Hey there, Instagram fam! I’m Mariliza, the face, the heart, and the slightly sleep-deprived brain behind Stefanotis Events.
If you’ve been here a while, you know I show up every beginning of the year, with a long, heartfelt post — a little tradition I created for myself.
This past year?
Some dreams I had whispered quietly to myself — the ones that felt a bit unrealistic — actually came true.
And guess what:
Unrealistic dreams are undefeated when you chase them with ridiculous determination.
But truth is… I don’t walk this journey alone.
One of the greatest privileges of my work — something that fills me with a pride I can hardly put into words — is my couples.
You have no idea how proud I am of the people I work with. Every single one of them.
Unique, charismatic, elegant, kind, generous, ethical and graceful.
Somewhere between countries, time zones, and continents… our energies find each other.
We meet and somehow it always feels like destiny. I truly, deeply love them.
And yes — I can confidently, loudly, unapologetically say:
I work with the best people this world has to offer. People who inspire me, move me, challenge me, uplift me, and remind me why I do what I do.
✨That’s what keeps this journey exciting for me.
That’s what pushes me to evolve as a wedding planner, an artist, a business owner, and a human.
Honestly, if I ever stop dreaming, or stop having a “next impossible thing” to reach for… I think I’d stop recognizing myself.
Because I owe it to myself and to my couples — to stay inspired, curious, slightly wild, and fully committed to magic.
Every season brings new love stories, new challenges, new creative risks, and new reasons to say: “okay, what’s next?”
And that’s the energy I’m taking into 2026.
More dreaming. More daring. More beauty. And a whole lot more love.
To my couples: thank you for choosing me, trusting me, loving me, and allowing me to love you back in my own way — through my work, my care, and my artistry.
To my collaborators: thank you for your talent and the laughter that keeps us sane.
To everyone here: thank you for cheering, supporting, and believing.
✨ 2026 — let’s reach higher, dream louder, and surprise ourselves again! ✨
