Fairytale Wedding

 

Where fairytales come to life!

Do you dream of a truly unique wedding? With a ceremony in Scandinavia’s southernmost ice cathedral and trolls seated at the table during the celebration, you can be sure your special day will be an experience far beyond the ordinary.

Imagine getting married like a real-life Cinderella, in an ice cathedral beautifully carved from snow and ice, surrounded by ice art and breathtaking light effects. The atmosphere inside the ice cathedral is almost impossible to put into words — it is simply magical. And the fairytale continues…

Every winter, the ice cathedral is built with a new theme and design. Elisabeth Kristiansen, Norway’s only professional ice artist, has been the cathedral’s resident artist in recent years. The ice cathedral is completed at the end of January, and we host weddings here through the first weekend in March.

The wedding dinner and celebration take place in the fairytale-like Trollsalen Restaurant, located deep inside the Fairytale Grotto at Hunderfossen Family Park. It is also possible to host the wedding dinner at Hunderfossen Hotel.

It is a great honour for us to host weddings, and it is important that you feel well taken care of throughout your stay. At Hunderfossen, we have extensive experience in creating unforgettable weddings for couples who want something truly unique. No two weddings are alike, and every detail will be planned from the moment you arrive at the hotel until the moment you return home, happy and married.

We tailor your wedding package to suit your wishes and help you plan one of life’s greatest occasions.

Hunderfossen Ice Cathedral is Scandinavia's southernmost of its kind, and the only one in Norway south of the Arctic Circle. It is rebuilt every year, and is usually completed by the last weekend of January.

On 18 January 2025, we celebrated our wedding at Hunderfossen Family Park — a fairytale from beginning to end.

From the very start of the planning process, we were met with professional and welcoming support from Anne Lene, who took the time to understand our wishes and offer creative suggestions along the way. The excellent communication allowed us to relax and feel confident that everything would go according to plan.

On the wedding day itself, we experienced a wonderful atmosphere, with snow-covered surroundings and magical scenery that created a truly unique setting for our celebration. Throughout the entire day, the park’s staff were attentive and flexible, allowing us to focus fully on each other and on our guests. The guides took excellent care of everyone while we were away having our photos taken, and our guests were delighted with their visits to both the Fairytale Castle and the Music Factory.

Anne Brit and the kitchen team guided us smoothly through the dinner, serving delicious locally sourced food — and the vegetarians and guests with allergies were also extremely happy with their alternatives.

Hunderfossen and their staff have a true passion for creating unforgettable experiences, and we cannot praise them highly enough. Here, you really are in safe hands. We wish we could do it all over again!

Anne Lene and her assistant, Anne Brit, made sure we had everything we needed at all times. They looked after both us and our guests, and found good solutions whenever anything unexpected came up along the way — always with a smile. It was wonderful to have such steady and reassuring people around us on a day when everything felt a little overwhelming.

The ice cathedral was strikingly beautiful. The decorations, the colours, the sound and the lighting — everything was perfect. Trollsalen was beautifully set and ready when we arrived, and the food and drinks were absolutely excellent. Then came the party and the music, and we enjoyed ourselves for the rest of the evening.

We had a magical weekend, and all our guests were delighted to be able to share this fantastic experience with us.

Thank you so much for a memory we will never forget — a fairytale, and a truly perfect day.
