Hi,
My partner and i are thinking of getting married in Budapest over the next year to eighteen months.
I have no clue at all about even how to start planning such a thing!
Our wish list goes something like this:
1. A romantic setting for the (civil) ceremony.
2. A lovely hotel or restaurant for the reception for about 50-75 guests with excellent quality food. Value is a factor but we would pay for the right place.
3. If a wedding planner has to be involved, then a reliable planner who knows how to avoid rip-offs! We're quite up for doing it ourselves.
4. An idea of the best time of year - crisp and cold for a winter wedding is nice, damp and gloomy is not. We have no fixed idea on the time of year.
Not too much to ask for, I don't think!
I'd be really grateful for some help! First time to Budapest, too!
Thanks a lot, all.

You may have found the info elsewhere by now, but here's a link: http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art25446.asp

One dissauding factor may be that you will need to stay there for 30 days before the wedding.
