A Wedding to Remember: 4 Reasons Why Iceland is the Perfect Destination to Get Married*

When it comes time to schedule your big day, think about a destination wedding and think far, far away. Whether you enjoy the cold shimmer of the snow, the tranquil blue waves on a beach or the dark green beauty of a forest, there is an endpoint perfect for your upcoming nuptials.

Many couples are taking advantage of the beauty of planning an Iceland wedding. Let’s look at the 4 top reasons Iceland is the perfect destination to get married, anytime of the year.

Natural Lights

Depending on the time of year, the sun provides natural, beautiful light for up to 22 hours. Other times of the year, there are only about four hours of light.

If you want to get married under the Northern Lights, this can be arranged for a clear, cold evening anywhere between October and March.

Understand that the weather is highly unpredictable and couples should always have a backup plan. You are expected to get written permission from private landowners and national parks. If you have a wedding planner, they will do this for you so there are no worries.

Rest assured, if the weather is good, your wedding will be nothing less than perfect and you will have the photos to prove it.

Possibilities

There are many different options for holding your wedding outdoors.

•         Next to a cliff or waterfall
•         Inside a cave or glacier
•         Outside any one of the beautiful small or large churches, many placed near hills with gorgeous foliage
•         Anywhere in the colourful and quirky town of Reykjavík

Reykjavík is the most northern city in the world and is also one of the safest, greenest, and cleanest. It is a friendly place filled with artists and a community that cares about the planet.

There are also a number of private areas that can only be accessed through a helicopter. Permission is needed for private property access and can be granted several months ahead of time from the owner of the land.

Closer Than You Think

Travelling to Iceland for your wedding is closer than you may think. There are many airlines that fly directly from North America and Europe with the time being anywhere from 3 to 5 hours.

This makes a destination wedding in Iceland reasonably priced and perfect for a larger group of family and friends.

To make the day feel even more special you could charter a private jet through Jettly? Your wedding day is hopefully something that is once in a lifetime so why not arrive in style along with your guests?

How About The Honeymoon?

The reasons above also make Iceland a top destination for a honeymoon. The logistics may be far simpler as you only need a cozy camper, which you can find here, fill it with supplies, and be on your very first road trip as newly weds.

Hiring Help

You may want to have a DIY destination wedding; however, it is better to have someone who knows the ins and outs of where the perfect places are and how to manage them. A wedding planner located in Iceland can help get permits, flowers, meals, hotels, photographers, and whatever else you and your party will want for your special day.

There is also many different before and after activities for the couple and their guests. These activities include horseback riding, snorkelling, hiking, or snowmobiling.

Considering a destination wedding in Iceland can be amazing and exciting. Having the right help to plan and execute the event will be priceless.
