So, whether you're dreaming of a symbolic ceremony in a palace, a barefoot vow exchange in a greenhouse, or a rager of a reception in a post-industrial loft, this is your go-to guide to the most inclusive, welcoming, and downright fabulous wedding venues in Poland.

Let’s address the bouquet in the room: Poland doesn’t currently allow same-sex marriages or civil unions. Bummer? Yes. Deal-breaker? Absolutely not.
Many LGBTQ+ couples choose to have a symbolic wedding ceremony in Poland, and sign the paperwork in another country. The result? A wedding that’s 100% legal and 100% true to your hearts. And let’s be honest — the party’s what we all remember.
