Our unforgettable moments
Salty Garden: A unique wedding venue in Georgia
Operating season: Warm months
Salty Garden is a premier choice for international couples seeking an authentic outdoor wedding experience rather than a cookie-cutter hotel ballroom. This glamping villa is situated in the foothills of the Caucasus (Mtskheta-Mtianeti region), right by the shores of Lake Bazaleti. Far from the city noise, the site offers a 360-degree panoramic view and air thick with the scent of wild herbs. As a seasonal venue, it truly shines during the warmer months, providing the perfect setting for a turnkey destination wedding. Despite its secluded, retreat-like feel, Salty Garden is located just 50 km from Tbilisi. It’s an ideal solution for a wedding abroad: your guests can reach the venue in about an hour (66 km from Tbilisi Airport) without the fatigue of long mountain drives. You get the tranquility of a private estate within a short drive of the capital, seamlessly blending city logistics with the raw aesthetic of the highlands.
Wedding ceremonies at Salty Garden
At Kate&Co Weddings, we leverage the versatility of this location to offer couples flexible celebration scenarios:
- Official marriage with a mountain view. We can organize an on-site civil ceremony with a government registrar right at the venue. You exchange vows against the backdrop of the Caucasus, receiving a fully legal marriage certificate surrounded by the most cinematic scenery in the country.
- Symbolic ceremonies. For those who prefer to sign official papers in Tbilisi, Salty Garden serves as the ultimate heart of the celebration. The expansive open-air grounds allow for a seamless flow for up to 100 guests, with custom zoning options – from a breathtaking ceremony arch to dedicated lounge areas and large-scale receptions.
Salty Garden solves the main challenge of summer weddings: the stuffiness of indoor venues. Here, the space works for you – with a fresh mountain breeze, ample room for interactive entertainment, and the freedom to dance under the stars without restriction. It is a format where guest comfort and visual aesthetics exist in perfect balance.
