About us
Who are we ?
Hi everyone, this is Sasha and Pasha – the founders of “Shu Wedding” Agency and we would like to tell you our story.If you think that we are business partners and that our agency is just a business, then you are deeply mistaken.
First and foremost, we are a husband and wife who are madly in love with each other, with Georgia, and, of course, with what we do.
Why did the idea for «Shu Wedding» arise?
In 2019, Sasha and I decided to get married, at that time we had already lived in Georgia for several years, but we were still citizens of another country. To be honest, we were naive and thought that since we had lived here for a while, we could easily organize the wedding of our dreams.
First of all, men have to understand me, brides go crazy during wedding planning. On Monday she wanted a wedding in the mountains, on Wednesday she wanted a lavish celebration at a restaurant in Tbilisi, and on Friday I found out that we were going to the beach, because «a wedding on the beach is the most romantic thing that can be.»
Secondly, finding a good photographer, makeup artist, and decorator, who will be free on the day you want and the cost of their services without causing a heart attack, turned out to be quite a task. And that’s to say nothing of finding a pastry chef and choosing a wedding cake.
Thirdly, when we were able to decide on the location where we would like to hold the wedding and gathered the entire wedding «team», it turned out that the location we needed was occupied for the next month. Yes, we hadn’t thought about booking the place in advance.
After that, we were forced to capitulate and turn to a wedding agency.
That’s when Sasha and I realized how hard it is to organize a wedding in Georgia when you’re a foreigner and got the idea to create our own wedding agency that would help couples not waste their time.
As for our wedding, it was great, but our agency would have done better!
How does the wedding agency «Shu Wedding» work?
