The coolest place for a white wedding

Many people are put off by the idea of expensive big white wedding where the focus seems to be on the numerous eccentric relatives that take over the day, rather than the couple getting married.

In a growing trend couples are opting to have small unique memorable wedding abroad that focus on their needs instead. Weekend a La Carte has recognized this and offers the personalized service of developing tailor-made Arctic wedding breaks to give people the ultimate romantic white wedding.

Often people comment that after the wedding the only things left are the marriage, the memories and the photos. This is even more so in the Arctic as the wedding ceremony takes place in an Ice Chapel which melts in the summer and is built every year to a new design.

Weekend a La Carte will ensure that the wedding breaks are customized exactly to how the couples desire but recommends a combination of staying in an ice suite on a bed of ice, a private ceremony in an Ice church, a private sled dog safari stopping for a romantic meal around the fireside in a Lavu whilst hoping the Northern Lights will appear, before continuing to a private wilderness cabin for their first night of marriage. Snowmobile trips are also available to add the exhilaration factor.

Kevin Collins the MD of Weekend a La Carte comments that whilst some couples have worn traditional wedding dress and attire, others have got married in the arctic suits that are provided for the activities.

“The beauty of this wedding break is that it is all about the couples and what memories they want to create. All couples have found it to be a romantic, exhilarating and unforgettable start to their marriage”

Prices for weddings with a full itinerary of activities start at £2,500 per person.
