Marina and Nicolas

Meeting the two of them was quite exciting for us, especially after a whole year of planning via emails and video calls. We simplified the activities on Day 1 by showing them around, going over the program and finally having a small rehearsal with the bridesmaids and the rest of the bridal party, just so everyone knew where to stand and how to move around when the time came.

The musical choices Marina and Nick made after we presented them with a bunch of very affirmed performers turned out to be a sweet addition to their weekend. We are still singing the praises of the folk trio with guitar, mandolin and accordion which blessed their aperitif time with such an authentic vibe - much appreciated across the entire group. Another huge surprise for the guests was the Italian tenor serenading the evening with 'O sole mio, Nessun dorma, Funiculì, Funiculà and Con te partirò. It just doesn't get more Italian than this.

The second part of the night is usually reserved for indoor shenanigans. The crowd was moved inside for the cutting of the cake and the dance party. The ice cream cart and midnight pizza snack sure kept all the non-dancing guests very entertained!

We were particularly proud to see that Marina went with the Italian tradition of gifting the guests with a small bag of 5 Jordan almonds, placed on the dinner table. Everyone learnt that they exemplify the five wishes for the couple: health, wealth, happiness, fertility and longevity.

Last, but not least by amount of fun was Day 3, and the brunch at the pool which we recommended. A more relaxed, informal time set up in a part of the property where people can let loose and party.
