A casual yet energetic wedding in Transylvania

Another wedding in Transylvania, in the town of Satu Mare, that is very dear to us is the one of Ramona and Raul. Besides the fun party on the music of XXL Band, the wedding was also a history tour of the surroundings. This also was very fit for the couple’s personality, as they are both travel enthusiasts and love to explore new places. Therefore, the filming contains moments from both the Karolyi castle and the roman-catholic Calvaria church. The passion for travelling was also evident in the decorations of the party held at Esedra restaurant’s, Monte Carlo room. For example, we enjoyed a lot the photo collage placed on top of the candy bar, as well as the caricatures of the bride and groom holding direction signs on the wedding cake.

In addition, Ramona and Raul have moved to Denmark, and so the guests were from both Transylvania and basically all other corners of Europe. Although the number of guests was not big, the party was very exciting. There was a lot of dancing on the music of the excellent cover band XXL, and everybody enjoyed themselves, so almost endless opportunities to capture amazing shots for the wedding video. It was a wedding day on a late September Sunday, and the preparations were done simply, with the help of friends, at Hotel Poesis. The religious ceremony was held at Calvaria, 5 minutes walking distance from the hotel. The church, recently renovated, is considered an emblem of the neolithic style; currently, the church also serves a German parish.

Filming & photo shooting at the Karolyi castle

After the ceremony, we planned together with our photographer friend Tiberiu Görbe a photo shooting at the Karolyi castle, during which we could also do a little videography work.

The castle is located is in Carei, a city 35 km away. The castle, built in a baroque style and recently refurbished, is one of the most visited places in the county, surrounded by secrets and legends. One legend claims that prince Rakoczi rode off on his horse during wartime through a mysterious, impressive 5 km tunnel. Another legend tells how the castle’s cellars host huge treasures confiscated and stored by the Nazis. So it’s a lovely sport for doing creative shots for a wedding in Transylvania. During the photo shooting, we only chose to wander through the garden that is home to diverse species of plants and trees, as well as explore the interior exhibiting furniture from the XVIII century.

Filming at one of the most modern venues in Satu Mare

What we really enjoyed in filming at Sonia’s and Tamas’ wedding was it’s really classy atmosphere. Nevertheless, it set the tone for a really fun and lively night. The couple held the event in Satu Mare, in one of the newest and most modern wedding venues in the area: Simfonia Ballroom at the Esedra restaurant. It was a beautiful day in the beginning of october, warm with clear skies, giving a summer feeling and enhancing the cheerful mood.

Touching first look in the church

The bride and groom prepared locally, at their respective places. Then, the two met at the church, where the religious ceremony commenced. It was a beautiful moment, everybody being clearly very touched throughout it. The bride had a red rose bouquet, which in combination with the dress made for great captures for us and for Virag Botond, the photographer.

The party started with a very elegantly performed dance by the couple. It was catchy and soon afterwards all the guests were enjoying themselves on the music played by the XXL band, one of the best cover bands in the region. They also travel to other regions like we do for videography, getting regular requests and in addition, they are renowed for the unique atmosphere they create and the lively interpretation they offer. The excellent cocktail bar was very praised and supported the fun atmosphere. It was indeed a very successful party where everybody had a a lot of fun.
