How to Elope in Georgia (the Country) in 2026: Venues, Costs and the Outdoor Registrar

← Back to the blog

Updated 9 November 2026·31 min read·Prices and facts checked: November 2026

Two foreigners can marry in Georgia (the country) in a day: registration is free on weekdays, a registrar comes to your venue for 255 GEL, and agency elopements start at about $850 in 2026. Here is where to say the vows, the Adjara photo spots, what it costs and which small venues you can book whole.

Eloping in Georgia (the country in the Caucasus) takes one working morning: two passports, proof of legal entry and two adult witnesses at a Public Service Hall, and you can sign the same evening. The counter registration is free, a registrar who comes out to your own venue costs 255 GEL, and in 2026 agency packages for a couple start at about $850, with mountain elopements at $1,800 to $3,355.

Glamping Tago is a boutique glamping venue in Tago village, Khulo, in the mountains of Adjara, about 2 hours by car from Batumi. It is the right choice for a micro wedding of about 30 guests who want the whole place to themselves for a weekend, with everyone sleeping on site and the registrar on the meadow. A couple on their own books a tent and marries at the camp or at one of the photo spots on the road up from Batumi.

This guide covers the three ways couples do it, the rules that agency pages get wrong, what each option costs in 2026, the best photo spots in the Adjara mountains and the small venues you can actually have to yourselves. For every document and the apostille rules country by country, read our full guide on how to get married in Georgia as a foreigner.

A legal elopement is a civil registration by the Public Service Development Agency plus whatever ceremony you want around it. There is no residency requirement and no waiting period in the law, so couples fly in, file and sign within a day or two (Legal.ge).

There are three ways to do it:

• Sign at the registry, celebrate somewhere else. Register at a Public Service Hall on a weekday (free at the counter, 75 GEL with a short ceremony in a Justice House branch), then hold a symbolic ceremony at Gergeti, by a lake or on a mountain meadow. The cheapest and most flexible way.
• Bring the registrar to you. A registrar comes to your venue for 255 GEL and the marriage is legally binding on the spot. The ceremony is the real one, not a re-enactment.
• Hold a micro wedding weekend. 10 to 30 guests, two or three nights in one place, the registrar on site and a long dinner. This is where the venue choice matters most, because most hotels do not give a small group the whole place.

Georgia registered 10,006 marriages in the first half of 2026, 1,144 of them in Adjara (Georgia Today).

For a couple alone, any registry office and a good photo spot will do. For a small wedding with guests, the questions that decide it are whether you get the place to yourselves and whether everyone sleeps under one roof.

Glamping Tago (our venue), Adjara

• Where: Village Tago, Khulo municipality, in the mountains of Adjara, at 1,200 m. About 92 km and 2 hours from Batumi, 87.4 km from Batumi airport; the climb up from Khulo is a 4x4 road.
• Capacity: made for weddings of about 30 guests and retreats of up to 30 people; the whole place belongs to one group. 33 sleep on site in 12 Lotus Belle tents and a nine-bed dormitory dome.
• Price from (2026): the whole camp costs 3,258 GEL a night in April, 3,711 GEL in May, 5,041 GEL in June and September, 6,035 GEL in July and August and 3,646 GEL in October, food and extras on top (organiser page).
• Season: the camp is open from 1 April to the end of October, and the whole camp can be booked for a wedding in every month of that season.

We take one wedding at a time: you book the whole camp, and it closes to other guests for your weekend. In 2025 and 2026 we hosted weddings of 17, 24, 27, 35 and 38 guests, which is the size the place is best at. Our guests' reviews talk about the view first, and many call the place romantic. The registrar comes up to the camp for the 255 GEL state fee, the ceremony is on the meadow facing the mountains, and the 150 m² event tent on its deck takes the dinner, or the ceremony when it rains.

Meals are cooked in Yurtalicious, the yurt restaurant on site: a Mountain Supra dinner at 85 GEL a guest, a Euro-Georgian buffet at 125 GEL or the Signature menu at 215 GEL (from 30 guests). The kitchen is vegetarian; meat comes from the BBQ live station at 45 GEL a guest. Your own wine or spirits cost 15 GEL a bottle in corkage. The handmade arch is 1,500 GEL, a bouquet 150 to 600 GEL, a local photographer from 800 GEL for the full day, and hair and make-up for the bride 400 GEL including the trip from Batumi. The evening sauna is included for everyone staying. Music stays outside until midnight, then the party moves into the yurt.

Just the two of you? The whole-camp booking is for weddings with guests. A couple on their own books a regular tent (today's prices), an agency files the registrar application, and we give you the ceremony spot and help coordinate on the day. Most guests book a stay one to two weeks ahead; the registrar application is what needs the longer lead time.

You file a joint application at a Public Service Hall (the Justice House) with your passports, proof of legal entry and two witnesses, and you sign the same day or at the date and place you chose. Yes, a registrar comes to almost any venue in Georgia for 255 GEL under Decree No. 373, and that outdoor ceremony is legally binding.

A same-day registration runs like this:

1. Arrive at a Public Service Hall before noon, Monday to Friday. The Tbilisi and Batumi halls open 9:00 to 18:00 on weekdays.
2. File the joint application at the civil acts counter with both passports, your entry stamps and both witnesses.
3. Wait for the approval SMS, usually 4 to 5 hours later; the ceremony follows the same evening, often after 17:00 (vow.legal). Filed in advance, the SMS arrives the evening before. It goes to a Georgian number, so buy a local SIM on arrival (about 18 GEL, T-Zh) or give your agency's number.
4. The ceremony takes 15 to 30 minutes and is held in Georgian, so bring an interpreter or an agency (vow.legal).
5. You leave with a Georgian marriage certificate. Apostille and translation follow (see the costs table).

Bring both passports, both witnesses with their passports, the notarised translations and a way to pay the ceremony fee on the day.

You both sign in person: marriage by proxy is not allowed. A representative with a power of attorney can file the application for you before you land. In the April to October season, registry offices ask for at least 3 days' notice for an outdoor registrar when you file in person, and about 2 weeks when an agency files for you (vow.legal). The date, time and address go into the application and are hard to change later, so plan the rain option at the same address.

Adjara has had no wedding palace since 25 February 2026, when the Government of Adjara began demolishing the wedding hall at the central entrance to Batumi Boulevard. On 10 July 2026 the Ministry of Justice presented the design of a new wedding palace on the New Boulevard, next to Lech and Maria Kaczyński Park, with no date for the start of construction or the opening (Georgia Times). Batumi has two Public Service Halls: No. 1 at 7 Sherif Khimshiashvili St and No. 2 in the Batumi Central station building at 3 Odisei Dimitriadi St (Doberi). Hall No. 1 also opens 10:00 to 17:00 at weekends, but only for a limited set of services, so file on a weekday or book the 255 GEL registrar at your venue.

For a wedding in upper Adjara, the nearest Public Service Hall is the Khulo Public Service Hall (Justice House) at 5b Queen Tamar St in Khulo (NAPR), 8.7 km below Glamping Tago. The Khulo Community Center, open Monday to Friday 9:00 to 18:00, handles everyday state services in the town. For a ceremony at the camp you do not go down at all: the registrar comes up for the 255 GEL fee, and most of our ceremonies are registered within 24 hours.

Two passports, proof that you are in Georgia legally (the entry stamp) and two adult witnesses with ID. There is no certificate of no impediment and no birth certificate: you declare yourselves that nothing stops the marriage (Legal.ge).

• Witnesses: two legally capable adults must attend, as the official page says. They can be of any citizenship. Georgian-citizen witnesses need no translation; foreign witnesses bring passports, translated if the names are not in Latin letters (WeddingVibe). Agencies provide witnesses if you come alone.
• Passport translation: the Public Service Development Agency may accept a passport without a Georgian translation when the names are printed in Latin letters. Many agencies and our own organiser page still ask for a notarised Georgian translation. At about 40 GEL a passport (T-Zh), it is cheap protection against a wasted morning.
• If you were married before: the divorce decree or death certificate must be apostilled or legalised in the country that issued it, with a notarised Georgian translation. The passport is the only foreign document without that rule.
• Travel insurance: since 1 January 2026, Decree No. 602 requires most foreign visitors, children included on their own policy, to hold health and accident insurance of at least 30,000 GEL for the whole stay (Georgia Today). It is an entry rule, not a marriage document, but you cannot get to the registry without entering first.

Adjara gives you the sea and the mountains within 2 hours of Batumi airport, and the only venues in this guide you can book whole. Kazbegi is for Mount Kazbek and Gergeti, 3 hours north of Tbilisi. Kakheti is for wine estates and lakes, about 2 hours east. Tbilisi and Mtskheta suit a same-day city elopement.

Batumi and the Adjara mountains

Batumi is the gateway: the airport, the Public Service Halls for the paperwork, the Black Sea for photos, and the mountains within 2 hours. Inland the summer is cooler and greener than in Tbilisi or Kakheti: at Glamping Tago, at 1,200 m, June days usually reach about 24°C. The honest downside is rain, so every outdoor plan here needs a covered option.

Eco House Merisi sits in the Merisi valley, 52.6 km from Batumi by road, and is open all year. It is not on the road to Glamping Tago but up its own side valley from Keda. It offers a full hotel buyout, ceremonies and dinners for up to 60 guests, and a 100 m² covered backup if it rains; every wedding is priced individually.

Hotel Chateau Iveri is a winery hotel in Varjanisi, Keda, right on the Batumi to Khulo road. It works as a dinner or a night on the way up, or for guests who prefer a hotel room to a tent.

Castello Mare is the coastal option: a resort on the cliff at Tsikhisdziri, north of Batumi (the opposite direction from the mountains), with room for about 250 guests. You share it with other hotel guests, and several October 2026 reviews complain about the all-inclusive food, so taste the banquet menu before you sign.

The Batumi Botanical Garden on the Green Cape is the classic sea-view photo location after a registry signing in Batumi. It is large and hilly: plan 2 to 3 hours.

Chateau Milisi, a winery hotel near Batumi, is a separate trip off the mountain road. Several autumn 2026 reviews complain about smoky, unclean rooms and a poor breakfast.

Kazbegi and Gudauri

Stepantsminda (Kazbegi) is 154 km from Tbilisi on the Military Highway: about 3 hours by car or driver, 3 to 3.5 hours by marshrutka (Georgia Journeys). The marshrutka leaves Didube station for 20 GEL; a GoTrip driver costs from 210 GEL a car (The Georgian Guide). Ananuri Fortress and Gudauri are on the way; Truso and the Abudelauri lakes are separate trips.

Rooms Kazbegi is the best-known wedding hotel in Kazbegi: 156 rooms, front rooms facing Kazbek and Gergeti, a 300 m² Grand Conference Hall and three 60 m² halls. It is a busy hotel, not a private venue, and several October 2026 reviews call it overpriced and describe rude restaurant service and small rooms, so book it for the view and check the room category. Private en-suite guesthouse rooms in Stepantsminda cost 180 to 280 GEL a night in peak summer (Georgia Journeys).

Gergeti Trinity Church stands at 2,170 m above Stepantsminda. It is a photo stop, not a ceremony venue. The walk up takes about an hour and a quarter, or you ride up in a 4x4 for about 20 GEL a seat (The Georgian Guide). It is an active church: women cover their heads and wear a skirt or dress that covers the knees, so bring a scarf for the bride (Georgia Journeys). Up here September days reach 14 to 17°C and nights fall to about 6°C, so bring a coat for the photos.

Gudauri, at about 2,000 m and 119 km from Tbilisi, is a ski resort that works as a summer base on the way to Kazbegi. Gudauri Lodge has 121 rooms and suites, ski-in, ski-out in winter.

Marco Polo Hotel Gudauri (123 rooms and 3 chalets, open since 1988) is on the same road, a large ski hotel you share with other groups.

Ananuri Fortress sits right on the drive north and is the usual first photo stop.

The Truso Valley starts at Kobi, 22 km from Stepantsminda: mineral springs, travertine terraces and abandoned villages, reached by 4x4, on horseback or on foot (Georgia Travel). It is a half-day trip, not a roadside stop.

The Abudelauri lakes in Khevsureti are a separate expedition: the paved road ends at Roshka, then a 7 km trail leads to the green and blue lakes, and the white lake lies above 2,800 m, 1.5 km further (Georgia Travel).

Kakheti: lakes and wine

Kakheti is 2 hours east of Tbilisi and suits couples who want a wine estate or a lake. Shu Wedding sells a Lopota Lake wedding from $3,500 and a Kvareli Lake wedding from $3,000, and Lotus Wedding a Kvareli lake wedding for two from $4,850.

Lopota Lake Resort & Spa has 310 rooms across 16 buildings on the lake near Napareuli, 115 km from Tbilisi. It is a big family resort, so you share the grounds.

Kabadoni is a boutique hotel in the centre of Sighnaghi, with a terrace facing the Caucasus. Sighnaghi has its own Wedding House, and the town walls make the photos.

Kvareli Lake Resort has 100 rooms in two buildings on Lake Kvareli, with indoor and outdoor pools and a wellness centre. It is a resort you share with other guests, so a small wedding is one group among many.

Tbilisi and Mtskheta

Tbilisi is the easiest place to marry fast: the city has three ceremonial Wedding Houses (Eventive), and you pick the hall, date and time when you file. The Tbilisi Public Service Hall uses an electronic queue, and the certificate usually comes before the end of the working day (Wedding in Georgia). June to August brings 28 to 33°C in Tbilisi (WedInGeorgia), so city ceremonies are easier in spring or autumn.

Jvari Monastery, on the hill above Mtskheta, is about 30 minutes from the Tbilisi Public Service Hall: the classic photo stop after a morning registration.

On the 92 km road from Batumi to Glamping Tago you pass a waterfall, two stone arch bridges and a gorge, and above it lie Green Lake and the Goderdzi pass. Shoot the venue on the wedding day, the waterfall and bridges on the drive up, and give Green Lake or Khikhani their own morning.

Makhuntseti waterfall and the Queen Tamar bridge

The waterfall is 32.7 km from Batumi's old bus station, right off the road to Khulo. Entry is free and parking costs 1 to 2 GEL; minibus 77 from the old bus station at 1 Mayakovsky St takes about 40 minutes, and you ask the driver to stop at the arch bridge (Travel Batumi). It is busy at midday and on summer weekends, so come early in the morning or near evening (Madloba).

The Queen Tamar bridge is a stone arch a few minutes' walk from the waterfall. It has no railings: keep the dress train and anyone walking backwards with a camera well away from the edge. On a transfer with us, a picnic stop at the waterfall costs 50 GEL on top of the transfer price.

Dandalo and Purtio: the quiet arch bridges on the way

Both bridges are on the Batumi to Khulo road. Dandalo, in Dandalo village in Keda municipality (Keda municipality), adds about 4 km to the drive together with the Makhuntseti stop. Like Makhuntseti it is busiest at midday in summer and on weekends, so shoot portraits early or towards evening. After rain the river runs high and fast, so check the weather the day before.

Purtio (also written Furtio) is in Shuakhevi municipality near Zamleti, the last stretch before Khulo, and adds about 5 km to the drive. It sees far fewer visitors than the bridges lower down (Madloba), which makes it the better one for portraits. You reach it down stairs from the road; stay out of the water, which can rise fast.

Nika photo park: the rain plan for a styled shoot

Nika photo park in Shuakhevi is a garden of staged photo zones at 1,050 m, with a cliff swing, a giant nest and a 9 m wine horn. Day visitors pay 80 GEL with the pool included, it opens 12:00 to 19:00 by appointment only, and a dress with a train hires for 60 GEL. It has no photographer of its own, so bring yours. It adds 8.3 km to the drive, a side trip rather than a stop on the way.

Mirveti waterfall and the Tskhemlara bridge: a separate morning near Batumi

These two lie in side valleys close to Batumi, not on the road to the mountains, so shoot them the day before you drive up. Mirveti is 22.2 km from Batumi towards Machakhela: park by the arch bridge and walk 5 to 15 minutes through the forest (Madloba).

The Tskhemlara bridge is a medieval arch in the Machakhela valley, listed among the sights of Machakhela National Park. For a commercial shoot inside a protected area, ask about the filming permit described below.

Green Lake and the Goderdzi pass

Go in the morning: cloud builds on the pass through the day and can hide the lake completely. Green Lake lies at 2,058 m on the northern slopes of the Arsiani range (Visit Batumi), 39.9 km by road beyond Glamping Tago over Khulo. A 4x4 from Khulo to the lake costs 120 to 150 GEL a vehicle (Go Batumi). Our Green Lake guide has the full road.

Dress for the altitude: June days at the lake usually reach about 17°C with nights near 6°C, and in October days reach about 11°C with nights near freezing. Pack a warm coat for between shots whatever the month.

The meadows of the Goderdzi pass, at about 2,025 m, give you open grass and far ridges without walking, on the same road.

The Goderdzi Alpine Garden (Georgia Travel) and the Shuamta lakes on the summer pastures are short detours from the pass road. Clouds often settle on the lakes, which suits a moody shoot.

Khikhani Fortress: worth the climb for a couple who hike

The ruins stand at 2,236 m, up a side valley from Khulo, 113.5 km from Batumi (Georgia Travel). The last kilometre to the walls is on foot: 254 steps, 14 metal staircases and 400 to 500 m of climb, one to three hours up. The Border Police permit is free: email your route and scanned passports to bpol@mia.gov.ge about a week ahead and carry the passports, as our Khikhani guide explains.

Carry the dress and shoes in a backpack and change at the top: climbing 14 staircases in a wedding dress ends with mud on the hem.

Skhalta Monastery, with its medieval frescoes, is a quieter stop in the Skhalta valley below Tago (Georgia Travel).

In very few places. The other hotels in this guide have 100 to 310 rooms each, and a small wedding shares them with everyone else staying there. Two venues in this guide give a small wedding the whole place: Glamping Tago, booked whole for every wedding, and Eco House Merisi with a full buyout.

The difference is the weekend, not the evening. At a buyout venue your guests arrive the day before, share a welcome dinner, get married the next afternoon and have breakfast together the morning after. Many couples ask us for exactly that programme: a welcome dinner the day before, then the ceremony and banquet. In a hotel the wedding is one evening in a shared building.

By car from Batumi in about 2 hours: 85 km of asphalt to Khulo, then 8.7 km of 4x4 road up to Village Tago. Batumi airport is 87.4 km away, and Kutaisi airport about 5 hours 30 minutes by private 4x4 (how to get to Glamping Tago).

For a wedding our drivers bring guests up and down between the camp and the village guesthouses. Driving yourselves? A normal car is fine as far as Khulo; rental "jeeps" are not always 4x4, so park in Khulo centre and take the 4x4 taxi for the last road. The Khulo cable car is closed, and the taxis wait at its lower station. Khulo centre has shops, a pharmacy, fuel and bank ATMs near the minibus station, the last ones before the camp, so take cash there.

Coming as a group? Our 15-seat minibuses run from Batumi to Tago for 410 GEL and from Khulo to Tago for 135 GEL a minibus (organiser page). They take the Skhalta valley road: leave the Batumi to Akhaltsikhe road at Zamleti, 4.7 km before Khulo, then climb through Cheri and Dzmagula. It is a little longer than the road through Khulo but easier, and it suits normal cars and minibuses (route guide). Big coaches cannot reach the camp, so a popular plan is your own coach to Khulo and our minibuses from there.

A do-it-yourself registration costs under 500 GEL in state fees and translations. An agency wedding for two starts at about $850, a turnkey outdoor registration costs $990 to $1,845, a mountain elopement package $1,800 to $3,355, and an agency micro wedding for 20 guests in Gudauri with stay, dinner and transfers $9,800.

The agency packages come from Lotus Wedding (wedding for two from $855, outdoor registration from $1,845, mountain wedding for two from $3,355), Violet Weddings (wedding for two from $850, outdoor registration from $1,400, an all-inclusive off-site package from $2,600), Georgia Assistant (turnkey outdoor registration $990), Marry Abroad Simply (EUR 1,245), Casa di Gudo (Basic from $550, Mountain from $1,800), Shu Wedding (Elopement from $3,000) and Tbili Weddings & Events (a symbolic mountain ceremony with photos for $1,980). Paperwork-only packages run from $200 at Get Married in Georgia to $500 with the apostille at GetMarried.ge. State fees are often extra, so ask whether the 255 GEL registrar is included.

As a guide, our organiser page puts a 30-guest wedding with dinner, breakfast and accommodation at 5,000 to 15,000 USD, depending on the season and how you decorate it.

What do photographers, make-up artists and DJs charge in Batumi and Adjara?

2026 prices from the wedding vendors who work in Batumi and Adjara: an entry photo package costs about 470-800 GEL (16 photographers), a full-day package around 1,910 GEL, a video package 650-1,470 GEL, bride make-up 200-400 GEL (13 artists) and a DJ 650-1,190 GEL (7 DJs). Most photographers charge the trip up to Tago on top, about 100-150 GEL.

For a couple on their own, the photographer is the vendor that matters most. Valerie Kasperova, a Batumi photographer who has shot weddings at Glamping Tago, charges 200-750 USD a package or 50-60 USD an hour and knows the mountain spots for a couple's shoot.

For a couple on a tight schedule, a Tbilisi agency handles the translations, the witnesses, the booking at the hall and the apostille. Planners charge either a package or a share of the budget: Tbili Weddings takes 9% of the budget with a $600 minimum. At Glamping Tago the venue comes with our free vendor guide for couples who book the vendors themselves, our partner planner plans the whole wedding for their own fee, or we coordinate everything for a fixed 2,000 GEL (organiser page).

April to June and September to October. Planners name those months for weddings in Georgia (Plana). June and September are the two most popular wedding months, so planners book those dates 8 to 12 months ahead (Eventive). October is quieter and cheaper: the whole of Glamping Tago costs 3,646 GEL a night in October against 5,041 GEL in September. Our guide to the best month to get married in Georgia compares every region month by month.

In Kazbegi the trails open in June and the high roads shut in October (The Georgian Guide); in winter the Jvari Pass (2,379 m) closes without warning in heavy snow, sometimes for days (Georgia Journeys).

The rain plan is simple: the registration address is fixed in the application, so the covered option has to be at the same venue. At Glamping Tago the ceremony moves under the event tent or into the yurt; Eco House Merisi has its 100 m² covered space; hotels move you indoors. At the camp, about 1,200 m up, September days usually reach 22-25°C and nights drop to 10-13°C; in October days reach about 18°C and nights 5-8°C. Pack a warm layer for the evening and an umbrella (our tents are heated). May is the wettest wedding month, with rain on about 16 days, so the covered option matters most then.

Yes, if you are both baptised Orthodox, and only after the civil registration: the church wedding has no legal effect on its own (Wedding in Georgia). Churches do not marry during fasts such as Lent (Georgia Expats).

• Witnesses must be Orthodox, a man and a woman who are not married to each other, and Georgian Orthodox churches do not hold weddings on Wednesdays and Fridays (Tbili Weddings). An unbaptised partner can be baptised first (Shu Wedding).
• Bring baptism certificates, cross necklaces and two baptised witnesses. The bride wears a dress to the knee or longer, shoulders covered, and a head covering.
• Agencies charge from $250 (Lotus) to organise it, the donation included. The donation to the church is not a fixed price: the amount is yours to decide (TourismCenter.ge).

Any drone of 250 g or more must be registered, with its operator, on uas.gov.ge with the Civil Aviation Agency, and the pilot passes an online test; registration is free (GCAA). In the open category a drone keeps a safe distance from people and is never flown over an assembly of people, so plan drone shots of the couple and the landscape, not over your seated guests.

• Inside national parks and other protected areas, commercial photo and video shoots, drones included, need a filming permit from the Agency of Protected Areas.
• Video: an entry video package in Batumi and Adjara costs 650-1,470 GEL. Our partner videographer at Glamping Tago charges 650 to 2,000 USD with drone filming included, 650 USD for 5 hours and a clip of up to 3 minutes.
• Kazbek hides for whole days at a time, and mornings are clearer than afternoons as cloud builds over the Caucasus, so stay at least one night in Stepantsminda and shoot at sunrise (The Georgian Guide).

1. 6 to 12 months ahead: book the venue if you want a June to September weekend. High-season dates at Glamping Tago go that early, as our organiser page says.
2. 2 to 3 months ahead: book the planner or agency, the photographer and hair and make-up. A small wedding needs about 2 months of planning (Shu Wedding); a couple-only registration can be arranged in days.
3. Before you commit: check how your home country recognises the marriage and whether it wants an apostille. The UK publishes recognition letters by country, £50 for a stamped copy (GOV.UK). Russia and the other Minsk Convention states need no apostille, only a notarised translation (MyBaraholka).
4. If you were married before: apostille the divorce or death certificate at home and get the notarised Georgian translation.
5. 2 weeks ahead: have the agency file the registrar application with your power of attorney, or plan to file in person at least 3 days before the date.
6. Before the flight: buy the 30,000 GEL health and accident insurance.
7. 2 to 3 days before: arrive, buy a Georgian SIM, meet the planner, walk the ceremony spot. Our couples usually arrive 2 to 3 days early.
8. After the wedding: order the apostille and translation. PSDA translates the certificate for 30 GEL a page and apostilles its own translation.

Glamping Tago for this

An elopement or micro wedding weekend at Glamping Tago

We host one wedding at a time in the mountains of Adjara, made for weddings of about 30 guests and retreats of up to 30 people: you book the whole camp, everyone sleeps on site on the ridge, and the registrar comes up to the meadow for the 255 GEL state fee. We are Jonas and Lisa, a Belgian couple who fell in love with Georgia and opened Glamping Tago in 2021.

Our recent weddings were small: 17 to 38 guests in 2025 and 2026. Couples come 2 to 3 days early, hold a welcome dinner, get married on the meadow, shoot their portraits at golden hour on the ridge and dance in the yurt after midnight.

Venue only comes with our free vendor guide, and you or your own planner book the vendors; our partner planner can plan it for their own fee; or we coordinate everything for a fixed 2,000 GEL.
