Daalarna Garden in Szentendre shows a beautiful, flower-filled landscape in the spring months that is every bride’s dream. In this article, we will explain why Daalarna Garden is the perfect choice for a spring wedding!
According to wedding planners, spring is the perfect time to organise a wedding because not only is the weather perfect, but the blooming flowers, nature, trees and bushes are also a symbol of a new beginning that the couple will be experiencing on their wedding day. After all, the wedding day is one of the most important and beautiful days in a couple’s life, with many changes that precede and surround before, during and, of course, during the wedding itself. The months of spring can be symbolically a great way to make this new beginning even more special, and there is no better location for this than Daalarna Garden in Szentendre! Without a doubt, it is the most perfect wedding venue in the Budapest area for a spring wedding. Here are some of the reasons why you might consider a spring wedding at Daalarna Garden!
Daalarna Garden is very close to the airport of Budapest
Daalarna Garden is the perfect spring wedding venue in the Budapest area, only 15 km from the capital and less than 40 km from Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport! This makes the distance to Daalarna Garden wedding venue in Hungary very ideal, as even those arriving by plane from abroad can reach the venue in less than an hour. This would not be the case in most European venues, where the journey could take several hours. However, Daalarna Garden is approximately 50 minutes from Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, which makes it an ideal choice for those arriving from abroad! There are no traffic jams or unnecessary minutes spent in the car, which is often the case in other European cities and towns.
A special feature is that Szentendre, home to the Daalarna Garden, can be approached by boat from Budapest on the Danube, making for a very stylish and elegant entrance for the couple, as well as the bride and groom themselves! In addition, Szentendre also has a large number of chapels, churches and cathedrals, all just a few minutes drive from the estate. The two can be perfectly combined, but the spring wedding ceremony can also be held within Daalarna Garden itself, as there are many special venues available within the site! This all makes Daalarna Garden the best destination wedding venue.
A wide range of spring wedding activities is available at Daalarna Garden
At the five-hectare Daalarna Garden estate, everyone is guaranteed to find the most suitable relaxation and entertainment opportunity, whether it’s a group activity, a couple’s game or even a solo, relaxing walk! And if you prefer to enjoy the day indoors, it’s also perfectly manageable, as Daalarna Garden has a 160 m² Stone House, a 200 m² Conservatory, a 140 m² Atrium and a 110 m² Barn, all available for you to use however you wish!
Swimming in the pool, BBQs and relaxing walks in the blooming English park – there are plenty of activities to choose from during your spring wedding at Daalarna Garden!
Of course, there is not much time for the couple to enjoy the active and passive activities during a short afternoon wedding. However, the Daalarna Garden’s slow wedding concept, which includes a three-day long weekend, is the perfect way to make the most of this! But if you’d rather have your wedding on a weekday, you can still make the most of the estate’s great facilities. The surrounding landscape of Szentendre and the panoramic view of the location are a fabulous setting for everything. So you will not only have a great time during your active/passive relaxation, but you will also be able to enjoy an exclusive and luxurious yet natural and environmentally friendly location!
The weather is always perfect for spring weddings at Daalarna Garden
After the cold and cloudy winter seasons, it will be refreshing to have your wedding in the spring, which will have sunshine and good weather! At this time of year, everyone is excited about how the wedding will be and how things will go, but our general experience is that you simply can’t go wrong with a spring wedding because the weather is perfect! There is almost no risk factor because the climate is so ideal. The days are warm and sunny but not hot, and the evenings are breezy and slightly cooler than the days. As we move towards the summer season, this changes, with the dry heat often hitting at the end of May. Closer to summertime, the temperatures often become very hot and uncomfortable for many guests and couples.
Daalarna Garden is equipped with modern air and heating technology, which can be adjusted to your personal needs!
At Daalarna Garden, you’ll never be too hot or too cold in the indoor spaces! The special feature of these installations is that they are powered entirely by the energy generated by the on-site solar park, using environmentally friendly, green energy! Although the interiors of Daalarna Garden are fully air-conditioned, it can be a lot more tiring to get married in the heat outdoors. The hot sun can make it difficult to organise, decorate and run outdoor ceremonies, not to mention the fact that intimate celebrations can be very unpleasant in the heat and burning sun. Sweat is constant, make-up can melt, hair can get messy, guests’ clothes can get wet, and the wedding dress and tuxedo itself can also become hot, making the whole day feel uncomfortable. However, this is perfectly avoidable if you choose a nice spring day for your wedding!
The most beautiful ceremonies take place at the spring weddings in Daalarna Garden
Although Daalarna Garden is a wonderful setting for a more intimate, family-style wedding for less than 10 people, we have found that spring weddings tend to be larger, with a huge number of guests. This is because in springtime you can spend a lot of time outdoors, in the fresh air, and you don’t have to have the whole wedding indoors! It’s safe to say that in spring when the weather is at its best, there are plenty of opportunities to hold some (if not all) of the spring wedding outside on the five-hectare estate of Daalarna Garden. This also gives the opportunity to expand the wedding itself to meet your individual needs, at the very least to a certain extent.
Daalarna Garden can accommodate 120-150 guests, but this may vary depending on the nature of the spring wedding
For outdoor ceremonies in Daalarna Gardens, for example, most brides like to have their ceremonies on the lavender plantation or next to the lavender field. The poolside and the English Park are also very popular wedding venues for various spring wedding ceremonies. And not only for wedding ceremonies but for other types of events and celebrations too! Wedding rehearsal dinners, family dinners and more intimate parties can be held in a wide variety of venues within the five-acre estate of Daalarna Garden, which is entirely customisable to your own personal taste. So you don’t have to have the ceremony, dinner, dance and the pre-wedding and post-wedding activities in the same place, which is a big advantage of the Daalarna Garden venue.
Spring weddings are more cost-effective than summer weddings
Although the main wedding season includes the spring months, it’s worth considering that summer weddings cost a lot more than spring weddings. At least, this is certainly the case at Daalarna Garden! Lavender blossoming in early summer is the peak season for the estate, so the period before this tends to be considerably cheaper, especially for a large wedding. In addition to the lower cost of booking the venue, decorators, wedding planners and service providers also tend to have more capacity on an early spring day, which can also reduce the cost of the wedding. However, it is worth mentioning that in the spring, Daalarna Garden is filled with flowering English gardens, lush green tuyas, flowering meadows, woods and plane trees, which are at their best in the spring, but unfortunately not in the heat of summer.
Spring weddings at Daalarna Garden are like being in Provence or Tuscany
The Daalarna Garden looks just like you’re in the lavender fields of southern Provence or the beautiful countryside of Tuscany! In fact, it’s probably even nicer, except that spring weddings here are much more cost-effective than if you were in France or Italy. The Hungarian service providers, the decorators, florists and organisers, as well as Daalarna Garden itself, are much cheaper than if you would have your beautiful spring wedding in a Western European country. With its straight-cut, terraced tulips, magnificent sycamore trees, a one-acre lavender field in a minimalist yet modern setting, and imposing buildings, the natural setting is internationally outstanding. You might not even realise you’re in Hungary, near to the city centre of Budapest!

Spring wedding ceremonies are wonderful at Daalarna Garden
The main wedding season is definitely in springtime (from March to the end of May) when nature is at its peak. The trees, shrubs and leaves are in full bloom, and the flower gardens, plantations, and English gardens on the five-hectare Daalarna Garden estate are at their best, too. Wonderful natural weddings and festive events can be held at the Szentendre estate, as the surrounding landscape alone provides the most magnificent decorations for a spring wedding. And when you decorate the venue with classic spring flowers such as buttercups, gardenias, roses, lilacs, hydrangeas or even orchids, the ceremony will look like a fairytale – whatever outdoor natural setting you choose to hold your wedding in at Daalarna Garden! If you’re a flower lover yourself and dream of having a wedding with lots of floral decorations, you may want to choose a spring month for your wedding.
