5 Beautiful Churches to Marry Ukraine Women in

Most of the people in Ukraine are religious. About 67.3% Ukrainians belong to one of the many denominations of Orthodox Christianity. Marriage is one of the seven sacraments in their Eastern Orthodox faith. Thus, traditional wedding ceremonies in Ukraine are mostly held in churches. When you marry a Ukrainian woman, expect that she would follow tradition by walking down the aisle in a grand church.

Ukraine prides itself on having a great number of churches and cathedrals. Sadly though, some of them were destroyed during the wars that previously wreaked havoc in the country. There are, however, many surviving structures, such as unique temples built on exceedingly complex and challenging terrains. These, and other factors make Ukraine a truly splendid venue for weddings. Here is a list of our top picks for church venues to marry Ukraine women in:

• Uspenski Cathedral

One of Kiev’s premier tourist attractions is the Kyivan Cave Monastery. The gateway to Kyivan Cave Monastery is the Uspenski Church, the main church on the site. It was originally built at the end of the 11th century, was destroyed during the Second World War, and restored in 2000.

Uspenski Cathedral, with its baroque style, is the ultimate dream wedding church for couples in Ukraine. It’s perfect for couples who want a beautiful venue without straying too far from the capital.

• St. Nicholas Roman Catholic Cathedral

St. Nicholas Cathedral is the second oldest Roman Catholic church in “Kyiv.” It is one of the most photographed places in the city and boasts a beautiful gothic design.

The construction of the church lasted from 1899 to 1909. Its two highly pointed spires and subtle moldings give this church a distinguished and unique architectural design.

St. Nicholas Church represents a synergy between principles of faith and art for decades now. In the afternoon, there’s a church service while in the evening, you can listen to melodic masterpieces of organ music. This church is ideal for artsy couples. Your Ukraine bride will be able to walk-down-the-aisle in a beautifully designed cathedral.

• St. George’s Cathedral

On a hill overlooking the urban landscape of Lviv towers a magnificent baroque-rococo cathedral, the third church to inhabit this site since the 13th century.

St. George’s holds a prominent position in Ukrainian culture. It served as the mother church for the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC) in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is also home to the oldest bell in Ukraine, which was created in 1341.

There are many wedding churches to choose from in Lviv. What puts St. George’s Cathedral above them all is its rich and iconic interior design.

Lviv is known to be the “Little Paris of the East” due to its overwhelmingly romantic mood and atmosphere. Therefore, if you wish to marry a Ukrainian woman in a church brimming with romance and romantic history, St. George’s Cathedral is the place to be.

• Church of Holy Martyr Tatiana

The Church of the Holy Martyr Tatiana is the first and only students’ church in Ukraine. It was built through the collective effort of the school’s stakeholders, donations from faculty and students, in conjunction with the common citizens of Odessa. The students also took part in the construction by cleaning the area, taking out the garbage, planting trees and assisting builders.

The Church of the Holy Martyr Tatiana is the pride of the people of Odessa. Its exquisite architecture and what this church represents sets it apart from other churches in Ukraine.

• Annunciation Cathedral

A locally designed, candy-striped cathedral accented by a Neo-Byzantine design stands as the main Orthodox church in Kharkiv, Ukraine. The Annunciation Cathedral once reigned as the largest in all of the former Russian empire. This church is perfect for couples with colorful personalities that match the church’s colorful design.

Pivotal moments in life—such as weddings—should be celebrated in places that reflect who you are as a couple. Holding your wedding ceremony in a church will make your special day even more solemn and intimate. We encourage you to consider these recommendations for your potential wedding venue with your Ukraine bride.
