Gudauri and Stepantsminda (Kazbegi) are two of Georgia’s most spectacular wedding destinations. Located high in the mountains (1,900–2,400 meters above sea level), these locations offer unparalleled views, cool summer breezes, and a fairytale-like winter atmosphere, attracting couples from around the world.
Exchange your vows atop one of the ridges at the Cross Pass with 360-degree panoramic views, near the Elia Monastery overlooking Mount Kazbek and Gergeti Trinity Church, or on one of the scenic terraces of local hotels.
Important Tips for Mountain Weddings
When to Plan Your Mountain Wedding
The nearest airport is Tbilisi, about 2.5 hours from Gudauri and 3.5 hours from Stepantsminda (Kazbegi). You can travel by minibus (approximately $8 one way) or book a private transfer, either independently or through our service.
July-August: Perfect for hosting outdoor ceremonies and dinners under the open sky. May-June: Ideal for intimate elopements or small weddings, with dinner in a cozy restaurant. The weather is mostly sunny, and the mountain peaks are still capped with snow.
Getting There
Even in summer, cloudy or rainy days may require couples and guests to bring warm outerwear. Comfortable shoes are also essential; thin heels may sink into soft ground during outdoor ceremonies. In winter, windproof clothing and thermal layers will ensure that your ceremony and photoshoot are comfortable and enjoyable for everyone.
