    What do you need to know to get married in Vazisubani Estate?

    The couple reached out to us in January with a clear request: they wanted a wedding in June. Six months for planning — sounds great, right? But if you’re even slightly familiar with the Georgian wedding season, you know that summer dates at top venues are snatched up in a heartbeat. Some locations are booked a year in advance — especially the kind you fall in love with at first sight.

    We sat down with the couple to understand their vision: more than 40 guests, some flying in from the U.S., which meant on-site accommodation was a must. The atmosphere? Not just beautiful, but romantic enough to give you goosebumps — like something out of a Disney fairytale. And then everything clicked: bingo — we needed Vazisubani Estate. A historic winery, vineyards, sunset terraces, and most importantly, charming rooms right on the property.

    Was it easy to secure this venue at the height of the season? Let’s just say — it was a challenge, but we found the solution. And the couple got exactly the location they had dreamed of.

    If you’re also dreaming of a wedding at Vazisubani, here’s what you need to know: time is truly golden. The sooner you start planning, the higher your chances of celebrating your day in the place you truly want. As for everything else — we know how to make it flawless.

    A multicultural wedding: how we handle complex challenges

    From the moment we met this incredible couple, it was clear — their wedding had to be something truly special. The groom, an American Jew, and the bride, Russian, wanted their celebration to reflect not just their backgrounds, but the deep meaning behind their cultures. It wasn’t about a simple nod to tradition — they wanted those traditions to be woven into every moment of the day.

    One of the key elements was organizing a chuppah ceremony — a symbol of their union. But it wasn’t meant to be just a formality. It had to be a heartfelt, emotional moment led by a close friend of the groom. We made sure the chuppah’s design and atmosphere felt warm and genuine, so that every guest could feel the significance of that moment.

    The couple entrusted us with coordinating the entire day — from musical arrangements to welcoming guests with a traditional Russian bread-and-salt ceremony. Our Georgian master of ceremonies kept the day flowing smoothly and at just the right rhythm. We brought together a team of makeup artists, coordinators, and performers — each one fully in sync with the overall vision.

    The result was exactly what the couple had hoped for: not a “cultural mix,” but a true bridge between cultures — sincere, beautiful, and full of meaning.

    When everything feels effortless — it means everything was done perfectly

    The atmosphere of a wedding begins with the smallest details — with how a guest feels the moment they step onto the venue grounds. With how the music plays as they wander past the vineyards. With a glass of wine served at just the right time. None of it is magic — it’s the result of meticulous planning and attention to detail.

    The day before the wedding, during the traditional American pre-dinner at the Marani, we set the tone with a Georgian-style feast: warm lighting, fragrant dishes, music, and heartfelt toasts. Everything was arranged to help guests feel at ease and soak in the uniqueness of the moment. The ceremony rehearsal followed the same spirit — relaxed, joyful, and flawlessly structured.

    On the wedding day itself, every minute was supported by a dedicated team. Stylists and makeup artists began before sunrise, coordinators managed guest logistics, and technical staff oversaw sound, lighting, and timing. We kept an eye on everything — from the temperature of the wine to the exact moment the ceremony began.

    That level of coordination is what allows a wedding to feel light, alive, and completely natural — exactly what the couple had envisioned.
