Wedding Places In Croatia
Croatian wedding venues and locations are endlessly diverse. It would be a futile attempt to try and list them all, so we’ll talk about the ones that have a special place in our hearts, with a focus on Dalmatian coast. We’ll start at the very south and work our way up north, so don’t take a low position of a location as a measure of its worth!
– Dubrovnik Old Town
1. DUBROVNIK
Dubrovnik is the pearl among Croatian wedding locations, but saying you’re getting married in Dubrovnik is like saying you’re getting married in Europe. Dubrovnik may be small, but it’s so diverse and filled with potential wedding venues that we’ll just have to write a separate article to do it justice. Still, for completeness’s sake, let’s give you a sneak peek of how a wedding in Dubrovnik might look.
The contest may be tight, but Dubrovnik is home to probably the most popular Croatian wedding venues. Its iconic stone city walls are seductive and brimming with inviting terraces, mysterious alleys, ornate and beautifully preserved churches and shiny stone streets, polished by centuries and generations of citizens and visitors, including one of the most recognizable of all – Stradun, the main street of Old Town.
If you’re looking for a religious ceremony venue, you’re in luck as there are at least 6 churches just inside the Old Town. They’re all stunning, ancient, beautifully preserved — and most importantly, still living and breathing!
– Church of St. Ignatius on top of Jezuiti stairs
For civil ceremonies you’re even more flexible because the officiant will agree to go pretty much anywhere. You’re free to pick the viewpoint of park Orsula that overlooks all of Dubrovnik, or go lower and say your “I do’s” on the terrace of Grand Villa Argentina that is so close to the city walls of Old Town you’ll almost think you can grasp them.
– Grand Villa Argentina: the green terrace (above), seaside terrace (below)
Or maybe you’d prefer a completely private ceremony on the green terrace of Grand Villa Argentina instead? The lawn is kept flawless even in summer months, there are palm and pine trees providing shade and you can just make out the sea behind all the vegetation.
– Sunset beach Lapad
Sunset beach of Uvala Lapad is another excellent choice, situated in a somewhat more peaceful part of the town, with its green lawn under olive trees for the ceremony and the all-glass reception venue with sea view towards the west.
– Sponza palace
If you want a piece of history on your wedding day, consider the Sponza Palace. Built in a mixture of Gothic and Renaissance style in early 16th century, it used to be the official coin mint of Dubrovnik Republic. It’s an impressive towering stone structure with multiple floors ornamented with stone arches and pillars with an atrium in the middle of it. It’s in the heart of the Old Town and simply breathtaking.
– Prijeko Palace and the Stara Loza restaurant
Prefer a modern take on art history? Then Prijeko Palace may be perfect for you. It’s a renovated luxury house squeezed among the orange tiled roofs of the Old Town which on its three floors houses more modern art than any other place in Dubrovnik. It will definitely make for some really interesting conversations over fine-dining experience of Stara Loza restaurant and an amazing rooftop view of Old Town.
