If you are dreaming of a wedding worthy of a princess or simply love the old-world charm and elegance, a castle wedding might be the right choice for you. Romania offers many medieval castles that can hold weddings, some of them even offer beautifully restored accommodation rooms. Fabulous dining rooms, stunning terraces and breathtaking views come with the deal, usually at a fraction of the price that you would pay for a chateaux wedding in France.
2. Manors
Venue: @conaculserghiescu
Indulge in the aristocratic atmosphere of a traditional manor that perfectly intertwines the old and the new. Besides the authentic stories that lie behind these beautiful estates, you will also find historical furniture, traditional rugs, and many other elements, mixed with stylish accommodation and noble gastronomy.
3. Chalets, Lodges & Wedding Barns
Venue: @hadarchalet
Romanians love to keep up with the trends, so you will find plenty of “westernized” wedding venues, surrounded by the beautiful, green landscape that Romania is so famous for. These comfortable luxury venues are usually set either deep in the woods or by the lakeside, harmoniously blending in with nature and creating an intimate dialogue, just perfect for an elopement or small wedding. You’ll get exclusive use of the venue, so you can spend quality time with your guests.
4. Traditional Houses
Venue: @cloasterfhaus
If you want to bet ALL IN on Balkan authenticity and immerse yourself into the real traditional culture and gastronomy, Romania will welcome you with entire villages of traditional houses, decorated with elements of folklore. The food is just as you would expect, rich in local ingredients and made after century-old recipes.
5. Beach Huts & Villas
Venue: @vilapontica
If you are a sea lover, you can also opt for a wedding by the beach! Romania offers beautiful sandy beaches by the Black Sea and chic, modern accommodation with private pools. You might want to opt for the beginning or end of the season, May or September. This time of year the weather is still nice and you can enjoy lazy beach days without loads of tourists. Beach huts and villas are the best choice and come with the exclusivity of the venue.
