A LOVE JOURNEY

Our adorable couple, Dina and Evgeny, was dreaming of an elegant European wedding in an ancient villa, with a magnificent park and a view on vineyards. An easy-to-reach position and the possibility to host a part of their guests were among the requirements they had. The elegant Villa Giona has immediately enchanted everybody and it was soon clear that the wedding of their dreams was going to take place there. The main theme of the event was the travelling spirit that has always characterized our couple as well as their family and friends, who arrived from all over the world. Each of the three days of the event had its own mood and program.

The first day offered a welcome Pasta Party at the Villa Byblos Art Hotel (where another part of guests stayed). Various types of pasta cooked by a professional chef at the open-plan kitchen, delicious refreshments, an open bar, a DJ set and plenty of dancing were the special features of the day. The party could not have ended in any other way than…with a night swim at the pool!

The wedding day started with an exciting tour to the romantic city of Verona, while our bride and groom were preparing for their special moment. The gorgeous ceremony took place in a beautiful park, close to a pond. The aperitif, accompanied by a fancy jazz band, and the gala dinner were served outdoors thanks to the wonderful weather. All guests were really impressed by the elegant decorations and flower compositions, the romantic lighting, the delicious and original Italian dinner and the interesting evening program. Russian and Italian musicians, sincere and emotional wishes for the newlyweds, a short video shown after the dinner and dancing until dawn were also part of this memorable day. On the third day, everybody was invited to a BBQ party in a beautiful location with a breathtaking view on Valpolicella valleys. Obviously, the main theme of all small-talks was the wedding day. The couple has then presented a special gift for their guests – a personalized bottle of Valpolicella Ripasso 2012 wine. The message of this present is simple: our life is a great journey and it becomes even more exciting when you have the person you love by your side!

It took us around 2 months to prepare this amazing event… and we could only have one site inspection together with the couple! Thanks to the mutual trust and a well-coordinated and harmonious work of our team and suppliers, the event has become a real success! It is very touching to see our couple happy and satisfied, as well as to receive numerous compliments from the guests!
