Shu All inclusive wedding in Georgia

Georgia has a fairly mild climate, so there are no major temperature changes as the seasons change. At any time of the year, you can feel quite comfortable, and we can easily find a location with stunning views for the ceremony or photo shoot.

If we talk about the traditional wedding season in Georgia, then, as in many countries, summer is considered the best time of year for weddings.

A sufficient amount of time to prepare is a guarantee that the wedding will go according to plan and minimize the possibility of any excesses or misunderstandings. Therefore, the earlier we start preparing, the better.

The optimal time to prepare for the celebration depends on its size, the number of guests, the popularity of the location, and the chosen season. That is, there are quite a few variables on this list. More specifically, we can name the following recommended terms:

• 6 months — it takes to organize a retreat wedding ceremony with guests in a picturesque and sought-after location.
• 2 months — it takes to prepare everything you need for a small wedding.
• 2 days — the optimal time to organize a wedding for two.

One of the rules of our all inclusive wedding agency is no templates. Every wedding concept we develop from scratch, focusing exclusively on the wishes of the couple, and their vision of how everything should be, and, of course, we are happy if they give us the opportunity to come up with something original and unusual for them.

We have a lot of ideas that can be realized at the wedding reception or after it. Some of the projects we have realized are:

• Master classes in Georgian cuisine (khinkali, churchkhela, khachapuri in Oajarski, etc.).
• Spiritual and health-improving practices (yoga, meditations, sadhu boards, etc.).
• Active recreation (water skiing, quad bikes, air, hiking tours, horseback riding, etc.).
• Entertainment (pool party, excursion to a winery and tasting of Georgian wines, costume party, master class, and show program of traditional Georgian dance, etc.).

Georgia provides a huge variety of options to make your wedding different from everyone else.

We perfectly understand that a all inclusive wedding abroad has its own nuances and the number of guests is one of them because not every guest can be sure in advance that he/she will be able to make such a trip.

You do not need to worry about this, because you can make changes to the list, even after the contract. Therefore, when discussing and planning the celebration, we always keep in mind that the final number of invitees may change even at the last moment.

You should know two things in advance: first — the organization of the wedding is a process consisting of many stages and second — even using the services of a wedding planner, you can not avoid participating in most of the processes of preparation. In order to plan everything correctly and the wedding goes according to plan, you need to take its planning seriously and systematically deal with everything that is necessary.

Six months is the minimum amount of time in which we recommend that couples contact us for a lavish wedding reception in a popular location with a beautiful view. This six-month time frame is necessary for a systematic preparation. Conventionally, all stages can be divided into the following time frame: Six months before the wedding.
