Lake Wörthersee

Couples considering getting married in Austria, particularly in summer, should consider Carinthia (Kärnten), the southernmost part of Austria where the wonderful Wörthersee is located. Stretching from Klagenfurt in the south to Velden in the north, this is THE place frequented by those who enjoy watersports, swimming or just soaking up the sun.

Here it is possible to hire one of the boats which regularly ply the lake and to use it not only for purpose of the wedding ceremony – the Registrar being quite happy to conduct the ceremony ‘on board’ – but also for other celebratory functions, which can continue after dark (by arrangement).

We are pleased to welcome Peter Ross, a long time resident of Klagenfurt, who comes from Isle of wight, as our resident wedding organiser. With many years experience in the travel industry, Peter,using his local knowledge and expertise, will advise not only on this area, but also on Lakes Ossiachersee, Millstattersee and some of the smaller and lesser known lakes of the Region. Co-operation with Velden's own local wedding planner is available if required. This Region of Kaernten has so many possibilities which are different to other parts of Austria.
