Hello and welcome. I believe that it would be polite to
introduce myself before starting posting anything else. My name is Yana, and
I’m a wedding and event planner in Santorini, Greece. I spend my days enjoying
the magnificent views that the island has to offer, going for walks with my two
dogs, reading books, knitting and doing other DIYs, and of course planning
weddings and events.
A lot of people ask me, why did I become a wedding planner?
To be honest, the answer to that question is simple and boring: I needed a job.
The real question I should be asked is why I remained a wedding planner, even
though the island offers a big variety of different carriers to follow, including
my dream job – being a horse riding instructor. Well, the answer to that
question is because being a wedding planner is an amazing job! I absolutely
fell in love with the whole process of planning a wedding!!
There are a lot of things that I love about this job. I have
the chance to meet so many amazing people, and it gives me great joy to know
that I can help them fulfill their dreams of a perfect wedding day. I love the
journey which begins from the very first email I receive from the couples, to
their “I do’s”. I get to be part of their new beginnings in life as a family,
share their tears of absolute happiness. Even though this job has a lot
stressful moments and comes with a great responsibility, the heartwarming
feeling I get just by knowing I made someone happy, makes every bad moment
worth the trouble.
And of course, there’s creativity! Let’s not forget about
that! With every wedding or event, I get to do something different, something
new! Thinking and preparing the decorations for a wedding is the best part of
the planning process. I get to experiment with different DIY’s, spend time
daydreaming and coming up with new ideas, learn a ton of new information on
various topics. The creative part makes this job even more exciting.
It was the moment I realized all the above, which made me
take the decision of becoming an independent wedding planner. This is how
“Cardoon Events” was born.
Through this blog, I will share with you all my thoughts and
my experiences on weddings and events, give advices to future brides and
grooms, and give you an insight to the life of a wedding planner. I plan to
post every Monday and Thursday. I’ll write about various topics that have to do
with weddings, marriage proposals, parties, and I will also share my thoughts
and experiences on Santorini, its restaurants and entertainment options.
