Lake Bohinj Wedding
A Lake Bohinj wedding is ideal for couples who want a quieter, more natural setting surrounded by the untouched beauty of Triglav National Park. Unlike the more iconic and busy Lake Bled, Bohinj offers a peaceful atmosphere with panoramic views of forests, mountains, and crystal-clear water.
Ceremonies can take place on nearby meadows, in charming villas, or at local boutique hotels that offer private outdoor terraces with lake and mountain views. The area is perfect for intimate celebrations, relaxed gatherings, and adventure-minded couples who want a wedding weekend filled with hiking, kayaking, or simply enjoying the calm of the Julian Alps.

The area around Lake Bohinj is one of the best wedding destinations in Slovenia for intimate elopements and small celebrations. With its pristine alpine setting, it offers one of the most serene and unspoiled backdrops. Because Lake Bohinj sits within Triglav National Park, the shoreline is protected, and ceremonies cannot take place directly at the lakeside. Instead, couples typically choose a nearby meadow with beautiful views of the lake and surrounding mountains.
Elopements in the Bohinj area are the most popular option for couples seeking simplicity and natural beauty. Most couples planning these intimate celebrations spend between €2,500 and €5,000, depending on photography packages, florist selections, and whether they include a celebratory dinner at a nearby restaurant or hotel.
Small weddings with up to 15–20 guests are also possible, though they require a bit more coordination due to the protected nature of the area. These celebrations typically involve securing a ceremony location in the meadow or another designated viewpoint, arranging transportation for guests, and booking a private dinner at one of the boutique hotels or restaurants around the lake. For these intimate celebrations, couples generally budget €6,000 to €12,000, including ceremony setup, dining, photography, and accommodation.
The exact cost of your Lake Bohinj wedding will depend on your photography choices, guest count, dining preferences, and whether you're planning a single-day celebration or a multi-day experience with activities such as hiking or boating for your guests.
Yes, Lake Bohinj is located within Triglav National Park, which means ceremonies in nature or in public areas require coordination with local authorities and sometimes special permissions.
Having me as your wedding planner, you don't have to worry about any of this, since I handle it all for you.
For peak season (June–September), we recommend booking small elopements or intimate weddings at least 6–9 months in advance to secure your preferred vendors and locations.
If you're planning a larger celebration at one of the hotels around the lake, booking 12–15 months ahead is ideal, especially for summer weekends. Off-season weddings (spring and autumn) offer much more flexibility and can often be arranged with 3–6 months' notice.
Bohinj, unlike the more crowded Lake Bled, isn’t as hectic or overbooked. If you’re flexible with dates and venues, it’s often possible to secure everything with just 2–3 months' notice, even in summer.
Lake Bohinj is perfect for creating a multi-day wedding experience. You can go for scenic hikes to Savica Waterfall or up Vogel Mountain, swim or paddleboard in the lake during summer, take rowboat or electric boat rides, ride the cable car for breathtaking views of the Julian Alps, or even try paragliding for the more adventurous couples.

Yes, a moonlit Lake Bohinj wedding creates an incredibly intimate and romantic atmosphere. I can arrange soft lighting — lanterns, candles in hurricane glasses, or string lights — that illuminate your space without disrupting the natural darkness. Full moon ceremonies are especially magical, with the moonlight reflecting on the lake's surface.
