Wedding in Georgia
Georgia can be compared to a magical place from fairy tales or romantic movies. Here everything seems completely unreal and fantastically beautiful, the people are responsive and cheerful, and when you look up, you are sure to come across a mountain that takes your breath away or a building that evokes admiration.
That is why Georgia today is like a refreshing breath of air or water, because it is not yet so famous in many countries and has not become something banal, like the Maldives or Paris. And another plus that Georgia is just gaining popularity among wedding tourists is the low prices. And when we say “low”, we mean that a wedding in Georgia can cost many times less than where you live.
Where can you have a wedding in Georgia?
- Mountains.
- River bank (there are about 25 thousand rivers in Georgia, you’ll have plenty to choose from).
- Beach on the black sea.
- Forest.
- Castle.
- Chateau.
- Vineyard.
- Botanical garden.
- Church (Catholic and Orthodox).
You can choose your venue, including restaurant and hotel, in or around a major city like Batumi or Tbilisi, or you can go to a remote corner, a few hours away from the city and enjoy your privacy.
