Dubrovnik Wedding venues - churches

Since every (Catholic) church ceremony should be hosted within a church building, this already defines decisions about seating scheme and chair types. Music is expected to be on a spiritual side.
Unlimited options of decór.

The most important document is "Confirmation of freedom to marry" which is the authorization given to the spouses by higher church authority (depends of particular country). It will contain permission for marrying outside of their parish. It is signed by the diocese, valid for six months from the time they are issued. These documents must be sent within 2 months of the wedding date, so that there is enough time to make sure they are all correct and that nothing is missing.

Here are some example church wedding venues in Dubrovnik.

We redesigned our website

We are excited to announce that we just launched an update to our website today. Since our last website refresh in 2009 (!) the technology and the expectations for how a website should function and look has changed dramatically. 

With all the commitments we've had during the past couple of years we kept postponing the upgrade. Only in 2020 with that involuntary break caused by epidemics we finally focused on it.

Our site stays visual and we believe that 90% of existing images are still there. The new responsive format is better suited for browsing across all types of devices ranging from desktops to tablets and smartphones. 

The URL is the same, take a look when you get a chance: http://doyouwed.me

Hope you like it.

Church wedding in Croatia

Our church weddings in Dubrovnik last year were hosted on various venues: a few town locations, a few islands and a few Cavtat weddings.

The central Dubrovnik venue is the St. Blaise church.

Other really good in-town alternative is St. Ignatius Church. Architect Ignazzio Pozzo was inspired after Rome's Chiesa del Gesu.

Out of town churches we like the most are St. Nicholaus Church in Cavtat. It's a typical Mediterranean church, charming and very intimate located right in the center of small coast town of Cavtat:

Wedding in Villa, Croatia, Dubrovnik

If you put together central location right next to the main historic Dubrovnik sites, intimate and comfortable place, excellent catering (did I say guests were amazed?) you get the wedding we've organized in September 2010 in Dubrovnik Villa.




Ah yes, we were listening great music and wine was delicious. If you decide you would like to go for a wedding in villa in Dubrovnik you will not be sorry for sure.

Wedding in hotel Neptun, Dubrovnik

Just came across these few photos from the August 2010, and the letter from Nada and Dado:

Thanks to Kike and her team, we were able to organize an amazing wedding in our native Croatia all the way from the USA. She helped us pick the perfect location - the gorgeous Villa Elita, and the beautiful terrace of Hotel Neptun Importanne- both on the street where the bride grew up, which made it extra special. The staff at Importanne was amazing, as was the food, which everyone is still raving about.


Because of Kike's work, the planning was easy and smooth as she took care of all the details, communicated with the Importanne staff, and recommended excellent vendors for whatever we needed. In addition, she has an eye for detail and knows her way with flowers. Her beautiful arrangements, made only of local flowers like we wanted, were perfect for the occasion and the ambiance. We wouldn't have been able to do this without Kike's help and we are definitely recommending her to anyone who wants a stress-free wedding in Dubrovnik.

Have a look here for a few another images from this season weddings in Croatia.

Two islands wedding in Croatia

Close to Dubrovnik there are some of the most beautiful islands in the Croatia: Mljet, Lokrum (botanical garden ) and Elaphiti Islands: Sipan, Kolocep and Lopud . All of them are superb wedding venues in Croatia.

Elaphiti Islands

True jewels of Dubrovnik archipelago. Wedding party is the great way to experience beautiful Elaphiti Islands; enjoy the sun and the clear blue sea that surrounds the islands. Chain of islands between the Pelješac peninsula and the Lapad peninsula used to be a favorite place for summer residences of the Dubrovnik aristocrats in ancient times.

What to do on islands

Take a bath, eat fresh fish, enjoy beautiful views, make daily journeys to Dubrovnik, go for cruises to other islands. Enjoy crystal clear sea of Dubrovnik coast during your destination wedding in Croatia.

Dubrovnik Wedding in September

Our great couple Anastasia and Dmitriy sent us a very nice mail, here is the excerpt:

"Поначалу даже страшно было жениться в другой стране,это казалось большой невыполнимой авантюрой,но благодаря профессионализму,пониманию и просто хорошему человеческому отношению Kike и её команды всё не просто великолепно получилось,а прошло как в сказке. Мы до сих пор с теплотой и благодарностью вспоминаем эти дни в Дубровнике. Не бойтесь и вы осуществить свою мечту !!!"

The translation would be:

"At first, it's frightening to marry in another country, it seemed impossible a big gamble, but thanks to the professionalism, understanding and just good human relations Kike and her team are not all just beautifully worked and was like a fairy tale. We are still warmly and gratefully recall those days in Dubrovnik. Do not be afraid and you realize her dream!"


Thanks Anastasia, thanks Dmitriy a lot, for us it was great pleasure and excitment working with you!!! Soon will have some images of yours on our website.
