Your Euopean Wedding Celebrant allow couples seeking to celebrate a destination wedding to do so in safe hands. Through a combination of thorough communication, coordination, planning, and creative assistance, we are able to bring your destination ceremony to life - right up to the moment you walk down the aisle as newlyweds.
Typically, we preside over ceremonies that last no longer than thirty minutes. This allows an unhurried, lovingly crafted ceremony to take place while also keeping everything running smoothly and in accordance with the rest of the day’s schedule.
Conveniently, Your European Wedding Celebrant offers multilingual services - we can officiate your ceremony in English, French, German, Portuguese, Flemis, Spanish or a combination of those languages.
Regardless of the type of celebration taking place, we are able to accommodate your needs thanks to our inclusive approach.
Already, we have joined over 100 couples in marriage since the company was founded - will you and your partner be part of the next 100?

Truly Personal, Special & Priceless
I can't recommend Carly and her services enough for couples looking to create a unique and truly special ceremony.

Myself being British born, raised in Portugal and marrying an Indian born in rural India and living in Delhi for 20 years...we had two very different backgrounds blending into a new life together and the regular wedding quota just didn't fit our personalities.
This is when we found Your European Wedding Celebrant. Searching for the unique...thats exactly what we found! Carly being married to a man of another nationality to hers she knew exactly what she was talking about and the kind of thing couples like us were searching for.
The service starts and ends with personal. An introductory call, followed by a long video call with you and your partner to find out all about each of you and your love story right down to the details of what you wish your ceremony to look like. On top of that Carly sent us so many helpful tips on creating a unique wedding ceremony tailored specifically for us in a hand crafted wedding pack full of inspiring ideas. You can literally create whatever you want and this service prides itself on that...truly giving you and your partner the space to create something authentically yours and we are so incredibly grateful to Carly for gifting us that! In our intimate ceremony we had at home in the Algarve, Portugal, it was East Meets West under the sun and so full of warmth, love and joy! A day and ceremony we will never forget!
I recommend this for everyone and anyone and especially those who are having troubles finding their footing because they don't just want the standard, they want something special, personal and uniquely theirs. Because your love is not like others love. It can only be yours. Carly and the Your European Wedding Celebrant Team totally gets that!
Thank you Carly from the bottom of our hearts!

Truly unforgettable
Our wedding ceremony was magical, personal and unique, thanks to Carly. She invested so much thought, care and time into every aspect of the service, from getting to know us and our love story to writing, editing and then flawlessly performing the ceremony. Our guests laughed and cried with us; everyone of the guests commented on how special it was. And such a lovely person too! Thanks Carly, we'll cherish the memories always.

Personal beautiful wedding
So many of our guests commented on what a personalised service it was! This is really a testament to Carly's attentiveness in our conversations and the level of detail/research she puts into preparing the wedding ceremony.

She always responded very promptly to any emails and was very flexible in arranging skype calls, changing small details to the ceremony and timing of our rehearsal.
Thank you!
