Arctic Circle Wilderness Resort is truly a picture perfect location for your exotic Lapland wedding.
Feel the romance in hundreds of candles and celebrate your love under the starry sky or the midnight sun!
The nature at the Arctic Circle Wilderness Resort is enough as decoration and provides the perfect backdrop for taking stunning wedding photos! There are plenty of options for your wedding party and ceremony – outdoors at the beautiful yard or nearby easy hiking trails, in our charming Wilderness Hut and the atmospheric log restaurant. Since Rovaniemi is the hometown of Santa Claus, you could also invite a very special guest to the wedding as a present for your friends and family… Surprise is guaranteed for all guests!
The venues and Wild Nordic Finland wedding packages
The Wilderness Hut, deep in the forest but only a 500-meter walk away from the main building, is the winter venue for our Lapland-themed weddings. The Hut will be decorated with tens of candles and the guests can sit comfortably on benches covered with soft reindeer skins! Tasty aperitifs and sparkling wine are served at the ceremony which takes place in the candle-illuminated wooden hut. During summertime we recommend for the ceremony to be planned outside and the Wilderness Hut to be utilized for the toast and the finger foods post-ceremony.
We have created a full service package for those who do not live in Finland and lack the local network and country knowledge to plan a wedding independently. Should you require only a part of the services we will make you a tailor-made offer with just the necessary parts.
