If the sea, the sun and the wind are your elements, then at least once in the summer you must go to Liepāja . this city is special in that you can walk through the charming streets of Vecliepāja, then have lunch in an urban port promenade restaurant, experience romantic moments in Jūrmala Park, and after a while paddle barefoot on the sand of the beach. And all this - within walking distance.
Liepāja is a suitable city for a wedding if you want to be in a diverse environment on your wedding day. As you know, beach weddings are not always as perfect in reality as they are in photos - there are many factors that affect the well-being of the couple and the guests - in too hot weather and in the bright sun it will be tiring to stay on the beach in festive clothes, but in too windy weather it will be cold and it will be difficult for the guests to hear the ceremony. However, in Liepāja you can use all the advantages and comfort provided by the city, but do not give up a romantic moment by the sea and go to the beach only for a photo session. Don't worry, the presence of the sea can be felt in every city street - even the air is refreshing and slightly salty.
Wedding by the water on the Liepāja promenade
Liepāja is located between the lake and the Baltic Sea, connected in the center of the city by the Trade Canal. It is also possible to move along the canal with a raft and hold even small celebrations on it.
Although the port is also located there, its territory organically merges with the urban environment and a special atmosphere reigns around the port, where the charm of a seaside town and industrial buildings intertwine, many of which today house chic restaurants and hotels. You can organize an original photo session on the promenade of Liepāja port. The promenade starts with the marina and ends with the Pilot Tower, but along its entire length you can see the ships moored on the canal side.
There is a five-star hotel Promenade Hotel , which is located in an old harbor warehouse. this is a truly exceptional place with character to spend your wedding night. The hotel also has a Piano restaurant. In addition, Promenade Hotel also offers a special wedding offer. No less magnificent is the hotel Libava on the side of the Trade Canal, whose building was designed by the famous architect P. M. Berči, who designed the most beautiful buildings of the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries in Liepāja. However, for lovers of modern design values, we recommend planning an overnight stay at the design hotel MAESTRO.
On the promenade of the port of Liepāja, in the former buildings of a printing house, a sandal factory and a sewing workshop, the cozy Julianna's yard has settled, where today both events and restaurants and bars take place - restaurant MO Liepāja, gastrobar WOOD STOCK, modern beer cellar Miezis and Company and others. However, a little further, on the very edge of the canal, you can enjoy a meal in the restaurant Spīķeris , which is also located in an old warehouse building.
From Promenade to Jūrmala Park, you can walk along the beautiful Kūrmājas avenue, where Liepāja is no longer a port, but a resort town. Sculptures dedicated to Liepāja's national anthem "The city where the wind is born" can be seen along the entire length of Kūrmājas avenue. There is also the Liepāja Museum, which is popular with newlyweds for photo sessions because of its beautiful interior. By the way, the exhibition of old wedding dresses "A moment before" can be viewed in the museum, the arrangement of which was created by the artist Anna Heinrichsone, creating a story about the bride's special day.
If you are looking for a smaller hotel or apartments in which to stay overnight, we recommend choosing from the wide selection those located on Kūrmājas prospekt or on Dzintaru or Liepu streets closer to the park, for example Boutique Hotel Roze. There you will feel like real summer residents, you will be able to laze around in the shade of the park and in a few minutes, passing through the park, you will reach the beach.
Celebration place: HOTEL ROZE
The most romantic place in Liepāja - Gulbju dīkis - is located near Jūrmala Park itself. It is located in the place where the historical Hika and Vite streets intersect. In the middle of the swan pond is a fabulous island with a small temple-shaped gazebo, to which a bridge leads. A retro Libau Train also stops at the park, which will take you on a trip through the most beautiful streets of Vecliepāja. It will be a nice entertainment for the wedding guests while the couple is on a photo session at the Swan Pond or on the beach. But in the heart of the park is the Art Nouveau Park Pavilion - an excellent place for timeless wedding celebrations, where you will feel like visitors to a 19th century resort in its heyday.
We have reached the fine, white sand of Liepāja beach. It is easy to get to the beach from the park side, but there is a parking lot right next to the beach on the South Pier side, which makes getting to the beach on the wedding day very convenient. this is the most industrial part of the beach, but it also has its own charm. We recommend visiting the South Pier late in the evening, when the sunset is observed and the lights of the lighthouse and harbor shine brighter. However, if you plan to visit the beach during the day, take your time and refresh yourself with a drink in one of the beach cafes.
City wedding in Vecliepāja
If you do not hold the ceremony in a place of your choice, then you can get married in the registry office of the city of Liepāja, which is special with its architecture and interior of the second half of the 20th century. Going across the Tramway bridge, you can reach the Love tree, where, following tradition, you can connect your lock, because, as is known, it is not advisable to do this at the railings of the bridge.
Right next to it is the concert hall Lielais Dzintars, which you can plan as a stopping place for your wedding - from its upper floors you can look at the harbor or organize a photo session in the interior, which is permeated by warm light created by the glass of the amber-colored facade. When it comes to enjoying culture - follow the poster of the Culture House Wiktorija and Pegasus Pagalma. They are cozy cultural places where you can listen to concerts and have a drink on summer evenings.
It is not for nothing that Rožu Laukums has become a constant meeting place for Liepāja citizens - a royal oasis in the center of the city. There is also a Roman garden, where you can experience the atmosphere of Italy. In the garden of Rome there is Art Hotel Roma , where you can organize charming wedding celebrations. However, if you continue along the pedestrian-friendly Tirgoņi Street, you will come to France - feast on croissants, eclairs and macarons Boulangerie or go to the restaurant Cafe Antikvariāts .
Lovers of more unusual experiences should plan Karosta as a wedding stop. The adventure begins with crossing the Oskar Kalpak bridge - keep an eye on its opening times so you don't have to be late. Although it is also worth seeing the bridge when it opens and closes, when each of its parts turns to its side.
Once you have crossed the bridge, you will arrive at Atmodas Dārz - a newly opened cultural place, the territory of which is available for rent for various events, including wedding ceremonies and celebrations. The territory includes both the historic main building, a modern terrace with a stage, and an urban bar area.

Another part of Liepāja's architectural and industrial heritage that got a new lease of life is the Karosta water tower . An artists' residency takes place there in the summer, and it is possible to see both the inside of the water tower and the artists' workshops. This will also be an original wedding stop.
Have an active second day of the wedding and go with your guests to BB camping , where you can enjoy water pleasures in Lake Beberliņi and spend the night in bungalows and glamping tents on the water. Of course, it is also possible to spend the night here in the fresh air, in a tent or even in a hammock. There is also a wake park nearby, where you can not only practice wakeboarding, but also rent SUP boards, boats and even try water attractions.
After the ceremony, photo session and entertainment in the city, you can plan the evening celebration outside the city, on the untouched coast of the Baltic Sea. In the section Liepāja - Bernati there are quite a few guest houses for wedding celebrations. 10 km from Liepāja, upon entering Bernātis, there is a guest house Chill Inn , which is a popular place for wedding celebrations for a reason. It has a pleasant atmosphere of a seaside country house, surrounded by a charming garden and has a large ballroom with open terraces, as well as rooms for overnight stays. On Sundays, Chill Inn hosts yoga classes and a vegan brunch - it can be a great opportunity to get to know this environment and feel its atmosphere.
The young couple can spend a very special wedding night in the Onion MARE seaside cottage, which is located 20 meters from the shore and offers a unique view of the sea. this place is not intended for celebrations, so the young couple will enjoy undisturbed solitude here.
Bernātis can also be planned as a stop on the wedding day and go to the Bernātis seaside nature park, where wide wooden boardwalks have been created, on which it will be convenient to get to the sea through the dunes even in festive clothes. On the way, you can stop for delicious snacks at cafe Dzintariņš .
Photo corners and balloon decorations are made by Marble Liepāja. Make the design more airy and unusual with balloon decorations, which is relatively new for weddings in Latvia. Zane from Marble Liepāja says that it is possible to fill a larger area with balloons compared to flowers or other decorations. Or, balloon decorations can be combined with other types of decorations, for example, balloon decorations together with flowers will look especially soft and sensual. Zane mentions several options for where and how to use balloons at a wedding - for the ceremony arch, for the background behind the table of the newlyweds, for the entrance of the guest house or even to cover the entire ceiling, creating the effect of an endless cloud. They can be attached to a surface or use arches or other additional stands. In addition, with this decoration you won't have to worry about it not blooming until the next morning, because the balloons last a really long time.
