Hi Ines,

WELL, we had the most amazing day possible - all thanks to you and your team!!

We really wouldn't have changed a single thing.

We'd give anything to rewind the clock and do it all over again. I can't thank ye enough for everything, it couldn't have been any more perfect! All our guests had a ball and were very impressed with the whole day.
Many many many thanks to you, Marin & the rest of the Dubrovnik Event team!!

Hi Ines,

I want to write you a thank you note that to encompass how magical you made our wedding day but I don't think I can put it into words.

The way you answered every query so efficiently, dealt with the fact that the groom had no idea what was going on other than the fact that he was getting married (although he had made some choices lol), how beautiful the ceremony location was made. Two days before the wedding the rain came down like I could not believe but I didn't worry in the slightest I knew that you would have alternatives arranged. I thought I would have been disappointed when we ended up having our reception inside but it was just perfect. Pat loved the balconies!! What a beautiful view.

Our fiends keep telling us what a wonderful day it was and it really was.

So Thank You so much!!!!!! I hope your enjoying a well deserved break.

Love

Hi Ines!

Now that we are home in Ireland and have settled back into life as man and wife ;-) , we just wanted to say a huge thank you to the Dubrovnik Event team.

Throughout all the planning for our dream wedding, neither of us felt stressed or worried at any point and that was all down to you.

It was lovely to finally meet you at the pre-wedding meeting and talk through how the day would flow. Yourself and Marin were so relaxed and easy to talk to!

So many of our friends and family have commented on how it was the most impressive wedding they have ever attended!

We were so happy that you understood how we wanted a very relaxed, party style wedding rather than a traditional wedding.

The whole day ran perfectly? from the brilliant hairdresser, to the fabulous ceremony on the Karaka to the fun reception on the beautiful Palm Terrace.

My flowers were exactly what I had requested, as was the reception decor. Every detail just made the day extra special.
Five years ago when I first saw the stunning Karaka while on holiday in Dubrovnik, I had laughed with Sean that one day we would get married upon it and thanks to you that?s exactly what we were able to do.

We cannot wait to return to Dubrovnik in the future and fondly remember the most magical day that we have spent together.

We wish you all the best for the future and have no doubt that you will make many more couples as happy as us.

Lots of love,

Ines,

Graham and I cannot thank you enough for making yesterday the most special day of our lives, it was way more than we both wished for it was simply amazing!

Everything was perfect and all my guests had the best time ever! From the hair dresser, makeup artist, the photographer, the priest and the wonderful baby babysitter, the hotel staff all contributed to making my day magical, such lovely people and I will never ever forget their kindness!

But most of all I owe my gratitude to you and Marin for all your hard work that you put into yesterday to ensure Graham and I had the best day ever- you both do an amazing job and are two of the nicest people I have ever met, I will never be able to thank either of you enough for yesterday, it was just out of this world it was like a fairy tale and it was all down to both your hard work, words will never express how grateful Graham and I are so, again thank you so much xxxxx

Dear Ines and Marin,

Hope you are well!

Now, when almost one month has passed and autumn came to Moscow, we think about our wedding day with the warmest feelings and great delight :)

There is no doubt that our pleasant memories are very much due to your professional assistance! The quality of organization was very high despite our short planning terms.

Each and every extra service that you offered was very proper and favorable: guest table on the terrace, seating plan, placing cards, lightening, sound system and the Dj - everything was perfect and we didn't regret at all that accepted your offers :)

And the ceremony was even better then we could only dream! And it was definitely better then what we had seen in movies :) Despite some hitches like cellphone call in Tolya's pocket and missing rings (we will definitely always have something to remember about our wedding)), the ceremony was so touching and heart-piercing that even our men-guests couldn't keep back tears.

You can't even imagine how warm and pleasant our guests' feedback was after the trip to Dubrovnik! Some guests even confessed that it was the best day of their lives! Others got a dream to have their wedding near the sea and we definitely have an agency to recommend them ;) And everyone was so excited because it was so different from how it usually happens in Russia :) We are very glad that with your help we've managed to overcome the wedding stereotypes! :)

Thank you very much again and thanks to all the people that assisted us (sorry if we don't spell the names correctly): thanks to Luko and his understanding of our mood (looking forward to having our photos!), thanks to Dube and her girls for making Tanya and our guests so beautiful, thanks to the manicure master, great thanks to florists and decorators - they made their job even better that we wished; thanks to the Villa Argentina staff and the restaurant's Chef for listening to us and making their best to meet our wishes :)

We are very happy that we've chosen you as our wedding agency and you can easily give our contacts to your future clients if needed (especially from Russia:)).

We wish you success, prosperity and many-many loving couples! ;)

Best regards,

Dear Ines and Marin,

Wow!! What an amazing week in Dubrovnik we have had, topped off by our fantastic wedding day on Saturday with our closest family and most special friends.

You guys created the most precious day of our lives, one that will be in our hearts forever. Everything was perfect and we wouldn?t have changed one single thing. This is all down to your hard work over the last year, meticulously planning our day for us.

Ines, I have absolutely loved planning with you, I have looked forward to your emails every day over the past 12 months and I really feel that you knew exactly the style and quality that I was describing and looking for. You certainly are exceptional at the job you do. All the aspects of the day were at such a high standard and from our pre-wedding meeting on Thursday, my nerves were settled as soon as I saw you.

Thank you so much for arranging early check in for me at The Excelsior, the room was amazing and it was great to have hair, nails and make-up done there. The team were brilliant and we all loved how they styled our looks! Please pass on my thanks to the ladies! When the flowers arrived I couldn?t believe how beautiful they were, and exactly what I had described!
The photography team were very professional and we hardly even noticed they were there all day. Thanks to them all and Veronica for batting off the Italians in the Old Town!! We can?t wait to see the pictures and the video, things we will treasure forever!

The ceremony was an emotional whirlwind and Villa Banac looked gorgeous, again special attention to detail by yourselves with the lanterns, petals and flowers, the scene was just as I had imagined it would be.
On to the boat trip, our guests loved the surprise and it was so nice to begin the celebrations in the breeze listening to some of our favourite songs. The Vedrana is stunning!

When we arrived back at The Excelsior you were there once again settling our nerves and congratulating us, ready for the next part of our wedding on Palm Terrace. I couldn?t believe how classy the whole venue looked, the tables were PERFECT, the guest book table was STUNNING, the art canvas was a great project for our guests and they loved it! The photos were displayed just as I imagined and this was also really popular with our friends and family. Once again, all down to you and your team at Dubrovnik Event. Thank you for creating such a beautiful place for us to have our reception meal. We were totally blown away!

The DJ was great, timing everything just as we asked! Thanks to him for playing the numerous requests for songs from our friends too!

You have been so organised and willing to go one step further to help us with our wedding as well as our trip to Dubrovnik. We have arrived home and can?t quite believe its over, very emotional, both happy and sad feelings.

So for now, thank you for everything and we hope to be in touch and see you again soon back in Dubrovnik where the strings pull on our hearts.

Lots of love from

Hi Ines & Marin,

We have just arrived back in Sydney after our mega trip and today is our first day back in the office. Needless to say we have had better days but at least we have the memories of the last 3 months and our beautiful wedding to keep us going.

Once again we wanted to say thank you for everything! You are both such lovely people and made us feel very comfortable and relaxed. It is a big leap of faith booking venues when you cannot visit but we could not have made a better decision than to put our trust in you. We had a wonderful day and we will treasure the memories forever. All of our family and friends had an amazing time and we have heard on several occasions that it was 'The Best Wedding Ever!!!' haha

We are so looking forward to seeing the photos from Veronica (she was FAB btw) so we can relive the day all over again!

We are already thinking about our next trip to Croatia so we will have to grab a beer next time we are over. Ciao for now!

LAURA AND PETE
Hiya Ines,

I?m not entirely sure on where to start! Personally i think Pete summed it up completely when he said in he's speech our thanks not only to you but to Marin and all involved with Dubrovnik Events. He said that I?ve found in you a best friend and he couldn?t have put it in a better way at all. What more can you ask from the person your put your complete trust into? You have been perfect and we cant speak highly enough of you.

Back in September 2009 once we decided to marry in Croatia I got on the hunt and emailed a few different companies and none of them responded with the warmth, professionalism and general interest as you did! I remember at first thinking this lady is going to hate all my long winded emails which led from one question to the next but guaranteed you would always answer everything and make me feel at ease and confident that everything was under control.

We were both glad you were there for the ceremony and Pete was quick to tell me how great you were at assuring him that the rain drops were a good sign :-) To have you there to congratulate us along with our closest friends and family was fitting and I won?t forget it was you that gave us our first congratulation hug once the confetti was thrown as Mr and Mrs Dewes. I could literally continue to go on and on Ines.

Without you we wouldn?t have had our perfect day, you made it happen and we will be eternally grateful for that. I dont think any words can fully show our full gratitude.

From the very bottom of both our hearts THANK YOU again and again and again.

Lots of Love,

We love you and you better come visit us WHEN you come to New Orleans!! Again, thank you so much!!! Hope to see you soon! Xoxo

The whole wedding planning and everything has really been special for us and you always will stay in our heart.

It was everything perfect organized and the people from Villa Ruza were as well really friendly, the service and the menu perfect.

You attended all our requests in such a fast and professional way...incredible. It was great working with you.
I just can say on more time it was perfect and you are very special.

I wish you a lot of happy weddings.

Dear Ines

We received our photographs yesterday and we are so happy with them. It brought back so many memories for us. We have so much gratitude for the work and effort you and your team put into making our Wedding weekend a memorable and magical time.

From the moment we met you back in February 2011 we knew you were the planner for us, you were organised, professional, friendly and most importantly fun!!

Through the course of the year planning the wedding with you was a complete pleasure. You always responded to my silly emails quickly and always endeavoured to deliver to us the requests we had.
Your help and calmness during the ?paperwork? saga will always be remembered.

We had high expectations of the weekend, but can honestly say you smashed those and made it 100 times better than we could ever have dreamed of.


Like your gift to us said ?Life is not measured in minutes but moments that take our breath away ..... for eternity? ? you, your team, the photographer, the venues, the church, the food, the cocktails and Dubrovnik have taken our breath away for eternity.
All the best in work and life, we hope to see you again for cocktails when we visit Dubrovnik for our anniversary next year.

All our love

BOYANA AND SHAUN
Once again, we have to THANK YOU for all your support and amount of work you have put in, in what was meant to be just a small family affair. Our wedding was absolutely amazing and all our guests were so impressed and touched with all the details you arranged, without us having to even think of them. We would have never done it without you!

Your patience throughout the months of emailing and preparation, changing our minds completely from an island wedding back to Dubrovnik itself, and your knowledgeable advise made our 'planning' so easy! All your recommendations were so spot on. From choosing the most perfect location in Dubrovnik Palace, to setting up of a chuppa in the Beach Club, help with our ceremony text, flower arrangements, reception set up and the night club... everything was so perfectly organized and the evening went smoothly, we actually really relaxed and enjoyed it and didn't have to worry about anything :)

Also, thank you for helping us with organizing activities throughout our stay in Dubrovnik and booking dinners and recommending places for us to go and do as a group. Every place you recommended gave us a very special treatment, and we felt in the end that we had a 'wedding week' rather then a wedding day. It was truly unforgettable!

Ines, I have to thank you especially for all your time and emails and research, prior to the wedding. Everyone in Cape Town thought I was MAD to be organizing a wedding in Croatia, but you made me feel so at ease and I fully trusted all your advise and recommendations. In the end we had a wedding so beautiful, Cape Town has never seen before! :-)

Surely, we are forgetting to mention so many details. You and Marin and your team were just so amazing to us! Highly professional and efficient and no request was too small for you to arrange. We are so grateful for everything you have done to make our wedding day truly memorable and we wish you every success in the future!

Hi Ines,

We hope you are well?

Four weeks on and we are still talking about our most amazing wedding day. Our friends and family loved it; and as for us, we are still smiling remembering the different parts of our magical day.

On the day we were so overwhelmed that we may not have thanked everyone that needed to be thanked, so if you can pass on the following:

? Myself and the bridesmaids were so happy with our hair and make up - even in the heat it managed to last the day and well into the night! My flowergirl Maia also loved her curls so do thank them sincerely for everything.

? The church music was amazing. I know our guests enjoyed it, as did we throughout the ceremony, and all our plans to say thank you as we walked out of the church went out the window in the moment. Their versions of all songs were just as we wanted so please pass on our high praise to them.

? To Fr Petar. For his relaxed and friendly attitude, for his lovely sermon and for guiding us and our guests through the mass with ease.

? We are amazed by the wedding photographs. The lighting, the landscape of the old town - fabulous. We have a tough time choosing one for our thank you card, and our album - too many to choose from! A huge thanks to our photographer.

? To the Hotel Neptun - For the amazing food, for their constant attention with both wine and water and their can do attitude in all instances. To the bar staff who indulged us til the wee hours of the morning, including pouring shots into shoes on the bar at our guests requests!

? To Teatro - it was a huge surprise for us that they played all they way through the reception, which was great to have the music and for the kids to be able to dance when they felt like it. Their set got everyone dancing and their enthusiasm and interaction with our guests made it very personal for us. A big highlight for all

And finally to all of you at Dubrovnik events. Thank you or making the day so seamless, for herding our guests to where they needed to go, for piecing each part of the day together, always in the background making sure everything went okay.

We had the best day of our lives and we are very aware of the big part you have played in making it that way and we will be forever grateful.

Myself and Bren shall be eternal advocates for you guys and having a wedding in Dubrovnik so are happy for you to pass our details to future couples should they have any questions about venues, bands, music...anything!
Thanks again, a card will be on the way once we have them!

Hi there,

Dave & I would like to thank you both for a truly amazing day, we had a wonderful time and all of our guests were blown away! We felt like we were on a film set! Please also thank Veronica for making us all feel relaxed and being a true professional.

Sponza was beautiful and to hear 'Pink Floyd' as I walked down the isle was an experience I will never forget! (Shame we didn't get to light the unity candles, but never mind!)

We had kept the boat trip as a surprise, and most of our guests agreed that this was a highlight of the day! (Other than watching us get married!)

The Argentina was perfect in every way, the food fantastic, the staff were very professional , the setting was like a dream and the honeymoon suite fabulous!

Thank you once again for making our dream come true, you were great!

Kindest regards and best wishes,

From our first correspondence with Ines in December 2009, when we were considering a Dubrovnik wedding, we knew she was the wedding planner for us, confirmed when we flew to Dubrovnik in January to check it out and meet some planners.

Her level of efficiency and organisation skills are phenomenal. Every question (and god there where many) was answered with patience and understanding and answered very promptly. She listened to everything we wanted and gave fantastic recommendations and solutions. I was really unsure about doing a boat trip but Ines strongly suggested that we did and as it turns out , it was the highlight for a lot of our guests. The band were also a fantastic recommendation.

I guess we realised how fortunate we were when we rocked up in Dubrovnik 3 days before the wedding and had that time to spend with family and friends and not running around attending to last minute details. The day itself was the most amazing day of our lives and managed so brilliantly we didn't have to worry about a thing.
Ivona and Martina were wonderful to work with on the day, both calm, efficient and in control.

Dube, Jasna and sorry I forget the make up girl's name did an amazing job on the morning of the wedding.
Veronica is probably the most amazing photographer ever to walk the earth, our photos are so amazing and the album she put together for us is sublime.

The videography team were great to work with, a few tears are shed whenever we watch it.
The palm terrace, food, wine, flowers, music were all wonderful and faultless.

All we can say is , if you are thinking of possibly getting married in Dubrovnik and employing Ines as your wedding planner, then go for it!! You won't regret it.

Just wanted to drop you a few lines to let you both yourself and Marin know how much both myself and Cianan really appreciate all of your efforts to make our special week truly a memorable one. For your unending assistance to re-scheduling venues, being a weather forecast person, arranging emergency dentists (which I suspect was due to a drunken Thursday night!), to helping me get our wedding room so early which I was really anxious about. For Marin dealing with my bridezilla moment in Poklisar and Cianan turning in to Groomzilla (I did laugh at that) on the wedding evening and also for Marin introducing me to my first whiskey shot!!

The planning experience was one that I can really look back on now and say that I enjoyed every minute of it. When I had moments of uncertainly or nervousness, you were always at the end of the phone or email to clam, reassure and relax me. There is just too much to mention but they are just some of the things that come to mind... my thanks a list could be endless

Dear Ines & Marin

Greetings from Ireland! We have returned home to the not so sunny Emerald Isle.
We would both like to thank you and your team for making our day so special. All of our expectations were certainly exceeded. Thank you for all of your help and support over the last year. You made it all so easy! Nobody else could have made our day so perfect. You are worth your weight in gold. All of our guests have been complimenting our wedding and they equally enjoyed the BBQ at Lokrum the following day.
The Neptun is a fabulous hotel in a stunning location.

Wishing you all the best

My husband and I were really pleased that we chose Dubrovnik Event to organise our special day for us. We couldn?t have asked for a nicer team of people. Ines was fantastic and was always quick to respond to our emails and answer all our questions no matter how big or small. Everything was discussed and then agreed, from our flowers to whether I?d like my make-up and hair done on the day. We had every confidence in Ines and we weren?t disappointed with anything she organised for us; she really is a star.

At our pre-wedding meeting we talked through what would happen on the day, viewed the venues and discussed weather contingency plans. This made us feel at ease, as we knew before the day that everything would still be perfect, even if it rained.

On the day Ines and Marin ensured the event ran smoothly, despite the rain, and every aspect was professionally handled. All our guests said how well the wedding was organised and how they loved the fact they could enjoy the day and be guided around the city.

Dubrovnik is a truly magical place and we couldn?t have asked for a nicer setting for our wedding. Everyone enjoyed themselves so much that people are already booking their next trip to the city.

The wedding exceeded all my expectations. It was truly amazing. From Dubrovnik?s timeless beauty, to our beach venue, flowers, the ?Love boat? and so much more? We couldn?t have done it without Ines and Marin, who are not only wonderful wedding planners, but also wonderful people who have become great friends!

An experience I shall never forget! The sunset when arriving in Dubrovnik; the view in the bay of Sipan; the romance on the "wedding-beach"; the arrival of the bride by boat...... a complete dream come true!
Liesbeth Vellinga-Wielenga, THE NETHERLANDS

"Of the many weddings I've been to (alot!), this was undoubtedly the most amazing of them all. The setting was almost surreally beautiful and it felt like we had the island to ourselves. The organization was flawless, and all of us just floated from one magical moment to the next as if in a bubble for 4 days. Everything, from the boat to reach the island to the subtle but funky hippy chic decor, added a magical touch. We all cried because it was so moving."
