The Merchants House, located on the town square of Ærøskøbing, is the perfect wedding venue for couples who want to get married with minimum stress but maximum “hygge”.
Our private wedding venue for all seasons – we help you through the documentation process with AFL and plan your wedding day. We also meet you the day before and go through all final details in person, and we will of course be on hand during the ceremony. Fees to the local authorities & registrar are included.
When it is time for the ceremony, we decorate the wedding room with fresh seasonal flowers, style a beautiful setup of crystal champagne glasses, a vintage champagne ice bucket and fine China. A bottle of Champagne is included as well as a sweet treat, and a non-alcoholic drink choice. If you want to order a wedding cake, we set it up in the room for you too. That way, you can enjoy a toast with eachother, or with friends & family, after the ceremony in style.
You can always add a bottle of Champagne if you have more guests, and if you require more time to linger in the wedding room and take photos, just let us know. If you’re bringing guests, we make sure that there are glasses and chairs for everyone, and you have more time in the wedding room, and witnesses are provided if you decide to elope.
The room accommodates maximum 30 people, but if you have more than 8 guests we recommend a reception in the cosy old Merchants House café right downstairs - perfect for receptions inside, or outside in the courtyard next to our local little whisky distillery.
