Couples from all over the world come to Jukkasjärvi to pledge eternal fidelity to each other. Children from far and wide are baptized here. And already married couples can have their marriage blessed in the celestially beautiful ice chapel. ICEHOTEL can assist by providing formal requirements, such as an investigation as to possible impediments.
The planning time for a wedding in the ice chapel varies from a few months to a few years. We recommend that you contact us well in advance.
Regarding clothing, everything from traditional bridal dress to a snowmobile suit will work. It is wise, however, to think in terms of warmth.
Couples who wish to get married in the summer, bathed in the warmth and light of the midnight sun, may choose Jukkasjärvi Chapel, the oldest wooden chapel in Lapland – or why not an outdoor wedding in the countryside?
Regarding consideration of impediments to marriage
Wedding couples from countries outside of Sweden has to make a personal and formal visit to the local Tax Office in Kiruna and apply for a certificate regarding consideration of impediments to marriage (hindersprövning). For more information, please contact the Wedding Coordinator at ICEHOTEL.
