Based between the historic heart of Salzburg and London, I bridge the gap for international couples seeking a refined luxury experience in the Austrian Alps.

Whether you dream of a grand entrance at Schloss Leopoldskron, pure luxury at the Rosewood Schloss Fuschl, a romantic 'Sound of Music' ceremony at Mirabell Palace, or a private luxury elopement overlooking the Salzach River, my local expertise is your greatest asset. With 20 years of international event experience and deep-rooted connections with Salzburg’s finest florists, photographers, and hidden-gem venues, I navigate the local logistics, language, and legalities so you don't have to.

Frequently Asked Questions: Planning Your Salzburg Wedding

1. Can we legally get married in Salzburg as foreigners? Yes, absolutely! International couples can legally marry in Austria. The only legally binding ceremony is a civil ceremony performed by a registrar (Standesamt). In Salzburg, the most famous location for this is the Marble Hall in Mirabell Palace. I assist all my clients with the document translation and legal paperwork to ensure your marriage is recognized in your home country.

2. How far in advance should we start planning a destination wedding in Salzburg? For popular luxury venues like Schloss Leopoldskron or Hotel Sacher, I recommend booking 12 to 18 months in advance, especially for Saturday dates in the summer. If you are planning an intimate elopement, a lead time of 4 to 6 months is usually sufficient.

3. What are the best wedding venues in Salzburg? Salzburg offers a stunning variety of venues:

Palatial Luxury: Schloss Leopoldskron, Rosewood Schloss Fuschl and Schloss Mönchstein.

Classic Elegance: Mirabell Palace and the Kavalierhaus Klessheim.

Alpine Charm: Luxury huts and mountain resorts in the nearby Salzburgerland (only 30–40 mins from the city).

Historic City Vibes: St. Peter Stiftskulinarium (the world's oldest restaurant).

4. Do we need a German translator for our Salzburg wedding ceremony? If you do not speak German, a certified court interpreter is legally required for the civil ceremony at the registry office. As your planner, I arrange for a professional interpreter so you can focus entirely on your vows.

5. What is the best month to get married in the Salzburg region?

June to September: Ideal for garden ceremonies and warm "Sound of Music" vibes.

December: Magical for "Winter Wonderland" weddings amidst Salzburg’s world-famous Christmas markets.

May & October: "Shoulder season" beauty with fewer tourists and stunning spring blooms or autumn colors.

6. Can we have a symbolic ceremony or a religious blessing in Salzburg? Yes! Many couples choose to do the legal paperwork quickly at the Standesamt and then have a grand symbolic ceremony or a religious blessing in one of Salzburg’s historic churches or a private palace garden. This allows for more personalization and your own chosen music and vows.
