Our Story

We’re Oriana and Julia-Maria - actors turned filmmakers turned wedding planners.
We’ll probably never forget the moment we first met back in 2014 at drama school in London. It felt a little like love at first sight. Since then, our paths have crossed countless times, leading us to become the creative duo we are today: producing short films and commercials, writing scripts together, and immersing ourselves in the world of filmmaking.

Over the years, we’ve developed a deep love for storytelling, a sharp eye for detail, and a strong sense of organisation, all of which we now bring into the world of wedding planning.

Our backgrounds in acting, directing, and producing have taught us how to create emotional, visually rich experiences, and that’s exactly what we aim to craft for every couple we work with. Every wedding tells its own unique story, and we’re here to bring that story to life, thoughtfully, beautifully, and with heart.
With an artistic sensibility and a love for bold choices, we’re committed to making your wedding day as unforgettable as your story deserves.

Our Story

As a duo.

we are oriana and julia-maria - filmmakers and founders of momentfest.

Our roots are in film. It’s where we learned how to shape narratives, build dramaturgy and execute complex productions with clarity and structure. This mindset informs every wedding we design today.

We work as a true creative partnership.
Concept, design, budget and flow, everything is developed together. Every idea is refined, every decision questioned until it feels right.Our strength lies not in rigid role division, but in collaboration.
Two creative perspectives. Two strategic minds. One clear signature.

The result: weddings that feel atmospheric and intentional and are executed with structural precision.

Momentfest stands for design with substance.

"I believe spaces can make us feel something - long before the first guest arrives."

I've always been drawn to places with character. Architecture, light, and the stories that exist between the lines. Perhaps that comes from my background in film, where I learned that atmosphere is never accidental, it is created through countless thoughtful decisions.

That's exactly why I love weddings. They bring together design and emotion while demanding the highest level of precision. I love working closely with our couples to shape a vision and watch it come to life, one thoughtful decision at a time.

To me, an extraordinary wedding doesn't begin with flowers or colour palettes.

It begins with a feeling.

"The strongest concepts are created when every detail follows the same idea."

I'm drawn to clarity, not because it feels minimal, but because it creates space for atmosphere to unfold.

I find inspiration in architecture, interior design, fashion and travel. Often, it's the smallest details: a combination of materials, the way light moves through a space or the texture of a fabric, that give a place its character.

With every wedding, I look for that connecting thread.

A concept that feels calm, timeless and completely effortless.

Because to me, that's where true elegance lies.
