You and your guests are rowed across the lake in the local pletna boats. On reaching the island you are met by the staircase of 99 steps leading to the top. According to custom, when two people are married on Bled Island, the groom must carry the bride up these stairs to ensure a long and happy marriage. A true test of the stamina and strength that both the bride and groom bring to the marriage.
The Church of the Mother of God on the Lake is a beautiful baroque church decorated with frescoes and amazing golden altarpieces. It will leave a lasting impression on you and your guests. After the wedding service is performed, you will be asked to honour the local tradition of ringing the church wishing bell. Make the bell toll and fill your life with joy and laughter.
