The government hall and on-site choice of a place for registration is available for you. This means you will have a government hall and then an outside choice to get married.

Tbilisi's Official Venues: The Request of the City

Tbilisi, our energetic capital city, is full of a number of the varied marriage registration locations. Available are such venues as governmental ones for uncomplicated brigadiers, and those less- formal who want their rituals in a more traditional manner.

The Public Service Hall of the House of Justice

Famous for its many facilities to serve the public, the House of Justice in Tbilisi is the place where a great number of couples from around the world start their wedding journey. It also acts as a marriage registration center.

• Common Hall Registration This is the cheapest option as the registration itself is for free. However, the environment is absolutely functional. You will be taking a queue ticket, giving your documents, and signing at the operator window. During peak hours, it can take 4-5 hours, and the essential things like the real ceremony atmosphere or proper photography are left out. Basically, it is just a "get it done" option.
• Just Cafe Service A complimentary alternative with free access to Just Cafe. In addition to that, you can enjoy the registration by which you barely notice that you are fulfilling the office's procedures. Although the service is free, you are required to order something from the cafe menu.

You can hold your ceremony in a historical site and benefit from our sister organization, Ori Wedding, as they have the right to book the time here at their preference because of our long-standing cooperation.
• ZAGS Uznadze This ZAGS greets couples at Uznadze St. 2, every Wednesday to Sunday. Its team comprising Tamta, Tamo, Tamro, and Eka is well-known for their readiness to help, even processing same-day applications when needed. They are lifesavers for those cases that need to be processed on time.

The beauty of Georgia extends well beyond the center, so do your options to register your marriage in the beautiful regions of the country. There are numerous lovely fast-growing towns, each Boggitor with different and charming settings.

Give Yourself the Gift of an Unforgettable Setting: On-Site Ceremonies

One of the best offerings that Georgia has is the possibility of an "On-site Registration" (Выездная регистрация). This option allows a registrar to assist you at almost any place you can think of in Georgia, thus your dreams of a wedding become a beautiful reality.

You can visualize your vows being exchanged near a traditional cellar with a kvevri, at a clifftop monastery, by a luxurious hotel, or amid the wonderful view of high mountains. In addition, this option is suitable for couples who intend to combine both the ceremony and reception at one venue.

• Main Requirements To have an on-site ceremony, you have to specify the exact location, date, and time in your application. Avoid making changes to your application form once you submit it, as it would be extremely hard. The registrar's fee usually varies between 170 and 255 GEL, depending on the region.
• Weather Advisory When going for outdoor mountain locations it is wise to take into account the weather conditions. Registration will not be cancelled because of rain or unexpected weather. In my opinion, many couples are now preferring to register their marriage in a Tbilisi ZAGS and after that, they have a symbolic celebration at their chosen mountain. Thus, they get the best of both worlds: legal certainty and a spectacular place like mountains without fear of bad weather.
