Wedding in Tyrol – pure Alpine romance!

Anyone who has ever been to Tyrol will remember the beautiful mountain scenery above all else. The Tyrolean mountains are unique: with more than 500 three-thousand-meter peaks and over 600 different glaciers, they are world-famous. The main Alpine ridge runs through the western part of the state and also brings with it the characteristic green alpine pastures with rural huts and cozy inns. In addition to old Tyrolean customs such as cattle drives, Klaubaufgehen or Perchtenlauf, there is also a top-class cultural scene from Landeck to Kufstein and to Lienz, as well as in the state capital Innsbruck or the legendary Kitzbühel. Franz Defregger and Max Weiler are artists known beyond the Tyrolean borders. Tyrol offers countless opportunities for winter sports and alpine summer activities such as hiking, mountain biking - or: getting married! :)

Getting married in Tyrol: Churches and locations for civil weddings

If you are looking for a dream wedding church in Tyrol, you have a large selection. In Innsbruck and the surrounding area, for example, the parish church in Ampass, the Cathedral of St. Jakob in Innsbruck, the Silver Chapel of the Hofkirche in Innsbruck or the parish church in Axams are very popular. Ampass is located on a hill in the forest and offers a wonderful view - pure romance. The magnificent cathedral in Innsbruck is particularly suitable for larger wedding parties. The parish church in Axams, with five valuable altars, is one of the oldest and most beautiful churches in the country. Seefeld is also becoming increasingly popular as a place to say "I do". The centuries-old Seefeld landmark, the white Seekirchl , offers a particularly intimate atmosphere with its frescoes. The pilgrimage church of St. Oswald also enchants with its Gothic architecture and Baroque chapel and is one of the most beautiful wedding churches in Tyrol. If you are getting married in eastern Tyrol, you can, for example, get married in the castle chapel in Kufstein and then celebrate exuberantly in the castle gardens or the Kufstein Fortress. If you don't want to get married in a traditional registry office, you can book the Kufstein Fortress for a civil or non-denominational wedding.

Wedding locations Tyrol - from Alpine romance to glittering world

Tyrolean hospitality is well known and the many mountain huts, such as the Rössl Alm in Gerlos or the Alpenhaus on the Kitzbüheler Horn, offer a rustic ambience for weddings in the Tyrolean mountains. But modern hotels in Innsbruck, Seefeld and other Tyrolean hotspots are also available. If you are looking for an unusual wedding location in Tyrol, you should take a look at the Swarovski Crystal Worlds for your wedding celebration. Weddings at Igls Castle are also very popular - there are wonderful options for your dream day both outdoors and inside the castle.

Tyrolean wedding customs

The Tyroleans are known for a certain amount of "rusticness" - so one or two wedding customs are a must. For example, anyone getting married in Tyrol should definitely be able to use a saw! In some places, the bride and groom's path to the wedding is blocked by a tree trunk. Only when the bride and groom cut through the tree trunk together with a saw can they continue on to their celebration. Have fun!
