Ahlström Noormarkku is not just any wedding location. Dating back as far as 1402 and originally an ironworks area, it was purchased in 1870 by Antti Ahlström. Antti was a businessman from the Merikarvia area, and happens to be Dani's great-great-grandfather.

The Ahlström family built three renowned family residences on the estate. Isotalo with it’s famous staircase and haunted tower, where we will enjoy the wedding dinner, was built in 1881. The beautiful Havulinna from 1901, where we will celebrate on Saturday night, was the childhood home for Dani’s grandfather Tom. Villa Mairea, designed by world famous architect Alvar Aalto and his wife Aino Aalto was finished in 1939 and is bookable for an architectural tour.

Today, the area houses a museum, a restaurant and a number of guest houses.
