What is the attire?

Cocktail attire, but feel free to make it your own! Bright colors, glitter, and culturally traditional attire are all warmly welcomed. Make it more dressy or more relaxed, we just want you to feel comfortable and have a good time.

Is there transportation to and from the venue?

Yes! Our wedding venue is on the outskirts of Helsinki, so you can either travel there yourself by train/taxi or you can sign up for a shuttle bus. More information will be shared the summer regarding pickup location and time. For friends in Finland, there is a large parking lot available with free parking spaces if you would like to drive to Hirvihaaran.

Can I RSVP online or do I have to mail in a card?

You can mail in a card, but we prefer online RSVPs, so that you have access to the full list of questions (such as meal preference, dietary restrictions, and song requests). You can RSVP here via English or Finnish.

Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors? What weather should I expect?

The ceremony and cocktail hour will be outdoors and the reception will be at the same venue, but indoors. Typically the weather in September is very lovely: sunny during the day, with a slight autumn chill at night. It usually isn’t very rainy during September, so hopefully we have good luck with that! The sun will set around 9pm.

Is the venue wheelchair accessible?

Yes! There is a ramp into the reception space and a lift up and down to the restrooms.

I’ve never been to Helsinki, how many days should I come for?

Helsinki is a more relaxed capital city of Europe. There are many museums to visit, but the best part of Helsinki is walking in nature, exploring the shore line, and relaxing in a sauna! We recommend to take at least two full days in Helsinki and one full day to take a ferry trip down to Tallinn. If you have more time, there are wonderful other places to explore in southern Finland - or you can travel through the Nordics and Baltics!
