Weddings are a beautiful blend of love, tradition, and creativity. Behind each unforgettable celebration, there is a dedicated planner who brings visions to life. Meet Georgia, the mastermind behind Pompon Story Events, a wedding planning company that transforms dreams into elegant realities. With a background in engineering and an unyielding passion for design, she has redefined the Greek wedding landscape.
"I’m Georgia, a proud mother of two boys, wife, a fashion enthusiast, and a travel lover!" Having studied engineering and worked in that field for years, she never expected to find herself in the world of weddings. Yet, in 2016, she took a bold step and launched Pompon Story Events, transitioning from numbers and blueprints to floral arrangements and grand celebrations.
"The skills I developed in mathematics, construction, and project management have been invaluable in wedding planning," she shares. But the greatest lessons came from connecting with people from all walks of life. The evolution of Greek wedding planning between 2010 and 2020 inspired her to contribute her own unique vision to the industry.
For Georgia, wedding planning is more than just logistics—it’s an art form. "Certainly, the creative part and the same day of the event when we start to transform our moodboards into reality."
Her approach is rooted in innovation and breaking conventional boundaries. "Design is what drives us, so let’s step beyond our comfort zones!" Pompon Story Events specializes in creating extraordinary moments that reflect a couple’s unique personality and love story.
Pompon Story Events offers a well-rounded main package that covers every essential aspect of a wedding—venue selection, catering proposals, photography and videography, and much more. But Georgia knows that no two weddings are alike, which is why she provides additional services like pre-wedding parties, transportation, and accommodation to create a truly customized experience.
Every wedding has a story, but some leave an everlasting imprint. Georgia recalls her most memorable wedding: "The most unforgettable wedding I have ever organized was held at a stunning train station outside of Pelion, Greece, where we accommodated 250 guests seated at a table arrangement right on the railway tracks."
These unique experiences keep her passion alive and drive her to push the boundaries of wedding planning.
Bringing a couple’s vision to life requires a deep understanding of their story and aspirations. "First, we gather personal insights and inspiration from the couple. In my role, it is crucial to innovate continuously in wedding design while also meeting the couple’s wishes."
Through mood boards, style presentations, and collaborative discussions, Georgia and her team ensure that every detail aligns with the couple’s dream.
As a destination wedding planner, Pompon Story Events is not limited to specific locations. "As a destination wedding planner, my team and I are ready to handle weddings wherever our clients desire." From breathtaking island ceremonies to intimate mountain escapes, Georgia adapts her expertise to any setting.
Wedding planning comes with its fair share of surprises, but some challenges stand out more than others. Georgia recalls one of the most daunting moments in her career: "Certainly, we’ve had to navigate unexpected weather conditions. Once, just three days before an outdoor wedding celebration, we had to arrange coverage against rain for an area of nearly 1,750 square meters."
Despite the pressure, her resourcefulness and dedication ensured that the event went on seamlessly.
Budgeting is one of the most crucial aspects of wedding planning. Georgia offers practical advice: "It’s essential for every couple to establish a budget for their wedding ahead of time. This allows us to guide them to the perfect venues that align with both their financial plan and their vision."
From selecting the ideal date to refining décor elements, she helps couples achieve a stunning wedding within their means.
For couples in the midst of wedding planning, Georgia has one golden rule: "Stay calm and hire a wedding planner!"
And for those dreaming of a career in wedding planning? "Stay strong and creative!"
When asked about her dream wedding venue, Georgia finds it impossible to pick just one. "Greece boasts an incredible variety of landscapes, from majestic mountains to stunning coastlines, making it challenging to choose just one!"
With Pompon Story Events, every wedding becomes an artistic masterpiece, blending breathtaking aesthetics with heartfelt moments. Georgia’s journey is a testament to the beauty of following one’s passion and the magic that unfolds when creativity meets meticulous planning.
For couples dreaming of a wedding that tells their story in the most unforgettable way, Pompon Story Events is ready to bring their vision to life.
