MARCIA FERNANDES
Creative Director and Lead Planner
of Intimate Weddings & Co.
Hey, I’m Marcia!
And I’m so happy you’re here.
My journey to the world of weddings was a unique one. I have a degree in business administration and a background in banking, but my passion for planning events and my love for the beautiful side of life led me to pursue my dream and has taken me on a remarkable journey spanning the globe, from the vibrant landscapes of Brazil to the timeless charm of Portugal.
These experiences have not only nurtured connections within the UK and internationally, but have also given me a deep appreciation for different cultures, traditions, and aesthetics. Now dividing my time between bases in the UK and Portugal, I find so much joy in the richness and diversity this brings to my life
“I just wanted to say again thank you so much for the incredible work you did on our wedding. The guests were all so impressed about the day. Really well done, you made our dream come true of get married in the garden of our home to share with family and friends the view of the richest sunset ever have in our days.”
— Mr and Mrs Scholz
Every couple is unique, and yet every couple deserves the same.
At the heart of my approach to wedding planning is a belief in embracing the true essence of every couple I am privileged to work with and infusing this authenticity into every element of their day.
