Mocna Weddings: A Coffee Chat With Wiktoria Wielińska, Poznań’s Queen of “I Do”

Yo Poznan!

We met up with Wiktoria Wielińska, founder of Mocna Weddings and one of Poznań’s premier wedding planners, at our local Starbucks — you know, the place where they never spell your name right. Perfect setting to spill some behind-the-scenes wedding tea.

Hi. Let’s start simple. When was your first wedding job?
About six years ago. I had no idea what I was getting into, but I loved the chaos instantly. Now it’s basically my natural habitat.

Weirdest request you’ve ever had?
“No alcohol.” Yep. A wedding. With zero booze. You should’ve seen the guests’ faces when they realized the bar was serving apple juice on the rocks. I mean, respect the choice — but try getting Aunt Basia to hit the dance floor without at least two shots of vodka in her system.

What’s it like working with parents of the couple?
Hahaha. Imagine people who still think you can rent a venue, hire a DJ, and feed 150 people for the same price as in 1992. They’ll be like: “But we paid 2,000 zł for our whole wedding!” And I’m like: “Yes, sir, and bread cost 50 groszy too.”

Which wedding trend should be buried ASAP?
Polish games like Krzeselka (musical chairs). Look, I love tradition, but watching 40-year-olds dive for folding chairs in suits after champagne? Let’s just say… we can do better.

Any “lost ring” horror stories?
Not really. That’s because I always tell the groom: “Your one job is to hand the ring to your best friend. That’s it. Nothing else. Don’t touch the cake. Don’t check the playlist. Just guard the ring like your life depends on it.” Works like a charm.

Stress level of wedding planning, 1–10?
A solid 9. Sometimes a 10. My job is basically “making the impossible look effortless while everyone is crying and panicking around me.”

Are your couples still married?
Hahaha, yes! At least the ones I know of. I keep in touch with most of them — no divorces on my record yet. Mocna Weddings: guaranteed durability.

What’s the #1 thing couples forget to budget for?
If you bring your own alcohol to a venue, you still have to pay tax to the restaurant for it. And music royalties — ZAIKS (kind of like the Polish Spotify police for live events). Forget those, and your budget will get wrecked.

Favorite part of a wedding day?
Right after the first dance. That’s when everyone exhales, grabs a drink, and the real party starts. You can actually feel the shift.

What should couples never DIY?
Decoration. Pinterest makes it look easy. Reality? Hot glue guns, crooked tablecloths, and tears. Just… hire a pro.

Advice for couples on a tighter budget?
Priority list. Do you want killer food? Invest there. Do you want epic photos? Save for that. Don’t blow it all on things people forget after 5 minutes.

Micro-weddings & elopements — still a thing?
Totally. It’s not about numbers, it’s about vibe. Sometimes 20 people dancing like crazy beats 200 guests checking their phones.

Trend for 2025?
Champagne towers are back — but bigger. And pyrotechnics. Because why just kiss when you can kiss with fireworks going off behind you like it’s the finale of Tomorrowland?

What will your wedding look like?
Hahaha, I haven’t planned it yet… but picture this: Tuscany. First night, family dinner under the stars. Day two, big wedding in a vineyard with tents and fairy lights. Day three, pool party. Basically: Netflix should buy the rights.

How do you vet vendors?
Depends on the couple and the vibe they want. But yeah, I’ve got my favorites — the reliable ones who don’t ghost me on rehearsal day.

How far in advance do you need to book venues in Poznań?
1–2 years, easy. Especially if you want a specific date like 08.08 or 09.09.

What do you do when couples bring you Pinterest fantasies?
I’m honest. That’s why they hire me. I’ll say: “Yes, that looks amazing… in California with a \$200k budget. Let’s tweak it for Poznań without bankrupting your parents.”

Bigger budget = better wedding?
Nope. Energy makes the wedding. You can spend a fortune and still have a boring night if people don’t vibe.

Be honest — ever got drunk at a wedding?
Hahaha, only after. You can’t be running around with a checklist in one hand and a vodka shot in the other. But when my job’s done — I’ll hit the dance floor too.

Hardest part of being a wedding planner?
Emotions. Everyone’s stressed, everyone’s crying. You’ve gotta stay calm and not take anything personally, even if someone yells because their cousin didn’t get a vegan appetizer.

Do you know when it’s going to be a wild party?
For sure. I can tell the moment guests walk in. If the first 10 minutes are quiet and stiff — uh oh. But if someone’s already holding a drink before the soup comes? Legendary night ahead.

The big question: how much for a wedding planner?
It depends, but let’s say packages start around 6,000 PLN. You’re not just paying for me — you’re paying for less stress, fewer mistakes, and the chance to actually enjoy your own wedding.

Final question… will you have a wedding planner?
Hahaha! Nah. I’ll plan my own. But I’ll definitely hire an assistant to deal with my family while I sip prosecco and “direct.”

For those looking to tie the knot but don’t know where to start, call Wiktoria for a consultation:
