LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF

    Hi, I'm Natalie Kainz-Wrba

    Your partner for special moments – personal, reliable, and with a keen understanding of what truly matters.

    I guide you through every step of your planning – with calm, clarity and a loving eye for the details that make your day feel truly yours.

    Over ten years in international event management have taught me one thing above all: how to manage complex plans calmly – so your day feels relaxed, personal and effortless.

    To me, planning is more than organisation – it's trust. I keep an eye on the bigger picture, think ahead and give you the reassurance to enjoy every moment.

    My Path

    Experience, calm and an eye for what matters

    For more than ten years I have planned and led international events – today I bring that experience to wedding planning, with clear structure and a fine sense for the moments that matter.

    It all began in hospitality in Kitzbühel. There I learned how much weight small details carry – and how much they shape the way a moment feels.

    From there my path led me into the international event world – with projects across Europe and in Abu Dhabi at the Special Olympics World Games, EuroSkills and international motorsport events.

    Those years shape my work to this day: I think in processes, stay calm in complex situations, and make sure many individual pieces quietly fall into place.

    My professional foundation: a degree in Sports, Culture & Event Management, a marketing diploma and ongoing further education.

    I am well connected within the wedding and events industry in Styria – through wedding meet-ups, wedding planner dinners and ongoing exchange with many suppliers. That means I can recommend the right partners for different budgets and visions.

    A personal milestone

    From bride to bride

    In the summer of 2025 I was a bride myself. So I know first-hand how this journey feels – the anticipation, the many decisions and those moments when you simply wish someone could keep track of everything for you.

    That's exactly where I come in: I listen, translate your vision into a clear plan, and keep everything on track – from the very first thought to the very last moment.

    What you can expect from me

    Calm in the background.
    Lightness in the moment.

    I take on only a small number of weddings each year. So every celebration receives the attention and depth it deserves.

    I coordinate your venue, suppliers and timeline, always thinking one step ahead. What is complex in the background should feel light and natural to you.

    I create clarity, gently take decisions off your plate, and guide you calmly through the entire process.

    In short: You enjoy the moment. I take care of the rest.

    Based in Graz, Connected Worldwide

    Your local partner in Austria.

    I'm based in Graz, in the heart of Styria – one of Austria's most beautiful regions for weddings, from the rolling vineyards of Southern Styria to the charm of the city itself.

    With over ten years of international event experience across Europe and Abu Dhabi, I bring a global perspective paired with deep local knowledge – the ideal combination for international couples planning their celebration in Austria.

    Whether you're coming from abroad or simply looking for someone who understands both the big picture and the local landscape: I'm here as your trusted partner on the ground, guiding you every step of the way.

    The Name

    Why Willow

    My name is Natalie Kainz-Wrba. Wrba means Willow – and to me, this name stands for far more than just heritage.

    The roots represent structure: thoughtful planning, clarity in processes, and a stable foundation that holds even in complex situations.

    The crown represents the experience: a keen sense of atmosphere, high standards of service, and the many small details that determine how a moment feels.

    Together, they describe how I work: bringing structure and feeling into balance – for weddings that feel effortless and are harmonious in every detail.
