The Wedding Palace or Palace of Rituals (Georgian: რიტუალების სასახლე) is a building in Tbilisi designed by architects Victor Djorbenadze and Vazha Orbeladze. It was built in 1984 as a wedding venue.
The building, drawing on influences as diverse as 1920s expressionism and medieval Georgian church architecture, met with mixed critical reviews.[1]
Visiting celebrities were often invited to the Wedding Palace - Margaret Thatcher was treated to a Georgian dance performance during her 1987 visit,[2] and Deep Purple frontman Ian Gillan renewed his vows with wife Bron while touring in 1990.[3]
In 2002 it was purchased by the oligarch Badri Patarkatsishvili for use as his personal residence. In 2013, the Wedding Palace was leased to a private events company and currently hosts weddings, fundraisers, and corporate functions.[4]
