SKOPJE, MACEDONIA
Skopje, the capital city of Macedonia, has a rich tapestry of history and culture that dates back to ancient times. Nestled along the Vardar River, and surrounded by stunning mountains, this city is a confluence of civilizations, where the old coexists with the new in an enthralling dance of time.
Skopje is known for its welcoming people, diverse architecture, ridiculously good food, and bustling nightlife.
The city offers a variety of great and affordable accommodation options, global chain hotels, local hotels, and Airbnbs in the heart of the city.
The Church ceremony will be held at the grandiose Macedonian Orthodox Cathedral of St. Clement of Ohrid in the center of Skopje.
The reception will follow at the rooftop wedding venue, Ragusa 360, just a mile away from the Church.

OHRID
While you’re in Macedonia for our special day, we highly recommend taking the time to explore the enchanting town of Ohrid. Touted as the “Jewel in the Balkan Crown,” or the Balkan Lake Como, Ohrid is a UNESCO World Heritage site, home to Europe’s oldest lake and a treasure trove of ancient churches. Visit where the Clement and Naum created and spread the Cyrillic alphabet, or stand on the 11th century imposing Samuel Fortress above the city.
Whether you’re wandering its historic cobblestone streets or basking in the tranquil lake views, you’ll be captivated by its charm. For those coming from Skopje, Ohrid is just a scenic drive or quick flight away. Enjoy this little Macedonian gem while you’re here!
