Wonderful Weddings in Croatia, a wedding planning company based in Croatia, recently received the APEX “Upcoming Wedding Planner of the Year” award at a prestigious ceremony in the United Arab Emirates.
The APEX Awards, widely regarded as one of the most esteemed honors in the wedding planning industry, recognizes top-tier professionals across various sectors, including hospitality experts, elite wedding planners, and designers.
The award comes at a significant time for Croatia, as Italy was also honored with the “Luxury Wedding Destination of the Year” award, highlighting Croatia’s potential in the luxury wedding sector. This recognition acknowledges the hard work and dedication of Maja Kauzlarić and her team at Wonderful Weddings in Croatia, who have successfully planned numerous high-profile events over the years.
“It was truly humbling and inspiring for all of us at Wonderful Weddings in Croatia,” said Maja Kauzlarić. “This award is a testament to Croatia’s tremendous potential as a luxury wedding destination, and it marks a significant step in placing the country on the global luxury wedding map.”
The company’s clientele primarily consists of international couples and members of the Croatian diaspora, who choose to celebrate their special day in the country of their ancestors. Croatia’s breathtaking landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and deep sentimental value offer couples not only a beautiful venue but a meaningful connection to their roots.
Weddings organized by Wonderful Weddings in Croatia take place throughout the country, though the Adriatic coast remains the most popular region. The enchanting beauty of Dalmatia, Istria, and the Croatian islands offers a unique blend of history, natural splendor, and exclusivity, making them ideal for luxury weddings. Croatia’s diverse landscape allows for everything from intimate celebrations in private seaside villas to grand events in centuries-old palaces.
Maja Kauzlarić and her team work closely with some of the finest vendors in the industry to ensure that every wedding is meticulously designed and flawlessly executed, adhering to a haute couture philosophy that emphasizes personalized, one-of-a-kind experiences.
The APEX Awards this year recognized some of the most prominent professionals in the luxury wedding industry, with winners hailing from Dubai, Lebanon, India, Pakistan, Oman, Italy, and Croatia.
“This recognition is not just about our company’s achievements, but it also highlights Croatia’s growing presence in the global luxury wedding scene,” Kauzlarić remarked. “We were honored to help put Croatia on the luxury wedding map. This is a significant moment for the country, and it motivates me to continue raising industry standards and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in luxury weddings.”
Kauzlarić expressed pride in Croatia’s emerging status as a global destination for luxury weddings. She believes the country’s hospitality industry has vast potential to attract high-end clientele, further solidifying Croatia’s place as a top-tier destination for luxurious, unforgettable weddings.
