There are so many places to choose from when planning a destination wedding and you’re probably wondering why Trogir should be on that list. How about we give you a few reasons why it should be, not just on your list, but one of the top choices in general? Just hear us out!
When you imagine your wedding day, you want it to be perfect – perfect to the detail (which if we’re being honest, is all about the details). What if we told you that Trogir is the perfect detail – just by being Trogir. If you let yourself peel away from what is expected and embrace a different perspective, you can see all the beauty that lies in the old coble stone streets, centuries old buildings, the sea, the beaches, the smell of salt, the stunning sunset. You can choose all this to be the theme of your wedding.
The “Trogir” detail
Here in Trogir you can go from boho style, barefoot on the beach, sailing in the sunset wedding to saying your “I do’s” standing in a 600years old courtyard which once upon a time, was only for the noble families. On the cliff sides of the island Čiovo, there is a small monastery which was built by hermits in 1546 AD and looks upon the islands Brač and Šolta totally secluded from the world, can you picture this venue? You can be surrounded by your family in the cathedral of St. Lawrence; imagine walking down the aisle with music from the church organs that still has parts in its machinery from the 18th century. Maybe the idea of a fortress built in the 15th century is the place where you want to exchange vows with your partner and start your married life. Literally under the stars, fenced with medieval walls,you can dance away your night.
Even if you set aside all the history and truly unique settings, there are still places to choose from that will blow you away! How about a wedding in a vineyard looking upon Trogir? Maybe you want a small secluded Mediterranean vibe wedding, how about an olive garden? There are so many olive gardens in the area that are part of rental homes and villas. You can set sail for the Drvenik Islands and have your first dance at sunset in the famous Blue Lagoon. Oh, the beauty!
Aside from the, not-your-usual-style-venue wedding, you can always choose a hotel or a restaurant for your day. A variety of full service hotels, so that you won’t even have to leave the premises and still get the full package of the sun, sea and sunset: beach side weddings, pools, five course meals, high class service, because the “Trogir”’ detail isn’t only about being in Trogir but what comes with being in Trogir -the food, the people, the ambiance, the sun, the air.
Maybe you’ve done it all before, you had your wedding, but you want to mark the achievement of keeping your love alive, the crown to conquering all the milestones of your life together and you want to renew your vows, can you imagine doing it on a beach during sunset with all the people who have in one way or another helped you get here, to this point in life, to this spot? So many possibilities.

A few tips for you when planning a wedding in Trogir:
Do so in advance, especially if you’re planning a summer wedding because venues, churches, bands and photographers are booked up to six months in advance. Event planning agencies can take care of anything you wish them to. From just being there to communicate with locals to planning with you every fine detail.
Find local help, specifically if language is a barrier – getting paperwork done is something you will need help with. Also, someone who knows the people and venues will have a few tricks up their sleeves to make it an easier process.
Certain permits will be necessary if you decide to use a historical site so keep in mind that some have a wait limit so once you choose a venue, try and stick to it.
Support local small businesses because this way you will get the most value. We take our hospitality seriously so we make it our job to do our best.
Stop for a moment. Close your eyes. Can you imagine any of it? If we got a smile out of you, then you can definitely put Trogir on your list.
