About us
Sara & Bernardo
We are Sara and Bernardo, married to each other and married too to this passion for turning love stories into unforgettable celebrations.
It all began in 2018, when Sara planned her first weddings and realised she had found her true calling. Since then, we've built Once Upon a Bride together: she with a perfectionist eye for every detail, he with a talent for logistics that keeps everything running smoothly on the big day.
We believe good communication is the foundation of everything, and that every couple deserves support as unique as their own story. That's the promise we make: to care for your big day as if it were our own.
