Our Wedding

The wedding will take place in Aarhus, the 2nd largest City in Denmark. Aarhus can be reached by road, train or bus. Car hire is economical from airports with a UK license. We think Aarhus is an awesome spot for a weekend (or longer) break but if you fancy seeing Copenhagen too, you could easily do both. Billund is accessible by car or bus (not train) and is home to LEGOLAND, LEGO House and many other attractions. Travelling to Aarhus by air:Daily:British Airways from Heathrow &gt; Billund. Aarhus is a 1.5 hour bus ride from Billund Multiple airlines and airports to Copenhagen which is a 3 hour train journey. Fares start from £12 each way on DSB app / website. 'Orange Fri' tickets are the cheapest, and are usually made available 2 months prior to departure date. You can book here: https://www.dsb.dk/ Multiple airports and airlines to Hamburg which is a 4 hour drive to Aarhus Multiple times per week:Ryanair from Manchester &gt; Billund Ryanair from Stansted &gt; Aarhus. You can bus from the airport to the City centre Unfortunately there is no Uber in Aarhus. 'Dantaxi' is an app that works in a similar way.

Hotels

There are plenty of airbnbs. We recommend the following areas: Aarhus Ø: a modern, waterfront district that has transformed in recent years into a vibrant area with contemporary architecture, new residential buildings, offices, and cultural spaces. It’s known for its stunning views of the sea, new developments like the Iceberg (a unique residential complex), and the waterfront promenade. We live here. 10 minute walk from evening venue. Frederiksbjerg: a lively and charming district near the city centre. Known for its mix of old and new architecture, it offers a variety of independent shops, cafes, restaurants, and markets. 30 minute walk from evening venue. The Latin Quarter: This historic district is one of Aarhus’ most picturesque areas, characterized by narrow, cobbled streets and colourful buildings. It’s a hub for arts, culture, and history, with quirky boutiques, galleries, cafes, and a range of traditional Danish architecture. 20 minute walk from evening venue. Risskov: a peaceful, residential neighbourhood, offering a combination of green spaces, parks, and proximity to the beach. It’s ideal for families and those seeking a quieter, nature-filled setting while still being close to the city centre. Short taxi ride from evening venue.

Airbnb

Aarhus is a safe city with more bikes than people. It has everything you’d expect from a city (and more), yet its petit size means it’s easy to explore on foot or two wheels. The main tourist attractions include... ARoS Aarhus Art Museum: One of Denmark’s largest and most impressive art museums, ARoS features a diverse range of contemporary and classic art. Don’t miss the iconic "Your Rainbow Panorama" – a circular glass walkway offering panoramic views of the city in vibrant colours. Den Gamle By (The Old Town): This open-air museum brings Denmark’s past to life with historical buildings, interactive exhibits, and reenactments. It’s a fascinating step back in time, showcasing life in Danish towns from the 19th and early 20th centuries. The Latin Quarter: Aarhus’ historic Latin Quarter is full of charm, with its narrow, cobbled streets, colourful buildings, boutiques, and cozy cafes. It’s a great place to wander, shop, and enjoy the artistic atmosphere. The Waterfront in Aarhus Ø: The modern waterfront district offers scenic views of the sea, beautiful architecture, and a lively atmosphere. You can explore the Iceberg building, relax by the water, or enjoy the local cafes and restaurants. Mindeparken &amp; Marselisborg Palace Gardens: Mindeparken is a pretty park home to the city’s war memorial. Nearby, the Marselisborg Palace Gardens offer beautiful grounds and a chance to see the Danish royal family’s summer residence. Salling Rooftop: located on top of the Salling department store, it offers stunning panoramic views of the city, including the harbour, Aarhus Ø, and the iconic skyline. The rooftop features a café, bar, garden area, and awesome observation deck. Dokk1: a modern cultural and community hub located by the waterfront, serving as the city’s main library and a centre for innovation and creativity. With its striking architectural design, it offers a variety of spaces for events, exhibitions, and public services, and hosts an array of playareas outside.

Our Favourite Spots! 

Do you have a gift list?No, your presence is the best gift! What if we still want to bring a gift?We know airplanes and gifts aren't the best combination so if you are set on bringing something, we would love a small contribution to a piece of Danish furniture we have our eyes on. Alternatively we are planning a short break straight after the wedding in Europe so a contribution to a drink or two would be gratefully appreciated. We promise to spend wisely and share pictures!
