Rita is the founder of Name It Events, a boutique wedding planning studio based in Portugal. She works closely with international couples who want a wedding that feels personal, thoughtful, and naturally refined. She has planned and coordinated destination weddings across Portugal, with a focus on a calm and well-structured process from start to finish. She takes on a limited number of weddings each year to stay closely involved with each couple and provide a dedicated, hands-on approach.
As Rita shares, “My philosophy is simple: a wedding should feel natural, balanced, and true to the couple and their story. I do not focus on excess or unnecessary complexity, instead, I refine each detail so that everything feels cohesive and aligned with the space and the atmosphere the couples wish to create.”
Rita approaches weddings as a full experience rather than a single day. She guides couples from the first moments in Portugal through the final farewell, shaping a seamless and thoughtful journey for both them and their guests. She brings a steady and structured presence throughout the planning process. Her approach helps couples stay grounded and enjoy not only the wedding day, but everything leading up to it.
Over time, she has built strong relationships across the Portuguese wedding industry, working with a range of venues and suppliers. Much of her work comes through word of mouth and personal recommendations from both past couples and industry professionals.
Rita does not impose a signature style. She works collaboratively with couples and their chosen vendors to define a direction that feels authentic and in harmony with the setting, whether it is a historic venue, a countryside estate, or an intimate outdoor space.
