9 of the Best Breathtaking Wedding Venues in Croatia
A destination that is becoming increasingly popular for weddings, Croatia is filled to the brim with stunning seaside views, historical buildings, castles and fortress, along with plenty of pretty hidden gardens and caves. Just a two and a half hour flight from both the UK and Ireland, it’s also a really accessible destination wedding option too, and we especially love the fact that civil ceremonies can take place in almost any location here. Typically the best months to get married in Croatia are June, September and October, when the temperatures are warm but not too baking hot.
With a wide variety of lovely venues available, we’ve rounded up 9 of our current favourites below.
