Because every good winter wonderland destination wedding starts with a wow welcome evening on top of the snowy mountains.
From Canada and The Netherlands to Tyrol, Austria – KARINA & STEFAN
Part 1. The Welcome Cocktail Evening
The best way to start a brilliant destination wedding? A brilliant welcome evening! Or maybe two.
Karina and Stefan opted for a welcome dinner with their closest family on the day of their arrival, the Thursday before the wedding. A very cosy outdoor apres-ski bar area at Mocking. Das Wirtshaus was beautifully decorated by Kunstgärtnerei Doll, again with fir trees, fairy lights, lanterns with candles, and pine cones. A short reception with roast chestnuts and hot winter cocktails was followed by an intimate dinner.
After a super successful kick-off of the wedding celebrations, the Friday evening brought a cocktail reception for all guests, up on the ski slopes, at a very hip mountain cabin – Ganslern Alm, with spectacular views over Kitzbühel. Fairy lights curtains as photo backdrop, horn players, roasting marshmallows by the fire and a traditional Austrian game (“Nagelstock” a.k.a. nail hammering challenge) were just a few of the highlights of the evening.
If I could do it all again, I wouldn’t change a thing! – we selected Irene and Mihai based on the fantastic reviews- and let me tell you they did NOT disappoint! They both arranged 3 parties for us. Rehearsal dinner, a cocktail party and the wedding. The attention to detail on everything was just totally worth it! My husband and I did actually very little throughout the processs- so we really had no idea how anything would turn out. Well. It was better then I could have imagined. Irene did a lot of the picking and choosing herself ( great taste!!) and everything was just so well taken care of. If you are looking for a wedding planner Irene is just amazing – listen to her advice too! I learned she is always right about everything!! Throughout the process Mihai and Irene were at the helm of the ship, and they just did a brilliant job. All of our guests were thrilled, and we had the most beautiful wedding. Like a fairytale! Thank you so much HIGH EMOTION WEDDINGS!!!!!
