Wedding Feedback

Why Dubrovnik?
Beautiful city, beautiful country, just the perfect match among romance, culture, atmosphere...
What were your feelings the morning of the wedding?
Easy going: I knew everything was perfectly organized, so I was looking forward to experience "Just a perfect day" . Relaxed day with my friends, enjoyed the hairdresser (she was a miracle for me) and make up artist, two nice young ladies who behaved like my old friends, we all had a feeling like on the "girl party".
Did you have a wedding theme / colour theme?
Did I? :-) Colour combination was yellow and white.
Was planning a wedding abroad more complicated than planning a wedding at home?
Absolutely not, thanks to Nina:-)
What was the feedback you received on your wedding?
Excellent, people enjoy something different, not comparable atmosphere with local (Slovak) wedding. Everybody was smiling, enjoying nice garden, sea, and whole atmosphere around. It was the best choice we could do, no stress no worries only smiling people.
Did you go over your planned budget?
A little bit: once you are there, once you plan it like this, you want everything to be so beautiful that you do not mind so much. Everything was balanced and therefore we do not regret 1 EUR spent there.
Do you think you would have spent more or less if you were to organise a wedding at home?
For sure less, but for sure with a different atmosphere. Not telling it would not be nice, but Dubrovnik was very special and it will always be remembered as a very very special day.

Comments about the wedding planning

My friends often ask me, how did you organize this? Why Dubrovnik? Why this garden? The beginning of our story was, that Jacco and I decided to have a wedding close to sea in a beautiful place ... we both came with the idea of Dubrovnik. So my friend "Google" helped me to find right match.. "wedding in Dubrovnik": I contacted Nina due to her professional website, excellent references, nice pictures and some stomach feeling -"it will work"!
I was right, professional approach from very beginning and feeling you do not need to worry because Nina would organize everything. I am quite difficult person to reply on emails, to decide, but Nina managed me perfectly: I am telling from my heart...no worries at all, during the whole preparation phase until the end.
Nina is very nice person, honest, trustable from very beginning. She never looks stressed and she drives the car like Schumacher:-)
