Recipe for Stress Free Wedding #1 - Zovko Hoteli

Boyfriend and girlfriend sitting in the tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g...

A little more than a year ago I got married. I've been with my wonderful man for 5 and a half years before we tight a knot.

May 23, 2014 is one of the happiest days of my life. We started planning the wedding in November, 2013. We've put alot of planning into that day. There was quite of drama during that 6 months but it was all worth it! I will tell you a little about my experience with planning a wedding and mention some of the people and places, besides my wonderful man, that made my wedding day perfect and stress free.

First order of business was finding a wedding venue that had a beautiful interior, offered awesome food for the wedding diner and, if possible, reasonably priced. We looked all over Zagreb for a perfect place. After six failed attempts we visited Zovko Hotels in Sesvete. And we fell in love!

Situated on the east side of Zagreb and easily accessible by car or taxi but away from traffic jam in the center off the city seemed like a good thing to start with.

We arranged a meeting with the hotel manager. The person in charge of the wedding organization in Zovko was waiting for us, willing to answer all of the questions, even those we didn't know we had. The place looked amazing, the food that they offer was just what we looking for (and my hubby being a "foodie", we were looking for a lot) and the price was more than reasonable. I was in love. Plus all of the above, they have their own light show, all kinds of decorations and more than imaginable number of color schemes for the venue (table cloths, napkins, ribbons, chairs, vases, displays, candle holders, oh my..)

 

Zovko wedding team consists of well trained and professional waiting staff, receptionists, great chefs and the Queen that makes happen. There was no table that had to ask for anything because as soon a bottle of vine or water or juice ran out there was instantly one to replace it, thanks to hard working staff. The food was so delicious, freshly made and of the highest quality. And I am so thankful for it.

Buffet in the lobby for the guests that were waiting for us. Mmmmm..

The lady that keeps everything perfectly running is the most engaged, organized and wonderful person. From the second we entered the meeting to arrange the venue business till the day we left the hotel as a married couple, she made us feel like the only couple that is getting married in Croatia. She dealt with the florists, the bakers, photographers so I didn't have to worry about anything except coming to my wedding. Till this day we get holiday and anniversary texts from her. I thank you Maja from the bottom of my heart. I will never forget everything you did for us and I am your FOREVER FAN!

If you are on the look out for the venue for your wedding, business conference, christening or graduation party I highly recommend Zovko Hotels. This is not a sponsored post. This is written because of the perfectly perfect experience Zovko Hotels and their crew made my wedding reception to be. And I will be forever grateful.

Talk to you later,

Cheers!
