unique traditions and experiences at Lake Bled

One of Lake Bled’s cherished customs is ringing the bell in the Church of the Assumption on the island. The legend promises that a wish made while ringing the bell will come true, symbolizing joy and a bright future for the couple. This gesture is significant for many couples, especially those wishing to incorporate Chinese values of prosperity and auspicious beginnings.

Arriving at the island via a traditional pletna boat ride adds a touch of romance and intimacy. This quiet journey across the lake, surrounded by the breathtaking Alpine scenery, offers a memorable start to the ceremony.

For couples who want to honor traditional customs, I offer the option to incorporate a tea cup tradition into their wedding ceremony.

for animal lovers

As an animal lover fond of cats, I understand how meaningful pets can be to many of us, especially cats, who hold a special place in various Asian cultures. Cats symbolize luck, protection, and prosperity in many parts of Asia, making them an essential part of family and cultural heritage.

If you’d like, we can include subtle touches that honor your love for cats in the celebration, whether through personalized decor, symbols, or keepsakes. Cats bring a unique warmth and charm to any occasion, and I’m always delighted to incorporate these beloved animals into the wedding atmosphere. Let’s celebrate your special day in a way that honors your heritage and love for these beautiful animals. Or your cat can travel with you. I had cats, dogs, and even parrots at the wedding – animals are welcome.
