We booked a wedding venue in Portugal and were given some suggestions of wedding planners. From the moment we saw Rui’s instagram we knew we had to speak to him. The photos on his page were so different to all of the others that we had seen and really stood out. We knew we didn’t want a completely traditional wedding but are not very creative ourselves and so needed help with ideas. We contacted Rui online and he responded immediately, I then had a call with Rui and from the moment we spoke I was sure he was the wedding planner for us. Rui spent time getting to know us and exploring what we envisaged for our day. The brief simply was that we would like a traditional and elegant ceremony and dinner followed by a massive party, and that’s exactly what Rui and his team delivered. We love to travel and go to festivals with one of our favourite festivals being Tomorrowland. Rui incorporated this into the day and it was just amazing. We and our guests were blown away. A number of our guests noted that the Rui had us down to a tee and that the day was exactly us. As well as delivering a day that we will never forget Rui and his team were professional and lovely, and looked after us and our guests on the day and beforehand from the minute we arrived in Portugal. We encountered some issues with regards to legalities and paperwork just before the wedding and I truly believe if we didn’t have Rui we would not have been able to get married and have the day that we dreamed of. He worked tirelessly to ensure that we had exactly what we wanted and more. Rui and his team will always be in our heart and we will be forever grateful to them.

Sem palavras.
Desde a primeira reunião que tivemos com o Rui que soubemos logo ali que seria a pessoa ideal para organizar o maior dia das nossas vidas.
Vibe incrível, energia, profissionalismo. Um trabalho excelente e um dia que tenho a certeza vai ficar na memória de todos nós que tivemos presentes, para sempre.
Acredito plenamente que quando amamos o que fazemos, desfrutamos muito mais, colocamos paixão em cada detalhe e o Rui é a personificação disso mesmo.
Foi um prazer para nós conhecer o Rui, privar consigo e temos a certeza, ter criado uma amizade que vai permanecer daqui para a frente.
Obrigado de coração por tudo, mas principalmente pelo esforço para que o nosso dia fosse tão especial e sem um único pequeno erro.
Um grande abraço,

I’m not quite sure where to even begin with Rui because there’s just so much to say. My now husband and I hired Rui to plan our big fat Armenian wedding in Portugal. We live in the US, so I was a bit nervous about blindly hiring someone from afar, but I have zero regrets. Rui made every detail and second of our wedding week incredibly special. He’s truly an artist at heart, so nothing he does falls within the realm of conventional wedding planning. We knew we wanted a traditional Armenian wedding, we just didn’t know how to make that happen in a foreign country. Rui went above and beyond to learn about our culture, traditions, music, and food. He then incorporated parts of them into our wedding, adding his special touches along the way. It’s so evident that he is extremely passionate about what he does and even more passionate about making your wedding day an unforgettable production no matter the size. Our wedding festivities were 3 days, with 150 guests from out of the country. He managed everything A to Z, including situating full teams for hair and makeup for 30-40 Armenian women. That alone deserves an award! He’s a kind, respectful, and truly talented individual. By the end of the whole thing, Rui had become part of our big loud family. He made the wedding of our dreams a reality. I can’t recommend him enough!
