Luxwedding Iceland

Luxwedding plans weddings and elopements in Iceland for couples who live abroad, and it is led by Vigdís from an office in Kópavogur, on the edge of Reykjavik. The company is a member of the Icelandic Tourist Board, which allows it to plan every detail of a wedding in the country, including accommodation, transport and activities for the wedding party.

The work runs from a couple of people eloping on a glacier to a celebration for 120 guests from 14 countries, and a 23-person group taken on a nine-day tour of the country. Couples usually plan from another country, so most of the process happens by video call and email, with the Luxwedding team on the ground in Iceland.

“Luxwedding combines creativity with a meticulous eye for detail and we seamlessly execute your special day from the first contact to the final farewell.”

Luxwedding

Ceremonies are set in the landscape rather than in a room: beside waterfalls on the south coast, at Þingvellir, in the Þórsmörk valley, inside a lava tunnel or an ice cave, on a glacier, and on the Reykjanes peninsula. Receptions have been held in private dining rooms at luxury hotels and in Reykjavik restaurants.

Luxwedding works with a trusted circle of Icelandic suppliers, and finds officiants, photographers, videographers, florists and hair and make-up artists for each couple. It also guides couples through the paperwork needed for the marriage to be legal in their home country, and offers a free 15-minute call before anyone commits.

The style is adventurous but comfortable: cold-weather practicalities are part of the planning, and the team chooses quieter locations even in busy areas so that ceremonies stay private.

she went above and beyond

We got married in Iceland this March and the smartest thing we did was contacting Vigdis! To echo the other reviewers, Vigdis made our dream wedding better than anything we even dreamed of ourselves! Over the 1.5 years we spent emailing & Skyping each other, she went above and beyond and helped us plan not only the wedding but a 9-day tour around Iceland for our group of 23 people. Thanks to all her efforts and personal tailoring (to maximize the chances), we even saw the Northern Lights! The whole thing was an incredible adventure, filled with memories that will stay with us forever. Thank you for making our magic happen!

Constant availability and warm energy

When my fiance and I decided to forego the typical wedding and travel from Toronto, Canada to Iceland for our big day, we didn’t know where to start. We were looking for an easy and stress free experience that captured our love for travel and adventure with the natural beauty of Iceland. Vigdis was an essential part of making sure our wish for easy and intimate nuptials became a reality. She covered everything from paperwork, to the locations, to the officiant and the cuisine and was in constant communication with me in advance of the day, making me feel extremely confident before the big day. She showed up so prepared, having thought of everything (including extra bobby pins and hairspray for photos and a warm jacket for in between shots). Thank you for your helpful advice, excellent organizational skills, constant availability and warm energy. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a more special day.

she ensured that everything came together perfectly

My husband and I celebrated our wedding in Iceland in June, never having stepped foot in the country and with 120 guests coming from all corners of the world (14 different nationalities!). Vigdís planned the event of a lifetime and made the entire experience completely stress-free for both of us! We spent a really fun year planning together, and she ensured that everything came together perfectly. Beautiful scenery, exquisite venues, and delicious food. The entire wedding had an absolute blast! And its all thanks to Luxwedding! I would HIGHLY recommend Luxwedding if you are getting married in Iceland!!!!

Questions couples ask

Before you write to them

Where does Luxwedding work?

Luxwedding plans weddings throughout Iceland, including the south coast waterfalls, Þingvellir, the Þórsmörk valley, the Reykjanes peninsula, glaciers, lava tunnels and Reykjavik.

How much does Luxwedding cost?

The cost depends on the wedding. Couples can book a free 15-minute call to talk through their plans and ask for a price for full planning, partial planning or day coordination.

What planning services are offered?

Full wedding planning, partial planning for couples who want to organise some elements themselves, and coordination on the day. Luxwedding can also plan engagements, honeymoons and anniversaries in Iceland.

How far ahead should we plan?

Timing varies. Couples have planned over a year or more for large weddings, and one couple planned a winter wedding within five months, so it is worth enquiring as early as you can.

How many guests can Luxwedding plan for?

Weddings have ranged from elopements for two people to a 120-guest celebration, with small groups of eight and 23 guests also planned, often with several days of touring.

Can Luxwedding help with the legal paperwork?

Yes. The team explains the paperwork required and helps couples ensure the marriage is recognised in their home country, and arranges the officiant.

Can we plan the wedding from abroad?

Yes. Most couples plan from another country by video call and email, and the team handles the on-the-ground arrangements in Iceland.

What languages does the team work in?

English.
