As described by our couples
If you want to get married in Croatia, this is the company to use!
Ivana and her team at Promessi were incredible! My new husband(!) and I decided to get married in Croatia pretty early in our planning, and took some time to get in touch with all the top companies we could find. From the very beginning, Ivana was by far the most professional and helpful. We decided to work with Promessi, and have been thrilled at every step of the way. And that’s no easy task, considering we were planning a wedding from halfway around the world! …

For anyone considering a destination wedding in Croatia – we cannot recommend Ivana and Nikolina highly enough.
We recently celebrated our wedding in August in Hvar, and we couldn’t have asked for better planners than Ivana and Nikolina at Promessi. From start to finish, they were the epitome of professionalism, combining their expertise with a level of personal care that truly made the entire process feel special…

Promessi turned our dream wedding into reality.
From our initial introduction call, to the wedding day itself, Tina and her Team were with us every step of the way. Their approach, reputation and experience made it very easy to build trust from the outset. They were a pleasure to deal with throughout the entire process, were extremely responsive and most importantly, made us feel supported and reassured that everything was under control. The entire process felt seamless and stress free…

If you’re looking for a professional, design-oriented, and caring planner, look no further than Promessi.
We recently got married in Trogir, Croatia, and had the very good fortunate of working with Tina from Promessi. As we were coming from the US and planning a destination wedding, we knew our choice in planner was vital to bringing our vision to life. Tina was the ultimate collaborator in crafting the happiest day of our life. From start to finish we knew we were in good hands…

We would give Tina all the stars in the sky if we could – 5/5 amazing!
We are very lucky to have the wonderful Tina organise our wedding on the 27th August. From the get go Tina made us feel so relaxed and at ease with the planning of a destination wedding from Australia. The day was absolutely perfect and we would not have been able to do it without her. Everything was so ‘us’ and all the little personal touches like the flowers and seating arrangements were exactly as we asked…
J&J
Our wedding was extraordinary – and I am not saying this from a biased point of view as the bride
Our wedding reflected 100% us – reflecting our personalities and being completely tailored to who we are. We were able to fully enjoy our wedding day, with the Promessi Team handling everything and allowing us to embrace our big day. We would give everything to experience that day again, and would never not choose Promessi and Tina as the planners by our side…
