The Complete Guide for International Couples

Everything you need to know about legal weddings in Georgia — fast, affordable, and subject to recognition in the country where it will be used.

Who Can Marry in Georgia

Couples must also check whether the marriage will be recognised, registered or accepted for immigration purposes in every country where they intend to use it.

Georgia, nestled between Europe and Asia, has become one of the most popular destinations for couples seeking a quick, legal, and internationally recognized wedding. With breathtaking scenery from the Caucasus Mountains to the vineyards of Kakheti, Georgia offers romance, charm, and great value for money.
