High Emotion Weddings

     

What can I say about Irene and Mihai except that they are the DREAM planning team.

Our brief was not usual or straightforward - a very “unweddingy” wedding, bridesmaids wearing colourful suits, can we have black and white? It’s all about the party, schnitzel for mains, dancing between courses, party tunes post ceremony, can we dance outside until 4am, thousands of confetti poppers at a Viennese castle (they’re not the most laid back bunch), würstlstand for midnight snack etc etc - and we had 2x Covid cancellations and planning from San Francisco and London in between. Irene and Mihai took it all in their stride and brought our vision to life without blinking (at least that we saw!). It was the most magical day of our lives and exactly what we wanted.

Irene’s attention to detail and organization is next to none. I thought I was über organised but she really beats me by a mile! She thought of every single detail - the ones I had thought of and about 500x more - making my life so much easier. She is honest in her views and able to advise properly, which I appreciated. She also knows how to select the best team of vendors to work with (and there are always options for varying budgets). She goes above and beyond to fulfill requests, even when they are new to her or different to what others would do. I’m still not sure how she sourced our custom würstlstand sign! She is incredibly acknowledgable about everything and anything to do with weddings and all the bits around it.

Irene and team were also (unsurprisingly) incredible on the day. I didn’t have to even think about a single thing and was able to fully enjoy the day. No thinking about what is arriving when and where - dreamy!!

Having Irene and team on our planning team was the best decision we made. I would do it a hundred times over. I can’t recommend her and her team enough!

     

Words cannot express how thankful we are for Irene and team for their wonderful service at Highemotions Wedding. Every aspect of our experience with Irene was simply fanstastic, and it truly displays her professionalism, great work ethic, and excellent taste in aesthetics. We just had our wedding in September, 2022 in Vienna and it was everything we dreamt of and more. Our process started in 2020, but plans were derailed due to the pandemic. During that time, Irene kept in touch with us from time to time but only to check in to make sure us and our families were doing ok. It made us feel that she truly cared about us and we were not just her clients. When it was time to get down to planning in 2022, Irene was simply a superstar. She was able to provide us with so many valuable suggestions because of her wealth of knowledge and experience. She gave us choices and insights on the different topics, and made the navigation process as easy as possible. She was always organized, prepared and thorough. And when I say she is organized, I have never met someone as organized as her. Everything was presented to us very clearly, with references and hyperlinks for more information. We were always fully aware of what we needed to do and how far along we were in the process. And when it came to making decisions, she was always respectful of our opinions and considerate of our wishes and circumstances. She was never pushy about any subject matters and was always understanding, even though we were often tardy in our response times to emails and deadlines. When we encountered some major challenges, she thought ten steps ahead and presented us with the best options promptly and with our best interest in mind. In addition, she is well connected within the industry and has great relationships with many excellent photographers, videographers, florists, venues, etc. For example, we love our photographer, Nikol, and the work she has done for us. When we arrived in Vienna, she made us and all of our guests feel so welcome and excited for the celebration. On the actual wedding day, Irene and her husband Mihai were there for us every step of the way. They were attentive, thoughtful and painstakingly ensured that every single detail was in place and that every element went smoothly. We felt very well taken care of, and all we had to worry about was to have a great time. We had a blast at our wedding! Everything went on without a hinge, and our venue and all the decorations were simply breathtaking. Irene and her team at Highemotions Wedding truly made our dream wedding come true, and we are forever grateful.

     

High Emotion Weddings is an incredible resource for couples that creates a very personalized experience for your wedding. We were travelling from our home in Pennsylvania to Austria for our Elopement and thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of planning with Irene. She provided up-front information, detailed considerations, and seamless organization all while taking the time to learn about us as a couple and our vision for the wedding day. Communication was always considerate of the time zone differences and included email, planning platform, and video calls. A diverse variety of vendors were available to choose from with specific recommendations from Irene since she has dedicated the time to build professional relationships with high quality services. The wedding day went so smoothly and without any stress as Irene & Mihai have impeccable organization. It truly felt like we had a second family with us for support on the day and getting to know them personally was an extra joy. I cannot say enough about the quality and personalization of their services and whole heartedly recommend them for international wedding/elopement/proposal planning!

     

I can’t tell you how perfect our wedding day was thanks to Irene and her team! The entire process from our first zoom call to the last minutes of our wedding trip could not have been a smoother, easier process.

Her planning and execution were flawless. Design was stunning and just as I hoped.

It was such an easy way to plan a wedding in another country. She coordinated ALL the details to perfection. And she is such a delight to get to know and work with.

Truly thankful to High Emotion Weddings!

     

I am extremely grateful that we had High Emotions Weddings as our wedding planner.

Before we got in touch with High Emotions Wedding planners, we were seriously struggling with our wedding organization and it was affecting our ceremony dates and the celebration itself. Furthermore, I am Russian and my at-that-time-husband-to-be is Egyptian, and we both have been living in the UAE for the past 10 years - that was not making the process of preparing documents for the wedding in Austria any easier.

So, when we finally found High Emotions Weddings - Irene and Mihai literally saved our wedding! They knew exactly which loose ends we need to tie up! And most importantly - they did everything on time and in a very short timeframe, which I honestly thought was not possible to do.

Their complete understanding of document requirements and processes for legal marriage registration, level of professionalism, strict adherence to the deadlines, and prompt reaction to any issues - it all saved our wedding date. Moreover, their friendliness, politeness, understanding, and confidence helped to keep our nerves calm, which is a very important factor in any wedding planning!

They perfectly understood our vision of a dream wedding and all elements of it - and they managed to arrange everything from our list from A to Z (I still don't know how they managed to organize our wedding so perfectly and to get to know our preferences so well as we haven't met face-to-face in real life to discuss any wedding planning, all our meetings were only via Skype - but they knew exactly what we need!)

They managed all our venues - for legal marriage and religious marriage, and the venue for the dinner, venue for the photoshoot, photographer, flowers, transportation, cakes (even Russian traditional cake for the wedding!) - basically anything you need - these guys can do it - I believe this is a real superpower!

They also have a great online tool with all deadlines, very detailed budgets, themes, schedules, music playlists, names, contact details, which enables us to make everything transparent and to eliminate any surprise costs.

Furthermore, they were next to us all the time on our wedding day, which gave me a huge relief and confidence in this happy but also important and worrying day!

If anyone asks for a recommendation for a wedding planner in Austria - High Emotions Weddings is your perfect choice!

THANK YOU, IRENE AND MIHAI, FOR SAVING OUR WEDDING AND MAKING OUR DREAM WEDDING COME TRUE! WE WILL NEVER FORGET OUR WEDDING DAY AND WE WILL ALWAYS BE THANKFUL FOR EVERYTHING YOU DID FOR US.

Kindest Regards
