Fairytale Weddings in Montenegro

Getting Married Abroad

When it comes to Montenegro, it is one of Europe's best-kept secrets. Not only speaking in terms of its wild beauty and tourism potential but also when we speak about its size and population, many people have never heard of Montenegro, let alone know where is located.  This is sad in a way because this hidden gem can give you much more than you thought. It's not just it's perfect for vacation, exploring and travelling, it can also be a top spot for many other things, including a perfect destination for your wedding. Whether it's church or civil wedding (or both), you wont regret choosing Montenegro, because besides of wonderful places perfect for the venue, Montenegro has many churches and monasteries.  We will try to list some of the best places for a wedding ceremony and reception and help you out if you plan on getting married in our country.

First, we will start with a bit of bureaucracy. To get married in Montenegro there are no residency requirements. What you need to obtain is the Certificate of No Impediment which states that it is legally possible for you and your partner to marry. This Certificate is obtained from the local registry office in your home country. If that document is not issued in your country (e.g. the USA), then you should contact the Embassy or the Consulate of the country. Besides, you need to submit your passport and passports of your witnesses, birth certificate, the Certificate of No Impediment, Divorce certificate (if necessary from a previous marriage), Death certificate (if you have been widowed), and you need to pay a required fee. All these documents must be translated by an official translator and stamped with an apostille and must be submitted at least 7 days before the ceremony, together with the notice that you want to get married. The legal age for marriage is 18 years for both men and women. Otherwise, you need your parents' consent.
 


 


Sveti Stefan

Now, we will begin with the most popular travel city in Montenegro, Budva and say that Sveti Stefan is definitely a great choice if not the number one choice for those who plan to get married in loads of luxury and extravagance. The island is closed for visitors so if you're planning a romantic and intimate ceremony then look no further. Your wedding setting will be even more gorgeous with the natural vegetation of the island that fits perfectly with the elegance of the reception. Back in 2014, this was the spot for Novak Djokovic's wedding too. A famous tennis player said yes to his high-school sweetheart Jelena and it looked like a fairytale. Besides looking gorgeous, this couple gave a great influence in promoting Sveti Stefan and Montenegro and it was pretty amazing! See more here.
