Hello Crystalone,

I was with my boyfriend in Dubrovnik last September and it is a truly stunning city and definitely very, very romantic, and I'm not the soppy type. We arrived at dusk and stepping into the Old Town was breaktaking for two weary travellers.

There's a very old Franciscan church just inside the gates of the Old Town...any good guide book should have pictures, the church has 7 beautiful side altars along with a stunning main altar. You'd have to check out if they do weddings.

There is only one hotel in the Old Town the Pucic Palace and I believe it is at the higher end of the market, but I guess that depends on your budget. Other hotels worth a look and just outside the city walls are the Argentina the Excelsior and the Hilton. The Atlas Club Nautika restaurant serves a memorable meal with their dining area overlooking the crystal blue water, (you can see the fish from where you're sitting) overlooking the City Walls.

I can definitely recommend it, great choice for a wedding.

Regards,

Ann

Hi crystalone

Well did you/are you doing a Dubrovnik wedding ? We are thinking about doing something similar and just wondered if you had any info/advice.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

sorry for the late reply, just got back from my honeymoon!!

Yes we got married in Dubrovnik on the 20th of July and i must say we had the time of our lives. I would strongly recomend it to anybody. We came back so relaxed and stressfree. Ok here's a bit more info.

We booked our wedding through a travel agency in cork so everything was set up for us before we arrived. We just had to supply our birth,and confirmation cert to the travel agent. Forms had to be signed and sent to Dublin but this was hangled by the travel agency. We flew out on the Sunday and met the wedding cordanator on the Monday. She brought us to the town hall and one peice of paper had to be signed. That the civel part done. We then went looking at flowers and got them sorted in a half hour. By the way they looked lovely, just what i had asked for.

We got married in St Blaise chuch in the old town of Dubrovnik. Its in the middle of the old town square and its such a pretty church. We were married by a lovely English speaking priest. The church was closed just for our wedding so that alot of tourists would not wonder in. We were offered a long or short cernomie and went for the half hour. It was just what we were looking for as because of the heat we did not want to be stuck indoors for to long. It really just the same as a church wedding here at home but shorter. The same vowes are made and the same readings.

Oh forgot to say we stayed in the Excelsior Hotel and it was out of this world. They really pulled out all the stops to welcome us with wine in our room every day and chocolates and fruit. The view from the hotel was also lovely as was the delicious food. You were spoilt for choice with the number of cafes and restraunts in the hotel. It was also in walking distance of the town so we walked to the church on the day of the wedding. I was also able to get my hair done in the hotel which saved alot of time and hassel

After the wedding cermonie we went to the Nautika Restraunt for a meal and everything we heard about this place was true. The food, the view the people. It was a lovely place to mark such a happy occation.

Dont know what more to say!!! If you want to contact me again and ask some question i would be happy to answer them. Also have some lovely photoes i could show you.

Take care

Thanks for that Crystalone, Glad you had such a great experience ! We went ahead and are due to get married in Dubrovnik mid Sept. Have an organiser doing the same sort of thing as yours and will be heading to the Nautica as well. Really looking forward to it , even more now that your wedding was such a success !

All the best for your future !!
