DESTINATION WEDDING IN POLAND - VISITING A SELECTED WEDDING VENUE IN POLAND 

Visiting the chosen wedding venue is an absolute must. Therefore, make sure that this trip to Poland is included in your budget.

Because a wedding venue is more than just the location of the event - it's the space that makes you and your guests feel. It is also extremely important to know all the logistical challenges and possibilities of your chosen wedding location. Having ideas for your wedding is fantastic, but the most important thing is being able to execute them. Therefore, if you have any questions I am here to help you. 

Sorel and Paul dreamed of destination wedding in Poland with their love and a handful of close friends and family. Who knows this wonderful city will certainly not be surprised by Sorel and Paul's choice of wedding venue in Krakow. The south Poland region is indeed magical, whether you’re talking about beautiful the capital city of Krakow or the romantic storybook Polish mountains.

Krakow is considered one of the best destinations for weddings in Poland and here’s why.  As well as being the cradle of the Polish culture and tradition, Krakow is a paradise-like place to experience, relax and enjoy.

WEDDING IN KRAKOW - AMERICAN ACTRESS AND FILM DIRECTOR, A LOVE STORY FROM LOS ANGELES

Everybody wants to be loved and understood, but finding true love is never easy - and this can be especially true for celebrities, who seem to have even more challenges in this topic than anyone else in the glare of publicity. But there are some Hollywood stars out there whose love stories are inspiring and insightful.

As a Wedding Planner - Dorota Nowakowska The Art of Celebrating Weddings  I had a pleasure in meeting such a happy couple, who really inspire me with their devotion to each other. Sorel Carradine and Paul Kowalski - they're one of the most stunning couples in Hollywood. I am absolutely happy that I was able to organize their destination wedding in Krakow and meet them personally.

Paul's words straight from the heart about their love story: "It happened as it often happens when we both least expected it. Within five minutes of meeting Sorel, I knew my life would change forever. We started right away and then we danced all night long to David Bowie. After that night we were inseparable and we couldn't get enough of each other."
 

WEDDING IN KRAKOW - ELEGANT WITH A TOUCH OF ROMANCE, TIMELESS AND CLOSE TO TRADITION

And then after a long time .... They decided that their love so strong and sincere should be honored with a double Vow. They wanted the weddings to be very intimate and personal in both places in California in the USA and in Krakow in Poland. Both ceremonies took place very closely. Although the ceremonies differed, they were very emotional. In California, the couple decided that their wedding will be in the Old California style, while their wedding in Poland will be more closer to polish tradition. They wanted their wedding design to be extremely clean, elegant with a touch of romance and timeless.

They started planning a wedding in one of their most beloved places in Poland - in Krakow. Given that Sorel and Paul are a very famous Hollywood couple
 

Sorel is part of the Hollywood acting dynasty. Her grandfather, John Carradine, worked regularly with legendary directors. Uncle Sorela, David (Bill in "Kill Bill" and the star of "Kung Fu") and Bobby ("Revenge of the Nerds") and her father, Keith (Oscar winner for "Nashville", as well as TV shows such as "Deadwood" and " Dexter ”) continued the tradition.

Paul Kowalski is an award-winning writer/director whose style tends toward dark psychologies, hypnotic imagery, and themes of exile, obsession and the supernatural. His His films often win awards such as the Audience Award and a Jury Prize at various film festivals.

They knew they wanted something cozy, elegant and intimate. They were very anxious to ensure absolute privacy and create a one-of-a-kind getaway for their closest family and friends.

WEDDING IN CHURCH IN KRAKOW  - WITH PERSONALIZED EXPERIENCE

The ceremony took place in one of the most beautiful historic churches in Krakow. To personalize this experience, Sorel and Paul made every effort to ensure that the priest who blessed them could get to know them better before the ceremony. Thanks to this, their wedding in the Church in Krakow was extremely touching. A significant element of the ceremony for the couple were the texts and prayers read by their relatives. During the wedding in the Church, special music was also selected by Sorel and Paul.

GALE DINNER IN WEDDING VENUE IN KRAKOW 

For dinner, the newlyweds and their guests went to a restaurant in Krakow called Szara Gęś, run by an outstanding chef. This is one of the most exclusive restaurants in Krakow. Delicious dishes and interior designed in a light, luxurious style are the showcase of this place.

The gala dinner lasted for hours, because of course, after the tasty dish, special wines and cocktails were served. The couple had a unique opportunity to spend time relaxing and talking to each of their valued guests. 

The speeches of the bride and groom and their guests were a profound confirmation of what a beautiful love connects Sorel and Paul and what truly good and sincere people they are surrounded by every day. A remarkable experience for all wedding guests (and including me, restaurant manager, photographer ...) was the repeated marriage vows of Sorel and Paul, which they had previously made in California. All my life I have not heard the words of love from the heart spoken so poetically, as in this special evening. Tears of deep, beautiful emotion ran down the cheeks and the words touched the heart.
 

I cannot thank Sorel and Paul enough for allowing me to go on this journey with them. I am glad that as a wedding planner I was able to help Sorel and Poul celebrate their wedding in Krakow in elegant style and I was able to create beautiful moments and memories for them. 

SOREL AND PAUL WEDDING IN KRAKOW IN THE POLISH WEDDING MAGAZINE "MAGAZIN WESELE" 

I am happy to add that Sorel and Paul destination Wedding in Poland was presented in the prestigious Polish wedding magazine "Magazyn Wesele" - as many as 6 pages about their beautiful love and their both weddings. I am proud and happy that I could be a part of this beautiful event and a witness to their love story.

Outdoor weddings in Poland are becoming more and more popular every year. Of course, your dreams of an outdoor wedding may come true if you decide to take a civil wedding or symbolic wedding. However, the situation is completely different with a religious wedding outside a church in Poland. The Polish Episcopate issued a special position regarding weddings outside the church. This type of wedding is possible only in exceptional cases, but in practice such a permit is issued very rarely.

Can a priest marry you outside of a church in Poland?

Under the Catholic Church's cannon law, marriages are meant to be performed by a Catholic priest inside either the bride or groom's parish church. If you would like to marry in another parish, you must have a license to marry outside the parish.

Religious weddings take place in a church, chapel or any other religious venue, presided over by a priest. Bishops are very reluctant to grant authorization for outdoor weddings by a Catholic parish, because they are concerned with maintaining a sense of the sacred and holiness.

 

A religious wedding outside a church - Dominika and Marcin are married

An outdoor church wedding is possible only in exceptional cases. A beautiful example of the realization of dreams about a church outdoors  wedding is my wedding couple - Dominika and Marcin. I helped them go through all the wedding formalities and collect the appropriate permits for  a religious wedding outside a church, from the priest and the bishop. It was necessary to write a very good application with a strong argument of why the wedding couple asks to get married outside the church. I am very glad that I helped my wedding couple fulfill their dreams of getting married outside the church. See how special it was at the wedding of Dominika and Marcin.

Outdoor church wedding - what costs should be considered

The fee for an outdoor church wedding is exactly the same as the fee for a wedding mass inside the church. In addition, it will be necessary to remember about such additional costs as: 

*   Fee for renting a place for the ceremony    

*   Creating a field altar.Hiring chairs for the ceremony.   

*   Arranging decorations for an outdoor wedding. 

*   Providing good sound and music.  

*   Roofing of the wedding ceremony against weather changes.

Outdoor church weddings in Poland are still very rare. It is worth considering whether you are closer to the sacrament of marriage and spiritual connection during a church wedding or whether you are closer to the nature and aesthetics of an outdoor wedding.

The world is full of magical wedding venues, patiently waiting for our senses to heighten to discover them. Sometimes the most beautiful of them as Wieliczka Salt Mine can be seen and even touched. And what to do when we are not always given such an opportunity?

"WIELICZKA" SALT MINE - THE UNIQUE VENUE FOR WEDDING IN POLAND

Open yourself to the senses and know such a place with the heart. This is what one of my wedding couples did, choosing the Wieliczka Salt Mine as the venue for their wedding ceremony and reception. They both come from the United States and, due to their profession, could not come to Poland until the week before their wedding. When they finally got the chance to see the Salt Mine in Wieliczka in person, they seemed to have known the place forever.

When I design and organize weddings, my priority is to get to know the Bride and Groom as much as possible and create such a unique experience for them. I awaken their senses so that every touch of love they put into planning their wedding will bring them the best and most beautiful experiences on their wedding day and memories after the wedding. Today I present a few frames from a wedding ceremony in the Wieliczka Salt Mine. My Wedding Couple chose this place for their Big Day with their hearts!

Together, we can plan your wedding virtually!  This is not a new concept to me as a response to the shutdown.  For years I have been working with couples by connecting virtually.   Because most of my clients don’t live in the same place as me. I am very happy that every year I create unique weddings in Poland for wonderful couples from the United States, Canada, Australia, France, England, Sweden, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, China, Japan and many others (forgive me for not mentioning all of them;)). 

Are you dreaming of a luxury wedding in Krakow?  My couple Cara and Jack did, too. They both come from the United States and due to their professions, they could not fly to Poland until the wedding week.  They relied on my professional guidance, pictures and links to pick the perfect all vendors for their wedding. I planned their Salt Mine Wedding by only communicating via video conference, phone calls, and emails. The end result was nothing short of spectacular. Cara said to me: „You really did tell our love story and every single detail reflected that. Our guests had a wonderful experience that awakened all their senses. It was brilliant! Thank you for every touch of love that you put into planning our day”.

Cassi and Wojtek dream of  a romantic wedding in Krakow. During the planning period, this couple lived in Great Britain with busy careers.  When you look through their wedding photos, you would never guess that the first time Cassi and Wojtek saw their wedding venue site was just days before their ceremony. All our planning was done via Skype, Whatsapp and emails.  When we finally got the chance to hug in person, it felt like we had known each other forever. I have to admit that at their touching ceremony, tears of joy ran down my cheeks 😉

The process of virtual wedding planning can be just as special and just as personal.  Allow yourself to get excited about planning your wedding in Poland and don’t delay your plans. You deserve to be celebrated!  

Tuscany weddings are unique! There are absolutely romantic and breathtaking.  Everyone will agree with that, isn't that true? However, not everyone knows that there are places for a wedding in Poland that touch the style of Tuscany as well. One of these places chose my wedding couple from England as their wedding venue.
