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. 

Are you planning a wedding in Poland and dream of a wonderful atmosphere and unforgettable experiences? See my offer and ask for details.

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.

This is a perfect post for newly engaged couples who are considering a destination wedding in Poland and would like to experience something unique that most of their friends have never thought of. Poland is a beautiful country with varied landscapes, excellent cuisine, and wonderful historic sites like Cracow, Wieliczka with the Salt Mine, Zakopane in Polish Mountains and more. Couples who choose a Poland wedding destination can choose from lots of venues of various types and locations. 

You can find a place for a wedding in Poland in elegant palaces, mystical castles, historic manor houses, luxurious hotels, modern loft facilities or closer to nature in rustic and boho granaries or barns. In the summer season, you can also organize an exceptionally beautiful wedding in a tent.

When organizing destination wedding in Poland, you can decide to get married in the church or have an outdoor civil wedding or a symbolic wedding. It all depends on how you want to say YES to yourself and confess your love. You have many great opportunities.


When you come to Poland for the wedding, you can get a feel for the culture, from the specialities on the menu to the music on the dance floor.  One of the oldest and most interesting Polish traditions is, the newlyweds are greeted by their parents with a loaf of bread, salt and two vodka shots. Bread and salt have their own symbolism and stand for prosperity, love, durability and abundance in life. You can incorporate this Polish wedding custom into your celebration, or of course, incorporate your personal heritage in your destination wedding in some way. It is also worth emphasizing that weddings in Poland often last over 12 hours. These hours are filled with chats, food, drinks and dance music until the wee hours of the morning. The day after the wedding is also a time for fun. A branch called "Poprawiny" is very often organized then.

 

Poland is in the center of Europe and has very easy access from all countries in Europe or from the USA and Canada. The fly to Poland from any place in Europe takes just one to three hours.

A gorgeous wedding gown, an outdoor religious wedding ceremony in Krakow combined with vibrant floral arrangements, the interiors of the palace immersed in fragrant summer flowers, and a beautiful couple deeply in love - these are the details that made the wedding of Dominika and Marcin elegant and romantic. Their real wedding in Krakow is a perfect example of how beautiful wedding celebrations are organized in Poland.

Ohmigosh today’s wedding is just so beautiful! I’m really loving the fresh & light interpretation of summer, romantic details and pretty pastel-hued florals of Dominika & Marcin wedding in Krakow.  They married on one of the most beautiful Palace in Poland.

Their religious wedding in Krakow took place outside a Palace. This type of wedding outside a church is possible only in exceptional cases, but in practice such a permit is issued very rarely in Poland. My bride and groom were very fortunate enough to receive that kind of permit. I am all the more glad that I could help them with planning and formalities for such a wedding. The couple exchanged vows in a sun-drenched outdoor ceremony where Dominika’s favorite moment was seeing her groom at the altar.

Among their guests were wedding guests from UK, United States, Canada and Poland.  Dominika’s elegant Lorenzo Rossi dress was the perfect choice, covered in lace and adding a pretty romantic touch to her look, and her amazing three-metre veil creating a real wow-factor.

When planing the concept of decoration in the Palace, we wanted took full advantage of the venue’s large windows to create a bright and airy reception enhanced by a delicate wedding palette of green, white, pink and eucalyptus. It was important to awaken guests' senses and take the summer inside the historic palace. It turned out perfectly - the smell of floating flowers enveloped the guests from the first moment they appeared at the reception, and the sense of sight enjoyed the soft colors of flowers in such surroundings.

I invite you to celebrate this sweet young couple’s timeless summer wedding in Krakow, along with me, by scrolling through dreamy images from their real wedding in Poland. Congratulations, Dominika & Marcin!

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.

What could be dreamier than getting married at one of the polish country’s amazing mountain wedding venues, surrounded by all of nature? These locales are beautiful at any time of year. Those mountain wedding venues in Poland have a cozy feel, especially that can be appreciated during the colder-weather. They also make a unique alternative to the standard city destination wedding in Poland. 

WEDDING IN THE MOUNTAINS IN POLAND

Wedding in the mountains in Poland - I love these landscapes, atmosphere and always fire on the dance floor! My grandparents came from the mountains. I often spent every summer there, admiring the beautiful views and family traditions cultivated for generations. Among the silence of mountain hills, surrounded by greenery, you can really relax. I am always happy to come back to these wonderful places, especially when I am organizing a wedding in the mountains.

WEDDING IN POLISH MOUNTAINS - BACIARSKA CHATA

I have such a favorite place for a wedding in the Polish Mountains (in Beskidy - low Polish mountains). This is Baciarska Chata in Kocierz Hotel & Spa, which is located at the top of a pass (750 m above sea level), surrounded by Beskid forests. There is no more beautiful place for a boho, rustic reception in this region. Natural wood, stone, panoramic windows showing the beauty of the highlander surroundings are the elements for which my wedding couples (and me too 😉) value Baciarska Chata the most.

See what a unique backdrop for a wedding is created in Baciarska Chata in the Polish mountains and what magical wedding receptions are organized in this place. Below are wonderful photos from the wedding of the Polish-German couple Magdalena & Michi, taken by talented photographers Dorota and Michał from Gałązka Fotografia. Place: Kocierz Hotel & Spa.

DO YOU DREAM OF GETTING MARRIED IN THE POLISH MOUNTAINS?

Do you dream of getting married in the Polish mountains? Do you want to create a great experience for your guests by showing them Polish hospitality, traditions and the beauty of nature? If your answer is yes, I will be very happy to answer your questions and assist you in this unique process of creating a beautiful wedding in Poland.
