Celebrating Two Decades of Excellence Since 2004
Experiential Wedding Planner Bulgaria, for weddings designed to be remembered
If you are choosing Bulgaria for your wedding, it’s not by accident. It is a place that already means something to you, for its beauty, its atmosphere, and because it does not feel like anywhere else.
We work with international couples who want more than a well-organised day.
Couples who want their wedding to feel right. Natural, considered, and truly personal.
As a leading wedding planner in Bulgaria with 20+ years of experience, we design weddings as complete experiences.
Not only how they look, but how they are experienced, how they feel, and how they are remembered by you and by everyone who shares the day with you.
World-Class Experience Design for International Couples
Weddings that are not only beautifully planned, but deeply felt and remembered
Planning a wedding from abroad can feel overwhelming — not because it’s complicated, but because distance makes everything feel uncertain. Our role is to remove that uncertainty.
From the very beginning, we take responsibility for the full picture:
the flow of the day, the atmosphere, the guest experience, and the countless details that allow everything to feel effortless.
You don’t need to manage your wedding. You need someone who understands what matters to you both and knows how to turn it into an experience.
You may be living in London, New York, Dubai, or elsewhere in the world, but your wedding will never feel far away.
We guide you through the entire journey with clarity and structure, so decisions feel calm, intentional, and never rushed.
You’ll always know where you are in the process, and you’ll never feel alone in it.
We don’t decorate weddings. We design experiences.
Every wedding we create begins with understanding you, how you live, what you value, and what you want this day to represent in your life.
From there, we shape a cohesive vision where setting, music, light, table, timing, food and drinks, and entertainment all work together — not to impress, but to feel true to you.
Many of our couples come from different countries, backgrounds, or traditions.
Our work is not about choosing one over the other; it’s about weaving them together naturally, so everyone feels included and at ease.
When it’s done well, it doesn’t feel like a compromise.
It feels like it could only belong to you.
OUR APPROACH
BEGIN WITH CONFIDENCE
Where elegance meets ease
Our role is to bring clarity to the process and cohesion to the day.
We make considered decisions that serve the overall experience, allowing each moment to feel intentional without feeling staged.
The result is a wedding that feels balanced, thoughtful, and unforced.
THE PLANNER
Meet Mariella
Your wedding planner and experience designer for your wedding in Bulgaria
Planning a wedding from another country requires more than a checklist. It requires trust.
With a background in five-star hospitality in London and Dubai, and as Bulgaria’s first certified wedding planner, I understand both international expectations and local reality.
My role as your wedding planner in Bulgaria is simple: to take on the responsibility, protect the experience, and let you be fully present on your wedding day, not managing it, not worrying, just living it.
Sincere Words from Our Clients
The best decision we made for our wedding.
“Hiring Mariella was the best decision we made. Planning from the U.S. could have been stressful, but she made it smooth, organised, and genuinely enjoyable. Despite the complexity of two venues—an ancient Roman theatre in Old Plovdiv and a Hills brewery park—everything flowed seamlessly.”

Planning your dream wedding in Bulgaria, from anywhere in the world. Enjoy a perfectly coordinated, high-end experience with our expert remote planning and local support.
We live in London/abroad and can't travel to Bulgaria often. How do we plan a wedding remotely?
This is exactly why we exist. Being based in London with a deep network in Bulgaria, we act as your local eyes and ears. We use a “Digital First” planning approach: you’ll have access to a Virtual Wedding Folder (Google Drive) where you can track every contract, payment, and design board in real-time. We also conduct venue tours via live video calls (when and where possible), so you can “walk through” locations from your living room.
One of us isn't Bulgarian. What are the legal requirements for us to marry there?
Navigating foreign bureaucracy is a common concern, and while legal documents must be obtained personally from your local institutions, we provide detailed information and guidance on exactly what you need. We will walk you through which documents are required, where to obtain them, and how to prepare them for submission to the Bulgarian authorities, ensuring your paperwork is in order before the big day.
How do we ensure our foreign guests feel comfortable and informed?
We assist your guests by selecting at least two hotel options near the venue—one of which is always budget-friendly. We work with a trusted transport company servicing all of Bulgaria to arrange shuttles, private cars, or group transfers at any time. Furthermore, we are highly experienced in delivering unforgettable experiences for guests, from half-day trips to historical sites to exploring traditional cuisine and drinks, learning the Bulgarian horo, and more.
Can you help us blend Bulgarian traditions with our own cultural background?
Absolutely; “Fusion” weddings are our speciality. Whether it’s explaining the Breaking of the Bread ritual to a foreign family or blending a traditional Bulgarian menu with international preferences, we ensure the day reflects both of you. We work with professional Master of Ceremonies and DJs who are fluent in English and experts at keeping a multicultural celebration running smoothly.
How do we handle payments to Bulgarian vendors from a foreign bank account?
We make the financial process as smooth as possible by communicating directly with suppliers to obtain all necessary information for you to make your bank transfers. Since Bulgaria officially adopted the euro on January 1, 2026, all payments are now made in Euros, making international transfers much more straightforward and transparent for couples living abroad.
Do you offer fixed-price packages or bespoke planning?
We offer fixed packages tailored to your wedding size and unique requirements. This provides you with a clear structure and budget certainty from the start. While our management fees are fixed, we always strive to negotiate the best possible prices with vendors on your behalf to ensure you receive the highest value for your investment.
