"I think it’s pretty obvious that Sofia Nascimento Studios is going to deliver a beautiful wedding (if you’ve looked at their Instagram you’ll know), but it was all the things that happened behind the scenes that really make them standout as wedding planners. This is going to be long, but worth it. 

First off, anyone planning a wedding is always concerned with budget and as a professional producer I’m hyper aware of all things financial. They were always very transparent about where money would go the furthest and be most noticed by our guests. I even asked them what they would do with an extra $10,000 and they told me they didn’t think the wedding needed it (and it didn’t because our wedding was spectacular). They are 100 percent trustworthy. In addition, everything budget related was approved by me before the money was spent. 

We planned our Lisbon wedding from Los Angeles and the communication between me and SNS was always very clear. Sofia and Carolina may be the two most positive people I’ve ever met in my life. No news was ever bad news and when you are planning a destination wedding it’s incredibly reassuring. For example, I don’t think we would have been able to get our wedding venue if it hadn’t been for them—we were 12th on the waiting list (yes! 12th!!) and I’m 100% certain the only reason we were able to get the venue is because SNS encouraged me to move forward with what I really wanted (and I had to have that venue) and after a few days of checking with all the other people on the waiting list, we got it! 

All the vendors they recommended were top-notch and if they weren’t the perfect match, they always went back to the drawing board and presented us with new options that were more in line with what we wanted. For example, Carolina found us our dream acoustic guitarist—I still have no clue how she did it because we had the most absurd request, but she did it with flying colors. 

Less than two weeks before the wedding I decided to add a gelato cart, a bigger band for cocktail hour and a few additional things throughout the day. Everything was completed by Carolina without any issues or complaints—she was beyond helpful and made everything so incredibly easy. Everything was literally delivered to me on a silver platter. 

If you are at all on the fence about hiring wedding planners, don’t be— Sofia Nascimento Studios was 100 percent worth it. If I were to do it all over again knowing what I know, I don’t even think I would have wanted a wedding because there is no way you can do what they can do— the wedding process was so stress-free and on the day of the wedding SN Studios literally took our breath away with what they created for us. All of our friends and family have told us that they we have ruined any other wedding they will ever attend because ours was so fabulous and I give most of the credit to Sofia Nascimento Studios team. Truly, from the stationary, to the menus, to the flowers, to the candles, to the chairs, to the lighting—everything was literally a magical dream! 

One of the reasons we originally fell in love with Lisbon and the reason we wanted our wedding there is because we loved the people—Sofia and team exemplify the kindness, hospitality and charm of Lisboans. You couldn’t be in two sweeter or more talented hands. You’ll not only walk away with a beautiful, stress-free wedding, but you'll walk away with two new friendships in Sofia and Carolina!"
