The Beach Wedding Builder (DIY)
The Beach Wedding Builder (DIY)
Important question for the couple who wants to DIY their beach wedding but who is already struggling to find vendors which know their way around a seaside event…
If there was a way to get all your wedding ducks in a row in one single afternoon spent together in front of your laptop… …a way to get step-by-step guidance on how to bring everything together - from your location & menus to your bridal bouquet… …would you finally feel confident to plan your wedding by yourselves?
Here’s Why
Anything Short of an Enthusiastic *Head Nod* Is Costing You Both Time & €€
Every day, credit-card-in-hand, couples like you are trying to turn a gathering of friends and family into the most remarkable experience they will have had so far together.
This has led to a multi-million dollar industry, which hasn’t gone unnoticed by:
- Restaurants
- Caterers
- Florists
- Musicians
- Photographers
…and many other product & service providers.


In Romania, in recent years, there has been a BOOM of wedding vendors of all kinds. Are they all specialized in beach weddings?
Able to anticipate seaside-specific situations or adapt to them if they come up?
Skilled at delivering a magical experience through weather changes, last minute planning adjustments and special bridal party requirements?
In our experience, not by far.
But how can you know which ones will live up to the hype?
Picture yourself…
…swimming in a high tide of vendor inquiries, in various stages of completion.
Some fit your picture-perfect wedding needs, hopes & wishes, some… not so much.
None have worked with one other until now and…
…many have never done a seaside event.
You’ve been at it for months and you still cannot find a beach location that does weddings, one that both has availability on your chosen date and fits your budget. One that can cater to your guests dietary needs and allows a candy bar. And can accommodate a band.
You just wanna slam your laptop closed, put your hands up in agony and give up.
But there’s so much left to book and arrange and organize and manage.
So, you take a few deep breaths and try to keep down the lump in your throat while you send another email.

Now imagine planning your wedding…
…with a guided tool, taking you step by step through all the vendors recommended by beach wedding planners with 13 years of experience.
Hey, that’s us!

From location…
… to type of ceremony…
… to photography & videography…
… to music & entertainment, aka animation, special effects, paintings, or temporary tattoo pop-up parlors…
… to all sorts of ‘treat’ bars be it coffee, shots, candy, or cheese…
… to decoration vendors…
… to makeup & grooming service providers …
… and more…
You get guided through this list in the same order that we walk our planning clients, getting essential information about each supplier or service provider.
Info like:
- Up-to-date budget ranges
- Pictures from past events
- Links to their websites
- Details from our personal experience with each of them
You get to know ahead of time when you pick a location if they offer the option of a feet-in-the-sand ceremony or only a sea view one.
You know if they charge extra for the ceremony space. You know if they accept ‘treat’ bars and what kind of menus they offer.
Sounds too good to be true?
For many couples planning their wedding it actually is, because of these…
3 mistakes
Across the years, we’ve had multiple couples come to us midway through their wedding planning process, distraught and overwhelmed, asking for help.
Things weren’t falling into place like they’d expected and many details were getting overlooked.
Burnout was on the horizon.
What led them to this point?

Trying to mix and match vendors who have no experience working together.
Wedding vendors need to work together seamlessly to ensure that everything runs smoothly on the big day.
When vendors are unfamiliar with each other, there may be a lack of coordination and communication, leading to miscommunication, delays, or confusion during crucial moments.
This can disrupt the flow of events and create unnecessary stress for you and your guests.
Additionally, different vendors have their own working styles, preferences, and approaches to their craft.
If they have never worked together before, they may have conflicting ideas, expectations, or methods of operation.
And you’ll be the one who has to mediate. How fun! 🥴
It is, of course, not impossible for vendors with no previous experience to collaborate successfully.
You can get close to this by choosing vendors who are used to your type of wedding.
Which takes us to the second point…
Booking vendors who have never done a beach wedding.
Beach weddings have unique logistical considerations that differ from weddings held in traditional indoor venues.
Vendors who have never worked at a beach wedding may be unfamiliar with the specific challenges and requirements associated with outdoor settings, such as dealing with sand, wind, tides, and potential weather-related issues.
This lack of experience can lead to difficulties in planning, setup, and execution, potentially affecting the overall success of your event.
But there’s one even more insidious threat to your wedding.
A myth that gets couples planning their wedding on their own feeling like they can’t wait for the whole process to end.
Believing that to DIY a wedding is an all or nothing process.
We know that not everyone has the budget for a wedding planning service.
But that doesn’t mean that you need to go to the ends of despair and back every day for many months in a row to get your dream wedding.
You don’t have to hire a full-service planner to get some help & direction in planning your wedding.
Yeah, we’ve just said that!
To help couples still on the fence and those who are already sure they wanna self-plan, we offer:
- a Beach Wedding Consultation to kick off your planning and
- a DIY planning tool to guide you through all the nitty-gritty.
And while we’re on the topic…

I had my dream wedding
“I had my dream wedding, my feet deep in the sand, thanks to Ramona and Andrea. It only took a few meetings for them to understand and then accomplish exactly what we wanted. A wonderful setting, gorgeous floral arrangements, everything thought out in detail. The girls from the Nunta la mare team are very discreet and full of common sense! They directed us to the best service providers (delicious cake, a photographer who took unique pictures, in tune with the wedding). For us, the Nunta la mare team managed to build a wonderful memory. We have a wedding that we will talk about for years to come! Thank you! You are wonderful!”
Everything was exactly as I dreamed!
Andreea: “Thank you so much for helping us live this wonderful story. Thanks for the gift too. Everything was exactly as I dreamed. Sending hugs.” Florin: “Thank you for your support and effort. We really liked everything. And the Priest was simply extraordinary, I'm going to call him and thank him once more.”
you earned our trust
“It was WONDERFUL!!! The communication during the event was perfect, you earned our trust and did not disappoint us, on the contrary! The bouquets, crowns, decorations overwhelmed us! Excellent recommended suppliers! Everything went smoothly, but most of all we were glad to have you with us! Thank you to the entire Nunta la mare team for a fairytale wedding, it was like a beautiful dream come true!”
... stood by us as friends, and always encouraged us
“When we think of our wedding, we think of Nunta la mare, because the wonderful dream we experienced would not have been possible without them. We have been living in London for many years and when we made the decision that the seaside at home is still close to our heart, we knew that the biggest problem would be to find someone who thinks and feels like us. After several phone calls to suppliers and event planners it seemed our dream scenario would be impossible and that things were done a certain way; there was no flexibility and that we would have to go with we disliked the least. We were very wrong and as soon as we finished our first meeting with Andreea and Ramona, we decided in unison that Nunta la mare is the team we need. Although they offer services to everyone's liking, with partial or full support, we knew that we would leave absolutely everything in their hands. It is known that planning a wedding is a huge effort; it comes with so much joy and excitement but also with worries and problems. Planning a wedding in another country when both partners have demanding jobs creates even more worries and problems. Since we are both stubborn creatures, we wanted to do everything on our own so that all our loved ones could be invited to our wedding, enjoy it, and be pleasantly surprised by what we have achieved. For us, this collaboration didn't just mean planning a wedding, it meant much more. We had their help and support throughout this adventure and they always made sure we enjoyed those unique moments at every step of the planning and left the worries and stress to them. They helped us agree and found common ground between our perspectives and blended them harmoniously. They calmed us down when our emotions overwhelmed us, stood by us as friends, and always encouraged us to do what we felt we wanted to do. Many times I had ideas that I didn't think we could ever put into practice, to which I always received the same answer: "Of course it's possible!" They worked with all the suppliers from start to finish, all we had to do was say what we wanted. We collaborated with beautiful, punctual, respectful and professional people. It's hard to choose suppliers when you don't have experience or don't know exactly what you want, and here as in all other moments, Nunta la mare was by our side to help us make these decisions. We wanted to have no stress, to enjoy every moment of our wedding; we didn’t want to have to worry when the long-awaited day begins whether everything is set up properly. We succeeded (even though I didn't think we would) with flying colors (I also said this in the wedding shoot as proof haha) because we had the best team. We have memories that we will cherish for a lifetime and we can only be grateful for everything you have done for us. We hope that life will somehow bring us together again, to plan another event with you. With gratitude, Dorina and Gabriel Oprea.”
Who am I to promise this step-by-step guidance, anyway?
Hi! I’m Ramona!
When I’m not enjoying some beach time with my husband, George and son Albert, or sipping on single origin coffee or margaritas, I launch 5-star wedding planning businesses. 😉
On a rainy October evening, all the way back in 2010, I was swirling around a glass of wine and the conviction that I want to create memorable moments of beauty & connection.
That moment turned into the foundation of
Nunta La Mare.
13 years down the line, what drives me to always give my all to each wedding planning project is a mix of the love shared by my clients, their appreciation for nature and the shared feeling of freedom that the sea instills within us.
During these 13 years, I have planned 300+ weddings, creating unique, immersive experiences for the bride, groom, their families & guests.
And if you allow me to, here’s how I plan on creating this for you, too…
