Munaluchi Presents – Muna Serenade -Munaluchi Bride

Video by Yamean Studios

To Serenade is to entertain one’s love by display of talent in hope of winning their deepest affections. In our journey to inspire love, MunaLuchi has created Muna Serenade: A Curated Couples’ Date, to present the opportunity for engaged couples to experience the serenading together in an unforgettable date night experience. Produced by members of the Coterie – MunaLuchi’s curated collective of elite wedding vendors, selected couples are provided with a photoshoot, videoshoot, fine dining, and more.

Muna Serenade (formerly known as the Culinary Experience) is back for 2018 and promises to be even bigger and better than last year!

We are in search of engaged couples for a special date night this February to April. If you and your significant other love to eat, mingle, meet other engaged couples and are comfortable being in front of the camera, then you may be who we’re looking for. Selected couples will be invited to participate in a daylong shoot in one of the cities listed below for a feature article to run on Munaluchibridal.com. At the shoot, you’ll enjoy a customized culinary experience, a chance to chat with some of our talented wedding professionals + more.

*Travel is covered by the individual couples unless stated otherwise. Once you agree to participate in the Muna Serenade we need your full commitment for the photo shoot date and time. Participating couples must agree to allow for their images to be used on Munaluchibridal.com, on video, and in any advertising materials associated with the feature.
