Luana Torres

Civil Marriage Celebrant & Master of Ceremonies

Getting married is one of the biggest decisions of your life, and a beautiful act of sharing love. It is also a time of stress, heightened emotions and an overwhelming sense of responsibility.

Many couples underestimate the importance of having an experienced marriage celebrant. Someone who not only ‘fits in’ with your plan and story, but someone you can trust to support and guide you from day one towards creating the perfect celebration for you and your guests.

Luana Torres is an award-winning Commonwealth-registered Civil Marriage Celebrant based in Sydney. She was the first Brazilian-Australian to be appointed as a Civil Marriage Celebrant by the Attorney General’s Department and has been creating and performing unique marriage ceremonies for over 15 years. She conducts ceremonies in English, Portuguese and Spanish, and is highly sought after as a bilingual celebrant.

Every couple’s story is different and your marriage ceremony should definitely reflect that, no matter how big or small. Luana brings a modern approach to her ceremonies to ensure that the celebration reflects the couple and their individual personalities. She will guide you through every step of the process and ensure your experience is enjoyable and as stress-free as possible.

Luana is passionate about her role as a celebrant and detail-focused. As an experienced celebrant and lawyer, she will take care of all the paperwork, simplify all of the legal bits for you, and create and deliver a beautiful ceremony that you and your guests will love and remember for years to come.

Alessandra Mead

Our day couldn’t have gone more perfectly! Having Luana as our celebrant was the best choice we made for our wedding. Meeting her before hand put us at ease and she made every part so stress free for us. Being able to have our ceremony in Portuguese as well as English for my Husband’s family was priceless. Luana was such a lovely addition to our day, such a beautiful person and I felt she really went above and beyond to create a beautiful ceremony and day for us. Our 7 month old boy also adored her! I’m a firm believer babies are the best judge of character.

Sinead Alvim

We could not have asked for a better celebrant!

My family came from Brazil and they could only speak Portuguese and we wanted the ceremony to be in both English and Portuguese and Luana delivered a seamless and beautiful ceremony for us. We can’t recommend her highly enough, thank you so much Luana for making our day even more special.

Kelly Ramos Bunnell

Luana celebrated our wedding in March and made it very special! We had a small intimate weeding and Luana just brought light, laughter and love to us and our family and friends! We loved each moment of our ceremony making it very special to us!

Juliana Egydio

I highly recommend Luana. She is a well prepared and attentive celebrant. As preparation for our wedding we had an interview and she had suggested few possibilities to us, providing many service options. Luana’s mum and dad had also handcrafted a marriage certificate and on the day helped us with playing music during the ceremony.

We have worked together to share our love story and the result could not be better. On our wedding day everything was perfect.

Thanks Luana and family for giving us and all our guests the best speech at this unique and memorable experience. You guys are close to our heart.

Carla Ferreira

We made a friend! Best celebrant ever.

Luana went above and beyond for us. Not only did she translate our entire ceremony english/portuguese, she then, as a favour to me, translated my dad’s entire speech to all our guests simultaneously.

Thanks gorgeous! If we had to do it all again, you’d be my go-to gal.

Bruna Ferreira-Daw

I was so lucky to have Luana as my wedding celebrant! She made me and my husband feel very relaxed and comfortable! She has such a great energy and a beautiful soul. She definitely helped to create an unforgettable day! I highly recommend her services!

Luana Torres does not only celebrate a union, she makes it a special moment! If someone wants to have a great wedding – the best moment of all – I do recommend Luana. She celebrated my renewal of vows and it was beautiful!

Margaret Braga

Luana made such a difference in my wedding. She is an amazing celebrant, I really recommend her.

Drica Lima

Having someone so well spoken in English and Portuguese was absolutely fantastic for us with guests from Brazil at our most special day. Luana was flexible and adapted so lovingly to our uniquely organized day. She was so REAL and we definitely felt her true happiness for us in the preparation leading up to the big day and on the day. I recommend her for all special days & am a massive fan!

Milane Silva

Luana was one of the best decisions of our wedding!

We met her and explained what we would like for our ceremony and she produced that majestically!

She spoke beautifully in English and Portuguese to involve all of our family and guests and transmitted all of the confidence which I needed when I was very emotional.

Thank you Luana for your special part in our most important day!

Mailane Matos

Luana was an amazing celebrant, so helpful and cheerful! We were so happy to have her as a part of our day! She made everything so easy and we are so grateful. Thanks beautiful Luana!

Livia Ebers

Luana assisted me in all legal proceedings for my marriage, and she worked with me on my ceremony, making it looking like us. My wedding was exciting and unforgettable. I strongly recommend her!

Nay Santos Costa

I have no words to describe Luana! She is just an amazing celebrant and a really special person! We loved to have her celebrating our big day and sharing this moment with us! It couldn’t have been more beautiful and touching. Thanks for all your attention, patience and love! I totally recommend her!

Luisa Camargo

Luana hosted our wedding in December 2018. We were very happy that she could fly to Victoria to do our ceremony in English and Portuguese. She was very accommodating of our wishes to have a “gemstone ceremony” and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. She put a lot of work and thoughts into her words to ensure we had a memorable day which we certainly did. We couldn’t recommend Luana more.

Patricia Martins

Luana was absolutely brilliant. From meeting her to the ceremony she kept everyone at ease. Very professional and just an all round good person. Our wedding was half in Portuguese and half in English, which was great considering my wife’s family came all the way over from Brazil and this reminded them of weddings back home.

Would highly recommend Luana to anyone.

 

Chris Cameron

Luana Torres is a fantastic human being and a great celebrant! Very professional and makes sure everything is clear from all sides. She speaks beautifully in Portuguese and English which makes guests and families feeling special. Thank you so much for being part of our “forever” to remember day!

Elaine Alencar

Luana was our celebrant and MC, she did the ceremony in English and Portuguese, also translated all the speeches during the reception so my family could understand and feel involved. On the top of that, she was very helpful with the run sheet for our wedding organisation and suppliers. Thank you, Luana, for supporting our special day!

Natalia Peres

Thank you so much for being the celebrant on our big day! We thought and everyone else agreed that Luana was amazing on the day! Very professional and exactly what we were after! She took all of the anxious and nervous energy and made it all so easy.

Tami & James

Luana is a very passionate person in every single aspect of her life. She speaks with her heart and that’s why the ceremony (renewal of vows) was relaxed and peaceful. The process of choosing the celebrant is very important as it can completely change the vibe of the wedding. I couldn’t ask for a better person to celebrate this memorable time of my life. I’ll be forever grateful.

Larissa Mendes

Luana was our celebrant and also MC.

My parents were the only people who didn’t speak English and it was very important for me that they understand everything, but at the same time I didn’t want to make it bilingual and tiring. She was wonderful! Some guests came to compliment her, sensitive and humorous, having both languages ​​made the moment more special, a good junction of cultures.

Glicia

Perfect is not even the best word to start describing what our wedding weekend meant to us. It was the best of our lives.

Luana was the celebrant for our wedding in Wollombi (Hunter Valley) and, simply, I couldn’t recommend her enough. The whole process with Luana was seamless, friendly, and on the day, absolutely perfect and caring. We are very grateful to have had you as part of our new beginning.

Juliana Salgado

Luana Torres celebrated our wedding ceremony in February 2019. I have fond memories of that day and I’m so happy with our decision to hire Luana as our celebrant! She was so professional in every step of the way. She kept myself and my husband well informed of the whole process – before, during and after the wedding. Luana let us review the script of the ceremony and provide input too, so our special day had our own special touch. You can be sure to have a smooth and classy celebration with Luana. And with the bonus that Luana is bilingual in English and Portuguese, she delivered our wedding ceremony in Portuguese too, which made the world of difference to my family who travelled from Brazil and do not speak English.

Camila & Angus Lumsden

We have no words to express our happiness and satisfaction about Luana. She made our special moment more than special. Thanks Luana so much for your professionalism, your words and the magical ceremony you created. Cheers.
