April 16, 2020 - Planning a wedding in Croatia which is being affected by coronavirus? Help is at hand with a free online consultation from an experienced wedding planner.
One of the things I am finding fascinating as a journalist in this corona crisis is how different industries are dealing with the direct impact they are experiencing on their particular business and sector.
Health and economic survival are the most important things to consider, of course, but once you catch your breath on the rapid changes in the world, then one remembers that we all had plans and dreams before the world was put on hold.
Spare a thought for the young couples planning to tie the knot in idyllic Croatia this year, such as this couple above, who did in one of the Adriatic's top destinations, the island of Hvar.
Getting married is one of the most stressful things to do at the best of times, doing so abroad adds another level of pressure, and then throw in the corona factor, and what is a bride-to-be supposed to do?
Thankfully, help is at hand.
TCN's popular new series looking at expats locked down in Croatia - Foreigners Self-Isolating in Croatia: Do You Feel Safer? has taken us all over the country and all over the world, as some 40 expats locked down in Croatia have shared their experiences in Croatia, as well as comparing how Croatia is handling the crisis to things back in their homeland. You can see the entire series here.
Among them was Tamara Shatkova, who runs Adriatic Weddings Croatia on Murter, who gave us this lovely and very positive interview about her current reality in the only part of Croatia under quarantine.
While we were chatting, I asked her how she was adjusting her business to the new reality, and her answer surprised me.
She told me that while business was obviously affected, she was concerned also about the many couples who are trying to organise their wedding in Croatia without a wedding planner. The corona effect would have knocked them sideways.
And so she recently posted this message on her social media channels:
Stressed about your upcoming wedding in Croatia❓Ask me what to do!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Most couples face stress as they move toward their wedding day, but making changes during a pandemic adds another layer. I’m sure that they are a lot of couples out there, who don’t have the support of a wedding planner as they are organizing a wedding in Croatia by themselves. These couples need a person who can guide them in this time of uncertainty. For that reason, I would like to offer a complimentary one-on-one call for those couples until the end of the summer. No strings attached:) You can message me directly or contact me through our web to set up the time that works best for you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wishing everyone an amazing day and stay positive ?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Lots of love,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tamara
A very nice gesture from a very nice lady.
If you would like to take Tamara up on her offer, you can contact her via her Adriatic Weddings Croatia website.
