Guiding discerning couples through every detail of their celebration - transforming their vision into a flawlessly executed wedding celebration.
My name is Željana Udovičić Štambuk, and I am the founder and creative force behind Chic Croatia - a boutique wedding planner based in Croatia. Born and raised in Split, I have spent 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 planning 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 in Croatia 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.
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-kilometre Camino de Santiago, a pilgrimage to the Cathedral of Saint James in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. It is a journey that still calls me back. One day, I hope to walk another Camino. Someday.
