How a lakeside wedding ceremony takes place
A flat area is chosen for the wedding registration: a shore, pier, or beach. It is decorated according to the style and concept of the celebration. First, the official part of the ceremony is conducted by a state wedding registrar. The couple gives their consent to marry, signs the necessary documents, and then exchanges rings, receives the marriage certificate, accepts congratulations, and takes photos with the guests. After the official ceremony, everyone proceeds to a reception, banquet, wedding dinner, or picnic – according to the couple’s preference.
Permissions and organizational details
Certain locations are designated for official ceremonies with an on-site registrar. If your chosen location is not among them, a special permit will be required. Two witnesses must be present at the registration. If they are not Georgian citizens, their documents must be properly prepared, as must those of the bride and groom.
Foreign passports must be translated into Georgian and notarized. The resulting marriage certificate must be legalized through the consulate or apostilled.
Entrust our agency with the organization of your wedding, and we will handle all required bureaucratic procedures, provide witnesses if needed, and ensure the registrar comes to your chosen location to register your marriage.

Decor and Styling in the Lake Wedding Theme
The decoration of the venue is carried out according to the couple’s wishes. After agreeing on the concept, event style, and selecting the couple’s looks, the decorator creates a custom design layout. You can make any adjustments to it because this is your celebration. The beauty of the surrounding nature already provides a perfect backdrop for the ceremony. All that’s needed is to add flowers, candles, garlands, balloon arrangements—everything according to your taste. In the photo zone, you can place wine barrels, baskets, wicker furniture, blankets, pillows, and more.
Photoshoot by the Water: Ideas and Tips
Beautiful shots are captured when the bride and groom gaze at their reflections in the lake. The backdrop of mountains adds extra romance to the images. To get unique photos on the water, consider using a boat. For a more dramatic effect, plan the shoot at sunset or at night with lighting. The softest natural light occurs during sunrise and sunset.
Wedding Banquet with a Lake View
If you want a luxurious wedding with top-notch service, choose the Lopota Lake Resort & SPA. It features a large pier, several terraces, and halls with exquisite interiors. The cuisine includes both Georgian and European dishes, and the wines are supplied by the best wineries in Kakheti. At Kvareli Lake Resort, you can enjoy a calmer, more secluded atmosphere. The pier is designated for the ceremony, while the terraces offer panoramic views of the lake and mountains for the banquet. Modern restaurants provide dishes and wines to suit every taste.
