A 30-Guest Glamping Wedding Weekend in Georgia (the Country), Hour by Hour: 2026 Guide

← Back to the blog

Updated 19 October 2026·28 min read·Prices and facts checked: October 2026

A glamping wedding weekend in Georgia means about 30 guests who all sleep on the ridge where you marry: arrival and welcome dinner, the wedding day from 16:00 to midnight, and breakfast together the morning after. At Glamping Tago in the Adjara mountains, two nights for 30 cost about 25,000-27,600 GEL in 2026 with meals, vendors and transfers.

A glamping wedding weekend is a wedding where the venue is also the hotel. About 30 guests arrive on day one, sleep in tents on the same ridge where the ceremony happens, dance until midnight and wake up to breakfast with the bride and groom. This guide shows how we run that weekend at Glamping Tago in the Adjara mountains: the hour-by-hour plan for all three days, who does what, the 2026 prices for 30 guests and how everyone gets up the mountain.

If you want every guest to sleep where you marry, the choice in Georgia (the country) is short. Most venues are hotels you share with other guests or banquet halls with no beds at all. This table compares what decides a weekend for about 30 people.

A glamping weekend is right for you if you want a small wedding where everyone is together from the welcome dinner to the last breakfast, nature all around and no other guests. It is the wrong choice if you need hotel rooms with private bathrooms for everyone, a banquet for 150, or a date in winter.

A glamping wedding weekend means you take over a built camp for two or three nights, so the ceremony, the dinner, the party and every guest's bed are in one place. Nobody drives home after the toasts, and the wedding lasts a weekend instead of one evening slot in a banquet hall.

At a one-evening venue, guests arrive at 17:00, eat, dance and are bussed back to their hotels. At a weekend venue, the welcome dinner the night before is where the two families meet, the wedding day starts slowly with yoga and breakfast, and the morning after is a long breakfast instead of a goodbye in a car park. Planners abroad build the same three anchors: a welcome dinner, a ceremony about 90 minutes before sunset and a brunch the next day (IVAE Studios). In Georgia, Eventive prices a multi-day celebration with a welcome dinner and a farewell brunch at 8,000-30,000+ USD, against 4,000-15,000 USD for a wedding with one banquet. At a camp you buy out, the welcome dinner and the breakfast after are simply part of the stay.

Glamping Tago (our venue), Village Tago, Adjara

Where: on a ridge above Village Tago in Khulo municipality, mountainous Adjara, at 1,200 m. Drive time: about 2 hours from Batumi and its airport. Capacity: 33 beds on site, built for weddings of about 30. Price from: the whole camp is 3,258 GEL a night in April (2026). Season: weddings from May to mid-October.

Every wedding books the whole camp: 12 Lotus Belle tents for two and a 9-bed half-dome dorm, the sailcloth event tent on its wooden deck, the ceremony meadow, the heated yoga dome as the getting-ready room, the yurt restaurant, the fire circle and the sauna. We close the camp to other guests, so the people on the ridge are your people. Meals are cooked in Yurtalicious, our yurt restaurant on site, and our venue team runs the kitchen, the rooms and the turnarounds on the day.

The weekend runs over two nights: day one is arrival and the welcome dinner, day two is the wedding, day three is breakfast and the way home. We recommend at least two nights, and many couples come two or three days early to set up and settle in (our organizer guide).

The village mosque calls to prayer mostly on Fridays, and we help you time a Friday ceremony around it.

Day one is about getting 30 people up a mountain without stress, then feeding them well. Guests arrive in waves through the afternoon, check in from 15:00, and the day ends with the welcome dinner and the fire.

A typical day one:

• Morning: the couple and the vendors who build (decor, sound, lights) come up first. Vendors can arrive and set up the day before the wedding, and our team helps them unload and finds them power.
• From about 12:00: minibuses and 4x4s leave Batumi, the airport or the railway station in waves, built around your guests' flight and train times. The drive takes about 2 hours. Check-in is at 15:00, but when the camp is yours we are flexible and charge nothing for an early arrival.
• On arrival: a snack or a light buffet in the yurt, tea and coffee all day, and time to walk the ridge. Couples who want a picnic on the way up can stop at the Makhuntseti waterfall, which sits on the Batumi to Khulo road, for 50 GEL on top of the transfer.
• Evening: the welcome dinner. Our dinner buffet for staying guests runs 19:00 to 21:00, and for a wedding we agree the exact time with you on one run sheet that the kitchen also holds. A later dinner is fine when it is on that sheet.
• After dinner: the fire circle is lit every evening and seats 35, firewood included. The evening sauna is free for everyone staying, and it is where the parents tend to end up.

At a 35-guest wedding in September 2025, the couple and their closest friends came the day before to set up, and on arrival day three transfers ran: one from the city, one from the airport and the railway station, and a jeep for a late flight (case study). That is the pattern we plan with most couples.

The wedding day at Glamping Tago follows a run sheet we have refined over many weddings: ceremony at 16:00, dinner at 19:00, cake and first dance at 20:30, the DJ from 21:00, the bonfire at 22:30 and the party in the yurt from midnight. Leave about 30 minutes between blocks so our team can turn the tent from ceremony to dinner.

This is the same run sheet as on our wedding site, with one change for a weekend: your guests are already here, so the 09:00 departure from Batumi becomes yoga and breakfast.

Who is where during the day:

• Getting ready: the heated yoga dome is the bride's room and the base for the make-up artist and the planner's team, at no charge. Two hair dryers and an iron or steamer are available on request.
• The ceremony: most couples marry on the meadow, with our handmade arch facing the mountains and guests on wooden benches. Two other spots work: a forest clearing near the camp, or Otsinari lake, 4 km up the road and about 30 minutes by car, at 1,458 m.
• The registrar: if you marry legally on the day, the registrar comes up and the signing is part of the ceremony (see the legal section below).
• Photos at golden hour: while guests eat canapes, the couple and the photographer go out for about an hour. Do the portraits then, not during dinner.
• The party: music plays outside until midnight, then the party continues inside the yurt so the tents can sleep. Fireworks and fire shows are allowed, and torches can line the path.

What time should the ceremony start in each month?

A 16:00 ceremony works all season because it leaves time for golden-hour photos before the 19:00 dinner. If you want the ceremony closer to sunset, start about 90 minutes before it. The table uses Batumi's sunset times for 2026 from Sunrise.am as a guide; on the ridge the light goes behind the mountains a little earlier.

The latest sunset of the year in Khulo is 20:49 on 27 June (Weather Spark). A later ceremony moves dinner, the cake and the DJ later too, so put the new times on the run sheet with the kitchen.

The morning after is slow: yoga at 09:00 for anyone who wants it, a long breakfast together, check-out at 11:00 and the transfers down the mountain. When the camp is yours, check-out is flexible and there is no late fee.

• Breakfast: a buffet in the event tent or the yurt. This is the brunch planners abroad add as an extra event; here it is simply breakfast.
• Transfers: minibuses take guests down to Khulo or straight to Batumi, the airport or the railway station. At a 38-guest wedding in September 2026, ten friends went back to Batumi at 22:00 on the wedding night and the rest slept in the tents and rode down to Khulo at 11:00 (case study). Early flights need their own car: at a September 2025 wedding, a car left at 6 am for one guest's early flight (case study).
• A third night: couples and close family often stay on. Extra nights in the tents before or after the wedding cost 173 to 336 GEL a tent a night, depending on the month, when the camp is not bought out.
• A day out: guests who stay longer can visit Green Lake over the Goderdzi pass, a half-day trip from the camp.

We are your venue, not your wedding planner, but our venue team runs the place on the day whichever way you plan. That means the rooms, the food and its timing, turning the tent from ceremony to dinner, our decor and setup, and one person on our side who answers your questions.

You choose how much planning you hand over:

1. Venue only, with our vendor guide. Free. You or your own planner book the vendors; couples who book get our guide with vetted vendors, mostly from Batumi, with contacts and approximate prices.
2. Our partner planner. Natalia and the Iremi Wedding team plan about fifteen weddings a year in Adjara, know the camp and work in Russian and English. Planners usually charge 10-15% of the whole budget, about 2,000-6,000 GEL on a 20,000-40,000 GEL wedding, agreed directly with them.
3. We coordinate it. A fixed 2,000 GEL: one person on our side books and manages the vendors from our guide, builds the timeline and runs the day.

A WhatsApp group with you, your planner and our team is the working channel. We keep a shared wedding brief and send an itemised invoice with every add-on.

A two-night wedding weekend for 30 guests at Glamping Tago costs about 25,000 GEL in May and about 27,600 GEL in September, with every meal, the decor, a photographer, make-up, a DJ, the registrar and return transfers. That is about 9,000-10,000 USD, inside the 5,000-15,000 USD our organizer page gives for a 30-guest wedding with dinner, breakfast and accommodation.

The biggest line is the venue. The whole camp is priced per night and covers all 12 tents and the dorm, the event tent, both yoga spaces, the yurt, the sauna and the campfire every evening, morning yoga, our sound system, and tea and coffee all day.

A 30-guest September weekend, line by line (2026 prices)

The same weekend in May costs 24,927 GEL, because the camp is 3,711 GEL a night. Add 2,000 GEL if we coordinate everything, 600 GEL for fireworks, 1,000 GEL for a photo booth set-up, and from 200 GEL for bouquet delivery from Batumi. Children under 6 eat free and children from 6 to 12 pay half.

How this compares: Matilda Events puts a 15-25 guest wedding in Georgia at 6,000-10,000 EUR, and Eventive puts 20-50 guests at 4,000-10,000 USD. Lotus Wedding sells mountain weddings from 2,305 USD, and its Gudauri package for up to 20 guests from 8,060 USD. At Tago, the beds for all 30 guests and two nights of meals are inside the total above.

Our kitchen cooks vegetarian food from local produce every day, and wedding menus add meat through a BBQ live station grilled next to the event tent. Everyone gets the same wedding menu, and vegan, gluten-free and allergy needs are handled with notice.

Drinks: bring your own wine or spirits for 15 GEL corkage a bottle (5-litre bottles are counted per litre), and we can collect them in Batumi and chill them. Drinks from our menu get a 10% wedding discount, and a bottle of sparkling wine is 45 GEL. Homemade lemonade, compote and water come with the supra. Order the cake in Batumi and send us its size: our freezer door is 60 x 50 cm.

Vendors who work in Batumi and Adjara charge most couples 425-750 GEL for a photographer's entry package, 225 GEL for make-up and about 800 GEL for a DJ, plus the ride up to Tago. These are 2026 prices from the quotes our team collected from local wedding vendors; the chart shows the typical entry package and the range most of them sit in.

Prices from our own partners at Tago: a Russian-speaking host for 6 hours is 3,000 GEL, a Georgian DJ 600-1,500 GEL, a Russian-speaking DJ from Tbilisi 2,000 GEL, and host, DJ and sound as one team from 5,000 GEL. A full sound rig with two technicians is 2,600 GEL. An Adjaran folk trio costs 900 GEL plus 50 GEL transfer, and the bride's make-up and hair at the camp is 400 GEL with the trip from Batumi. Event lighting starts at 1,000 GEL for warm string lights.

Two vendors who have worked at Glamping Tago:

What we already have, free: 10 wooden tables, benches for 100 and about 20 chairs, tablecloths, napkins, plates, cutlery and glasses, candle holders and lanterns, a JBL speaker with two wireless microphones (enough for the ceremony, speeches and dinner), sockets at the event tent, Starlink Wi-Fi at about 300 Mbps for live streams. What you bring or rent: a DJ system for dancing, stage or event lighting, and a projector. There is no high-power generator on site.

Glamping Tago is 91.7 km by road from Batumi bus station (about 87 km from the airport), and the drive takes about 2 hours. The last 8.7 km from Khulo is a mountain road: big coaches cannot make it, so 30 guests travel in two 15-seat minibuses, or by your own coach to Khulo and our minibuses from there.

How it works: send us every guest's flight or train time and pick-up address, and we build the plan in waves a few days before. We use 15- and 17-seat minibuses and 4x4s, from Batumi, the airport or the railway station. Transfers are paid in cash at reception, never to the driver. Khulo, on the way up, has a fuel station, an ATM and a pharmacy, so guests who need cash can take it out there. Full details are on how to get to Glamping Tago.

• Your own coach to Khulo: Batumi companies charter buses for groups of up to 20, 30 or 50, priced by hours and mileage; book a month ahead in summer (Helper.travel). Our minibuses take guests the last stretch for 135 GEL each.
• From Kutaisi airport: the road goes via Batumi, about 210 km to Khulo, plus 8.7 km to the camp. The shorter line on maps crosses the Bakhmaro mountain road and is not a transfer route.
• By marshrutka: minibuses leave the old Batumi bus station for Khulo (sign ბათუმი - ხულო) every 30 minutes from 08:00 to 20:00, take about 2.5 hours (Madloba) and cost about 10 GEL. We send a car to meet guests in Khulo.
• Driving yourself: a normal car is fine on the 85 km of asphalt to Khulo, but the road from Khulo up to Tago needs a 4x4. With one, park at the top of the camp by the sign; without one, park in Khulo centre and take our 4x4 taxi for 75 GEL a car. The Skhalta valley road, turning off at Zamleti 4.7 km before Khulo and climbing through Cheri, is a little longer but easier, and suits normal cars and minibuses.
• The cable car: the Khulo to Tago cable car is closed (Batumelebi), so every guest comes up by road.

Where do guests sleep who do not want a tent?

Every wedding guest can sleep at the camp, but the tents have no bathrooms inside: two shared bathhouses between the tents have 4 hot showers and 4 toilets in total. A grandparent who needs a private bathroom or a vendor who arrives late may prefer a room in Tago village or in Khulo, 8.7 km below. These are the places we send them to.

Yes. Foreigners can marry legally in Georgia without residency, and a registrar can come to the camp: the on-site registration costs 255 GEL, and most ceremonies are registered within 24 hours. The signing can be part of the ceremony on the meadow.

What you need, according to the Public Service Development Agency and planners who file these every week:

1. A joint written application, made by both of you in person. Apply at the House of Justice between two months and two weeks before the date (case study).
2. Valid passports with the legal entry stamp, and a notarised Georgian translation (Geowed).
3. A divorce certificate if one of you was married before.
4. Two adult witnesses. Both of you must be at least 18.
5. Valid health and accident insurance for the whole stay, with cover of at least about 30,000 GEL (Galogrea).

Agencies also handle the paperwork: Violet Weddings charges 390 USD for registration without an apostille and 450 USD with one. A symbolic ceremony with the legal signing done at home works just as well at the camp.

Weddings at Glamping Tago run from May to mid-October; the camp is open from 1 April to the end of October and closed in winter, when there can be 3 m of snow. May and June are the greenest, September and early October are warm and golden, and August is the clearest month in Khulo, with a clear, mostly clear or partly cloudy sky 91% of the time (Weather Spark).

Mountain weather changes fast, so every wedding has a covered plan: the sailcloth event tent is 15.2 x 9.7 m, about 150 m2, with walls 2.4 m high, a 5.9 m peak and sides that close, fixed on a wooden deck so the floor stays dry. The yurt has 36 seats inside around a wood stove. On a cold September night in 2026, our team moved the wood stoves into the event tent.

• Nights are cold even in summer. At the camp, nights usually drop to about 15°C in July, 10-13°C in September and 6-9°C in May, so put a warm layer in the invitation; the tents are heated.
• Rain is part of the plan. It rains on 11 to 16 days a month from May to October, so the covered setup in the event tent is ready for every wedding, not only when the forecast looks bad.
• Late August can be rainy. Bring umbrellas, and do not trust the Khulo forecast for the ridge.
• Early August has few local flowers. Our team picks flowers and greens in village gardens and the forest, so colours follow the season; in early August, order some from Batumi.
• Book early for summer. June to September dates book 6-12 months ahead; for other months, at least three months.

In Georgia, the venues where all 30 guests sleep on site and nobody else is there are rare: Glamping Tago and Eco House Merisi in the Adjara mountains are the clearest examples. Most other wedding venues are hotels or resorts you share with other guests, or banquet halls with no beds. Here are the options couples compare with us, region by region.

Adjara: the mountains and the coast behind Batumi

Adjara is the region most wedding lists leave out, and it suits a small weekend wedding well. Batumi airport is about 2 hours from the mountain venues, the summer in the mountains is cooler and greener than in Tbilisi or Kakheti, and the villages have few tourists. The honest downsides: the last stretch to some mountain venues is a mountain road, the coast gets a lot of rain, and Tbilisi is far.

Eco House Merisi (Merisi, Keda): 53.4 km from Batumi in the Merisi side valley. Capacity: ceremonies and dinners up to 60, a restaurant hall for 50, and 12 cottages and 3 villas that sleep up to 54. Price: quoted per wedding. Season: all year. It is the closest like-for-like option to ours, with a wedding weekend format and a full hotel buyout (Eco House Merisi weddings). It is not on the way to Tago: as a stop, it adds 23.2 km and 37 minutes.

Chateau Iveri (Vardjanisi, Keda): 51.1 km from Batumi, right on the Batumi to Khulo road. A small hotel with a winery and only 7 rooms, so most wedding guests sleep elsewhere. Agency packages start at 2,990 USD (Lotus Wedding).

Chateau Milisi (Milisi, Keda): 37 km and about 50 minutes from Batumi, off the Tago road. A 4-star hotel with its own wine cellar, a pool and a sauna (Chateau Milisi), for weddings of up to 120 guests, shared with other hotel guests; agency packages from 2,990 USD (Lotus Wedding).

Near Tbilisi: glamping and cottages

Near Tbilisi, a few venues offer cottages or domes, but none sleeps a whole wedding and gives you the place to yourselves the way a camp buyout does. Kiketi Farm, 25-30 minutes from Tbilisi, has greenhouses for 30-150 guests and a meadow for 150-200, with a container hotel and tree houses on site.

Kazbegi and Gudauri: high mountains, hotel weddings

Kazbegi is the mountain region most agencies sell first. It is about 150 km from Tbilisi, 2.5 to 3.5 hours by private car over the Jvari pass, which closes for a few hours at a time in the avalanche season from November to February (Georgia Guidebook). Planners advise July and August for a wedding with guests and an outdoor dinner; in May and June the dinner moves into a restaurant (Tbiliweddings). Geowed quotes an in-season buyout of Hotel Rosche, one of the Gudauri and Kazbegi hotels on its list, at 3,430 USD plus VAT for 33 rooms, with a 1,500 USD minimum for the wedding dinner.

In the same town, Hotel Porta Caucasia is a smaller hotel with standard doubles, twins and triples and the Liguria terrace restaurant. Like Rooms Kazbegi, it sells rooms by the night, so a wedding party shares it with other guests.

Kakheti: wine estates and lake resorts

Kakheti is the wine region, about 2 hours from Tbilisi. Its venues are estates and resorts built for large weddings: many rooms, ballrooms and vineyards, but shared with other guests and usually more than one celebration a weekend. Chateau Artwine has 32 rooms that sleep up to 52 and hosts events up to 150.

Is a glamping wedding cheaper than a hotel or restaurant wedding in Georgia?

For 30 guests who all need a bed, usually yes, because at a camp you buy out, the beds, the venue and the event tent are one nightly price. At a hotel, you pay for rooms, a ballroom or terrace and a dinner minimum separately: the Gudauri and Kazbegi hotel buyout Geowed quotes is 3,430 USD plus VAT before the 1,500 USD dinner minimum. For a 150-guest banquet with no overnight stay, a restaurant or wine estate in Kakheti is the simpler and cheaper choice.

Book the venue first, at least three months ahead and 6-12 months ahead for June to September, then the registrar, the vendors and the transfers. This is the order that works for a 30-guest weekend:

1. 12 to 6 months before: pick the month and ask Anastasia, who handles every wedding enquiry and answers within a day (anastasia@glampingtago.ge, or WhatsApp from our wedding site), for the date. Pay the 30% prepayment that confirms it. Decide whether you plan yourself, with Iremi Wedding or with our coordination.
2. 6 to 3 months before: book the photographer, make-up, host or DJ. Ask each vendor for the ride to Tago in writing.
3. 3 months to 2 weeks before: apply for the legal marriage at the House of Justice, between two months and two weeks before the date. Tell guests about the insurance.
4. 30 days before: send us your full programme, the vendor list and the mood board. We tell you honestly what we make here and what has to come from Batumi.
5. 7 days before: the final food count in writing, which becomes the invoice, and the rooming list: who sleeps in which tent, double or twin.
6. 1 week before: menu choice, the drinks order, the cake size and the address where we collect your alcohol.
7. A few days before: every guest's arrival time and pick-up address for the transfer plan.
8. On the day: one person from your side on site early in the morning.

You can visit the camp on a weekend before you book, or we walk you through it on a live video call.

Most mistakes on a mountain weekend come from planning it like a city wedding. These are the ones we see.

Glamping Tago for this

A 30-guest mountain wedding weekend at Glamping Tago

We run the weekend ourselves, with our own venue team on the ridge. Your wedding books the whole camp on the ridge above Village Tago, so the 30 people around the fire on Friday night are the same 30 at breakfast on Sunday, and nobody else.

You get the 12 tents and the dorm dome, the sailcloth event tent on its deck, the ceremony meadow, the heated dome as the getting-ready room, the sauna and the campfire every evening and morning yoga. Meals come from Yurtalicious, our yurt restaurant on site, and our team turns the tent from ceremony to dinner while you take your golden-hour photos.

Plan it yourself with our vendor guide, with our partner planner, or let us coordinate it for a fixed fee. Write to Anastasia with your date and guest count.
