Tamila comes from Uzbekistan and Heyme from the Netherlands. Both have been living in Prague for several years now – a city that has become their second home. Their journey together began with music: Tami, a singer with great talent and an even bigger heart, was looking for a bandmate. From a working relationship, friendship was born, from friendship, love – and from love, a dream of a wedding, which we had the honor of turning into reality.



How did it all start?


When we first met Tami and Heym, they were desperate about their wedding preparations. They couldn't get through the Czech authorities, and because they didn't have the documents from Uzbekistan, they couldn't even book a date for the registry office. So we planned the entire wedding for over a month without a fixed date - but we still knew we could do it.

We took everything into our own hands: daily communication with the authorities, negotiations, obtaining the necessary documents. It was challenging, because we only had a little over two months for the entire wedding. But it is precisely in moments like these that we show that even the impossible can become reality.



Dream about a wedding on a boat


Our bride Tamila, who goes by the name Tamila Sparrow , is a huge fan of Pirates of the Caribbean . Her dream was to have a wedding on a ship with an arrival at the altar as grand as Captain Jack Sparrow's in Port Royal.

Together we chose the boat that would "call" them for their big day. The winner was the iconic Agnes de Bohemia , which hosted their dream celebration on the Vltava River.



The magic of details



Since both newlyweds are vegan, 100% vegan catering was a big priority for them . We created a varied menu where every guest could find something they loved.


The pirate atmosphere carried through the entire wedding, but elegantly and with feeling. Flags on the canapés, floral decorations inspired by the sea (hydrangeas with amaranth resembling seaweed) – small details that added personality and flair.



D-Day


On the wedding day, we started everything at the Savoy Hotel in Prague, where the bride was prepared by a make-up artist and a photographer captured the beautiful moments. From the hotel, we arranged transportation to Chlumec nad Cidlinou, where an intimate but very emotional official ceremony with a translator took place.

The ceremony was followed by a photoshoot in the castle gardens and then a return to Prague, where a boat was waiting for the bride and groom. The bride arrived on a small boat to the accompaniment of music from Pirates of the Caribbean and the guests welcomed her with enthusiasm. As Tami and Heyme read their vows at sunset, not a single eye was left dry.




A celebration full of emotions and joy


After the ceremony, the guests enjoyed a festive feast, followed by the first dance of the newlyweds in a magical mist, which we prepared as a surprise. Heyme then surprised the bride by singing her favorite song. The touching moments alternated with joy and laughter as everyone immersed themselves in the dance and music.

The whole day was unique – just like Tami and Heyme.



Voices from the deck: how did the captains of the day enjoy their big day?


Sára helped us organize our wedding in just a few months, as we were a bit in a hurry. I’m still amazed by how much patience, dedication, and above all, passion she puts into her work. You really have to love what you do to pull it off so perfectly – I can’t even imagine planning it all by myself. On top of that, Sára was always incredibly kind, approachable, and ready to help with everything, especially the formal details. She is our angel who created the wedding of our dreams on a boat, where we had absolutely nothing to worry about and could just enjoy the day exactly the way we wanted. I would vouch for her with my life!
