The Georgian capital is one of the most comfortable cities for a wedding celebration. Here you can organize an event of any format and style. In Tbilisi, ancient history is closely intertwined with modernity, providing a multitude of locations for a unique wedding.
A Kaleidoscope of Impressions
The old and new parts of the city offer countless places that captivate with their beauty and mystery. The breathtaking silhouettes of modern architectural structures elegantly give way to old streets. Futuristic design projects like Vake Plaza, the National Bank building, and Meama stand alongside old estates and courtyards hidden in the shade of gardens. It’s easy to choose a venue for an original photo shoot, whether it’s “from the future” or “retro.” Numerous restaurants, cafes, and wine houses are ready to organize a banquet with national flair.
The official marriage registration procedure can be held at various marriage houses. The wedding hall on Mtatsminda Mountain, built of glass and wood, is ideal for an off-site ceremony. You can also arrange a romantic photo shoot in the park and book a banquet at the famous Funicular Restaurant. If the couple decides to have a church wedding in the capital, they must arrange it in advance with the administration of their chosen church.
Orthodox churches in Tbilisi for a wedding ceremony:
- Metekhi Church: A symbol of the city, built in the 13th century on the bank of the Mtkvari River.
Sioni Cathedral: An ancient structure from the 7th century, visible from all parts of the capital.
Anchiskhati Basilica: The oldest church still standing (6th century).
Holy Trinity Cathedral (Sameba): With a wonderful panoramic view of the city, it’s suitable for large ceremonies.
St. David’s Church: Located on Mtatsminda Mountain, near a healing spring.
Botanical Garden
This green oasis in the city center features diverse landscapes, exotic plants, and gorgeous flowerbeds. Here, your marriage ceremony will take place amidst the beauty of nature, peace, and harmony. An observation deck with a magnificent panorama of the city and a view of its heart—the ancient towers of the Narikala Fortress—is designated for the outdoor ceremony. This location is on the edge of the Fig Gorge.
Tbilisi Sea
This artificial reservoir, located near a national park, is delightful with its turquoise water surrounded by forested mountains. On the shore of the reservoir, you’ll find the ancient Ananuri Fortress and an active church. The coast is filled with hotels, yacht clubs, resorts, restaurants, and cafes. The sea is adjacent to the Tbilisi Dendropark. Here, you can arrange a perfect photo shoot with the water and lush relict vegetation—which you wouldn’t normally see in nature—as your backdrop.
Wine Houses and Estates
The art of winemaking is a hallmark of Georgia. In the capital and its surroundings, you’ll find interesting locations that are perfect for a wedding celebration. Just 25 km from the city is a 19th-century palace—the Château Mukhrani estate, where you can taste rare wines. The old building, gardens, and vineyards create a romantic atmosphere and unforgettable emotions. For a touching and tender ceremony, they provide a rose garden or an orangery.
The drive to the “Ori Marani” home winery, located in the village of Igoeti, is about an hour from the capital. Here, you can have an exclusive photo shoot in the wine cellars among oak barrels and the lush greenery of the grapevines. Your guests will be able to see how wine is made in qvevris, using ancient technology.
Venues for the Celebration
Tbilisi has many establishments with banquet halls, open, and glassed-in terraces. If you want to fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Georgia, choose a restaurant with an authentic interior and traditional cuisine.
Tsiskvili
This establishment is located on the bank of the Mtkvari River and is a true museum of Georgian life with a water mill and a funicular instead of an elevator. The ceremony can be held right on the restaurant’s grounds. The banquet will captivate guests with delicious dishes, a vibrant atmosphere, and an incredible entertainment program.
Orangery Garden Hotel
With its windows overlooking Vake Park, this restaurant feels more like a small garden. The immense number of flowers and plants remains constant throughout the year. You won’t need a florist to decorate the hall. In the summer, the wedding can be held in the garden. For a ceremony in even the coldest winter, the second-floor terrace is equipped with a retractable roof, panoramic windows, and heaters. In the center of the banquet hall is a hearth, providing a cozy and warm atmosphere. The cuisine includes European, Georgian, and seafood dishes.
