Salzburg

Marriages take place on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays in the Marble Hall of the Mirabell Palace, set in the beautiful Mirabell Gardens in the centre of Salzburg. Couples come from all over the world to get married here. This is the official ‘Registry Office Salon’ so no hiring fee is payable!

Bookings may only be made 6 months in advance. But do not delay, or you may be disappointed. Receptions vary from a superb lunch for two at a venue of your choice, to an evening event at St.Peters Stiftskeller, incorporating a Mozart Dinner Concert. In these cases, couples often take their guests for coffee and cakes immediately after the ceremony – an Austrian tradition – or this may follow the traditional horse and carriage tour through the Altstadt.

There are many ‘follow on’ possibilities: e.g. ‘Sound of Music Tour’ which takes place twice daily throughout the year. For those who wish to have a ‘non-Catholic’ service or ‘blessing’ to follow the civil ceremony, there is a Protestant church immediately opposite Mirabell, where this can be arranged, using an ‘English-speaking’ minister.
