As a wedding planner, my goal has always been to craft dream weddings for couples, but when I was approached by Kristen and Adam to plan their destination wedding at Savoia Castle near Prague, I knew this was going to be an extraordinary experience. Kristen and Adam had a unique vision for their big day; they didn’t just want a wedding ceremony; they wanted an entire vacation experience for themselves, their families, and friends. They aimed to create memories that would last a lifetime for everyone involved, turning their wedding into an epic, once-in-a-lifetime adventure.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.eventista.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/wedding-planner-prague-eventista-ka-chateau-castle-savoia.jpg” title_text=”wedding-planner-prague-eventista-ka-chateau-castle-savoia” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.5″ max_width=”650px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.5″ max_width=”650px” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Personalized Wedding Experience<\/strong><\/p>\n My ultimate goal with every couple I work with, is to create an unforgettable journey leading up to their big day. So I wanted Kristen and Adam to experience everything from the preparation as a standard couple does – from menu tasting and cake tasting to a hair and makeup trial and a pre-wedding photoshoot.<\/p>\n In addition, \u00a0I transitioned from being a destination wedding planner to arranging bookings to crafting a week-long itinerary filled with exciting activities and events, every detail was meticulously planned to ensure a seamless and unforgettable time in Prague.<\/p>\n \n Welcome bags: Icing on the Cake<\/strong><\/p>\n Kristen and Adam wanted to surprise the guests with welcome bags with , each containing curated local treasures: gin, a coaster with the Prague Castle illustration, fragrant tea, and hand-made cookies that were lovingly crafted by a local baker. To sweeten the deal, we included jars of raw honey harvested from the region’s lush landscapes. On top of that, the welcome bags \u00a0included also<\/span> an events itinerary including QR code to get to a customised google map with pins to get the best local experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.eventista.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/wedding-planner-prague-eventista-ka-wedding-flatlay-savoia.jpg” title_text=”wedding-planner-prague-eventista-KA-wedding-flatlay-savoia” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.5″ max_width=”650px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.5″ max_width=”650px” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The Rehearsal Dinner: An Intimate Family Feast<\/strong><\/p>\n The actual wedding festivities began with an intimate rehearsal dinner under the Linden Arch, where the couple, their families, and friends came together for a heartwarming family-style dinner. The atmosphere was relaxed and informal, just like a big family gathering. We decorated the table with some fruit and teracotta pots and installed the fairy lights on the arch to make it even more cozy and inviting. Savoia chef served delicious pizzas and paired them with fine wine. \u00a0 Laughter and joy filled the air as everyone \u00a0celebrated the love between Kristen and Adam.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.eventista.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/wedding-planner-prague-eventista-ka-chateau-castle-savoia-rehearsal-dinner.jpg” title_text=”wedding-planner-prague-eventista-KA-chateau-castle-savoia-rehearsal-dinner” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.5″ max_width=”650px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.5″ max_width=”650px” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The Wedding Ceremony<\/strong><\/p>\n The wedding day arrived, and the ceremony was nothing short of magical. Instead of the typical chairs, we chose a vintage sofas as the seats for all wedding guests. This unique touch added an extra dose of romance and reflected history of the castle. Under the warm sun, Kristen and Adam exchanged vows, and it was an incredibly touching and heartfelt moment. The harmonious melodies of the string trio added an extra layer of emotion, making the occasion truly unforgettable.<\/span>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.eventista.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/wedding-planner-prague-eventista-ka-bridal-preparation.jpg” title_text=”wedding-planner-prague-eventista-KA-bridal-preparation” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.5″ max_width=”650px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.eventista.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/wedding-planner-prague-eventista-ka-groom-savoia.jpg” title_text=”wedding-planner-prague-eventista-ka-groom-savoia” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.5″ max_width=”650px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.eventista.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/wedding-planner-prague-eventista-ka-wedding-ceremony-savoia.jpg” title_text=”wedding-planner-prague-eventista-KA-wedding-ceremony-savoia” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.5″ max_width=”650px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.eventista.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/wedding-planner-prague-eventista-ka-chateau-ceremony-savoia-1.jpg” title_text=”wedding-planner-prague-eventista-KA-chateau-ceremony-savoia” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.5″ max_width=”650px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.eventista.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/wedding-planner-prague-eventista-chateau-castle-savoia-ceremony.jpg” title_text=”wedding-planner-prague-eventista-chateau-castle-savoia-ceremony” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.5″ max_width=”650px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.eventista.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/wedding-planner-prague-eventista-ka-ceremony-16.jpg” title_text=”wedding-planner-prague-eventista-KA-ceremony-16″ align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.5″ max_width=”650px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.5″ max_width=”650px” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n A Dinner in An Apple Orchard<\/strong><\/p>\n For the wedding dinner, we transformed an apple orchard into a whimsical dining setting.

The scent of lavenders and the gentle breeze added to the ambiance, creating an unforgettable dining experience for all.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.eventista.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/wedding-planner-prague-eventista-ka-wedding-dinner-seating-chart-savoia.jpg” title_text=”wedding-planner-prague-eventista-KA-wedding-dinner-seating-chart-savoia” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.5″ max_width=”650px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.eventista.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/wedding-planner-prague-eventista-ka-wedding-dinner-savoia.jpg” title_text=”wedding-planner-prague-eventista-KA-wedding-dinner-savoia” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.5″ max_width=”650px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.5″ max_width=”650px” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Authenticity and Local Culture<\/strong><\/p>\n Authenticity played a significant role in Kristen and Adam’s destination wedding. For them, it was essential to delve beneath the surface of their chosen destination and discover its true essence. They involved local traditions, such as the breaking plate tradition and even incorporated some czech desserts, to embrace the local culture fully.<\/span><\/p>\n Choosing to have a smaller wedding allowed Kristen and Adam to focus on the people who truly mattered in their lives. By gathering their closest family and friends, they created an intimate atmosphere that truly felt like a celebration of love and togetherness.<\/p>\n The food, and wow moments were tailored to match their tastes, leaving a lasting impression on everyone involved. Kristen and Adam wanted to ensure that their guests were not just attending a wedding; they were partaking in an experience like no other.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.eventista.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/wedding-planner-prague-eventista-ka-wedding-traditions-savoia.jpg” title_text=”wedding-planner-prague-eventista-KA-wedding-traditions-savoia” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.5″ max_width=”650px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.5″ max_width=”650px” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n A Customized Backdrop for the Cake<\/strong><\/p>\n I was commited to personalise every detail to make Kristen and Adam’s wedding extraordinary. So I wanted a wedding cake backdrop to be more than just a decoration. It was a tribute to the guests who came from far away to celebrate with them but it was also heartfelt tribute to the couple’s very much loved furry family members, Ollie and Roo, who couldn’t travel to Prague. \u00a0I intentionally didn’t show the couple \u00a0the design of the backdrop before the wedding because I wanted to surprise them and I was really happy that it made this moment even more touching.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.eventista.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/wedding-planner-prague-eventista-chateau-castle-savoia-backdrop.jpg” title_text=”wedding-planner-prague-eventista-chateau-castle-savoia-backdrop” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.5″ max_width=”650px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.eventista.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/wedding-planner-prague-eventista-ka-wedding-cake-savoia.jpg” title_text=”wedding-planner-prague-eventista-KA-wedding-cake-savoia” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.5″ max_width=”650px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.eventista.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/destination-wedding-planner-eventista-ka-cutting-cake-03.jpg” title_text=”destination-wedding-planner-eventista-KA-cutting-cake-03″ align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.5″ max_width=”650px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.eventista.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/wedding-planner-prague-eventista-ka-wedding-table-savoia.jpg” title_text=”wedding-planner-prague-eventista-KA-wedding-table-savoia” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.5″ max_width=”650px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.5″ max_width=”650px” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Prosseco on Wheels: Vintage Prosecco Van<\/strong><\/p>\n Another charming decoration was a vintage prosecco van decorated with beautiful flowers that allowed the guests to enjoy the bubbly drink in style. It was a detail that added an element of fun to the celebration, and the guests loved every sip.<\/span><\/p>\n After the heartwarming first dance in front of the old fountain, the party continued inside the Savoia Castle. The old-world charm of the castle was the perfect backdrop for an enchanting afterparty. The celebration was filled with dancing, laughter, and joy, as the couple and their guests danced the night away, making cherished memories that would last a lifetime.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.eventista.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/wedding-planner-prague-eventista-ka-wedding-prosecco-van-savoia.jpg” title_text=”wedding-planner-prague-eventista-KA-wedding-prosecco-van-savoia” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.5″ max_width=”650px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.eventista.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/prague-wedding-planner-eventista-ka-chateau-castle-savoia-first-dance.jpg” title_text=”prague-wedding-planner-eventista-KA-chateau-castle-savoia-first-dance” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.5″ max_width=”650px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.5″ max_width=”650px” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n After the heartwarming first dance in front of the old fountain, the party continued inside the Savoia Castle. The old-world charm of the castle was the perfect backdrop for an enchanting afterparty. Kristen and Adam share a passion for vinyl records, and to honor their love for music, the wedding guests had the opportunity to sign a vinyl record as a heartfelt gesture for the couple.
