After two hundred weddings, I do not just know where Germany is beautiful. I know where it is beautiful at 7 p.m. in late June, which ballroom photographs well and which one fights you, and where you will have the view to yourselves.

Fairytale silhouettes to intimate estate chapels. What they cost, how to book, which ones welcome international couples.

Grand hotels, members' clubs, industrial spaces — and a nightlife your guests will talk about for years.

Grand hotels above the river, the Petersberg among them — a hundred guests from two countries in one ballroom.

My home region: a UNESCO biosphere of forest canals an hour from Berlin. Arrive at your ceremony by wooden boat. Their loss, your gain.

Sandstone bridges and cliff-top sunrises — the most dramatic backdrop in Germany for an intimate ceremony.

Mountain meadows, lake chapels and the landscapes on every Pinterest board.

Half-timbered lanes and market squares — urban romance with medieval bones.

Tuscany, the Dolomites, Paris, Santorini. If your dream lives elsewhere in Europe, I travel.
Each region grows into its own full guide over the first year — with capacity, price range, permits and the best light, month by month.
