Wedding on island of Lokrum

We had our ceremony on beautiful Lokrum Island, and our reception meal in the Dubrovnik restaurant in the Old Town in May 2011. We wanted to get married abroad, and were looking at Greece at first, but soon decided that we wanted something a bit different - not just the same old package weddings. We came across the 'Do you wed me' site by chance and fell in love with the unique locations featured, and bespoke service that was offered.
We wanted to have a wedding that reflected us and our wedding planner Kike and her team very much believe in creating just that for their clients. We weren’t sure that we would be able to afford it, as it looked so glamourous on the website, but because every element of the wedding is flexible we could swap things in and out very easily to keep the costs down. Whatever we asked for Kike was able to provide, or offer excellent alternatives within our budget.
Kike was absolutely superb thoughout - highly organised, quick to respond to emails and a pleasure to communicate with throughout all the planning in the months leading up to the wedding, and we felt like we were in a very safe pair of hands. She often went beyond the call of duty – and even helped us with our accommodation needs, by putting us in touch with the 'Butterfly Apartments' who provided wonderful apartments in and around Dubrovnik for us and our guests.
The whole 'Do you wed me' team are fantastic – from the flowers to the hair and photography – they are a seamless professional team. In particular Veronika the photographer and the video guys were great – never intrusive – but really made us feel comfortable, and made us laugh all day. I am a photographer myself, and have high standards, and both me and our friends and family are all thrilled with the results of the beautifully shot photographs and video. My husband is a chef, and was very impressed with the quality of food also. Kike ensures that she personally oversees every element of the wedding, and accompanied us throughout the day to ensure smooth running of the wedding.
The 'Do you wed me' clearly pride themselves on a personal service, and by the end of the wedding, you become more than just clients, you become friends too. We would highly recommend 'Do you wed me' to anyone thinking of getting married abroad. All 20 of our guests fell in love with Dubrovnik, and said it was without question the best and most romantic wedding they’d ever been to. It truly was the happiest day of our lives, and that was down to the 'Do you wed me' team.
