Being part of the same community, we would pass each other at Albanian events as teenagers, but did not connect until our late 20s, when Anton asked a mutual friend about me. Our first date was a dinner together, where Anton was an absolute gentlemen to me. Sparks flew, and we knew this was it for us. We got engaged a year later at Glenmere Mansion, where Anton had a private room decorated for us, along with a photographer, our siblings, and our parents.  It was magical. So magical that I asked him if it was real and if he was serious! LOL.

I had many milestone events at Greentree Country Club, including events for family members. Greentree always held a special place in my heart. Plus, it is so beautiful and the venue was able to hold all of our 600 guests! The cocktail hour was held outside overlooking the harbor, which was wonderful for our guests.  We were able to have my traditional morning wedding there, with 150 guests. We also had the traditional Albanian 2nd day of our wedding.

Kristina was the absolute best. She made me feel like a real-life princess, and catered to my every wish and need. She was my own personal event planner too. If I had an idea, she knew how to incorporate that, and then some.  Her professionalism, her relationships with other vendors, and her attention to detail, were amazing. I was so lucky to have her.

Krista made sure I was able to not think about anything else on my wedding day, and just enjoy everything and everybody! Without her, our day would not have been as perfect as it was. Our wedding actually surpassed our dreams and our vision!

We held our ceremony at the local Albanian Catholic Church. I wanted to thank Events by Yoly for surpassing my decor expectations.  Truly the most breathtaking. We held our cocktail hour in the backyard, overlooking the harbor.  We had every culinary cuisine you could think of. 

It was an open concept, blank canvas, for our 600 wedding guests

Happy to answer more questions – there was not enough room to put all of my thoughts and thanks to Greentree!!  Perfect venue, food was delicious.  Absolutely nothing more I could ever ask for, and cannot wait to have all my future events here!!

Thank you so much!!! We were blessed to be surrounded by so much love and amazing people – including the Greentree staff!  Anything further needed, please do not hesitate to reach out!
