Team
Our dedicated Wedding Team
Filipa Leite
Wedding Planner & Cultural Visionary
Both elegance and ambition define Filipa. She thrives where logistics meet emotion, finding creative ways to connect cultures, timelines, and dreams.
Known for turning challenges into seamless flow, she believes every problem hides an opportunity waiting to be styled beautifully.
Fun fact: Can walk on escalators in the wrong direction. Still arrives first.
Ana Ferreira
Wedding Planner & Creative Mastermind
A creative mind with a methodical heart. Ana transforms pressure into poetry, finding beauty in the most unpredictable moments.
Her teamwork spirit makes every wedding feel like a beautifully choreographed improvisation.
Fun fact: Known for epic Plan Bs, rainproof optimism, and laughter that shows up right when everyone needs it most.
Ana Jaques
Wedding Planner & Chief Cheer Officer
She plans with her heart first and her checklist second. Emotional, intuitive, and fiercely determined, Ana makes every couple feel seen.
Once convinced a bride to shoot in torrential rain, and then spent an hour drying the dress with a hairdryer. The result? Pure magic.
Fun fact: Organises her wardrobe by colour and type. It’s a work of art (and possibly needs some therapy).
Catarina Silva
Wedding Planner & Spontaneity in Motion
Spontaneous, curious, and always ready to see things differently. Catarina brings a burst of new energy to every wedding. She questions, reinvents, and finds creative angles that turn plans into something better.
Her mix of humour, intuition, and boldness keeps the team inspired and every celebration uniquely alive.
Fun fact: Once made twenty people change bars because the menu didn’t please her. They thanked her later.
Amanda Junges Stein
Wedding Planner & Flow Keeper
Amanda anticipates needs before they’re voiced and solves hurdles before they exist. Detail-driven and quietly confident, she transforms complex logistics into graceful experiences.
From travel plans to last-minute vows, she ensures every moment unfolds with intention.
Fun fact: Celebrates every success with dog videos and salmon-and-purée dinners.
Carolina Português
Marketing Manager & Trends Translator
Trend-savvy and story-driven, Carolina turns Mary Me’s essence into narrative. She mixes creativity with intuition and keeps every campaign intentional, elegant, and alive.
The office’s “therapist without a degree,” she brings order where there’s overwhelm and laughter where there’s silence.
Fun fact: Secretly unbeatable at freestyle dance (sangria helps).
Maria João
Sales Representative & Chaos-to-Calmness Transformer
She sells with the same ease she uses to spot the best flight deals. She once dressed an overly cheerful groom, danced Zumba (with her two very left feet) alongside the bride in front of a full crowd, and even played hostess at a friend’s wedding without ever getting the briefing.
She ignores problems and chases solutions… that and hidden restaurants serving divine food.
Fun fact: She knows every second-hand shop in Porto and is a true ninja of promotions.
Ana Montenegro
Executive Manager & Order Maestro
Master of the unseen, Ana keeps everything running seamlessly. Schedules, details, and occasionally hearts.
With empathy, wit, and the rare gift of making structure feel like magic, she turns organisation into an art form.
Fun fact: Can’t resist reorganising a perfectly organised drawer. Just for fun.
Joana Nogueira
Finance Manager & Balance Keeper
The calm behind the numbers. Joana brings balance, foresight, and quiet confidence to every project.
With the precision of a finance expert and the eye of a photographer, she keeps the whole operation running smoothly.
Fun fact: She was early to her own wedding and stood at the church door greeting guests.
Sérgio Martins
CEO & Vision Architect
Visionary, composed, and relentlessly attentive to detail. Sérgio leads with integrity, humour, and understanding — the trio that defines the Mary Me way. Under his guidance, excellence feels effortless, and every celebration becomes a reflection of trust.
His calm presence anchors the team, reminding everyone that leadership is about listening as much as deciding.
Fun fact: Believes every great idea starts with good humour, Bacalhau à Brás, and a Leon Bridges playlist.
Mário Moreira
Digital Director & Search Cartographer
Mário turns technology into touch, refining visuals, systems, and digital experiences that feel as smooth as they look.
Problem-solver by instinct, perfectionist by choice, always one pixel ahead.
Fun fact: Wants “Send Me On My Way” playing at his funeral. Until then, he prefers sangria and fixing problems mid-party.
Dany Gomes
Corporate Manager & Good Vibes Provider
Energy personified. Dany blends professionalism with lightness, making work feel like a celebration. Always ready to help, always in motion, he brings warmth, laughter, and the kind of presence that lifts an entire room.
From managing logistics to fixing what no one else can, his hands-on spirit keeps everything (and everyone) running smoothly.
Fun fact: Once got so involved in a wedding that he ended up being the groom. True story.
