Ljubi And Massimo — IDO Events

Meet Ljubi and Massimo, a Munich-based couple whose love story began in a quaint ice cream shop and grew into a partnership rooted in shared values and an appreciation for elegance. With ties to Croatia and Naples, their wedding was a heartfelt celebration of culture, family, and style, all set against the picturesque backdrop of Italy’s Lake Garda.

A Grand Welcome At Gardone

The weekend began with a welcome party on the terrace of the Grand Hotel Gardone, a place that evokes the timeless charm of the Grand Hotel era. Guests, dressed in soft pastels, enjoyed Italian delicacies while Ljubi and Massimo made a glamorous entrance on a restored Riva boat, arriving to the lively tune of "L’Americano" by The Gypsy Queens. This event set a warm, joyful tone for the weekend ahead.

A Dream Venue

Choosing the right venue was crucial. After considering several grand locations across Italy, Ljubi and Massimo were captivated by the charm of La Torre di San Marco on Lake Garda. Its stunning outdoor spaces and proximity to the luxurious Villa Fiordaliso, where they stayed, made it an unbeatable choice. The ceremony was held at the nearby Parrocchia Di Maderno church, right by the lake, with the reception following in a fairy-tale setting under a canopy of lights by the water.

Starlit Celebrations

The wedding day was a flawless execution of elegance and joy. The color palette of white, ivory, cream, and soft peach, along with silver table accents, set a sophisticated tone. Highlights included a five-piece band, professional dancers, and a breathtaking fireworks display over the lake. A special highlight was Massimo’s serenade to Ljubi the night before the wedding, adding a personal touch to the festivities.

An Unforgettable Entrance

As the church ceremony concluded, the couple was welcomed with a lively celebration at the reception venue, complete with saxophone music, percussion, and dancers—just as they had imagined. The night continued at a private club, with dancing lasting into the early hours of the morning.

A Dream Realized

From our first connection on Instagram to the final dance, working with Ljubi and Massimo was a joy. Their vision of a multi-day celebration allowed us to create experiences that were both luxurious and deeply meaningful. The saxophone welcome after the ceremony was a standout moment, perfectly capturing the spirit of their special day.

This wedding was not just a union of two families but also a celebration of Italian culture and the timeless elegance of love.
