Winter the right moment to get married in Tbilisi

When it comes to choosing the perfect season for a wedding, winter often gets overlooked. However, in Tbilisi, this chilly season offers a unique charm that makes it an ideal backdrop for your special day. Here are a few reasons why winter is the right moment to tie the knot in this enchanting city.

Tbilisi transforms into a winter wonderland when the cold sets in. The cobblestone streets, historic architecture, and beautiful bridges take on a magical quality, especially if you’re lucky enough to witness a light dusting of snow. The twinkling lights and decorations around the city create a romantic ambiance that is hard to replicate in other seasons.

Winter weddings tend to be more intimate, as guests are more likely to commit to a smaller gathering. This allows for a cozy, close-knit atmosphere where you can truly connect with each person attending. Plus, fewer weddings are held during the winter months, which means more availability at your dream venue.

Tbilisi boasts a variety of stunning venues, from charming cafes to luxurious hotels. In winter, many places embrace the season with beautiful decorations and cozy interiors, perfect for an indoor ceremony.

Winter in Tbilisi brings with it a range of seasonal culinary delights. You can incorporate traditional Georgian dishes into your wedding menu, offering guests hearty and warming options that reflect the local culture. Pair it with some mulled wine or hot chacha, and you’ll have a feast that everyone will remember.

The winter landscape provides a breathtaking backdrop for wedding photos. Snow-capped hills, frosty trees, and the picturesque old town create stunning visuals that capture the essence of your day. At Phototbilisi.com you can take advantage of the soft winter light to create dreamy and romantic images.

Winter also brings a sense of festivity and joy. With Christmas and New Year celebrations, the entire city is filled with a warm spirit that can enhance your wedding celebration. You can incorporate seasonal themes and decorations, making your wedding feel even more special.

Planning a wedding in the winter months often means less competition for venues and vendors. You’ll likely find more flexibility in booking dates and services, making the planning process smoother and less stressful. Plus, you might snag some off-season discounts!

Winter in Tbilisi is more than just a cold season; it’s a time filled with warmth, love, and beauty. If you’re dreaming of a romantic and intimate wedding, consider embracing the magic of winter in this stunning city. With its unique charm and festive spirit, Tbilisi in winter just might be the perfect place to say “I do.”

As you can understand, its is not difficult to get married in Tbilisi but it is absolutely better to be guided from a professional service to not have the issues in transliteration, embassy informations, acts and bureaucracy could create troubles for your residency in a foreign country or in a place where you are going to leave.

The best Basic way to get married in Tbilisi

You cannot believe all the issues could happen during a wedding procedure abroad. The Wedding in Tbilisi is very sensible act related bureaucracy and it should be kept with all the attention. It does not mean to spread money if you are not interested in a ceremony. As I already wrote about “Simple” wedding in Tbilisi, hold in the public hall, I advise to follow a “Basic” safe step for your date, even if you wish just “sign and go” marriage path.

What is mentioned in Tbilisi as “Basicwedding is the best way to get a hassle free service, stress free and with high save of money, despect to the fact the word “Simple” could make you think.



What is the difference between Simple and Basic wedding in Tbilisi?

The Basic Wedding I usually offer to my guest is including the professional assistance, the documents ready in advance, a confirmed time to apply for wedding, a private wedding room to execute the civil rite, the civil rite (or just the sign if you prefer) hassle-free procedure after wedding to release the international documents and of course my photography service that you will treasure for years to come.



All this procedure, so called Basic, just cost few money more. A very ridiculous money difference against a high lost of time, unsafe queue in public hall and no warranty in the right document release.

Comparing the procedure for the Simple service, in the Basic package you will have an official attendant of the Ministry of Interior following your application, inserting your data, checking careful your request and everything while you are comfortable waiting sitting down in a clean, safe, private lounge.

In the Simple service, you will queue up behind other people till your number will come. You will meet just an operator in a public office that have many different bureaucracy procedure to follow before and after you. In the Basic service your attendant is just specialist for the wedding and knows in a deep way what to do related weddings, expecially for foreigners applications.



In the Simple service, after application you have to go away and to waite for sms to confirm your application is valid. The sms can come anytime during the day and sometimes do not come or come the day after (including issues in your telephone, sim card or whatever). In the Basic service you will have a fixed time after application for your civil rite, even straight after application if you do not wish any ceremony you can get married.

In the Simple service your civil rite does not exist, you just sign in while people is queuing up to your desk. In the basic service you can have a private lounge for the civil rite. That is nice even you wish just to sign or to have a romantic short ceremony and a couple of photos together. Absolutely great if you have some guests to you as it gives elegance without to loose money.



Actually, I provide for basic package to everybody asking my help or my photography service in Tbilisi. This pandemia time has been a proof how much the privacy, safety and cleanness are important to manage a perfect stress free, smooth, easy procedure for your wedding in Tbilisi.

Ask for a Basic service, email me.

How to get married in Tbilisi Georgia

Best wishes! If you’re on this webpage, it’s true—love has no borders!

I’m thrilled for you because I got married in Tbilisi too! I’m a professional photographer and wedding planner, and I’ve been living in Georgia for 10 years. My wife, after years of a diplomatic career, now handles the marriage organization. We speak English, Italian, Georgian, Russian, Greek, Spanish, and Portuguese fluently.

Which better help and wedding  planner can you find in Tbilisi?

We can organize your marriage in Georgia, internationally recognized, in few working days!

In just a minimum stay of a few working days, you’ll get married and leave Tbilisi with your wedding paperwork. If needed, we can also send the paperwork to your home by express courier, ensuring no one leaves without their much-dreamed-of marriage certificate!

I recommend reading the entire post to get all the general information, but if you’re only looking for this month’s special offer…

Have you decided on your wedding date?
Would you prefer a civil ceremony, a religious rite, or perhaps both?
Have you been married before?
Did you check if you need a visa to enter Georgia? Please make sure you have all the necessary information, as I can handle your wedding management or photography services, but visa issues are beyond my control.

Does the lady wish to take her husband’s surname? No problem—she can do so easily in Tbilisi!
If neither of you is a Georgian citizen, expatriate, or resident, have you checked if your country or embassy requires the paperwork to have apostille or legalization seals for later marriage registration? You can find information about Apostille and Legalization seals at this link.

Are you expatriates in a third country (e.g., UAE, Qatar, RSA, Bahrain) and wish to register the marriage there?
These are the key questions you should consider to optimize your time when you email us.

In any case, getting married to a Georgian citizen is relatively simple. However, as with any legal matter, there are some bureaucratic procedures to legalize your marriage status in Georgia and in your home country.



If neither of you are Georgian citizens, our assistance can be invaluable in avoiding mistakes in translations and procedures before, during, and after the wedding. We help save time, prevent issues, and ensure everything is stress-free.

If you want to get married without spending too much time in Tbilisi, a civil ceremony is likely the best option for you. The religious rite of the Apostolic Autocephalous Orthodox Georgian Church requires baptism, which may not be something you’re considering, especially if neither of you are Georgian. However, nothing is impossible, and we can assist with that too if you wish.

Georgians often perform both rituals on the same day to avoid any legal misunderstandings between church and civil law. On this page, we discuss what’s needed for a civil ceremony.

It’s important to know that Georgia imposes no restrictions on people of different religions or nationalities getting married. You can apply for marriage in Tbilisi regardless of your faith.

Is there any offer or wedding package could we avail?
Our “Easy Wedding Package” is perfect for those who don’t want to worry about any details. All you need to do is arrive in Tbilisi, and everything will be ready for you. Check out our latest wedding offer by clicking here.

We will handle all the official documents needed to apply for your wedding, guide you through the civil rite, and take care of the paperwork required to register your marriage in your home country afterward. In just 3-4 working days, you can enjoy a wonderful time, including tours to explore the beauty of Tbilisi and surrounding areas such as Mtskheta, Jvari, Uplistsikhe, Kazbegi, David Gareja, Sighnaghi, and Alaverdi.

Only have a 2-day stay? No problem—we’ll send your official paperwork via express mail courier (DHL, FedEx, UPS, or other).

Tbilisi will be the nest of your love.

A lot of extras as photography service, limousine, guided tours, guest assistance, bouquet, wedding dress rental, make up  can be provided at your request.

” Marriage for foreigners in Tbilisi (different Nationalities) will be a problem to be registered? “

By the way, sure, you can get married even in the beautiful smalltown of Sighnaghi, have a look to this page
Than you can choose Batumi but it is far away from the capital and we do not use to provide for services during winter season over there.

In this extremely rare situation, we will send you the documents by UPS, DHL, TNT express mail courier in your country, so no problem at all.

The service of dhl helps to save money in stayng, accomodation and related expences . You can have just 2 days stayng in Tbilisi, getting the basic cheap procedure and you will get your document by dhl at home in 1 week time. That is why it is very important to have a look to the flights shedules maybe you could book.
Can you provide everything, I mean a full wedding planner program?”
Yes We can, expecially if you have a short stayng, bouquet, rings, wedding dress (you can even only rent it), make up, coiffeur, restaurants and simple or exclusive venues and of course photo service will be not a issue for you if you apply in advance. We are specialized in small groups of guest management but if you apply on time, no matter to manage any event.
