Newlyweds attach particular importance to the place where the official registration of marriage will take place. Only the registry offices of St. Petersburg can be compared with the capital’s wedding palaces.
Wedding Palace №1
The most popular among grooms and brides from the Northern capital is the Wedding Palace No. 1, located on Promenade des Anglais.
This is the first Wedding Palace in St. Petersburg, which was built at the end of the XIX century. After the revolution, state institutions were located in the mansion. On the facade of the building in the Florentine style, you can see a unique stucco decoration. Inside the future spouses there is a magnificent grand staircase and magnificent sculptures.
On the ground floor there is a wardrobe and buffet rooms, on the second floor there are rooms for the bride and groom, as well as two celebration halls, the interior of which is associated with grandeur and aristocracy. The palace is ideal for wedding photo shoots, but it is better to take care of this in advance. The registry offices of St. Petersburg are advised to familiarize themselves with the basic rules so that your marriage is not overshadowed by forgotten documents, being late and other troubles. In addition, the registry office employees do not welcome some wedding traditions, for example, showering the bride and groom with rice or small things.
On the second line
Wedding Palace No. 2 is a bit more modest than its predecessor, but this does not affect the demand. The building was built at the end of the XIX century according to the project of A.I. Gauguin, and the first registration of marriage took place in February 1963.
The palace has a wardrobe, rooms for the bride and groom, as well as a shop where you can buy balloons, a cover for a marriage certificate and other wedding accessories. The celebration hall pleasantly surprises with its interior in noble blue and white hues. Magnificent photographs are taken at the front staircase, decorated with elegant wrought iron railings.
One of the main advantages of the Palace is its proximity to the Tauride Garden - a favorite place for newlyweds.
Many registry offices in the districts of St. Petersburg have their own parking, but the Wedding Palace No. 2 does not apply to them. Future spouses should come in advance so that all drivers of the wedding procession can find a place for cars.
Frunze Civil Registry Office
New registry offices of St. Petersburg are not inferior to elegant Palaces. The second part of our review presents two modern institutions.
On the embankment of the Fontanka River is the Frunze department. Behind the facade of a small building lies a beautiful and spacious palace, a ceremony in which the newlyweds and guests will be remembered for many years. In the huge hall there is a piano, mirrors and beautiful furniture - the perfect scenery for a photo shoot. While waiting for check-in, you can relax in the guest room or take a walk in the conservatory.
The Frunze Registry Office (St. Petersburg) is located away from metro stations, so it is not very convenient to get here by public transport. In addition, the building is located next to the residential complex, so it is not easy to find a place in the adjacent parking lot.
Unfortunately, some reviews point out incorrect behavior and indifferent attitude of registry office employees.
