Wedding in Bulgaria and why would you need a wedding planner

Bulgaria is becoming more and more popular among the list of countries to visit and get married. With ancient mountains like Rila, Pirin and Vitosha which, by the way is located right next to the capital Sofia, it offers a unique experience for the ones that decide to get married here. It has the black sea located at only 400 km away from Sofia. Accessible by plane in both Varna and Burgas international airports. All of the above is highlighted by the friendly locals, easy access and breathtaking locations that could be used as a set-up for the wedding of your dreams.

When facing such an adventure in a completely unknown and foreign country, the best thing you can do is get the assistance of a professional wedding planner. The wedding planner will facilitate the entire process of planning the wedding, as well as explain all local law requirements to execute the wedding accordingly.

Wedding in Bulgaria what you must know

In accordance to Bulgarian code, there are two main types of marriages and only one of them is considered legal. The one recognized as legal by the law is the civil marriage. The religious ceremony, which is the second type of ceremony performed locally, has no legal status.

A civil marriage is usually recognized by foreign countries, however we recommend that a verification is made with the authorities of the respective country. In some situations, an annex issued by the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs could be required. That requires that some of the documents might need to be translated. Which is another reason to plan everything with enough time in advance, and we strongly recommend you to plan at least 4 to 5 months prior to the wedding itself.

How to organize a wedding in Bulgaria

One of the first problems you will encounter is the question, which of the local vendors are trustworthy. Which is another reason towards booking the wedding planner, as each reputable wedding planner would have a dedicated portfolio of all the a-list vendors that you can hire.

The wedding planner is the person that could wrap up the entire event and keep it within the dedicate budget, so that you could take care of the more important things and have some quality time to explore the new country rather than become strangled with the language barrier and all the difficulties surrounding a wedding preparation.

We will make sure to have a dedicated person that will assist you with the translation all the way and will be there for you to answer all your questions regarding the different stages of the wedding event.

Find your wedding planner in Bulgaria

We can arrange a visit to your preferred vendors prior to booking them so that you could experience the atmosphere, the service, the food and everything that’s important for you, so that you could feel comfortable all the way until the wedding event itself. By doing so, you will get the best service possible and there won’t be any unpleasant surprises that could ruin the wedding of your dreams.

On the wedding day itself, our wedding planner will navigate the entire event and manage it from start to finish. He’ll take care of all the different venues during the day, organize the different vendors and show them around. He will facilitate the entire celebration and make sure to react on the spot in a case of any unexpected changes. At the end of the day, hiring a wedding planner in a foreign country will save you money, rather than bring the total costs up.
