Snagov Palace is an architectural jewel, having been built between 1930 and 1932 at the request of Prince Nicholas, the younger brother of King Charles II. The palace was later expanded in the 1980s by the Ceaușescu family. Over time, Snagov Palace has become a favorite destination for exclusive events, retaining its original charm despite the changes brought about by the communist regime.
It was also the location chosen by Monica Bîrlădeanu and Valeriu Gheorghiță for their big event. The two united their destinies in a fairytale ceremony on Saturday, October 5.
