Fort Lawrence Dubrovnik: A Dream Wedding Among Ancient Walls
Imagine saying "I do" as the golden sun sets over the Adriatic, the ancient stone walls of a fortress bearing silent witness to your love story. Nestled above the glittering sea and perched on the edge of the old city, Fort Lawrence Dubrovnik—also known as St. Lawrence Fortress—is a wedding venue unlike any other.
A Wedding in Three Acts: Romance, Rhythm, and Revelry
Morgan and Robbie’s wedding was more than just a day—it was an experience. Their celebration unfolded over three luxurious days, each one imbued with style, emotion, and unmistakable Croatian charm.
Day One: A Toast to the Beginning
The journey began at the Hilton Imperial Dubrovnik. A warm welcome dinner greeted guests with candlelit tables, sea breezes, and the signature “Ditto” cocktail—a delightful local favorite that quickly became the toast of the evening. As a result, laughter echoed beneath the soft glow of lanterns, and the tone for the weekend was set: elegant, relaxed, and full of heart.
Day Two: Coastal Glamour at Banje Beach
The next evening, an all-white welcome party at Banje Beach set a fun, elegant tone. The couple arrived in coordinated lavender attire, setting the tone for a night of stylish celebration. Meanwhile, the evening danced with music, custom cocktails, and laughter under the stars, all against the backdrop of the shimmering sea and the fortress high above.
Day Three: A Ceremony Steeped in History
The wedding day itself was pure magic. Held within the stone embrace of Fort Lawrence Dubrovnik, the ceremony offered panoramic views of the Adriatic and Old Town rooftops. Lush white and green florals adorned the fortress, punctuated with vibrant touches of orange that mirrored the terracotta cityscape below.
In addition, guests found their seats via vintage bells inscribed with names—a nod to tradition, and a whimsical touch. As Morgan and Robbie made their entrance, the bells rang out in celebration. Simultaneously, traditional Dubrovnik guards and drummers signaled their arrival, blending history with festivity in a regal fanfare.
As night fell, the celebration moved into the vaulted chambers of the fortress. A glittering espresso martini tower welcomed guests, while a French band brought the dance floor to life. Overhead, a projection of classic movie dance scenes spun dreams into motion—cinematic, soulful, and unforgettable.
