Winter Wedding in the Stockholm Archipelago
A winter wedding at Hackholmssund is a weekend when the whole estate is yours, a ceremony in daylight, dinner by the fire and Lake Mälaren outside the day after.
Chapter 4.1 / Winter Weddings
A winter wedding with Hackholmssund to yourselves
When you marry here, you are our only guests. No other parties, no conferences in the room next door.
We have no set packages. Instead, we plan the day with you: the timings, the menu, where the ceremony takes place and how the evening ends.
Winter also has a calm of its own. The calendar is more open than in summer, so you can choose a date that feels right for you.

Ceremony indoors or under the winter sky
Where the ceremony takes place is decided together with you, based on your party. The pier by Lake Mälaren, the garden pavilion and the Villa terrace can all be used year round, and a short ceremony in frost or snow is often what guests remember longest. If indoors suits you better, we will arrange that.
In December the sun sets just before three in the afternoon around Stockholm. Hold the ceremony and photographs early in the afternoon. That way you get pictures in daylight, and the rest of the day moves indoors.
If you would like a church wedding, there are several churches nearby. You arrange your own officiant, but we are happy to help with the planning.

A winter menu from the garden, forest and lake
Food is at the heart of every wedding here. Our kitchen draws on Nordic gastronomy and on what grows around the estate: fish from Lake Mälaren, mushrooms from the forest and honey from our own beehives. Apples, sea buckthorn and Jerusalem artichokes from the garden are dried, juiced and preserved through the autumn. Those stores are what the winter menu is built on.
The wedding dinner is usually three to four courses. The menu follows the season and your wishes, and you taste it before the wedding. You arrange the wedding cake yourselves.

An evening by the fire
Once darkness falls, everyone gathers indoors. Dinner, speeches and dancing all happen under one roof, and the fire keeps the room warm while it is below freezing outside. Nobody needs to watch the clock or catch the last train. Nobody is going anywhere.
The day after: sauna and a dip in Lake Mälaren
The lakeside sauna is open all year and holds around ten people at a time. From the pier you can swim straight into Lake Mälaren, and when the lake freezes over we keep a hole in the ice open.
If you prefer to stay warm, the relaxation area has a pool at around 30 degrees, a jacuzzi and saunas.

Accommodation for all your wedding guests
Hackholmssund sleeps up to 65 guests in single rooms, or 95 if some share. Your whole party can stay overnight, and nobody has to drive home on icy roads late at night. Rooms are booked for the whole group, not individually.
You all wake up in the same place. Breakfast becomes part of the celebration rather than a hurried goodbye.
