Honeymooners from Bulgaria, Fiji, Canada, Switzerland, Great Britain, Germany, Romania and other countries have married in the Palace in the Black Sea town of Balchik. Among more than 80 wedding celebrations that have taken place there during the year, the most exotic wedding was that of Fiji man and a bride from Sofia, as Fiji island dancers performed traditional dances.

The architectural and park complex "The Palace" in Balchik was built as a residence of Romanian Queen Maria (1875-1936). The Queen visited the town for the first time in 1921 with her son Prince Nicholas and was fascinated by the beauty of the bay. The construction of the palace began in 1924.
