01 Apr How to Organise a Galleon Wedding
Everyone knows about a castle wedding, but – a galleon wedding? If you’re thinking about some unusual, off-the-beaten-track yet elegant outdoor wedding venue, you might consider a maritime gem of Dubrovnik, one and the only Galleon Tirena. Not a movie scenery, but a real, times-of-yore galleon that can sail wherever you want, Galleon Tirena will set apart your big day. Graceful and evocative, this accurate 100% accurate replica of the 16th century Dubrovnik galleon is a true child of the Renaissance. Playful, yet strong, Tirena is a love poem to life itself, fittingly named after a gorgeous maiden fairy from the famous Croatian Renaissance romantic drama.
NOTHING SAYS ROMANCE LIKE THE SEA
Tying a knot against the backdrop of the cerulean Adriatic Sea is much more than a pretty picture. The striking presence and scent of the sea and the wonderful southern sunlight make up a natural stage that is hard to beat Tirena might be just the right place for the brides considering a micro-weeding venue that also doubles as an outdoor event venue. A romantic galleon wedding is as distinct as it gets!
WHAT’S IT LIKE TO HAVE A WEDDING CELEBRATION ABOARD A GALLEON?
Ready to step up your plans of a dream seaside wedding, your big day caressed by salty breezes and shimmering sea waves? If you’ve considered a romantic beach wedding or nautical wedding aboard a cruise ship, take a minute and see how a galleon wedding can give you all of that and more. The magical atmosphere, straight out of fairy tales or history movies, is yours to do whatever you desire with it. Add top-notch catering, the couple and their guests dancing on Tirena’s party-perfect decks to the tunes of DJ or saxophone, toasting with champagne and sparkling wine – and you’ll get the picture.
GALLEON WEDDING MEANS FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT
Galleon Tirena expands your wedding options in some wonderful ways. A unique outdoor wedding and event venue in Dubrovnik, this amazing tall ship can move around, giving your wedding reception as many spectacular backdrops as you like. Tirena can anchor in front of epic Old City walls, or sail to the “Love Island“ of Lokrum, for either ceremony or reception. She can take you to the magical islands of Mljet or Lopud which also offer various wedding venues.
In short, Tirena maximizes your wedding options. Brides who want a religious ceremony can pick up among the amazing old churches of Dubrovnik and then quickly transfer aboard to Galleon Tirena for a photo session and reception. Or vice versa – after tying a knot aboard Tirena, the entire wedding party might relocate to one of Dubrovnik palaces or other venues for a wedding reception.
WHAT IF IT RAINS?
Dubrovnik has a very sunny and dry climate during the warmer seasons, perfect for outdoor parties and wedding photo sessions. Being an outdoor wedding venue, Galleon Tirena has protection from the lighter rain. However, in the unlikely case of really bad weather, the entire party can quickly relocate to the chosen nearby backup wedding venue. Dubrovnik has plenty of party venue hire options, grand ballrooms, and small banquet halls, for all tastes and all party sizes. With help from our organizers, your wedding party will proceed so smoothly that you will not even notice it.
