Ella & Tamer's exceptional summer wedding  Written by: bride and groom

We were initially drawn to Switzerland because of the unfathomably beautiful scenery. However, we were quickly captivated by the unparalleled beauty and generosity of Switzerland's welcoming people. Being from California, we are surrounded by beautiful scenery but nothing could compare to the pureness and nature of Switzerland. We were met by kindness, respect, and a high quality of standards in every aspect. An undisturbed class that is hard to find in this day and age. These features are all qualities we embody and hoped to depict in our wedding celebration. We inadvertently came across Montreux and were enamored with its small town charm, warm hospitality, art, history and culture. We knew it was the right fit for us to celebrate our wedding with our family and friends. Switzerland had become a sacred place for us as a couple and we wanted to share it with all of our loved ones as the most beautiful love letter that could not possibly be written.

Each vendor we worked with was of the highest professionalism, pleasant, and eager to make our celebration exactly what we dreamt it to be. We had very specific requests, namely Middle Eastern vendors such as dancers, live band/musicians, and specialties Arab desserts. Each vendor was timely and high quality in every aspect. Even with a language barrier at times, they were accommodating and very transparent about costs and expectations. We could not have been more pleased or honored to work with each vendor.

It was incredible to see all the moving parts come together to create a seamless and stunning event tailored to us. Being surrounded by our happy loved ones, a loved place, and a loved wedding team was the pinnacle of our wedding. Our wedding planner, Gianna Grieco, proved to be more than just an incredible wedding planner – she was present in every step of our wedding day and the months leading up to it as family above all else. We are eternally grateful and blessed by the love, care, and genuine effort of our wedding team and Switzerland for always welcoming us with loving arms.
