Finding the right partner that makes your heart skip a beat must be easier than selecting a wedding destination out of many wonderful ones that Europe has to offer. The best place for a wedding might vary for every couple according to their preferences. Some might like a glamorous wedding in the city of love – Paris, while others might want to go for a more historic and country-side rustic vibe. The Good news is that Europe has something amazing for everyone. If you ask me, I have two favorites, Tuscany and Greece. 

2. Cheapest Place in Europe to Get Married

Europe is home to a few destinations that offer all the fancy perks of picturesque locations and a  classic romantic atmosphere, but without a head-spinning cost for the same. The ones that top my list are Santorini, Greece, and Dubrovnik, Croatia.Important note: Please know that you can still host a wedding in your budget at your dream destination by working with the right vendors and involving a wedding planner that will cater to your needs accordingly. 

3. What are the most expensive wedding venues in Europe?

Europe is synonyms to sophistication, romance, and luxury. Saying the vows with the love of your life is certainly the #mostmeroableday of your life.

4. How to Plan a European Wedding?

Europe is most preferred for destination weddings by people from all over the world. However romantic and magical hosting a wedding in Europe is, planning a picture-perfect wedding might be a little daunting. Following are some tips you can plan a destination wedding in Europe like a breeze.

  • Check the weather:

IF you choose to get married in the southern part of Europe then you must watch out. The European weather can be quite unpredictable, it can get very hot and also very rainy at the same time. 

  • Plan the wedding well in advance:

Wedding venues in Europe are often booked in advance, it’s always advisable to choose the wedding destination and venue and book it at the earliest to get the destination wedding venue of your choice. 

  • Hire a Wedding Planner:

Organizing everything on your own for a destination wedding sitting in a foreign land might cost a dent in your pocket. It is always advisable to hire a local wedding planner to make your dream destination wedding stress-free and cost-effective. 

  • Visit the wedding venue yourself:

It is always advisable to visit the potential venues for your destination wedding venues in Europe with your wedding planner. The pictures that you might see on the internet might vary in person and also it is important to double-check the hospitality of the venue. 

  • Travel ahead of your guests:

Always a good idea to be uber prepared. Right? I suggest traveling a minimum of a week in advance to meet your wedding planner and vendors and sort out the last-minute details. As a destination wedding photographer and videographer, I prefer to travel at least one or two days in advance to study the wedding venue and plan the shoot well in advance for the best results.
