All around Ærø you will find particularly beautiful natural areas, all of which will form the finest backdrop for your ceremony. E.g. Næbbet and Vitsø close to Søby. Or you can visit Ærø's "little brother", Birkholm, and get married there.
On Ærø you will find many historic buildings and cozy urban spaces, which will also be special as a background for the wedding photos. For example, the iconic bathhouses along Vesterstrand and Eriks Hale.
The wedding party
Ærø is particularly capable of delivery when it comes to locations for the wedding party. And this applies for both the extensive and the intimate love celebration.
There is room for the big party at Teglværkspladsen. With both an outdoor kitchen, a giant teepee party tent, a wilderness bath and glamping tents for overnight stays, there is plenty of room for an unconventional celebration.
Susanna & John's beautiful courtyard is the perfect setting for an intimate party with just your loved ones. The flower beds are fragrant and buzzing with life, and here you can be completely to yourself.
If you are into fairy tale like party settings, you should definitely hold the party at Søbygaard. Here you get a lot of local history, ducal atmosphere, chivalrous moat and white ladies for your money.
Many of the island's restaurants and cafes can also easily accommodate wedding parties of all sizes. And the menus range from locally grown to seafood to Italian.
Combine accommodation and venue by having the party at one of the local hotels. Service and hospitality are paramount, and you can sit back and relax during planning and celebrating.
