Renata Amaral

I was first inspired to become ordained when one of my closest friends asked me to officiate her wedding. Being trusted to stand beside two people on such a meaningful day felt like a beautiful honor, and it opened the door to something I would love to continue doing.

Originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and now living in Connecticut.

I hope to create meaningful, personal ceremonies that truly reflect the people I’m celebrating. As a bilingual English-Portuguese speaker, I especially love the idea of bringing families and cultures together through ceremonies that feel warm, inclusive, and authentic.

I welcome couples of all faiths, spiritual traditions, and backgrounds, as well as those who prefer a non-religious ceremony.

I believe every love story deserves a ceremony that feels personal, meaningful, and true to the couple. My goal is to create moments that feel warm, joyful, and unforgettable.

I offer ceremonies in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, including bilingual and multicultural ceremonies tailored to each couple and their families.
