Because Your Love Story Deserves a Royal Chapter
Let’s be honest—getting married is a big deal. And if you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels like a royal affair, Belgium might just be the perfect place to say “I do.” Picture this: a breathtaking castle, Michelin-starred cuisine, and champagne fountains (or, better yet, a Belgian beer tasting station—because why not?).
Planning a luxury wedding in Belgium isn’t just about the glamour—it’s about crafting an unforgettable experience. Whether you’re envisioning an opulent castle celebration, a stylish city wedding, or a countryside escape with storybook vibes, Belgium has it all.
So, grab a glass of Ruffus (Belgium’s answer to Champagne) and let’s dive into everything you need to know about planning a high-end wedding in this European gem.
1. The Best Luxury Wedding Venues in Belgium 🏰✨

2. Michelin-Star Dining & Belgian Treats for Your Wedding 🍾🍫
Let’s be real—food is everything at a luxury wedding. And in Belgium, the cuisine is next-level.
🥂 Champagne? Try Belgian Sparkling Wine!
Forget Champagne—Belgium’s own Chant d’Éole and Ruffus are so good, even the French are impressed.
🍻 A Beer Bar? Oh Yes.
For a uniquely Belgian touch, offer a curated selection of Trappist beers like Westvleteren 12 (aka beer gold).
🍽 Michelin-Starred Wedding Menus
Want a wedding menu designed by a Michelin-star chef? Try:
- Hof van Cleve (3 stars) – world-class fine dining

🍫 Chocolate Wedding Favors
Let’s face it—Belgian chocolate is practically required at your wedding. Opt for artisanal boxes from Pierre Marcolini or Neuhaus for a sweetly elegant touch.
