About Me
I am a symbolic wedding celebrant, guided by words and presence, and by
a lifelong curiosity for people and their stories.
Iam proudly a certified symbolic wedding celebrant, trained by The Celebrants Collective in the UK.
A path chosen with intention, care, and deep respect for each couple’s story.

Why I do this
Becoming a celebrant was my way of honouring three lifelong passions: people and their stories, intimate and emotional writing, and the careful craft of meaningful moments.
Rooted in values
People & their stories
Writing with depth and care
Creating meaningful moments
And always, with care and intention.
“Working with Mariana was the best experience. Everything she created felt true to us.”

My path
- I am also a copywriter and Portuguese-language proofreader.
- I hold a degree in Economics, though for me, 2 + 2 has always been 5.
- Words spoke louder than numbers, and eventually, I listened.
Outside the script
- A traveller drawn to off-the-beaten-track paths.
- A yoga practitioner, book lover, and someone who believes presence is a practice.
- Always learning. Always listening. Always evolving.

How I became a celebrant
When I was told I could make a living as a wedding celebrant, I didn’t hesitate. I believe that’s what happens when passion meets purpose.
