FOUNDER OF ADRIATIC WEDDINGS AND THE BEST WEDDING PLANNER IN CROATIA
Meet
Tamara
On our wedding day, we had two perfect rainbows that appeared in the sky over us. They were so beautiful. While I can’t promise to give you rainbows at your destination wedding in Croatia, I can promise that it will still be a day you’ll never forget.
It turns out I’ve worked in weddings since I was just a teenager. My first job in a boutique hotel was working with a wedding planner. So, it seems I was always destined for this role! My background in hospitality, working at exclusive hotels and resorts in the United States, Switzerland and China, fine-tuned my eye for detail and my impeccable organizational skills.
Along the way, I met my Croatian husband. And when we moved to Croatia in 2010, I fell in love all over again with the stunning landscapes and culture this country has to offer.
It’s here that I rediscovered my passion for wedding planning. Being able to design and plan the kind of weddings that leave my couples breathless and in love with this place by the time they leave is one of the reasons I love what I do so much.
I believe your wedding day is not just an event. It’s an experience to be cherished and held close to your heart well into your marriage and for many more years beyond that. I cannot wait to meet you and find out what your dream wedding looks like!

ANSWER:
QUESTION:
Wedding costs in Croatia depend on various factors, such as the venue, catering, music, and guest count. On average, weddings cost between €600 and €800 per guest, depending on the venue and time of year. For a modest wedding with 50 guests, we suggest budgeting at least €40,000. This includes the venue, catering, cake, drinks, and planner fees.
For a luxury wedding, expect to spend between €70,000 and €120,000 for a premium venue and additional services. While reducing guest numbers can cut costs, certain fees, like the photographer’s or DJ’s, remain fixed and should be included in your budget.
