The Bel Altar Experience

Cultural Fusion Ceremony

This is the real “something blue” for Colombian-American couples marrying in Cartagena.

Since 2018, my mission has been to create bilingual and symbolic wedding ceremonies that focus on love realities, not empty promises.

I personally guide you through a modern, structured process that allows you to relax and truly enjoy this historic celebration with all of your loved ones.

Meet Bel

Your Wedding Celebrant

As a bicultural couple, you deserve a bilingual wedding ceremony that perfectly bridges two cultures with both confidence and clarity.

My expertise is built on trust, demonstrated through my work as a translator for former U.S. President Bill Clinton and my role as the celebrant for a Google Project Manager. I will not just translate your words; I will master your story, ensuring every detail is a perfect reflection of your unique love.
