FAQ - Destination Weddings In Norway

Legal wedding: We will book a legal officiant for your ceremony and the ceremony will be legally binding and you will get a wedding certificate. Check out our FAQ What is a CNI - Certificate of non-impediment? for more information about CNI and getting legally married in Norway. 

Symbolic wedding: Your wedding ceremony in Norway will not be legally recognised. Perhaps you already got the paperwork done back home. For the symbolic wedding we will book a symbolic celebrant to officiate. 

To legally marry under Norwegian law, you must apply for a Certificate of No Impediment (CNI) before your wedding.

First you must get your documents certified in your home country. Then the documents must be mailed to Norway. Once the Norwegian authorities have received your documents the application process typically takes about six to eight weeks. Once issued, the CNI (or license) is valid for four months. Some applicants experience delays in their home countries, and documents can also be held up in customs. Therefore, it's essential to begin this process early.

This may sound complicated, but we're here to help. We've never had a couple who didn't receive their CNI.

Yes. No matter the season you choose, Aurland and Flåm provide a naturally breathtaking canvas for your wedding celebration. The fjords offer endless possibilities for a unique and unforgettable experience, allowing you to create a wedding that truly reflects your love story.

In the winter (December-February) you get the opportunity to embrace the magic of a winter wonderland. Aurland and Flåm transform into a winter paradise, blanketed in pristine snow. Imagine a horse-drawn sleigh ride through the snow-covered landscape leading to your ceremony, or exchanging vows under a sky ablaze with the Northern Lights (visible on clear nights with strong solar activity). While temperatures remain low, averaging around -5°C (23°F), cozy indoor venues with crackling fireplaces will keep you and your guests warm and comfortable.

A humanist officiant is someone from the Humanist Association who is a certified legal officiate. The humanist ceremony is a romantic, non-religious ceremony based on human values. Having a Humanist ceremony is more of a journey of love and values. The humanist officiant meets with couples beforehand to plan their ceremony where you can discuss options like your own vows, kiss, ring exchange, romantic reading or handfasting.

A symbolic celebrant is someone who conducts the wedding ceremony, but can not legally marry you. The ceremony is romantic with vows, rings etc. but will not be legally recognised. 

Yes. Two people of the same sex can get legally married in Norway. Don’t forget your CNI - Certificate of non-impediment if you are planning on getting legally married in Norway. For more information on CNI check out our CNI FAQ.

Destination weddings can often be more affordable than traditional weddings closer to home. Here's why:  

• Lower guest count: Typically, fewer guests can attend a destination wedding due to travel costs and time commitment, which can significantly reduce expenses on catering, venue size, and other per-person costs.   

• All-inclusive packages: Many resorts and venues offer wedding packages that bundle venue rental, food, drinks, and sometimes even decorations at a set price, which can be more cost-effective than hiring individual vendors.   

• Off-season discounts: Choosing a destination during its off-season can lead to lower prices for flights and accommodations.

• Less pressure for extravagance: Destination weddings often have a more relaxed and intimate vibe, reducing the pressure to spend on elaborate decorations or entertainment.

• However, it's essential to consider potential extra costs like travel for the couple and shipping items to the destination.

Stunning natural scenery: Imagine exchanging vows amidst breathtaking fjords, snow-capped mountains, and cascading waterfalls. Fjord weddings offer a unique and unforgettable backdrop for your special day.

All-inclusive packages: All-inclusive packages take the stress out of planning. These packages can include everything from the ceremony location and reception venue to catering, photography, and even decorations.

Customizable options: While fjord weddings offer a naturally stunning setting, they can also be customized to reflect your unique style. You can choose from a variety of ceremony locations, from rustic lodges to charming churches, and personalize your decorations and flowers to create a wedding that reflects your vision.

A fjord wedding could be the perfect choice if you:

• Love dramatic natural beauty: Fjords offer stunning landscapes with towering cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and serene waters. If you dream of a wedding surrounded by awe-inspiring scenery, a fjord is an ideal backdrop.

• Want a unique and adventurous experience: A fjord wedding is far from traditional. It offers a sense of adventure and exploration, creating unforgettable memories for you and your guests.

• Prefer a smaller, more intimate celebration: The remote nature of some fjord locations often lends itself to smaller guest lists, fostering a more intimate and personal experience.

• Appreciate tranquility and peace: Fjords offer a sense of serenity and escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, perfect for a peaceful and reflective wedding atmosphere.

• Enjoy outdoor activities: Many fjord regions offer opportunities for hiking, kayaking, and other outdoor activities, allowing you to incorporate adventure into your wedding celebration.

Ultimately, the decision of whether a fjord destination wedding is right for you depends on your priorities, preferences, and budget. Consider what aspects are most important to you for your special day and whether a fjord setting aligns with your vision.

Many couples start planning their wedding or elopement 12-18 months ahead of time, but some couples book their weddings just a couple of months ahead of time. It depends mostly on how quickly you can get details sorted out on your end and whether or not you would like to get legally married.
No matter when you start planning, remember to:

• Prioritize the most important aspects: Focus on the elements that matter most to you, whether it's the location, the photography, or a specific vendor.   

• Be flexible and adaptable: Destination weddings and elopements can involve unexpected challenges, so it's important to be open to adjustments and have backup plans in place.

In Flåm and Aurland you might see northern lights when:

• Strong solar activity: During periods of very strong solar activity, the Northern Lights can be seen further south, including in Flåm and Aurland. However, these events are unpredictable.

• Winter months: The best time to see the Northern Lights in general is during the dark winter months, from late September to early April. The darkest months (December and January) offer the best chances.

• Clear skies: You need clear skies to see the aurora. Cloudy weather will obscure the view.

• Tips for trying to see the Northern Lights in Flåm and Aurland:

• Get away from village lights: Head out of the village center to reduce light pollution. Hiking trails or open areas away from buildings are good options.

• Check the aurora forecast: Use a reliable aurora forecast app or website to monitor solar activity and predictions.

• Be patient: Even with favourable conditions, seeing the Northern Lights is not guaranteed. Be prepared to spend some time outside in the cold and dark.

While it's possible to see the Northern Lights in Flåm and Aurland under the right conditions, it's not the most reliable location. If you're determined to see northern lights, consider venturing further north or planning your trip around periods of predicted high solar activity. Check out our Aurora Borealis travel guide for more information about where, when and how to see northern lights in Norway. 

Yes. But Please review the guidelines for travelling to Norway with pets on Norwegian customs and Mattlisynet - the Norwegian Food Safety Authority.

Some generel guidelines:

• pets must have microchips, 

• Pets must have health certificate or pet passport, anti-rabies vaccination, anti-Echinococcus treatment 

• Pets must be checked in at a your point of entry to Norway or EU/EEA country. 

• Some breeds of dogs are not allowed in Norway. 

Pick up can be arranged anywhere. Let us know if you and your guests would like to get picked up and we will arrange transport. 

We recommend flyting to Flesland, Bergens International Airport as this is the closest international airport. However flights to Oslo international airport might be cheaper and we can pick you up there as well.

It’s also possible to travel to Flåm and Aurland with public transport. We recommend busses as they are more reliable than trains.

For a satisfying visit to Aurland and Nærøyfjord, we'd recommend a stay of 3 to 4 days. This will allow you to experience the highlights at a relaxed pace and enjoy some of the activities the area offers. Here's a possible itinerary:

Day 1: Arrive in Flåm (the main village in Aurland) and settle in. Take a scenic fjord cruise on the Aurlandsfjord and Nærøyfjord, which is a must-do. This will give you stunning views of the dramatic landscapes.

Day 2: Get married! 

Day 3: Ride the Flåm Railway, a breathtaking train journey up to Myrdal. Consider hiking or biking back down for a more immersive experience. You could also visit the Stegastein Viewpoint for panoramic views of the fjord. If you have time you could take a longer hike, explore more of the Aurlandsfjord by boat,

Day 4: Explore the surrounding area. You could visit the charming village of Undredal, known for its goat cheese, or go kayaking or hiking in the fjord landscape. or visit nearby attractions like the Borgund Stave Church.

Why 3-4 days is ideal:

• Sufficient time for key activities: This timeframe allows you to experience the main attractions without feeling rushed.

• Flexibility for weather: The weather in the fjords can be unpredictable. Having a few extra days gives you more chances to enjoy outdoor activities if the weather isn't ideal on your first day.

• Opportunity for deeper exploration: You can take your time to appreciate the scenery, visit smaller villages, and engage in more active pursuits like hiking or kayaking.

• If you're short on time, you could in addition to getting married technically see the main highlights in 2 days, but it would be a more packed itinerary. If you have more time, you could easily spend a week or more exploring the wider fjord region and enjoying activities like fishing, glacier walks, or multi-day hikes.

The ideal length of your stay depends on your interests and how much time you have available. But for a good balance of sightseeing and relaxation in Aurland and Nærøyfjord, 3-4 days is a great starting point.

Cozy fireplaces in historic venues like old churches or charming lodges can create a warm and intimate ambiance.

Imagine a horse-drawn sleigh ride through the snow-covered landscape leading to your ceremony, or exchanging vows under a sky ablaze with the Northern Lights (visible on clear nights with strong solar activity). While temperatures remain low, averaging around -5°C (23°F), cozy indoor venues with crackling fireplaces will keep your guests warm and comfortable.

Yes. We have beautiful vows scripts and many couples choose these. For some writing their own wedding vows can be a beautiful and personal experience, but there are some valid reasons why it might not be the right choice for every couple:

• Pressure and Stress: The thought of writing heartfelt vows in front of an audience can be daunting and anxiety-inducing for some people. If you're already feeling overwhelmed with wedding planning, adding this task might increase your stress levels.

• Difficulty Expressing Emotions: Not everyone is comfortable expressing deep emotions verbally or in writing. If you find it challenging to articulate your feelings, you might struggle to write vows that feel authentic and meaningful.

• Time Constraints: Writing heartfelt vows takes time, reflection, and effort. If you have a busy schedule or are planning your wedding on a tight timeline, you might not have the time to dedicate to crafting personalized vows.

• Preference for Tradition: Some couples prefer the traditional wording of classic wedding vows, finding comfort and meaning in their time-honored expressions of love and commitment.

• Fear of Public Speaking: Even if you write beautiful vows, the thought of reciting them in front of a crowd can be nerve-wracking. If you have a fear of public speaking, you might feel more comfortable with traditional vows that require less personal expression.

The decision of whether or not to write your own vows is a personal one. Consider your comfort level, time constraints, and preferences as a couple to determine what feels right for your wedding ceremony

There are many amazing locations in the area. If we talk about Flåm & Aurland as a location, we usually recommend one of these options:

• Propose on the terrace of a private fjord venue (this is a great option and the photographer can hide, so the future fiancée doesn’t suspect a thing);

• Up on the mountain road during your photoshoot adventure (for this you need a decoy story - maybe say that you booked a couple photoshoot in the fjords);

• On top of the mountain plateau (as a part of your photoshoot adventure - here you need a decoy story as well);

• Propose during an outdoor fjord romantic dinner;

• Pop the question on a private yacht while cruising the dramatic fjords (this comes at an extra cost depending on the yacht)

• We are also open to suggestions from your side!

Unfortunately this is not a service that we provide, but you are welcome to ask your hotel or accommodation for help in this matter.
