Best Destination Weddings, Europe and the World: The Most Beautiful Location
Provence, Santorini, Lake Como – beautiful but they’ve been done so many times before. For the best destination weddings in Europe and the world now, Lake Bled in Slovenia is the place to go.
It’s fresh, exciting, dazzling, unique, atmospheric and so romantic.
Where else could you marry in a pretty, white ancient church which sits in the middle of a jewel-blue lake? Imagine a church on its own island blooming with botanicals, its dove grey stone steps rising from the waters – a thing of fairytales whether you wed, elope or propose. Lush green forests and parks encircle the lake, interspersed here and there with luxury destination wedding venues of every kind. Here you are cocooned in the type of alpine landscape that’s rich in fresh mountain air, rousing vistas and a serenity which can only come from being so close to water.
Yes truly, Conde Nast Traveller is never wrong. Conde Nast Traveller recently named Lake Bled in its famous list of best locations in the world for a destination wedding.

Alternatively, you could head further up into the alps in spring or summer, or the slopes in winter and exchange your vows in the midst of the serene Bohinj Valley or amongst its snow-topped peaks.
Unique experiences are in ready supply. Take a trip across Lake Bled in a wooden pletna boat with you and yours or your bridal party. Head to the church in the middle of the lake to ring the bell for good luck as is tradition or take a cruise around the lake. And that’s just the beginning because I’m here to help to plan it all for you – exactly as you want. Lake Bled has been a global destination for centuries.

CNN reporter Joe Minihane wrote the following in March 2023: “The glistening blue water. The soaring backdrop of the Julian Alps. The famous church perched on an island at its center. It’s no surprise that Lake Bled has developed into one of the hottest destinations in Europe in recent years. That means big crowds in summer, but don’t be put off. Ripe for hiking and swimming adventures, this is a corner of Slovenia that demands to be explored.”
