One of the most unique wedding venues in Hungary is Daalarna Garden, which offers a fairytale setting during the summer when the lavender field is in bloom. Here are all the reasons why Daalarna Garden is the perfect choice for a summer wedding!
Do you want a wedding in a natural setting near the city of Budapest, but still in the countryside, away from the noise of the Hungarian capital? Daalarna Garden could be the perfect choice for you, as the five-hectare estate has all you need to say “I do” to the love of your life in a fabulous setting. If you’re planning an outdoor ceremony and open-air celebrations on your big day, you’ve probably already considered a summer wedding, which is ideal for all of your needs. Here’s a detailed guide to why Daalarna Garden is the perfect wedding venue for the summer months!
Daalarna Garden is very easily accessible from Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport
Daalarna Garden is one of the most perfect summer wedding venues in Europe! Located only 15 km from the centre of Budapest, the capital of Hungary, and less than 40 km from Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport. This is the ideal distance for those arriving from abroad to the small but beautiful Hungary. By car, it takes just 50 minutes to reach this wonderful wedding venue from the airport, close to Budapest, yet in the countryside of Szentendre, with a wonderful view of the surrounding countryside.
However, we are pleased to announce that thanks to Szentendre’s fantastic facilities, you can reach the Daalarna Garden wedding venue not only by car or chauffeur service but also by car and boat! Szentendre, which is the home of the Daalarna Garden, can also be approached via the Danube from Budapest, which provides a very elegant and stylish entrance for the couple, as well as for the bride and groom! In addition, Szentendre also has a number of chapels, churches, and cathedrals, all just a few minutes’ drive from the Daalarna Garden. The two can be perfectly combined, but as there are so many special ceremony locations within the wedding venue itself, the wedding reception can also be held in the Daalarna Garden.
The Daalarna Garden’s one-hectare lavender plantation is so beautiful, just like the ones in Tuscany or Provence
The Daalarna Garden estate shows its most beautiful features during a summer wedding
One of the greatest features of the Daalarna Garden is the magnificent one-hectare lavender field at the entrance, which is uniquely planted in Hungary with two types of lavender seeds. One late and one very early to extend the lavender flowering season for as long as possible. Thanks to this special planting technique, the purple landscape can be enjoyed from late May until the end of July, surpassing the landscapes of Provence in the south of France and Tuscany in Italy. But in addition to the lavender field, the Daalarna Garden also has a variety of flower meadows, English parks, woods, plane tree-lined walkways and small trickling streams, which makes the estate look its best during a summer wedding!
A summer wedding at Daalarna Garden feels like you are in Tuscany or Provence
Do you love the atmosphere of Tuscany or Provence? At the Daalarna Garden, you can feel like you’re in one of these wonderful Western European locations during your summer wedding! With magnificent tulips, English gardens and stunning one-acre lavender fields, Daalarna Garden is at its best from late May to the end of July. The estate fits in with the most exclusive international wedding venues inside and out.
The only difference is that it’s much more cost-effective to have your summer wedding here, as the venue itself is much cheaper, as well as the cost of service providers. So if you want a destination wedding with a Provence or Tuscany atmosphere, Daalarna Garden in Szentendre is the perfect summer wedding venue for you. Even more so, our team of wedding planners, who speak English and German, can manage your wedding! For more details, you can contact our colleagues here.
