Some people have dreamed of a wedding with hundreds of people since they were children, and others prefer to imagine this romantic event in a small family circle, with only their most important friends present. Of course, they both have their charms and it's up to you to decide which one you want! But one thing is for sure: if you're looking for a small wedding venue and dreaming of an intimate atmosphere on this wonderful day, we can help you choose.
Below is a brief summary of our small wedding venues, our most atmospheric wedding restaurants, with examples in every style.
Small wedding venues with a romantic flair | Pierrot Restaurant
Our sophisticated and elegant Pierrot restaurant has become a favourite among brides and grooms for a reason. Not only do we often host small weddings here, but we've also witnessed many a proposal within these walls, and most of the romantic events have been booked here.

A small wedding venue if it's really just the immediate family | Jamie Oliver's Italian private room
Of course, the term small wedding also means different things to different families. Some people will call a wedding of 70 people a small wedding (and indeed, compared to an event of hundreds, these are still considered small events), but there are also those who really stretch their imagination when it comes to the number of people attending. If you are only expecting around 20 people and really only invite the most important ones, Jamie Oliver's Italian's private room, tucked away from the rest of the restaurant, may be the perfect solution. Italian food, loud laughter, a relaxed atmosphere - is that all you need for the perfect wedding?

What to consider when choosing a small wedding venue?
While every wedding is completely unique and depends entirely on the couple's taste and vision - whether it's reforming things like the bride wearing a suit instead of a huge, frothy-bean wedding dress, skipping the bouquet toss or not having a cake - there's one thing you shouldn't miss: finding the perfect venue. Whether you're looking for a small wedding venue for your micro-wedding or you're planning a huge wedding, finding the perfect venue is one of the most important aspects of planning any wedding.
But finding the perfect venue is not easy, especially if a small wedding venue suits your needs. As the end of venues is endless and you have so many options, we'll help you with what to look out for when finding the perfect venue!
How to choose the perfect small wedding venue?
Choose a venue that fits your vision
This may seem obvious, but look for venues that suit your own aesthetic style. If you're planning a modern wedding, look at art galleries, well-designed restaurants or warehouse spaces. And weddings with more natural elements look better in outdoor venues such as parks, backyards or farms. If you choose a venue that fits the theme (and highlights it), your wedding can better connect with the space.
Keep the guest list in mind!
If you know how many guests you want to invite before you look at venues, you can save yourself from headaches and heartaches. If you choose a small wedding venue that is too small and you have more than 2 guests, you could find yourself in a difficult situation. Couples often underestimate how many people they'll invite (or how many people their parents want to add), so it's a good idea to book the number of guests early on. This will also help you plan your budget, as some costs will depend largely on the number of people you invite.
Don't forget the budget!
It's more than just how much it costs to rent the room, as in-house catering venues (such as hotels) charge per plate. Decor and floral design also add to the cost. It is therefore worth first establishing a budget for how much you would spend on this, and then using this as a basis to find out what services the small wedding venue offers in their quotation.
Guest comfort
When choosing a small wedding venue, you should not forget where your guests will be travelling from, because if they travel a lot because they live far away, or you are the same way, it is worth asking the venue if they can offer or provide accommodation. Buda has a wide range of accommodation options, so you can even put your guests up in an exclusive hotel or a more family-friendly apartment after the wedding restaurant.
What is included in the venue?
Our best wedding restaurants in Buda Castle are available in a relaxed and elegant atmosphere, with soft piano melodies and romantic decorations, and we can also provide garden seating. When choosing a wedding venue, be sure to clarify in advance what services you would like the venue to provide, such as whether you need a musician or decor, or whether you would prefer to use your own arrangements. Whether you're looking for a more intimate atmosphere or a more upbeat one, our restaurants are here to make your every wish come true!
