governed by the ancient civilisations for thousands of years. This ancient capital of
the medieval Croatian kingdom now proudly stands reminding the visitors of its
triumphant past. Biograd can be easily accessed by sea, from highway or by plane,
which makes it an excellent starting point for an adventure called Croatia. In one
of four national parks situated in its vicinity everyone can find a piece of Adriatic
heaven for himself. The town invites you to discover the history and tradition of the
whole region extending from city of Zadar all the way to Dubrovnik. Explore the

A Boat Wedding

EVENT SHIP NADA

Throughout the world there are three heart-shaped islands, but only one of them,
Galešnjak, never changes its shape. Seasons and whether conditions may change,
but Galešnjak preserves its stability symbolising thus the eternal and never
changing love. A legend says that the love of a couple who makes a full circle around
the island will live eternally… What more could you wish for?

Our boat Nada (Hope in English) will take you on a remarkable journey towards the
most beautiful sunset in the world. Live the Adriatic adventure! We’ve helped many
couples make their perfect wedding story come true, it is up to you now to choose
yours…

With every mile further, Nada reveals the pure Mediterranean magic. You’ll discover
the pearls of nature such as amazing Kornati archipelago – a dream wedding venue
in a vibrant setting. Its charm lies in the perfect fusion of the tamed sea and its
tumultuous past, the evidence of which still stands in the heart of the national park
in a form of a small, fascinating chapel dating from the 15th century.
I you decide to head south, you’ll reach the ancient town of Šibenik, a home of

If you head north of Biograd along the coast, we’ll share with you a story of Zadar - a
story of a city whose streets have been crowded with people for the last 3000 years;
a city in which each layer of soil speaks of its own part of the history; a city in which
ancient history meets modern art: early Christian churches and Pre-Romanesque
St. Donatus’ Cathedral are just minutes away from a unique modern installation
Sun Salutation and the mystical sounds played by the sea on the Sea Organ - a
colourful and acoustic setting for a romantic wedding…

A Heritage Wedding

RAŽNJEVIĆ ESTATE

Settled in a fertile hinterland, Ražnjević estate is a place predominated by both

history and modern luxury, combining the two into a true oasis surrounded by the
karst landscape of Dalmatia. Every stone of this marvellous venue has a medieval
legend and will take you back all the way to 1307 and its beginnings. A region once
ruled by the knights and a region of rich and tumultuous history, a region that
resisted for centuries but kept preserved its traditional values is a well-suited venue
to walk down the aisle. No matter where you decide to exchange your wedding vows
- in a medieval fortress under a five-hundred-years old mulberry tree, in a charming
tavern dating from the 16th century or on a vintage estate or even if you choose a
vineyard or olive grove wedding, one thing is sure: there is no doubt your story will
become a part of this region.
A three thousand years old wine-making tradition and an exquisite local
gastronomy combine in harmony a history and tradition, Mediterranean simplicity
and modern luxury, an ancient Ottoman East and Christian West – an invitation to a
rhapsody of taste.
