Pałac Goetz in Brzesko
Justyna and Dan live in Seattle, but they flew to Poland for their Pałac Goetz wedding. The palace in Brzesko was built in 1898–1900 by Jan Albin Goetz, owner of the nearby Okocim brewery, and today it is one of the most elegant wedding venues in southern Poland.
Neo-baroque interiors, crystal chandeliers, stucco ceilings and an atrium with a carved wooden staircase make every room look like a film set. The palace hosts receptions from 20 to 250 guests, and the ceremony can take place in the chapel or in the garden – no transfers needed.
Getting ready in the palace suites
Dan got ready with his brothers in a dark-wood suite, while Justyna and her friends used a suite overlooking the park. Everything happens in one place, so the film flows naturally from getting ready to the ceremony.
The black-and-white decor by Bedeko – white flowers on black tablecloths – created a look of minimalist elegance.
A chapel ceremony – and a second exit
The church ceremony took place in the palace chapel. When Dan first saw Justyna walking in with her dad, all he could say was “wow, wow”.
Then came one of the funniest moments of my career: the couple left the chapel before the final blessing. After an energetic exit they came back, finished the mass and walked out again – with exactly the same energy.
Review
Talent, vision and experience speak for themselves. He was incredibly kind, professional and easy to work with. We met him for the first time on the morning of our wedding and, without any direction from us, he captured our day in a way we never imagined.
