Real Weddings
Hannah & George
Hannah and George were married at the beautiful Sponza Palace in Dubrovnik's Old Town.
From there, we joined everyone aboard the boat cruise to Villa Ruža, where the singing started long before we reached the island.
Their drinks reception took place on the stunning garden terrace overlooking the Adriatic, before we surprised guests with our roaming set between the tables.
We finished the day with our Sunset Set as the evening light fell over the coastline—an unforgettable Dubrovnik wedding from start to finish.
Frankie & Levi
Frankie and Levi made a spectacular entrance as they stepped off the boat at Villa Ruža, where we welcomed them playing a special live request.
As guests enjoyed drinks and canapés on the beautiful terrace overlooking the Adriatic, we provided the soundtrack to a relaxed afternoon in the sunshine.
The celebrations then exploded during our roaming set, with Levi grabbing the microphone for an unforgettable singalong that had everyone joining in.
Ashleigh & Michael
Ashleigh and Michael chose the stunning Villa Ruža for their wedding ceremony, where we performed live as Ashleigh walked down the aisle and again as they were announced as husband and wife!
Their drinks reception followed on the terrace overlooking the clear blue sea, where we took requests and helped create a relaxed atmosphere against one of the most breathtaking backdrops in Croatia.
As daylight faded, we performed our signature Sunset Set before playing their first dance live as the sky transformed from brilliant blue to a stunning orange.
Nicole & Mike
Nicole and Mike's celebrations began the moment everyone stepped onto the jetty at Villa Ruža, where we welcomed the wedding party with a specially requested song as guests arrived on the island.
The music continued throughout their drinks reception, with the Adriatic providing an unforgettable backdrop as everyone relaxed, celebrated and soaked up the atmosphere.
As evening approached, our signature Sunset Set carried the celebrations into golden hour, with the sun slowly disappearing behind the mountains to bring a perfect end to an incredible day.
Our Experience of Villa Rose
One of the things we love most about Villa Ruža is the excitement as guests step off the boat onto the island.
We often welcome everyone with live music from the jetty, instantly creating an atmosphere that's personal, relaxed and unforgettable.
As you approach, the crystal-clear Adriatic, palm trees and beautiful stone steps leading up to the villa feel like something from a fairy tale.
The garden terrace is the perfect setting for live acoustic music, while the sunset over the Adriatic provides an incredible backdrop as the celebrations continue into the evening.
