Kakslauttanen has been a popular wedding & honeymoon destination for years. Many people also like to come to renew their vows. No matter how imaginative your wishes may be, we will tailor our services accordingly. You will find the right kind of facilities here, whether you are planning a small celebration for close family and friends or for the whole extended family. A winter wedding under the northern lights makes for a spectacular, memorable wedding day. What else could such natural phenomenon spell, other than eternal happiness. We build a special chapel out of snow for weddings and the log chapel of Tieva, in the middle of the forest, also provides an ideal wedding setting. It is possible to arrive at the chapel on a sleigh, drawn by reindeer or a horse. If you are aiming for a summer wedding, then the ‘nightless night’ will lend an unforgettable glow to your summer wedding day. In Autumn, during the colourful ‘ruska’ period, it is as if the entire nature of Lapland joined in on the exhilarating wedding atmosphere, as tree leaves and ground flora are ablaze in shades of red. Wedding ceremonies are held at the peak of Kaunispaa fell, the island of Ukko – a holy island of Sami – in Lake Inarinjarvi, or Santa’s bridge, among other places. We also have a portable wedding alter available that can be set up anywhere in the wilderness. A unique experience holds you at the gold panning site, where the happy couple can pan for gold nuggets for their wedding rings. Being hopeless romantics, we have designed a number of accommodation facilities with the bridal couples and wedding guests pa
