In the 16^th–17^th century, the public and economic processes in Livonia were controlled by the Baltic German nobility. The Livonians of both German and Latvian origin had different regulations in accordance with their belonging to particular group of society. Regulations promulgated by governing authority stated obligations and rights of every citizen, including the right to get married and take part in a wedding celebration. Each aspect of the process of wedding was subject to the local laws – time, place and order of the ceremony and celebration, number of participants and the allowed activities – musical performances, dances, etc.

The description of weddings in Livonia is primarily based on chronicle by Balthasar Russow (1536–1600) Chronica der Provinz Lyfflandt, the wedding and clothing regulations issued by the Riga City Council in 1593 Eines Erbarn Raths der Königlichen Stadt Riga in Liefflandt Reformierte Kost und Kleider Ordnung and 1598 Eins Erbarn Raths der königlichen Stadt Riga, erneuerte Hochzeit Ordnung, as well as on the research on the 17^th century weddings in Riga (Rigasche Hochzeiten im 17. Jahrhundert), written by historian Alexander Buchholtz (1851–1893).
