Best Time to Get Married in Georgia

The weather decides when to start the ceremony, where to set up dinner and whether you need an indoor space in case of rain. This guide explains what the weather in Georgia (the country) is like in each season and how weddings are planned around it.

01Weather in Tbilisi, Kakheti and Batumi

Tbilisi and Kakheti have a similar climate: winters are dry, May brings the most rain, and July and August are hot. Batumi sits on the Black Sea coast, and its wettest months are in autumn.

Here is the typical weather in Tbilisi for each month. These are averages for 1991–2020, and sunset times are for the middle of the month.

02Season and ceremony time

You can get married in Georgia in any season. The time of year affects three things: the weather, the budget and the ceremony time. Below is what to keep in mind for each season.

Spring

Daytime temperatures in Tbilisi are 13 °C in March, 19 °C in April and 24 °C in May. May is not hot yet, and the sun sets after 8 pm, so the ceremony can start in the evening.

May is the wettest month in Tbilisi and Kakheti. In Tbilisi it rains on ten days of the month on average. Telavi gets 12 rainy days and 119 mm of rain in May.

Summer

The hottest months are July and August, with an average of 32 °C in Tbilisi during the day; June averages 29 °C. According to Pogoda.ru.net, the city has 22 days a year of 32 °C or more on average. Kakheti is 1–2 degrees cooler than Tbilisi in summer.

In July the sun sets at around 8:30 pm, so the ceremony can start at about 6:30 pm, two hours before sunset.

Autumn

Daytime temperatures in Tbilisi are 26 °C in September, 20 °C in October and 13 °C in November. It rains on five or six days a month, less often than in spring.

In October the sun sets shortly after 6 pm, more than two hours earlier than in July, so the ceremony takes place in the daytime.

On the coast, autumn is the wettest season. Batumi gets more than 300 mm of rain a month in September, October and November, over three times as much as in May. For a wedding by the sea, May and June are better.

Winter

In January it is 7 °C in Tbilisi during the day and around zero at night. Rain or snow falls on four days a month on average. The sun sets shortly before 6 pm, so the ceremony takes place in the daytime and dinner is served indoors.

A mountain wedding is harder to plan in winter. The road to Kazbegi crosses the Jvari Pass, and the Gudauri–Kobi section is closed because of snow and avalanche risk. In 2026 the Roads Department closed it even in April.

If you want a winter wedding in the mountains, Gudauri is the easier choice: the resort is on the road from Tbilisi before the pass, and the road there is closed less often. Bring guests a day before the wedding, and keep a spare day and an indoor venue in the plan. Kazbegi is riskier in winter: if the pass closes, guests may not get there or may not be able to leave.

03A backup plan for rain

There are rainy days in every month. Even August, one of the driest months, has five on average in Tbilisi.

At one of Kai Event Studio’s August weddings, the forecast gave a 0% chance of rain, so the welcome reception and dinner were set up outdoors. Ten minutes before the guests arrived, a heavy downpour began and the wiring on the stage got wet. The reception went ahead under cover, and in the meantime the team moved the whole set-up indoors. It took 90 minutes.

That is why the backup plan is prepared in advance. The venue is set up for two options: outdoors and indoors. Umbrellas and blankets are brought for guests, and on the wedding day the forecast decides where the celebration happens.
