Wedding in Adjara, Georgia: Batumi Coast or the Mountains? Month by Month, Venues and Prices (2026)

← Back to the blog

Updated 9 November 2026·37 min read·Prices and facts checked: November 2026

Marry on the Batumi coast for 100+ guests in a hotel ballroom; marry in the Adjara mountains for about 30 guests who all stay the weekend. Here is the weather by month, every venue with contacts, the 2026 registrar fees and what each side costs.

Choose the Batumi coast for a big wedding of 100 guests or more: a hotel ballroom with a rain plan built in, a room upstairs for every guest and the airport minutes away. Choose the Adjara mountains for a small wedding of about 30 guests that lasts a whole weekend, with everyone sleeping where they celebrate. The coast is at its wettest in September and October, when Batumi takes 228 to 248 mm of rain a month; the mountains are quieter and cooler at night, and the price is a slower road, with the last stretch to some venues by 4x4.

Glamping Tago is a boutique glamping venue in Tago village, Khulo, in the mountains of Adjara, Georgia, about 2 hours by car from Batumi. It is made for weddings of about 30 guests: the whole camp belongs to one wedding at a time and everyone sleeps on site, so it is the right choice for a two- or three-day mountain wedding weekend and the wrong one for a 200-guest ballroom dinner.

Adjara is the south-western corner of Georgia (the country), the strip between the Black Sea and the Turkish border. Batumi sits at sea level and is the wettest city in the Caucasus, at about 2,435 mm of rain a year. Inland, the Batumi-Akhaltsikhe road climbs through Keda and Shuakhevi to Khulo at about 900 m, our camp in Village Tago sits at 1,200 m, and the road tops out at the Goderdzi Pass at 2,025 m.

This guide compares both sides month by month, with every venue's facts, the registrar's 2026 fees, the drive and what a wedding costs. Further down, the same comparison runs against Kakheti, Kazbegi, Tbilisi and Borjomi, for couples still choosing a region.

Coast or mountains is really a question about what kind of wedding you want. A city hotel gives you a ballroom, a short drive and a building full of other guests. A mountain venue gives you the whole place for a weekend, with the road and the weather as the price. These are the differences that decide it:

Glamping Tago (our venue), Village Tago, Adjara

Where: a ridge above Village Tago, Khulo municipality, at 1,200 m. From Batumi: about 92 km and about 2 hours; 87 km from Batumi airport. Capacity: made for weddings of about 30 guests, with 33 beds on site. Price from: whole-camp wedding rate 3,258 GEL a night in April, 2026. Season: weddings May to mid-October.

The coast is wet all year and gets wetter through the wedding season, from 88 mm in May to 248 mm in October. The mountains have their rainiest month in May and their fewest rain days from August to October, with cold nights at both ends of the season.

Batumi's figures below are the long-term CRU and Met Office averages; the Tago column is the ten-year average at the camp itself, from two independent weather records (where they differ a little, you see the range).

The number of rain days hardly changes on the coast between June and October. What changes is the amount: September and October bring about 1.5 to 1.8 times the water of June and July on the same number of days, so the rain arrives as heavy downpours rather than drizzle. The rain does not ease in November: Batumi's long-term record makes it the wettest month of the year, at about 312 mm, and May the driest.

Nights are the other half of the story in the mountains. At the camp, July nights usually drop to about 15 C, September nights to 10-13 C and October nights to 5-8 C, with October days around 18 C. Plan an autumn wedding around the closed tent, the wood stove in the yurt and a blanket on every bench. May has rain on about 16 days at the camp, so for a May date the closed tent is plan A, not plan B.

The coast is where you go for 100 or more guests, a hotel bathroom for each of them, a ballroom with the rain plan built in and the airport close to the altar. It is weakest in the autumn rain, in July and August humidity, and in the fact that the wedding is one evening in a room you share with a hotel, rather than a weekend together.

Coast hotels in Adjara quote weddings per event rather than publishing packages, so the facts below are the room counts and ballroom sizes. The two restaurants that do publish their banquet prices, BOBO and Mephaitone, are the honest benchmark for what a Batumi dinner costs.

Sheraton Batumi

Where: 28 Rustaveli Ave, on the boulevard. Capacity: Grand Ballroom of 972 m2, 600 at a banquet, 1,000 at a reception; 202 rooms. Good for: the biggest formal dinner on the coast, with the whole party sleeping upstairs. Watch out: the ballroom is indoors, and the rooms are shared with other hotel guests, so your wedding is one of several things happening in the building that night.

Radisson Blu Batumi

Where: 1 Ninoshvili St, on the boulevard. Capacity: 168 rooms, with the Clouds restaurant on the top floor that couples use for the dinner. Good for: a sea-view reception in the middle of town.

Guests praise the sea view, the location and the staff. What it cannot give you is privacy: Clouds is a working restaurant in a city hotel, so ask in writing whether your dinner closes it to other diners.

Hilton Batumi

Where: 40 Rustaveli Ave. Capacity: Rustaveli Ballroom of about 385 m2, 260 at a banquet; 247 guest rooms. Good for: a 150-260 guest dinner with the Nephele Sky Bar on the top floor for the afterparty. Watch out: the ballroom is indoors and the hotel is shared with other guests, so get your guests' room block and check-in time in writing.

Le Meridien Batumi

Where: the Batumi Tower, the tallest building in the city. Capacity: 105 rooms and 9 event rooms; the largest single space takes 200. Good for: a 100-200 guest wedding with the best skyline in Batumi. Watch out: you share the tower with hotel guests, and no single room takes more than 200, so a bigger list splits across spaces.

BOBO, Batumi: a city banquet with published prices

Where: central Batumi. Capacity: grand hall up to 80, courtyard up to 30, terrace up to 50. Price from: wedding menus at 45, 85 or 140 GEL a guest; no hall fee, but a deposit that goes towards the menu, from 1,500 GEL for the terrace, 2,500 for the courtyard and 4,000 for the grand hall. Good for: a one-evening wedding dinner in town at a price you can calculate before you call.

At 4.8 from 472 Google reviews, it is the best-rated banquet address on this list, and one of the few in Batumi that puts its wedding prices on its own page. Your guests sleep in hotels elsewhere and leave at the end of the night.

Mephaitone, Batumi

Where: 99 Alexander Pushkin St, Batumi. Capacity: main banquet hall of 111 m2 for up to 100 guests, a small hall for 35 and a courtyard for 45. Price: no hall hire fee; the menu price is given on a call. Good for: a Georgian banquet for up to 100 in the city.

Georgia Palace, Kobuleti

Where: Agmashenebeli Ave 275, Kobuleti, about 40 minutes north of Batumi. Capacity: 7 meeting and conference rooms with multimedia, sound and lighting, and the hotel hosts weddings; quoted per event. Good for: a beach-resort wedding with a spa and a pool for the day after.

Weddings and corporate events are core business here all season, which is why the events team has the rooms and the staff for yours. It also means your date competes for them: book early, and ask what else is in the building on the nights your guests arrive.

Ajara Palace

Where: 154B Alexander Pushkin St, Batumi. Open: 10:00 to 00:00. Good for: a city banquet at restaurant prices rather than hotel prices, useful as a benchmark against a venue buyout. Recent Google reviews average 5.0 over the last 12 months, with praise for the food and the service.

Castello Mare, Tsikhisdziri

Where: on the cliff at Tsikhisdziri, about 30 minutes north of Batumi. Capacity: 103 rooms, 250 beds and an event hall. Good for: a cliff-top ceremony with the sea below and the whole party sleeping on site. Watch out: several October 2026 Google reviews complain about the state of the rooms and the buffet food, one of them from a couple who held their wedding there, so see the room block and taste the menu before you sign.

Panorama, Orbi Sea Towers

Where: 15b Sherif Khimshiashvili St, on the top floors of an Orbi tower. Capacity: a banquet hall for weddings, with its own banquet menu, decor and musicians. Good for: a big Georgian supra with a view over the city and the sea. Watch out: several October 2026 Google reviews complain about slow service and long waits for food. Service is exactly what strains at a big banquet, so taste the menu and get the number of waiters in writing.

Dreamland Oasis, Chakvi

Where: 16 Batumi St, Chakvi. Watch out: it rates 4.2 on Google, below the 4.3 bar we use for a recommendation, and you need to ask the resort for a hall capacity and a price before you can size or budget an event. It is on this list because couples ask about it.

Batumi Botanical Garden

Where: Green Cape, 9 km north of central Batumi. Open: daily 09:00 to 18:30. Entry: 25 GEL for foreign visitors, per Travel Batumi. Good for: the ceremony and the photographs, with the reception back in town.

It is a backdrop, not a venue: there is no banquet hall, so plan the dinner elsewhere and budget the transfer. Ring +995 422 27 00 33 for the ceremony slot and the fee, which is set separately from the entrance ticket. The garden has three entrances with their own ticket offices, so older guests can enter at the upper one and walk down towards the sea rather than climb (Travel Batumi).

The mountains are where you go for a two- or three-day wedding with about 30 guests who sleep on site, cool nights and a price that already includes the beds. They are wrong for a 200-guest formal dinner, for an en-suite hotel bathroom per guest, and for anyone who will not get into a 4x4.

Glamping Tago: spaces, beds and season

Where: Village Tago, Khulo municipality, 1,200 m. From Batumi: about 92 km and about 2 hours. Capacity: made for weddings of about 30 guests and retreats of up to 30 people. Beds: 33 on site, in twelve heated Lotus Belle tents for two and a nine-bed dorm dome, so a 30-guest wedding sleeps where it celebrates. Price from: whole-camp wedding rate of 3,258 GEL a night in April to 6,035 GEL in July and August, privatisation and the event tent included. Season: the camp is open 1 April to the end of October; weddings run May to mid-October. Watch out: the last 9 km from Khulo takes 4x4 cars and minibuses only.

This is us. You book the whole camp, one wedding at a time, for two nights or more: the twelve tents and the dorm dome, the event tent of about 150 m2 (15.2 x 9.7 m) on its wooden deck, whose sides close for rain, Yurtalicious, our yurt restaurant with a wood stove that seats 36 inside and 20 more outside, the yoga spaces, the sauna and the campfire every evening, morning yoga and the sound system. There are three ceremony spots: the forest clearing, the valley overlook and the highland Otsinari lake about 30 minutes' drive away, with wooden benches and an arch our team builds on the meadow.

The kitchen is vegetarian, with vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free and nut-free dishes, and a BBQ live station and meat khinkali as add-ons. Music runs outside until midnight, then the party moves into the warm yurt; fireworks are allowed. The village mosque's call to prayer is mostly on Fridays, and we help time the ceremony around it. Bring your own wine or chacha if you like: corkage is 15 GEL a bottle. The full spec, every price and the site map are on our wedding organizer guide.

The practical side: check-in is at 15:00 and check-out at 11:00, flexible when the camp is yours. Starlink Wi-Fi runs at about 300 Mbps, enough for vendors and a live stream to family at home. You pay the booking in lari by bank transfer or a payment link (company invoices in GEL or EUR), and what you use on the day is settled on site, in cash or by transfer, against an itemised invoice. Children under 6 eat free and children 6-12 pay half. Tell guests to pack warm layers and an umbrella even in summer; the tents are heated. With a 4x4 you park at the camp; without one, park in Khulo centre and take our taxi.

The weddings we have hosted ran from an intimate wedding of 17 in August 2025, with the registrar coming up to Tago, to a two-day wedding for 27 in July 2026 and one of 38 in September 2026. In our Google reviews (4.9 from 134 reviews over the last two years), guests mention the view most often, then the staff, the food and how romantic the place is.

Eco House Merisi

Where: village Silibauri, Merisi, Keda district. From Batumi airport: 49 km and about 1 hour 10 minutes. Capacity: an open-air ceremony platform of about 50 m2 at the cliff edge, a covered backup of about 100 m2, a restaurant hall for up to 50 and two terraces. Beds: up to 54 in cottages. Season: all year. Good for: a 20 to 50 guest cliff-edge wedding with a proper indoor rain plan.

Formats run from an intimate ceremony to a full hotel buyout, every wedding is priced individually, and there is a halal menu. At 4.9 from more than 1,600 Google reviews, and 5.0 over the last 12 months, it is the strongest mountain alternative in Adjara. It is not on the road to Khulo: Merisi is up its own side valley, and going through it adds 23.3 km and about 37 minutes to a drive to Tago.

Vaio Resort

Where: village Vaio, Keda municipality. From Batumi airport: 41 km, about 40 minutes to an hour. Capacity: seven wooden cottages for up to 40 guests and a restaurant for about 120. Good for: a wedding weekend with a pool, a Finnish sauna and the resort's own wine cellar, on the road to the mountains.

Vaio is the newest venue on this list and genuinely on the Batumi-Khulo road: going via the resort adds 1.7 km and about 7 minutes. Its weddings page offers an open-air ceremony and a whole wedding weekend, and it rates 4.9 from 144 Google reviews. The whole resort is yours only if you book all seven cottages, and 40 beds cap the guest list that can stay.

Chateau Iveri

Where: Varjanisi, Keda. From Batumi: about 50 km and about an hour. Capacity: 7 rooms with 16 beds, an event hall and a pool, with vineyards at 500 m. Good for: a 15 to 30 guest wedding at a family winery, or a harvest wedding: the estate runs rtveli events in October and November. Watch out: with 16 beds, most of a bigger guest list sleeps elsewhere.

The one mountain venue directly on the Batumi-Khulo road: going via Chateau Iveri adds 0.9 km and 5 minutes to the drive. It rates 4.7 from 294 Google reviews, and guests single out the view, the food and the family who run it.

Hotel Ambassadori Goderdzi

Where: the Goderdzi ski resort, at 2,027 m, on the Batumi-Akhaltsikhe road. From Batumi: 111 km, past Khulo on the main road towards the pass. Capacity: two conference rooms with projectors; weddings are quoted per event. Season: all year, which is the point. Good for: the one highland base in Adjara that takes a group in winter as well as summer. Watch out: it is a resort hotel you share with other guests, and weddings are quoted on request.

Chateau Milisi

Where: village Milisi, Keda. Watch out: it rates 4.2 from 209 Google reviews, and several autumn 2026 reviews describe smoky, dirty rooms and mould in the bathrooms.

At a wedding your guests sleep in those rooms, so see them before you book. It is also up its own side valley: going via Milisi adds 12.8 km to the Khulo drive.

ORTA Batumi, Ortabatumi: a riverside venue near the city

ORTA is not a mountain venue. It sits on the lower Adjaristsqali river in the village of Ortabatumi, about 15 minutes from Batumi, and it closes this list because couples who want a river and green hills without the long drive ask about it.

The kitchen is built around fresh river trout, it rates 4.4 from 64 Google reviews, and it is a working restaurant that runs other events on the same grounds, so ask whether your date includes the whole venue. It is not on the road to the mountains: going via ORTA adds 13.9 km to the Khulo drive. Book it by phone, using the number on its card.

For a wedding of about 30 guests who should all stay together, Adjara's mountains are the strongest choice: Batumi airport is close, venues can be taken whole, and Glamping Tago, Eco House Merisi and Vaio Resort sleep your whole party. Kakheti is best for a wine wedding in September and October, Kazbegi for a couple who wants the highest peaks and accepts a shared hotel, and Tbilisi for guests who only have a weekend.

Across Georgia, mid-May to mid-June and September to mid-October are the most comfortable months (Hawa Georgia), and June and September are the most popular wedding months (Eventive). Adjara's honest weak points against the east are its rain on the coast, the 4x4 stretch to some mountain venues and the distance from Tbilisi: 5.5 to 6 hours by road, so couples with guests in the east usually fly them into Batumi.

Kakheti: the wine wedding

Kakheti is good for a wine wedding in September or October, when the grape harvest runs. It is less good for keeping 30 guests to yourselves: most estates are large resorts, and a real buyout costs five figures in dollars. Summer is hot, with July days averaging 29 C in Telavi (weather2travel).

Lopota Lake Resort, 105 km from Tbilisi airport, has its own winery, Chateau Buera, and piers on the lake. Violet Weddings prices the small pier from 755 USD, the large pier from 2,265 USD, the Oval event hall from 5,660 USD and a full closure of Chateau Buera from 13,250 USD, venue hire only.

Kabadoni, a 21-room boutique hotel in Sighnaghi, 99 km from Tbilisi airport, offers its restaurant and terraces over the Alazani valley for weddings, and the whole hotel can be closed for 50 to 60 guests.

Vazisubani Estate is one of the few Kakheti estates sold whole: 19 rooms for up to 38 guests overnight, with the winery grounds from 3,500 USD and a full closure from 12,000 USD (Violet Weddings). Tsinandali Estate and Kvareli Lake Resort are the big names: Kvareli has 100 rooms on the lake, and both are built for weddings of hundreds, shared with a large hotel.

Kazbegi and Gudauri: the big peaks, indoors

It looks like a ceremony with Mount Kazbek behind you and a dinner indoors in a big hotel. Stepantsminda sits at 1,740 m, about 170 km from Tbilisi airport, with summer days of about 20 C and most of the year's rain in June (Sakhva Travel).

Rooms Kazbegi holds wedding banquets indoors, in a restaurant for 80 to 100 or a ballroom for up to 200, in a hotel shared with other guests.

Gudauri Lodge has 121 rooms at about 2,000 m, 135 km from Tbilisi airport and on the way to Kazbegi. Monte Hotel in Upper Gudauri has 17 rooms (Advantour), which can all be booked for one wedding of 50 to 60.

Tbilisi and Mtskheta: the easiest logistics, the least privacy

Around Tbilisi your guests land, drive under an hour and are at the venue. In return you get day venues: several are open to the public on other days or have no rooms, so guests sleep in city hotels.

Kiketi Farm, 45 km from Tbilisi airport, has event spaces from a greenhouse for 30-100 to a meadow for 150-200; on a normal day other visitors stay, eat and ride there, and renting the whole location with no other visitors costs from 10,000 USD (Violet Weddings). Chateau Mukhrani has no hotel rooms; an exclusive closure starts at 10,000 USD and a single zone at 2,500 USD (Violet Weddings). Bioli Wellness Resort in Kojori is the nearest small resort to the city.

Borjomi: forest and spa hotels

Borjomi gives you a forest setting at about 800 m and is reachable from both Tbilisi and Kutaisi. The limit is the venues: big spa hotels or small forest resorts, with no published buyout for a small group. Mountain Resort Gantiadi in Tsemi has a hall for 40 and a larger one for 150, and Borjomi Likani takes weddings of up to 200.

Batumi to our camp in Tago is about 92 km and about 2 hours: asphalt on the Batumi-Akhaltsikhe road as far as Khulo, then a mountain road of 9 km that takes 30 to 35 minutes. Everything else in Adjara is measured off that line, and most of the places people want to bolt onto the drive are not on it.

Four places are genuinely on the way and work as a stop for a convoy of guests. Makhuntseti waterfall, a 50 m fall a five-minute walk from the road, and Queen Tamar's arched stone bridge nearby cost 10 minutes of detour, which makes them the one real photo stop between the airport and the mountains (Georgia Travel). Vaio Resort and Chateau Iveri cost 7 and 5 minutes. The Adjarian Wine House is barely a detour at all at 0.2 km, though at 4.1 from over 1,300 Google reviews we name it as the stop people ask about, not one we recommend, and not as a venue.

Everything else is a separate trip. Merisi, Milisi and ORTA each sit up their own valley, and Goderdzi lies past Khulo, beyond the point where you would turn off for Tago. Putting two of them into one day with 40 guests in convoy is how a wedding weekend turns into a coach tour.

You move them in 4x4 cars and minibuses, and you budget it as a real line in the wedding, because it is one. Big coaches cannot reach a village above Khulo, and normal cars cannot do the last stretch.

• Our transfers, per car, one way (2026): Batumi to Tago 265 GEL by 4x4 (4 seats) or 410 GEL by 15-seat minibus; Khulo to Tago 75 GEL by 4x4 or 135 GEL by minibus; Kutaisi to Tago 465 GEL and Tbilisi to Tago 925 GEL by 4x4. A vendor car from Batumi and back is 530 GEL. Transfers are paid in cash at our reception, never to the driver.
• The coach trick: hire your own coach from Batumi as far as Khulo, where the road is asphalt all the way, and switch everyone into our minibuses for the last stretch. It is the cheapest way up for a full group, and it is how the guests of our July 2026 wedding came up.
• Marshrutka, for guests coming on their own: the Batumi to Khulo minibus leaves Batumi's old bus station on Mayakovsky Street every 30 minutes from 08:00 to 20:00, takes about 2 h 30 (up to 3 h with roadworks) and costs about 10 GEL in cash (Madloba). The window sign reads ბათუმი - ხულო. From Khulo, our 4x4 taxi brings them up for 75 GEL a car.
• Taxi: a Batumi to Khulo ride on Bolt, Yandex or Maxim takes about 2 hours and costs up to 175 GEL. It will not take you past Khulo.
• From Kutaisi: Batumi is about 150 km and 2 h 40 by road, the train takes about 2 hours for about 31 GEL, and the marshrutka about 3 hours for about 20 GEL (OrbiTrip).

Khulo, at the foot of the last 9 km, is where to fill up and take out cash: there are fuel stations around the town and Liberty and Credo Bank ATMs on the main road, with more ATMs and a Wissol station in Shuakhevi, about 17 km earlier.

Three more things couples forget. Vendors need transport too, and most photographers, DJs, hosts and stylists charge the ride on top of their fee; a cameraman who leaves after the first dance needs his own car back. Guests who plan to drive themselves back to Batumi at 02:00 should not. And the transfer plan is built a few days before the wedding around real flight and train times, not months in advance.

Registering a marriage without a ceremony is free on weekdays. What you pay for is the ceremony, and the state ordinance sets one tariff for the whole country: 75 GEL for a ceremonial registration at a House of Justice branch or community centre, 135 GEL on weekdays and 225 GEL at weekends in a Wedding House, and 255 GEL for a registration outside the building at a place you choose, which is what an on-site wedding ceremony is.

Both partners must be 18 or over and attend in person, because registration through a representative is not permitted, and you need two legally capable adult witnesses (Public Service Development Agency). For a weekend registration at your venue, apply at least a day ahead (GetMarried); the application stays valid for two months (Tbilisi Expat). Foreign documents other than a passport need an apostille and a notarised Georgian translation. Our full walkthrough is in How to get married in Georgia as a foreigner.

Batumi has two branches, N1 at 7 Khimshiashvili St and N2 at 3 Odyssey Dimitriadis St, both on the official register. You do not have to use them. The same register lists branches in Keda at 19a Tbel Abuseridze St for a wedding at Merisi, Vaio or Chateau Iveri, in Kobuleti at 131 Shota Rustaveli St, and in Khulo at 5b Queen Tamar St, so a mountain couple never drives back to the coast for the paperwork. A marriage can be registered at Tago itself: couples apply at a House of Justice, the application stays valid for two months, and the registrar comes up the mountain, as at the intimate wedding of 17 we hosted.

Yes, every one of them, including infants. Since 1 January 2026, Decree No. 602 requires every foreign visitor entering Georgia to hold health and accident insurance of at least 30,000 GEL, valid for every day of the stay, in English or Georgian, paper or electronic, from a Georgian or a foreign insurer (Polish Embassy in Tbilisi). It applies whatever the guest's visa status.

One policy per person: a family of four needs four policies, each in the traveller's own name against their own passport. Put it in the invitation with the 30,000 GEL figure spelled out, not in a group chat two days before, and tell guests to buy it at home before they fly rather than at the airport: the policy Georgia Today describes excludes any event in the first six hours after purchase.

Citizens of the EU, the UK, the US, Canada, Australia and most of Europe need no visa and can stay up to a year (Kutaisi Airport).

A coast wedding for 30 to 50 guests starts at about 5,000 USD as an agency package; a two-night mountain weekend for 30 guests at Glamping Tago, with everyone sleeping on site and every meal for everyone, lands around 27,300 GEL at our own 2026 prices. The two numbers buy very different things: one evening in town against two nights, four meals and a bed for every guest.

2026 prices

Two outside benchmarks. Be Loved Weddings puts a wedding on the Adjara coast at from 1,500 USD for up to 10 people, from 5,000 USD for 30-50 guests and from 10,000 USD for 100 or more, covering venue, decor, host, photographer, video, music, menu and transport. Eventive puts 20-50 guests anywhere in Georgia at 4,000 to 10,000 USD, a banquet at 40 to 150 USD a guest, and adds 15-25% for a mountain location, which is a fair description of what the transfers above cost. LETO starts a Batumi wedding at 2,300 USD and Peony a sea wedding at 2,000 USD, before the dinner.

What the vendors cost: our team collected 2026 quotes from the photographers, videographers, hosts, DJs and stylists who work in Batumi and Adjara. Most entry packages fall in the bars below; the right end is the typical top package.

Two vendors who have worked at Glamping Tago:

Here is the mountain side worked all the way through, for 30 guests over two nights in September at our own 2026 prices:

That is two nights, four meals and a bed on the ridge for everyone, before drinks, photography and video. It sits inside our own guide figure of 5,000 to 15,000 USD for a 30-guest wedding including dinner, breakfast and accommodation, depending on the season and the decor.

High season books out 6 to 12 months ahead on both sides of the region, and the order matters more than the lead time, because three of these steps depend on each other. Eventive puts venue bookings at 6 to 8 months ahead for May-June and September-October.

1. Date and venue together. June to September needs 6 to 12 months; April, May and October are more relaxed. A 30% prepayment confirms the date with us and is non-refundable.
2. The registration slot. Apply within the two months before the date (an application stays valid for two months), and fix the date before guests book flights, because the date and place go into the application.
3. Insurance for every guest. Into the invitation, with the 30,000 GEL minimum spelled out.
4. Transfers. As soon as you know roughly how many guests and which airport. This is the line couples most often leave until last and most often get wrong.
5. Vendors. Photographer, host, DJ, decor. Budget each one's ride to the venue as well as the fee.
6. The programme, timeline, vendor list and mood board, 30 days out.
7. Final food count, 7 days out. The number of tents is fixed when you book the whole camp; the headcount for the kitchen locks a week before.

• No roof plan in September. The month is beautiful and it brings Batumi 228 mm of rain in heavy bursts. Both sides of the region need a covered fallback that is booked.
• Leaving the registration to the last days. A weekend registration at your venue needs the application at least a day ahead; apply as soon as you are inside the two-month window, and remember that Batumi has lost its Wedding House.
• Guests in normal cars. The last stretch to a village above Khulo takes 4x4s and minibuses. A hired sedan will not make it, and a 50-seat coach will not either.
• Vendors' transport left out of the budget. A photographer, a DJ, a host and a stylist each charging the ride to the mountains adds up to more than most couples expect, which is why pooling them into one car matters.
• 02:00 taxis back to Batumi. A mountain wedding works because everyone sleeps where they celebrate. If you marry on the coast at a venue outside town, plan the way your guests get home before you book it.
• Believing the cable car runs. It does not.
• Trusting the drive time on the map. Add 30 minutes.

Yes, and it works cleanly in one direction: coast first, mountains second. Guests land in Batumi and spend the first night on the coast, where the hotels and the airport are. The registration happens at a House of Justice branch on a weekday morning, or the registrar comes up to the venue instead. Then the convoy drives inland.

The one stop that costs almost nothing is Makhuntseti: 3.9 km and 10 minutes of detour for a waterfall and a Queen Tamar bridge that guests will photograph for longer than you plan. Then the wedding weekend happens up the hill, and after the Sunday brunch the cars go back down so the guests who want the sea get two days of beach at the end.

The day after the wedding has an obvious answer up here too: Green Lake, 39.9 km from the camp, makes a half-day jeep trip rather than the long round trip it is from Batumi. Our full guide is at Green Lake.

• Choose the coast if your guest list is over 100, if every guest needs a hotel bathroom, if you are marrying in April or May when the hills are still cold at night, or if a formal ballroom dinner is the picture in your head.
• Choose the mountains if your list is about 30, if you are marrying between June and mid-October, if you want two or three days rather than one evening, and if nobody in the party objects to a 4x4 and a cool night.
• Choose both if your guests are flying a long way: the coast for arrival and recovery, the mountains for the wedding itself, the coast again for the beach at the end.
• Choose September in the mountains over September on the coast if you want the settled late-season weather. It is the month where the two sides of Adjara differ most.

Glamping Tago for this

A mountain wedding weekend at Glamping Tago

We are Jonas and Lisa, a Belgian couple who fell in love with Georgia and opened Glamping Tago in 2021. Glamping Tago is made for weddings of about 30 guests: the whole place belongs to one wedding and everyone sleeps on site, on the ridge above Village Tago at 1,200 m, about two hours from Batumi. You book the whole camp for two nights or more, so the wedding is a weekend with your people rather than an evening in a room.

The ceremony happens in the forest clearing, at the valley overlook or at the highland Otsinari lake half an hour away. Dinner is in the 150 m2 event tent, whose sides close when the weather turns, and the party moves into Yurtalicious, our warm yurt restaurant, at midnight.

Plan it the way that suits you: venue only, with our guide to vetted vendors, is free; our partner planner Iremi Wedding can plan it for their own fee; or we coordinate everything for a fixed 2,000 GEL. Every space, price and timeline is on the wedding organizer guide.
