Located in Leányfalu a small town next to the Danube river, Sorg Villa is about a 45-minute drive from downtown Budapest.
As soon as we enter the gate, huge trees line our path, and the bumpy cobblestone road only adds to the romantic and whimsical. The trees and plants surround the courtyard so densely that the direct proximity of the mainroad is not felt at all.
It feels like as if we immediately entered into another dimension and this the magic, that only Sorg Villa can do. You can’t go wrong with Villa Sorg if tasteful wedding design is important to you. With its atmosphere reminiscent of Mediterranean villas, refined romantic decorations, vintage and elegant concepts suit this venue very well.
Maximum number of guests for seated dinner: 140-160
The most famous restaurant of Hungary – as it is written in their introduction is, has a long running history in the Hungarian hospitality.

With it’s spectacular ballroom, Haris Park is one of the most impressive venues in Budapest, to be exact in Buda (the hilly side of the city).

Did you know that the world’s most beautiful café is in Hungary? It’s called New York Café Budapest and it is truly a luxurious affair. When you enter the 130 years old cafe, is like you are stepping back in time. The eclectic style building in 19th century was the main spot for the artists of Hungarian literature.
Nowadays is a bustling and ultimately elegant cafe and also a wedding venue, where you can get married.
It’s impressive an gilded interior is suitable for the couples who aren’t afraid to go with a bold venue choice. The Cafe is connected to the so called Deep Water Restaurant and the lobby of the Anantara Hotel. Eventhough you have the possibilty to rent different rooms and ballrooms in the property, personally I definetely suggest you to choose the White Salon (in connection with the Red Salon).

A romantic castle with a beautiful park and a beautifully restored building, replenished with modern architectural details. The two different architecture styles work harmoniously together, creating a perfect compination of modern elegance and classic details.
Located only 30 minutes car drive from Budapest is the ideal wedding venue, if you would like to get married in a villa like building, but with quick access to the city.
There is a possibility for outdoor ceremony, in the castle park, next to the beautiful lake. For an elegant wedding I recommend the ballroom on the groundfloor, that has also an immediate connection to the terrace, overlooking the castle park.
