Why did you choose this profession?
I’ve always been fascinated by human stories, emotions, and the beauty of life. Becoming a wedding planner wasn’t a sudden idea – it was a natural evolution of everything I am. In 2024, I fulfilled a dream by founding AURA Weddings & Events. I didn’t just want to organise weddings – I wanted to deeply connect with my couples and help them tell their own story through a celebration that feels real and personal.
And somewhere along this journey, I found my heart on the Cape Verde Islands – a place of calm, light, and soulful energy that continues to inspire the way I approach every wedding I create.
What inspires you in your work?
I’m inspired by human connection – that unspoken bond you can’t define but can feel. I love combining design and aesthetics with true meaning. It’s not just how a wedding looks – it’s how it feels that matters most to me. What touches me most are the moments that are truly genuine – when time stands still and you just know this is what it’s all about.
Which moments move you the most?
It’s those magical, silent moments when two people look at each other and the world fades away. The small gestures that reveal deep connection – a glance, a smile, shared laughter. These are the moments that remind me why I chose this path.
They hold a kind of intimacy that no timeline or decoration can replace. It’s in those in-between seconds that love becomes visible. And for me, those moments are the soul of every wedding.

What tips would you give to couples who want to work with you?
If you’re looking for a wedding planner who values connection, authenticity, and intentional design, here’s what I always tell my couples. These simple tips will help you find the right match – not just for your wedding day, but for the experience leading up to it.

I listen, ask questions, and get to know my couples on a deeper level. It’s never about the perfect Pinterest vision – it’s about authenticity. I support my couples with structure and calm presence, while always keeping the bigger picture in mind: their love.
