Wedding in Croatia

Look no further than having your wedding in Croatia if you are searching for a truly unique and stunning wedding destination.

If you are planning on getting married abroad and would like my hot tip for the best kept wedding destination secret, then it has to be Croatia.

Croatia may not be a country that immediately springs to mind when looking for the perfect wedding destination abroad but once you learn more about this truly beautiful European country I am sure it will make your destination short list.





Lonely planet, the travel book publisher has just named Croatia the “world’s hottest travel destination”. They state that the country’s appeal is its unique combination of culture, history, cuisine, accessibility and affordability. In my mind this makes for a perfect wedding destination abroad.

Croatia has been heralded as the “Next Riviera” and with its stunning beaches and islands it is an affordable alternative to the pricier Mediterranean. With fairytale Medieval cities, warm friendly locals, magnificent food and in the words of Lonely Planet a country that “has not yet been over-touristed, but has developed an excellent tourism infrastructure that suits both adventurous travellers and those who need a degree of comfort in their planning”, guests who are invited to a wedding in Croatia will be thanking their lucky stars!

Real Experiences! Here’s why other couples chose to have their wedding in Croatia. We had always imagined that our wedding would be overseas and for a long time thought we'd marry in Italy however that was before we visited Croatia! Croatia, and especially Dubrovnik, is like nowhere else - with its preserved medieval walls, crystal clear water and fantastic views, it offers so much more than your traditional wedding destination. Dubrovnik is a wonderfully enchanting city, it captivated both of us the moment we entered its ancient walls and I am confident that our special day will be something that our guests will remember for the rest of their lives. Rosslyn & David, Ireland Why we choose to have our wedding in Croatia. Because...Croatia is a beautiful country, with amazing scenery and coastlines. A wedding in Dubrovnik seems like pure romance, and that's what we hope to experience. Kathryn & Martin Brendan, United Kingdom / Ireland My Fiancé and I chose to have our wedding in Dubrovnik because it is the Pearl of the Adriatic and unique in every possible way. (The fact that my Mother is originally from Croatia made our decision even more ideal). The walled city is acclaimed world wide for its tremendous character and romantic charm. It is very accessible for guests to travel to and a charming place for them to visit. The whole experience is very romantic and a great way to build excitement amongst guests and wedding couple alike. It is a reasonably priced option for those wanting a magical wedding backdrop!
