Getting Married in Austria: The Nine Regions

Burgenland

The above-average number of sunny days in Burgenland creates a Mediterranean climate, spectacular natural scenery, and a dreamlike setting for summer weddings—whether at a winery, on Lake Neusiedl, or in one of the beautiful castles and palaces.

Tyrol

The heart of the Alps attracts over 10 million tourists each year and is a popular wedding destination for couples from all over the world, not only during the snowy winter months but also in the summer. The magnificent views of rugged mountains and imposing glaciers captivate everyone, and Tyrol is also known for its outstanding hospitality.

Vorarlberg

Austria's westernmost state has an extraordinary amount to offer, especially in terms of scenery: from towering mountains to lush green valleys and all the way to Lake Constance, there are plenty of wonderful spots here to discover for the perfect wedding.

Vienna

Couples from all over the world flock to Vienna to celebrate the wedding of their dreams. For one thing, the city is the perfect setting for fairytale weddings reminiscent of the imperial era, since nowhere else in Austria are there so many castles and palaces. But Vienna also has plenty of venues for simple, cool weddings, of course.

Upper Austria

The scenically diverse region of Upper Austria is not only rich in crystal-clear lakes, invigorating forests, and majestic peaks, but also boasts many romantic towns, all of which impress with their historic architecture.

Salzburg

With its stunning castles and palaces, this historic metropolis of art and culture offers the perfect wedding venues for a true fairytale wedding. But the Salzburg region surrounding the state capital also has plenty of beautiful backdrops in store for your special day.

Styria

Styria is the dream destination for nature-loving couples—after all, it is Austria’s most forested and fertile state. It’s no wonder the region is also called the “green heart of Austria.” Surrounded by orchards, vineyards, waterfalls, meadows, pastures, thermal springs, mountain peaks, and alpine pastures, it’s a wonderful place to get married.

Lower Austria

Austria’s largest state by area is rich in places of spiritual power, natural caves, and vineyards, and is home to an incredible number of monasteries, castles, and abbeys. In terms of scenery, the region is characterized above all by the magnificent flatlands along the Danube, which offer a seemingly endless view of nature.

Carinthia

Carinthia is located in southern Austria, on the border with Italy and Slovenia. While the numerous lakes in Carinthia are perfect for beach-style weddings, the mountains surrounding the Klagenfurt Basin offer ideal conditions for a cozy winter wedding.
