Testimonials

Love Spoken

SARAH & JACOB ★★★★★

Throughout the process, they were organized, responsive, and always were kind. Their warmth and genuine excitement for our wedding meant so much to us - it truly felt like we were working with friends who cared deeply about making our day perfect. And perfect it was! Every moment exceeded our expectations and reflected exactly what we had hoped for. We are beyond grateful for their hard work and heart. Thanks to our amazing wedding planners!

MIKE & LAURA ★★★★★

Meliora was absolutely amazing! From our first meeting, we knew we were in good hands. The Ritas planned our three-event wedding in and around Lisbon. It really helped that they know every vendor and venue in Lisbon. I really can't express how happy we were and how impressed we were by the whole experience. It was perfect! We loved the Ritas as wedding planners, but we also loved them as friends!

CATARINA & DUARTE ★★★★★

Best service ever. I felt such guidance and support planning my wedding with Meliora. They are super nice, easy to communicate, and flawless delivery. It is supposed to be the best day of our lives, and Ritas’ made it happen even Better than we’ve planned it. Thank you for everything.

Bá & Miguel ★★★★★

They were always there for all the tastings and meetings, and there expertise made us feel confident in every decision. Without the Rita´s dedication and patience it wouldn´t be possible. If you´re getting married soon, this is your team! You´ll not regret and you´ll want to keep them as your friends, trust me.
