Lovely to meet you!
My name is Željana Udovičić Štambuk, and I am the founder and creative force behind Chic Croatia. Born and raised in Split, I now reside on the beautiful island of Brač. With over 20 years of experience in the travel and events industry, I have had the privilege of organizing all types of events, from intimate celebrations to large-scale corporate events, tailor-made weddings, film festivals, and luxury travel programs.
My true passion lies in creating unforgettable experiences—from personalized destination weddings and exclusive lifestyle events to bespoke travel planning and expert wedding guidance throughout Croatia.
Over the years, I have planned, produced, and overseen hundreds of events, including destination weddings, governmental conferences, corporate incentives and lifestyle events. In addition to event planning, I have experience in PR, marketing, and social media, which I managed for several clients across various industries.
At Chic Croatia, my mission is to design and deliver weddings, events, and travel experiences that are a true reflection of each client’s personality and vision. Alongside my trusted team and long-standing vendor partners, I will craft your destination wedding in Croatia with heart, creativity, and attention to detail. No request is ever too big—or too small.
On a personal note, I’m a proud mother of two girls, a dedicated multitasker, a perfectionist by nature, and an avid reader. I’m endlessly inspired by the Mediterranean lifestyle and all its beauty.
In 2017, I walked the 800-kilometer Camino de Santiago pilgrimage to the Cathedral of Saint James in Santiago de Compostela, Spain—a journey that still calls me back. One day, I hope to walk another Camino. Someday.
