Wedding at the Funicular Restaurant

Are you looking for a venue to celebrate your wedding in Georgia? The Lotus Wedding agency offers you an original option – a fantastic celebration at the Funicular restaurant. This is the most stylish and popular restaurant in the capital, an iconic landmark with over 100 years of history. We will organize an unforgettable celebration of any scale for you from a bird’s-eye view.

The uniqueness of the Funicular restaurant complex

The prestigious venue is located on Mount Mtatsminda, in a park area. The restaurant was built back in 1905. It was recently restored, but all authentic architectural and interior details have been preserved. The three-story restaurant complex serves as the upper station of the railway leading to the top of the mountain.

Your celebration will begin down below, at the foot of Mtatsminda. Traditionally, the couple and guests ascend to the venue on a restored antique funicular. The ascent through the coniferous forest takes about 5 minutes. The gradually revealing panorama evokes special delight, setting a festive mood better than any motorcade. An original solution is a short wedding photoshoot right inside the carriage.

The ascent on the historical funicular will become an original element of your unique wedding day, and the descent will be the final evening chord. The pleasant journey will allow you to enjoy incredible surrounding landscapes. Breathtaking views of Tbilisi open up from the top.

The complex can host a wedding of any scale. A spacious terrace with an observation deck stretches along the entire length of the station building. A romantic ceremony held there against the backdrop of the capital’s amazing panorama will be remembered for a lifetime. Perfect memorable shots will be captured if the vow exchange takes place against the setting sun. It is also easy to set up a magnificent, comfortable lounge area here for a champagne reception before the main banquet or for relaxing from festive dancing and entertainment.

A wedding dinner can be held in one of the complex’s restaurants:

• Sanadimo – an intimate hall for a cozy celebration, designed for 40 people;
• Pano Restaurant – a room with terrace access, suitable for weddings with 40-70 guests;
• Restaurant Funicular – the main hall with 150-180 seats, an intimate atmosphere, and stunning landscapes;
• Grand Ballroom – the heart of the complex, a luxurious banquet hall with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows and high ceilings, located on the 3rd floor and designed for 300 guests.

Gastronomic extravaganza and the warmth of Georgian hospitality

The cuisine at the Funicular restaurant combines authentic Georgian cuisine with modern European culinary trends. They bake the best Adjarian boat-shaped khachapuri in the capital. For weddings, chefs create exquisite dishes in original interpretations and unique signature desserts. The venue’s event coordinator helps newlyweds with detailed banquet planning. A wedding in Georgia is impossible without wine. The Funicular restaurant offers a range of exclusive selections from the country’s best wineries. Professional sommeliers will assist in pairing drinks with each course.

Luxurious decor

Most often, for weddings held in the Funicular banquet hall, newlyweds choose a classic, neoclassical, or retro style. The main focus of the surrounding space is the panorama of evening Tbilisi.

Elegant mono-arrangements of roses, orchids, and hydrangeas in tall glass vases are enough to complement the interior.
