Our agency will handle all the details involved in organizing a wedding in Georgia.

We will also assist in gathering the required documents.

The church ceremony is available for couples of any nationality or citizenship with all necessary documents: baptism certificates of the bride and groom, passports, and a marriage certificate (if the relationship was legally registered beforehand). During the Orthodox wedding, witnesses must be present. They can be friends of the bride and groom or their godparents. Don’t forget the wedding rings.

If you are interested in a wedding in a Catholic church in Georgia, a similar list of documents is required. The only difference is the need to provide a certificate confirming the confirmation of the bride and groom.

Choosing the perfect wedding location in Georgia

All regions of the country have beautiful historical temples, monasteries, and churches where you can have a ceremony in the Georgian Orthodox tradition.

In some locations, the sacrament is held both indoors and outdoors near church walls. When choosing a location, consider accessibility and accommodation options for guests. It is advisable to check with the priest in advance if photography is allowed inside the church. Our specialists will handle all organizational matters.

Atmospheric weddings in Tbilisi churches

The capital has several large churches available for weddings of foreign couples. For a large ceremony, the majestic Tsminda Sameba Cathedral, located on a hill above the city, is suitable. Part of the hill is occupied by the ancient Mamadaviti Church (St. David), which exudes a spirit of harmony and tranquility. Celebrating your wedding under its arches allows you to feel true unity of souls.
The cliffside Metekhi Church offers breathtaking views of the old town streets. A small, cozy, and romantic ceremony can be held in the modest Anchiskhati Church.

Ancient Mtskheta — symbol of spirituality and blessing

Here, in the open-air museum city, Christianity originated long ago. The ancient Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, home to the Robe of Christ, is protected by UNESCO. A wedding in this cathedral is a sacrament infused with an atmosphere of purity and holiness. Another historical landmark is the Jvari Monastery, which inspired Lermontov’s “Mtsyri.” If you want your love to last forever, your couple should get married here.

Kakheti: romance of vineyards and mountain churches

The stunning landscapes of this wine-growing region complement ancient churches, creating a wonderful backdrop for romantic ceremonies. The oldest church in Kakheti is Alaverdi Cathedral (6th century), part of the Alaverdi Monastery. Its majestic simplicity, combined with the cozy atmosphere created by lush vineyards, makes the ceremony unique.

A special atmosphere of holiness permeates all locations within the Bodbe Monastery, where Saint Nino, the Christian enlightener of Georgia, rests.
