Anastasia & Nikolai

Anastasia and Nikolai wanted a small wedding in Georgia with their closest people and a lot of mountain around them. They booked the whole of Glamping Tago for 7 August 2025: 24 guests, one ceremony outside, and dinner under our big sailcloth tent. It was their first time organising an event like this, and they told us so. That made our job clear: think of every detail before they had to.

The brief

After a first meeting with Nikolai we wrote one shared wedding brief. It had the guest list, the menu, the table plan, the drinks and a timeline for the day. Anastasia's mother Julia did the decor, and their host Dmitry ran the ceremony and the evening program. We matched our timings to Dmitry's plan minute by minute, and when the two plans did not line up, we got everyone on one call and fixed it before the day.

How the day ran

• The day before: our team put up the 9.7 by 15 metre sailcloth event tent on its own deck, hung fairy lights, built the bar and tested the sound. The couple came to look and wrote to us that it looked perfect.
• Morning: the kitchen started cooking while the last guests of the night before checked out.
• Early afternoon: six guest tables were fully set under the tent before the ceremony, so nothing would clatter during the vows.
• 4:45 pm: guests arrived to homemade lemonade, got their tents and had a tour of the glamping.
• 5 pm: the ceremony on the meadow, led by their host, with the valley behind the arch.
• After the vows: photos, then canapés and sparkling wine in the yurt while our team got the tent ready for dinner.
• 6:30 pm: dinner under the tent, then the first dance, games, the bouquet, the cake and toasts from the guests.
• Late: coffee, tea and dancing. After midnight the party moved inside the yurt restaurant.

Behind the scenes

There are few flowers around Tago in August, so our team built the wedding arch from greenery we found on the mountain and dressed it with flowers. We laid a carpet aisle, put benches on the grass, set lanterns on both sides of the arch and ran power and sound out to the meadow.

We planned the day twice. In good weather the ceremony was on the meadow; if it rained, everything would move under the tent, which stood ready the day before. In the end the sky stayed clear.

The kitchen made about 90 canapés for the reception, from spinach and feta tartlets to eggplant rolls with walnut, then a Euro-Georgian buffet with a barbecue, a roasted tomato and red pepper soup the bride chose, and a dessert table with fruit. Georgian wines and honey chacha were on the tables. Their cake, big and wide, waited in our fridge until it was time.

The moment

The day after, Julia wrote to us that the day turned out wonderful, and listed what she noticed: the arch, the flowers, the tables, the food and the lemonade. A week later Anastasia wrote that everything turned out magical, just the way they had dreamed of.
