Weddings and Ceremonies
Celebrate your big milestones surrounded by nature.
Hvammsvík offers an unforgettable setting for weddings and ceremonies, only 45 minutes from Reykjavik. From intimate gatherings to larger celebrations, our breathtaking landscapes, cozy accommodations, natural hot springs, and a newly built Temple create a truly one-of-a-kind backdrop for your special day.
The Temple
The Temple is an outdoor sculpture open to interpretation. It is a sacred and inclusive space that welcomes everyone, regardless of religion or beliefs.
Hvammsvík is one of Iceland's earliest Viking settlement farms. There was a temple, or hof, at Hvammsvík, followed later by a Christian church. This transformation, from heathen traditions to Christianity, and the way sacred structures around the world have shifted roles throughout history, inspired the creation of the Temple at Hvammsvík.
The Temple was designed and completed by Skúli Mogensen on August 16, 2025, for the wedding of Gríma Björg Thorarensen. On that day, Guðrún Karls Helgudóttir, Bishop of Iceland, blessed the Temple and consecrated its function as a church for the ceremony.
For your wedding, the Temple can serve as the place where you exchange your vows. After the ceremony, it can be seamlessly transformed into a unique dining space, with seating for up to 150 guests.
Catering is provided by our trusted partners, and we would be delighted to recommend options tailored to your event.
