...with no ties to Croatia except that my now-husband and I had visited the country once and absolutely loved it, the idea of having a wedding so far from home was a little scary however, as soon as I began working with Kristina, I knew that everything would work out. I reached out to multiple planners in Dubrovnik, and Kike was the only one to respond immediately and gave me so much great information that I knew I wanted her to be my organizer. When you're planning something as big as a wedding, and especially from so far away, you need someone who is on top of communications and will get back to you right away, which is exactly what Kike did.

Kike Does Everything

Not only did Kike plan my wedding, but she also helped with the rehearsal dinner and planned a party for our guests the day after the wedding as well. She was my point person to all vendors (catering, hotel, music, photography, videography, lighting, decorations, hair/make-up, etc.), which meant I only had to work with one person instead of trying to coordinate with multiple people, which I believe is key to a successful destination wedding.

Kike Goes Above and Beyond

We had a Catholic ceremony in the Dubrovnik Cathedral, and Kike worked with the Diocese in Dubrovnik to ensure all of our paperwork and program was in order. She went with us to meet with the priest a couple days before the wedding and helped us navigate the Catholic ceremony process in a foreign country, which was extremely helpful.

Originally on the wedding day, I was going to be dropped off at Ploce Gate with my bridal party, and we were going to walk to the church from there. However, a couple days before the wedding, I changed my mind and decided that I would like to be dropped off in front of the church. Usually you need to tell the city weeks in advance since no cars are allowed in the Old Town, but Kike was able to get special permission from the city last minute to make this possible.

Furthermore, we were in charge of providing all our own drinks for the reception. While this was a great deal, we were apprehensive about having to purchase and deliver enough water, juice, sodas, wine, and alcohol for 65 people for a 6-hour reception. However, Kike made this process almost too easy for us! She brought us to a wholesaler who helped us pick out the drinks and quantities, delivered the drinks for us, and took back anything unopened.

Dubrovnik Knows Kike

When you decide to get married in a foreign country, you need someone who knows the location well. Kike knows the Dubrovnik, and Dubrovnik knows Kike. We arrived in Dubrovnik the week before the wedding, and everywhere we went, from the restaurants down to the nail salon and spa, everyone knew Kike and raved about how great she was. Having a network like that is so important. I never felt like we were getting ripped off or taken advantage of because everyone is working for Kike, and everyone loves Kike. We also made a lot of last minute decisions days before the wedding like deciding that wanted special lighting and heat lamps at the reception. Kike was able to make this all happen for us last minute, and I believe that has a lot to do with her strong network in Dubrovnik.

Fairytale Wedding

Our wedding in Dubrovnik was truly a dream come true. On the wedding day, I was able to relax and actually enjoy it because I knew everything was being taken care of. We had 65 people travel so far and spend a lot of money getting there, so it was so important to us that they have a good experience. Mission accomplished. As I write this, six weeks have passed since the wedding, and my guests are still talking about the wedding and how much fun they had. From the ceremony in the Dubrovnik Cathedral, to the cocktail cruise in the harbor, to the reception at the Museum of Modern Art, to our second day celebration at Rural Estate Čilipi, it was a magical experience that was genuinely the best weekend of our lives.

Dear Kristina and her wonderful team,

We've been back home for almost two weeks now and we still can't stop talking about the wedding and how well it all went. Our friends and family were amazed at the venues, the food, the music, the decoration, and the atmosphere. They also raved about the way the day was organised - so much so that one friend wishes they could hire you to plan their wedding in Portugal next year! Shame it's not possible. You and your team did everything we asked of you and much more.

Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into our day. Please thank your team on behalf of us, especially Nikolina for marrying us and Veronica for putting so much fun into the photo sessions.
We wish you every success in the future and hope to see you in London soon.

Best wishes,

Hi Kike,
We feel the same. We had such a magical time and we loved Dubrovnik, its people and everybody who helped us with our wedding. You and your team did an outstanding job. Every time we think of it we have a huge smile on our face and would love to go back in time. The feedback we got was incredible!

You are amazing. Let us know if we can ever be a reference for you and we look forward to seeing you in Dubrovnik soon.
