3. Variety. Weddings can be organized in any style—from classic to boho, from vintage to ethnic Georgian.
4. Romance. Crystal-clear air, silence, birdsong, and the scent of grapes and lavender all create a deeply romantic atmosphere that heightens emotions.
5. Emotions. Guests are offered leisure activities and excursions with full immersion in the culture of the Caucasus.

Wedding Ceremony Formats at Lopota Lake

Wedding ceremonies at Lopota Lake are more than just celebrations—they are fairy tales where every moment turns into real magic for the couple and their guests. Upon request, European elegance can be seamlessly combined with the passionate Georgian spirit, without any limitations. Intimate ceremonies for two or grand celebrations for several hundred guests are equally possible. Each concept is carefully adapted to the couple’s desired atmosphere, because weddings here are not simply organized—they are staged like theatrical performances.

One of the most popular formats for a small wedding is the lakeside ceremony called “Mirror of the Soul.” Imagine the calm water, a sunset, an arch of fresh flowers, and two people in love. Another option is a wedding in a wine cellar—“The Secret of the Grape Night,” where the bride, groom, and guests are surrounded by cozy stone walls, candlelight, and the aroma of aged wine.

“Heart of the Caucasus” is a traditional Georgian wedding filled with songs, dances, heartfelt toasts, and a true tamada, where guests and newlyweds become part of a living celebration. For those seeking a touch of magic, “Light Among the Stars” is an enchanting choice: the celebration begins after sunset, illuminated by garlands, candles, soft lighting, and gentle music. The evening concludes with a fire show and the release of lanterns over the lake.
