Early September lies in what Kurt Tucholsky calls the 5th season.. not quite fall yet but also not quite summer anymore…Often, it is sunny with temperatures up to 25 degrees during the days but cools off in the evenings and can get quite chilly at night. As we are by the sea it will likely be windy, so prepare for wind chill factor and if unlucky, rain. The main party locations is outdoors, we are planning to dance on the grass. If the weather does not hold, the marquis and indoor areas will protect us from cold and rain.

Here are several possibilities for accommodation:

On the premise:

The summer camp has limited beds for 70 people in dormitories and a few smaller rooms which we will reserve for those of you that come with children. You will have to bring your own linen and towels.

There is also possibility to pitch a tent on the grounds (limited to 5 tent spots, first come first serve) or you can also park and sleep in your car on site. 

Yderby (local village 5km away from the wedding venue)

For those who prefer a bit of quiet from the party, there are a few options in the local village (see for example Airbnb or booking.com), which we recommend booking soon. If you need help with it, ping us a message. 

From 1pm onwards on Saturday (ceremony & afterparty) we ask you to dress up and look your best:

✔️ Yes, please: Suits, formal jumpsuits, midi or floor length dresses | tie optional |

Preferred dreamy colour palette: soft, natural, sun-warmed tones — champagne, oat, sage, olive, eucalyptus, moss, sand, blush, caramel, mocha — think effortless elegance, natural and summer appropriate rather than black tie formal or corporate

The official city guide of Copenhagen is a good address for recommendations but here is our curated list of things to do:

• A trip to Louisiana museum / a short train ride north of the city, it is a must for anyone interested in art & architecture… but just the scenery and great lunch will also appeal to the rest of us
• Explore the city by bike! Pit stops: Copenhagen · Ellen
  • Enghave Plads, Vesterbro – one of the best coffees in town is at Enghave Kaffe
  • Jaegersborggade, Nørrebro – lots of cute shops
  • Indre By: Vintage shops, e.g. Magnolias, Reseller, O-S-V Secondhand Fashion
  • Nyhavn, from there, continue to bike over Inderhavnsbroen to Papirøen to get a good view of the canal
  • Refshaleøen, come to watch the sun set on Reffen, ideally after a dip in the sea, with a glass of wine at La Banchina or at the street food market.
• Eat “bolle med ost” or BMO aka bun with cheese and plenty of cardamom buns: Juno has the best cardamom buns in town, but other good addresses are Prolog Coffee, Democratic Coffee, Coffee Collective, Original Coffee, Brød, Hart Bakery, Flere Fugle, Darcy’s…)
• Take a city walk, from Nordhavn to Nyhavn, along Lange Linie. You will pass the Mermaid amidst plenty of other tourists but Ellen says it is definitely worth a visit. She is tiny but very beautiful.
• Or walk around the 5 artificial lakes as 500
• Go dine & boogie in Meatpacking
