ABOUT USEST. 2016

Hanna Experience is a creative production agency founded in Belgrade in 2016 by Dejan Nikolic and Vuk Vukicevic, originally under the name Hanna Production. Built on years of hands-on experience in stage design, technical management, and large-scale event production, the agency quickly became a trusted name behind some of the region's biggest live events. In 2023, under the leadership of Dejan Nikolic, the agency transitioned into Hanna Experience — reflecting a broader mission: not only to produce events, but to craft immersive, emotion-driven experiences. With a base in Belgrade and an office in Palma de Mallorca, Hanna Experience continues to combine creativity, precision, and international expertise.

"Where creativity meets structure, and emotion becomes production."

ALONE WE CAN DO SO LITTLE, TOGETHER WE CAN DO SO MUCH.
