“Dennis and Daniela are both in the banking industry and met through work. They had known each other for years as colleagues. They both remember the day when they went out for a business lunch at Abe & Louie’s. During the lunch they started talking more about their families and personal interests, and both noticed how much they had in common. Slowly a genuine friendship blossomed, a friendship that eventually led to the amazing partnership you see today. Now… you might ask yourselves who gave the first kiss??? Here is the story: There was a time when Daniela was going through a difficult period due to a significant loss in her life. As her friend, Dennis became a huge support for her. One day he decided to surprise her with a day full of activities to bring up her spirits- the day started with lunch, then they went to an arcade, and after that they went to a local hookah bar where their first kiss happened. Dennis leaned over to Daniela and gave her a cute kiss. And the rest is history. D & D are now an unstoppable team. One year and 6 month later Dennis decided to proposed at the Grande Bretagne Roof Top Restaurant on the first day of their summer vacation (Dennis wanted to show Daniela the beauty of Greece). Dennis went down on one knee and asked Daniela to married her. Daniela couldn’t stop crying out of happiness, and of course gave Dennis the easiest answer, YES!”

“We both agreed on white flowers and a lot of them. We wanted an elegant wedding to match the elegance of Grande Bretagne. A friend of Dennis recommended the floral designer (Gkizeris Flowers) and we felt in love with all their ideas. The Hotel recommended the photographer (Mindart) and we wanted to ensure we really like their work since wedding photography was extremely important for us.”

“We met Sotiris and Olga the photographers from Mindart, for an engagement photoshoot in September 2021 and we absolutely loved them and their work. They were fun and the photos they took were stunning. They knew how to capture our perfect moments. Mindart was the one recommending the DJ (VIParties). Another vendor that we absolutely loved. They understood exactly what music we wanted coming from two different backgrounds (Dennis being Greek and I being Venezuelan)”.

“Leaving church knowing the most important part of the wedding was successfully completed and all we needed to do now was partying and enjoy our family and friends was our best moment of the day”.

“My wedding dress was picked by my niece, Prescilla. I had a very different dress style in mind, but she asked me to please try this specific dress. I put it on out of courtesy for her not knowing it was going to be the dress of my dreams”.

Bride’s advice: “Take your time and to extensive research on your vendors. Once you get them, make sure they understand your style so their work reflects you and your groom”.
