We love doing weddings! There are all of them and more because Croatia has become an established destination for couples from all over Europe and the world.
Read below about why newlyweds love Kvarner and take a look into a wedding we did in Opatija riviera.
Wedding in Kvarner
Along with Istria, Kvarner is the most popular destination for weddings of domestic and foreign couples. This region follows the fact that Croatia has established itself as a serious destination for weddings, especially in the European context.
Besides sea and sun, this region has a lot to offer.
For weddings, Austro-Hungarian villas, holiday homes and weddings on the Kvarner islands and outdoors in nature (eg olive groves) are very popular.
Most often, newlyweds go to Opatija and the surrounding towns (Lovran, Ika, Ičići), Rijeka, Kastav and Krk.
Wedding in Opatija Riviera: a popular destination for newlyweds
Opatija is certainly the most popular destination for weddings. Beautiful, elegant and luxurious ballrooms, magical villas along the most beautiful promenade in Europe with a wonderful view of the clear blue sea leave all the newlyweds breathless.
For a reason, this city holds the title of one of the most romantic cities in Europe.
Our wedding in the Austro-Hungarian villa
The newlyweds booked us for a wedding in beautiful Lovran. Our task was to prepare food, drinks, bar and desserts. We also took care of the staff and decorations for the wedding of about 20 people.
The setting was a beautiful Austro-Hungarian villa. The courtyard with beautiful greenery and a swimming pool is where most of the action took place.
The guests enjoyed the wedding until the early morning with a view of the beautiful sea.
Exciting wedding menu
The newlyweds chose a menu from which it is evident that they are gourmets and connoisseurs of gastronomy. Today’s trend is to enjoy in a new experiences and to make something special and unique for special occasions.
Our chef Deniz Zembo and the team of chefs really enjoyed preparing the food for this wedding.
Welcome snacks and drinks
As a welcome and the chef’s introduction to the dinner, the guests were served an amouse bouche with a glass of champagne.
The guests were simply delighted by the tartar cones. Their visual presentation always captivates with its performance, and the guests could enjoy meat, fish and vegetable tartar.
A mix of fish and meat specialties
Octopus in forno was served as the first course of this exciting wedding dinner. Side dishes were Mediterranean vegetables, capers, black olive powder, and the emulsion was made from citrus fruits.
The guests continued with tuna cubes with black garlic cream, smoked yogurt with cauliflower and microgreens.
The new frittata was probably the winner of the night. Presenting the local in a modern way is always interesting. Fritaja with Kvarner shrimp with asparagus and prosciutto was very tasty.
The real specialty closed the evening, and it was beef cheeks.
Sweet table
Of course, this wedding was not complete without dessert either. It was pralines and an unforgettable cake.
