Whether an intimate soiree for ten, a paparazzi-proof celebrity wedding or a crucial corporate seminar, one factor remains the same regardless of scale. That is, the desire for everything to be absolutely perfect on the big day.
Enter Ibiza Management, led by Dutch founder Christina Van Ederen and driven by a passion for conceptualising and creating events in Ibiza. With all the right contacts, connections and collaborators, even the wildest wedding fantasy becomes reality - no request is too big, small or particular.
After impressing a high-end client with her meticulous organisational skills seven years ago, Christina was recruited to plan an ultra-VIP wedding in one month, from booking private jets and sourcing 17 locations to redecorating three hotel interiors. The bride and groom got hitched without a hitch and Christina discovered a newfound love.
‘Weddings have to be perfect – you don’t get a second chance,’ she says. Always on-call (yes, 24/7), Christina exudes calm, creativity, determination and honesty. With her insider’s insight into the workings of the island, Ibiza Management’s dedication is evident in the details.
Previous events - including the legendary Dirty Diamonds parties and a supermodel’s nuptials - inspire awe and amazement, from dazzling décor, five-star catering and eye-opening entertainment to spectacular locations.
2009 sees Christina join forces with wedding planning professionals Sonya Groot and Yvon Boekholt to create a new company, ibiza4events. Together, there is no sticky situation, dramatic demand or stressed out bride this multi-lingual dream team cannot handle.
In the pipeline for this year are insightful corporate sales seminars plus new projects focusing on television, film and commercial productions - and there is always the prospect of that dream wedding on the horizon. You never know - it could be yours…
