Whether it’s on a mountaintop, by the ocean, deep in a forest, or in the comfort of your own backyard, your ceremony should be as unique and unrepeatable as your love story.

Driven by a passion for creating unique and unforgettable moments, our mission is to craft symbolic ceremonies and wedding experiences that break free from the expected, always guided by your essence, your vision, and your way of loving.

How do we do that? We take the time to truly know you — your journey, your dreams, your quirks — so we can bring your vision to life. We work closely with you every step of the way, through heartfelt conversations, shared ideas, and a detailed, collaborative design process. Each ceremony evolves as a true work in progress — shaped by your story, refined through our guidance, and polished until it feels just right.

The result? A one-of-a-kind experience that feels deeply personal, authentic, and unmistakably you.

Based in Portugal, we celebrate love across the country and beyond borders, crafting ceremonies wherever your heart takes you.
We also celebrate in multiple languages — Portuguese, English, French, and German — so every couple can experience their ceremony in the language that feels most natural and meaningful to them.

From the smallest detail to the big picture, we’re here to make your ceremony feel effortlessly yours — freeing you to focus on what really matters: celebrating your love, your way.

At Once in a Lifetime, we don’t just plan ceremonies. We create experiences. We design memories. We honor love in all its forms.

Let us turn your dream ceremony into an unforgettable adventure, creating memories that will last a lifetime!
