Ice Hotel and Northern Lights Wedding

Fly to Kiruna in Swedish Lapland arriving around mid day.

A guide will be waiting at the airport to transfer you to the Ice Hotel, where on arrival you will check into your choice of accommodation. We recommend a night in an Art Suite but if you prefer you could have a warm cabin instead.

Meet with the Ice Hotel Wedding Co-Coordinator to finalise the arrangements for your wedding ceremony. We will have helped you obtain the necessary paperwork from the UK authorities before you go.

This afternoon, you will visit the Kiruna Registry Office for your appointment to complete the formal application of a marriage licence and signing of documents.

This evening we suggest booking you a table at the Ice Hotel restaurant where you can enjoy some fine cuisine and perhaps a couple of drinks in the Ice Bar!

Overnight in the IceHotel.

Breakfast at the IceHotel.

Spend the morning on a wildlife Safari through a picturesque valley to Nikkaloukta. Passing SAMI villages keep a lookout for Moose, Reindeer, Arctic Fox and other wildlife which migrate to the valley during the winter months.

Enjoy morning coffee at Nikkaloukta prior to returning to the Ice Hotel to prepare for the wedding ceremony itself in the chapel at the Ice Hotel.

The wedding will take place late afternoon in the Ice Chapel or if you prefer in the feature Art Suite in the Ice Hotel.

After the wedding transfer to Abisko, probably the most famous place in the world for consistant sightings of the Northern Lights. Catch the chairlift venturing up the side of Mount Nuolja.

From 900 meters above sea level the view over Lake Torneträsk, Lapporten and the Mountains is magnificent. Enjoy a delicious 3 course dinner with wine and spend the evening hopefully surrounded by the Northern Lights.

Transfer back to Kiruna and overnight in the small boutique Máttaráhkká Sami Northern Lights Lodge. This is an excellent base for the adventurous part of your wedding in Lapland.

Breakfast in Lodge.

Late morning set off with your sled dog team and guide for a night in the wilderness. Spend the afternoon exploring arctic wilderness from frozen rivers to Sami sacrifice areas with remarkable views before you. You will cover about 20 kilometres in your day with the dogs.

On arrival at the wilderness cabin the guide will light the fire and prepare a meal for you. You can venture out on snowshoes over the frozen river or enjoy a sauna. Finally retire to the lovely big pine bed in the attic of the cabin.

After breakfast in the wilderness cabin return to Kiruna with your sled dogs and check back into Máttaráhkká. Spend this afternoon on a snowmobile trip across the frozen lake and river system and to the foothills of Torneträsk mountains.

Return in time for dinner followed by enjoying a bottle of champagne in the Northern Lights hot tub situated on the roof of the Lodge. This is a wonderfully romantic experience and one that will crown off a remarkable few days.

Overnight at Máttaráhkká Northern Lights Sami Lodge.

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast and perhaps a wilderness walk before time to transfer to the airport for your flight home.
