When we talk about wedding venues in Croatia, we first need to discuss it’s regions. In the world of wedding planning we divide Croatian regions a bit differently then they are officially divided. Each region has it’s own pro’s and con’s, and when you’re choosing your perfect wedding venue in Croatia, you should first choose the region that fits your vision the best.
We divide the Dalmacija region into two categories. The coast and the islands.
With two airports at your desposal you can fly into the town of Split or into the town of Zadar. If you opt. for an island wedding, depending on the island you would hop onto a ferry in one of these towns.
The region offers a wide range of wedding venues in Croatia. All you need to do is pick the style you like, and we will do the rest.
Pro’s of the region:
Everything is close. You can have a wedding on the coast, and then organise a trip to the islands or vice versa.
The region is sunny, fun, full of good food and colorful locals.
Con’s of the region:
It can get pretty crowded in the season. Some venues are pretty booked out, so in some cases the planning needs to start earlier.
