To echo Andrew’s words
– thank you both so much for the effort you put in to making this a reality for us. The wedding was everything we had dreamed of and exceeded all of our expectations. Every last detail was perfect and my only wish was that I could have spent even longer savouring every aspect of it! I particularly wanted to mention also, the floral arrangements were stunning and Barbara and Dube did a wonderful job with our hair and makeup. We are very much looking forward to our photographs to relive the day again!

Matea / Ines,
Thank you both so much for the kind emails, and for your hard work for our wedding! You were both amazing!
Thanks again for everything! You were both spectacular.
With kind regards,
Andrew & Marguerite

Dear Matea,
I really dont know where to begin only to say thank you so much, from the bottom of our hearts, for everything you have done for us. The whole experience was PERFECT. We enjoyed every moment of the day and our guests are still talking about it. It was truly so special and we are so happy with the whole experience from the very beginning to the very end!
We arrived back in Ireland yesterday, and we will carry the memories of our wedding and holiday with us for the rest of our lives. I still cant believe it was so perfect! Everything ran so smoothly and we were really able to enjoy every moment because of all the hard work that you guys did behind the scenes. So again, thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts.
I’m so excited to see the rest of the photographs! We are still on a high from how great everything was. It would be our absolute pleasure to leave a review for you all. Please extend our thanks to Ines and Marin!
Lots of love,
Sarah and Ciaran 🙂

Hello Ines,
Sorry about the delay in replying, we arrived home yesterday and I wanted to have a chance to properly write down our appreciation for everything you have done for us since we decided to get married in Dubrovnik 18 months ago!
Matea, Marin and yourself have been simply fantastic from day one, we owe you so much for giving us the perfect wedding weekend! We couldn’t have asked for better!
So many of our guests commented on the impeccable organisation of everything on the day, and they are still praising you now that we are back. Everyone was just blown away by your attention to detail!
So thank you so much for everything!
Love always,
Ellen and Hugh

Hi Ines, Matea & Marin,
Now that the confetti has settled and most of our wedding party have gone home, we have finally had some time to sit and reflect on our big day….
We want you to know how much we truly appreciate everything you have done for us over the last 18 months leading up to our wedding.
From our first meeting with Marin back in Oct 17′ we had no doubt that we wanted to book our wedding with you. Marin was so easy to get along with and we went away knowing we would be in very good hands.
When we first started the wedding planning process we originally had our hearts set on another venue, but when that was not available, Ines helped guide us toward Sponza and Villa Rose and we cannot thank you enough for this, as your suggestions were just perfect.
We know that we only had a modest budget, which can’t have made it easy for you to work with, however you still managed to make everything look absolutely stunning, all of our guests have commented on how magical Villa Rose was!
Matea, we have been emailing back and forth so much on the run up to the wedding and you have been so, SO fantastic! You always got back to me on every question (and I know there was a lot of them! Lol) but you always put our minds and ease, nothing seemed too much trouble for you and everything was done with a big smile. You made everything seem so easy and stress free.
On the day itself we were nervous about the weather when we saw the dark storm clouds and lightening from the boat! Haha. But you were so calm & thank you so much for moving everything inside and then back outside again, at such short notice. We know that can not have been easy for Matea & Marin to deal with, but both transitions were seamless, and we hope you’ll agree that it actually worked perfectly having speeches inside and then the meal outside just in time for the beautiful sunset and we even got a rainbow for our pictures!!
We could not be happier with how the day went, it was truly perfect and that is all down to the 3 of you. The only thing missing was Marin and Matea on the dancefloor with us at the end of the night haha. We tried so hard to get you guys up with us, but ever the professinals you left us to it. Haha.
Please say a big thank you to Veronica as well, she really put us at ease during our photo shoots and made everything really fun, we cannot wait to see the pictures!
Thank you again so, so much for everything. You have given us and our guests a day we will remember for the rest of our lives!
We wish Dubrovnik Event the best of luck for the future. We know that you will continue to make many people as happy as you have made us for years to come!
Lots of love
Rachel & John

Ines
After all the thousands of wedding pictures I’ve posted, I have saved the best ones for last. To begin the journey of planning a wedding, you first need a couple that is wanting celebrate their relationship, the union of their marriage and their future together with friends and family. But believe me when I tell you that this wedding would NOT have happened in the grand fashion it did without these people right here with Dubrovnik Event: Ines Nanić, Matea Oberan and Marin Nanić.
As with some (or most?) women, I’ve dreamed about this day literally since I was 5 and have pictures in little frilly white dresses to prove it. So planning this wedding was no small task, along with years of Pinterest inspo boards at my disposal. And planning a destination wedding in a place we’ve never been added an entirely other layer of crazy. Aaron and I knew really very little about Croatia when we first began researching options. We heard it was the little known gem of the Adriatic (thanks Tiana Mandukich) and saw it as the backdrop to many Game of Thrones scenes. When we finally started to really focus on Dubrovnik, Croatia we were lucky enough to find Ines and her team at Dubrovnik Event.
From the very first correspondence with her, I could tell that she was no BS and that’s exactly what we needed in our planning adventure. She was always a straight- shooter, honest with quick and direct responses and we could tell she was very well-connected in the area. When we began to describe our vision of what we wanted, Ines was able to offer us amazing options that fit exactly what we were looking for. We would ask if certain things were possible, and she’s like “of course” and was quick to let us know how she could make it work. She would answer my 20+ question emails like it was no big deal (and there were a lot of those emails!). Matea also was there to jump in on a lot of my requests and was just a joy to work with. We did not have to do any vendor research or any major correspondence with our vendors. It was all Ines and her team. We were confident that they were choosing the best of the best in the city for our big day.
When we got the chance to travel to Dubrovnik in July 2018 to meet Ines and our team of vendors before the wedding, it was like everything was already planned. She set up all our meetings with everyone including an engagement shoot with our photographer, hair and makeup trial, menu tasting, tablescape viewing, etc. We were only there for two days and it made us feel so great and comfortable by the time we left there. It already felt like we had been there before. We now just felt excited as we knew Ines and her team were on it.
The wedding weekend finally arrived and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. As expected on any wedding day, things happen. Hair and makeup went a bit long and the groomsmen and groom’s family got stuck in the hotel elevator on the way to the ceremony (true story!), so the timeline had to shift a bit. Aaron and I also walked down the aisle at the wrong time when we thought the ceremony was over and Ines was right there, telling us that we had to suck it up and turn around and head back to the altar so we could finish our ceremony and officially be married – HAHA (also another hilarious story). I’m sure other issues came up that we had no idea about because that is what a true wedding professional does. THEY HANDLE IT. And Ines handled sh*t.
What a very special person it takes to plan the most memorable and important day in a someone’s life. When the stakes and emotions are high. What pressure that brings and to do it with such ease! I commend her and the team for what they did for us and for all the other couples that came before us and will come after us. Special thanks to Marin as well for helping in the planning process and being our “security” at our post-wedding brunch when people tried to crash our party. You all deserve all the accolades in the world. Already featured in Vogue and I know that’s just the beginning for Dubrovnik Event. Thank you for making that weekend more than a dream.
For anyone who is thinking of doing a destination wedding: DO IT. It’s 100% possible, with the right planner. We found Croatia to be the most reasonable when it came to value for how stunning the country is and the venue options. We looked at many places in Mexico and Europe and for the “wow” factor that Dubrovnik offered, it was the perfect fit. For anyone that has questions about destination weddings, I am happy to answer help, especially re: Dubrovnik. I also think I have the perfect planner I can recommend there 😉

Matea & Ines,
Thank you will never suffice for helping Ruben and I have such a perfect wedding day. I was honestly really concerned that I had scoured over so many images of Dubrovnik and the wedding location that it could live up to the expectation, but it exceeded every one. Thank you for being flexible answering every question I had and making sure that I was comfortable with every decision that was made. You were always so prompt and never left me wondering even with the large time difference.
Matea, THANK YOU! Ruben and I especially would like to thank you for helping us charter a boat two days before the wedding. Second to the wedding it was probably our favorite part of the trip. Thank you for being so accommodating and sharing with us your love for your job but also your love for Dubrovnik. You were always so responsive once we were in town and helped calm all my nerves the day of. The wedding table was BEAUTIFUL and you helped with any and every detail! I could not imagine having to face the day without your help and guidance!

If you could share this with Veronica that would be wonderful!
Veronica,
Ruben told me that when you came over to take pictures, he was so nervous he could barely talk but your laughter and spirit helped make everything a little easier. I would have to say that I agree as well. Your energy was perfect, and we had so much fun taking our photos in Old Town afterward. Thank you again!!!
Again, Matea and Ines we could never say thank you enough!
Much love!
Katie

Dear Matea and Ines
It’s been over a week now since the wedding and I think I’ve finally come back down to earth. I’ve written a Facebook review, but in all honesty I don’t believe I will ever be able to find the words to truly explain how thankful we are, and how fantastic you are. It was wonderful; from start to finish. The decorations were perfect, the venues looked stunning and the boat trip, well how you managed to get the sun to set at that particular location is a triumph and a half ;-). Every single guest said it was the best wedding they’d ever been to and a few said it was better than their own, which made me smile. We received constant thanks and well wishes for days afterwards, it was simply perfect.
Please could you pass on our thanks to Barbara and Anna for hair and make up, and Katija and her husband for the photography. They were amazing; I am so excited about the pictures, literally cannot wait!!!!
And a particular thank you from my husband (I’m not sure I’ll ever get used to saying that) for keeping the video a secret and making it possible for him to play it at the reception. If you’d still like to see it, I can send via dropbox if you have an account? The file is too large for email so if you’ve got in mind an alternative way of sharing it with you, let me know.
Look forward to hearing from you
Take care

Dearest Ines, Matea, Dean, Jasna, Barbara & The Taliri Band,
Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for our amazing wedding.
Dean – How on earth are your photos coming through this quickly!? You have done an incredible job and we are thrilled with them. Thanks for getting a few through straight away so friends and family who weren’t at the wedding could see how amazing it turned out! You know exactly what you are doing and are so efficient and this is not only from me but many guests at the wedding to. Can’t wait to see all the final photos! Thank you.
Jasna – We spent such a lovely afternoon with you! It was so lovely meeting you and all your emails up to the big day made me feel so excited and I knew myself and my bridal party were in such good hands. Thank you.
Barbara – I was blown away by your skills. You knew exactly what you were doing and breezed through the morning getting everyone’s hair and make up done not only quickly, but to exactly how I wanted. Also thank you for understanding when Mum was a bit late! Thank you.
Taliri Band – You guys are absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!! The way the music flowed throughout the evening – even our fathers who NEVER dance were up dancing! That was so cool! Thank you for learning Mardy Bum. The beautiful music whilst eating dinner was perfect (love Norah Jones!!!) And then as it amped up – everything was spot on. Thank you.
Ines & Matea – You guys are one and a million. I can’t believe a simple google search over 2 years ago led me to you. It is so daunting trying to organise an overseas wedding where the language isn’t out first language. I had no preconceived ideas of what to expect but you blew us out of the water. Your contact is always professional but relaxed and personal, nothing too difficult, your flexible, so friendly and so organsied. The decoration and flowers turned out perfect – just as I envisioned, venue and food was INSANE, even to the nightclub at the end, night at the hotel and your gorgeous gift I can’t wait to use in New Zealand – it was all AMAZING. I honestly think everyone at the wedding also commented on how amazing everything flowed and the atmosphere they were a part of.
I really can’t thank you all enough for being so amazing. We had the best day and so did all our guests.
Love Marie & Mike
