Celebrate 60 Years of The Sound of Music with a Special Wedding Experience in Salzburg

Salzburg is always a magical destination for weddings, but this year is extra special! 2025 marks the 60th anniversary of The Sound of Music film, and the city is celebrating with a series of incredible events. If you or your wedding guests are fans of the beloved movie, this is the perfect time to immerse yourself in its history and music while experiencing Salzburg’s timeless charm.

As part of the 60th-anniversary celebrations, Elisabeth von Trapp, the granddaughter of Maria and Baron von Trapp, will be offering exclusive walking tours and live music performances in Salzburg from May through October. This is an extraordinary opportunity to hear firsthand stories about the real von Trapp family while exploring the stunning locations that inspired the film.

Elisabeth is not only a direct descendant of the famous family, but she is also an acclaimed musician, known for her mesmerizing voice and skillful guitar performances. Her music blends classical, folk, and contemporary styles, creating a deeply moving experience for audiences.
