CAN I MARRY YOU?

Congratulations! You’ve already had one proposal…now I want to marry you too!

My name is Lucy Fox, a 48 year old British (i.e. english-speaking) wedding celebrant living on the Algarve, Portugal.

A celebrant is the person who conducts the all-important ceremony on your wedding day. And I can’t stress enough how crucial it is to get this bit right.

A former Newsreader, I took a huge career change and now use my skills in a way I never thought imaginable: conducting highly personal marriage services for those wanting to tie the knot here.

The one thing I can guarantee is your service will be unique, totally ‘bespoke’, reflecting who you both are; I get in touch with friends & family and I tell your story – no clichés, no ‘copy and paste’, just a genuine ceremony reflecting who you are.

If what everyone tells me is true, my ceremonies are like none you (or your guests) will ever have been to – a truly memorable occasion, in one of the most heavenly settings on earth.

Sometimes the opinions of real people are the most helpful, so have a look at what some of those I’ve married say – I’m sure they wouldn’t mind you contacting them if you’d like more information: 

FACEBOOK REVIEWS

A celebrant is not a Registrar so I can’t conduct the legal paperwork; that’s usually done in your home country before coming to Portugal. But in every other sense, everything is exactly what you’d expect from a wedding service, right down to the rings and vows.

When I find a venue I love, I sometimes make VIDEOS to give others a flavour of what they have in store.

Happy planning – and get in touch if you think I’m the kind of person you’d like to marry you!

TESTIMONIALS

Elizabeth & Blake Lavelle, April 2023 Lucy is such a kind and talented celebrant, she carefully crafted every word & got to know us on a personal level and was able to capture us as a couple perfectly. It was such an emotional ceremony with funny anecdotes intertwined, most of our guests shed lots of happy tears and all who came said it was such a beautiful day. Thank you…

You may be happy to organise your own wedding entirely by yourself – if so, there’s a brilliant FACEBOOK GROUP which links couples with other couples who’ve already held ceremonies on the Algarve.  Most of the local suppliers are also in the group and can give a huge amount of great local advice: CLICK LINK: PORTUGAL’S BEST WEDDING CHAT ROOM (FACEBOOK)     PLANNERS:  But if you’d like to have someone take…

ABOUT LUCY

I love hearing and sharing people’s stories; it’s what I did throughout my 20 year career as a Journalist and Newsreader, it’s my passion. People often comment “aha, no wonder you ask so many questions, you’re a journalist”. The truth is, it’s the other way around; I became a journalist because I’ve always loved people’s stories and always asked lots of questions…and it’s exactly why I became a wedding celebrant….

“Couples spend so much time ensuring everything’s perfect for their wedding. But the most important bit is so often overlooked; the ceremony itself. And it’s made or broken by the person conducting the service. It’s by far the most important bit to get right on the day”.

It was the first thing I learnt in my celebrant training and it’s so very true.

Everyone’s love story is unique so you need someone who’ll shape your ceremony into who you are; stamp your character on to it and make the day totally ‘yours’. I dedicate time getting to know your story; what brought you together, what makes you ‘tick’ and where you see your lives going. I then use this to write a ceremony that’s totally personal to you.

My background as a broadcaster and conference moderator means I’m totally at ease conducting your service; giving it pace, warmth, personality and professionalism.

Together we’ll choose the perfect style to reflect your personalities and cultures and the perfect words to express your feelings. And don’t worry, I’m there with lots of ideas and help to guide you along the way.

So what are we waiting for? Let’s get planning your Big Day in Portugal!
