Dubrovnik Event

I originally chose you as our wedding planner as you gave so much information, advice and honesty from the very first emails (before I had even confirmed!). You also replied so quickly all the time. I really felt that I was in good hands and could trust you. I really liked how you gave pros and cons and gave your honest opinion about what would and wouldn’t work well.

I knew we were taking a risk with the time of year and the weather around that time and I worried about it before but as soon as I would speak to you or get an email I would always be reassured. I really wish I hadn’t worried as you did a fantastic job with what was available and it was amazing. I am so happy that it was in the restaurant as I thought the room was really beautiful (it looks lovely in the black and white photos I think). In spite of the fact that the ceremony and reception were in new places to the original plan the feel of the wedding we wanted was the same. I find it incredible that you and Marin really understood what we wanted and I felt that the day was really ‘us’. It was also wonderful to get so many positive comments from our guests who all had a great time – I think it was interesting for the Croatians as there was not a lot of dancing and the wedding would have been different to what they are used too (different w speeches too). I have to say that the people you have chosen to work with were truly great too and take a lot of pride in what they do (as they should!). Dube was fantastic – was really happy with the hair style and thought she was so much fun too. A family member who has a house in Trsteno wants her number so that’s a good sign! The make-up was what I wanted too on the day – not too much 🙂 Jasna was such a professional and gave great advice. The flowers were really pretty and got lots of positive comments – Question: Could I get a list of the names of the flowers (Croatian is ok too) used in the bouquet and displays? This would be nice to know what to ask for in any future event. Nora was really nice. We got a few of the photos and we’re really impressed – can’t wait to see more!! Going around a wet/slippery old town with her while Richard bought an umbrella will be a fun memory! The little boy (Sam) was also calling the babysitter ‘grandma’ very soon so another fabulous choice 🙂 Your recommendation for Posat was one of the highlights of our entire holiday too – everyone loved it and that memory will also stay with us for a long long time. Richard really liked Marin’s wine choice later on in the night too. You guys are a really great team and I felt that the day could not have been improved on at all. It was all planned so well and all the details were thought of. I loved the set up of the floral displays, tables and the jars of honey too! We are truly happy and very grateful for a wonderful day – we will enjoy remembering it all and looking back fondly. What else can I say but a massive thank you!! Will miss the emailing but will still see all the wonderful weddings you plan next season on facebook.”

18 months of emails passed and throughout, yourself and Marin kept us calm, excited and safe in the knowledge that our wedding was in good hands. You understood every request, handled every crazy email from me and knew exactly what we wanted even more than we did ourselves. Dubrovnik Event is a team of amazing, sparkling and loving individuals who care about the people they work with and the weddings they do. From Jasna on nails, Dube on hair, Vero behind the camera and Eva behind the scenes we knew we had a great team to help us.

The run upto the wedding was crazy, nearly 100 of our friends and family descended on Dubrovnik and alot of them said to us ‘you both seem very calm!?’. I really believe that was down to you Ines and Marin. We knew you guys had it sorted, we knew anything that could happen would be taken care of and we knew we didnt need to worry.

On the day we had so much fun. From the bond style boat ride, to the beautiful flowers and decor the venues both on Lokrum and Grand Villa Argentina were spectacular. When our guests spoke to us they said ‘now we know why you chose Dubrovnik!’. The team at GVA were so professional and made sure everyone was attended to and our guests had a truly amazing day.

Throughout the whole process, its been a privilege to have you both planning our wedding and we are so lucky we found you. Driving away from Dubrovnik after the wedding was gut wrenching because Dubrovnik and Croatia will forever play an important role in our lives. That being said we know we will be back to visit its beauty and our lovely friends Ines and Marin (we cant keep Rudy and Marin from each other for too long, their bromance blossomed!).

So what this email is, is a massive THANK YOU to you Ines and Marin and everyone at Dubrovnik Event. Our day was amazing and I know you do it time and time again year in year out because you truly love what you do and it shows in every email, detail and wedding.

We are proud to have our Croatian friends and the door in Dubai is always open to you.”

We have only been to Dubrovnik 3 times but for us, it now feels like home. Having our wedding day in Dubrovnik was such a huge privilege and something that would not have happened if we did not have you two working on our side. The whole day was seemless and for us, stress free! We probably can’t say the same for you guys as we are 100% certain that you took that stress from us and hid it!

Our wedding day was more enjoyable and memorable than we ever could have imagined and we feel so privileged to have experienced such a perfect day. That is 100% down to you guys at Dubrovnik Event. You are amazing at what you do. You seem to just make things happen. You are like the fairy Godmother in Cinderella, waving your wand and making it happen..even clearing away thunderstorms for us ?

When you opened the doors of the church & I saw how you had put those beautiful chiffon pieces at the pew ends I was in awe Ines! Connor said to see the doors open and my silhouette appear in the doorway was so dramatic, it nearly made him cry! Me..I was just beaming from ear to ear! It was more than I ever imagined!

The Karaka, what can we say! What a treat! Your idea of the pizza slices was great and they disappeared in minutes! And Villa Ruza, we are even more in love with that place now! Your lanterns and candles and fairy lights..it was just so romantic!

We were always going to love our wedding day but the best testimony probably comes from the guests themselves. We have been told by our guests that they felt pampered all day. We have had people say that it was the best wedding they have ever been to inducing their own! They have said that nothing was forgotten about. They said you could see Marin working behind the scenes and not letting any glasses empty at the drinks reception. They said they felt like rock stars…and so did we.

We are sure that it is your “can-do” attitudes and your attentiveness that made us so relaxed through the whole planning process and on the day itself. Veronica was amazing and skilled at making reluctant posers relax!! We will be sending her an official thank you card when we get them printed too. Everyone is still taking about her & we all can’t wait to see her photos!

You guys will be close to our hearts forever for creating a wedding day above and beyond what we ever could have envisaged. We don’t have the words to express our gratitude clearly but it says something that we can close our eyes and be transported back to ANY moment of the day and smile..you created for us true bliss.

We said earlier that Dubrovnik feels like home to us now. You never know, some day we might call it home, if even for a little while.

Thanking you both from the bottom of our hearts”
