General Information
Dress code
Feel free to embrace the earth beneath you on this nature reserve island and ground yourself as shoes are optional for the ceremony. Find our Mood Board here.
Men: “Tie Meets Barefoot”
Wear your best suit and prioritise the non-black one. Please don’t wear jeans. If you don’t own a suite, or the day is too hot, then linen pants or chinos/suit pants with a white shirt will look slick on you as well.
Women: “Colorful Fairytale”
Every colour is welcome and feel free to go soft and pastell. We’re thinking no patterns but a simple single color (not black or white).
Others/Non-Binary: Choose from above.
Food and beverages
This will be a vegan wedding, and we’ve arranged all meals to make it a delicious celebration! On the 29th, we’ll kick things off with a lovely vegan dinner (drinks included). On the 30th, enjoy breakfast, finger food, our big wedding dinner, and a late-night snack. To wrap it all up, there will be a hearty brunch on the 31st.
More Hungry? There will be vegan wraps waiting for you between 12-2pm. If you want to grab drinks, you can purchase them at the beach bar throughout the day. Please let us know in the RSVP, if you want to have lunch on the 30th, as the location won’t be able to handle 70 spontaneous guests ;) Most cottages also have kitchens, so feel free to bring snacks to the island. If your cottage doesn’t have a kitchen, you’re welcome to use the ones in the other houses.
Lastly, please let us know about any allergies when you RSVP—we want everyone to enjoy the food as much as the celebration!
Kids
Although we adore your children we regretfully are unable to accommodate them at our venue. We hope that you see this as an opportunity to let your hair down and celebrate with us. We wish for this wedding to be an adult celebration with no kids, especially for the ceremony, the dinner and the party.
But if you are breast feeding or are traveling from abroad and have to bring your young children, please talk to Katharina for arrangements. There is space for us to book one or maybe two babysitters to stay over and handle the children for the afternoon and evening festivities.
Please also keep in mind that the island is really small and you will never be further than 2-3 walking minutes away from your cottage/child.
Cost and Gifts
The gift is that you are traveling and showing up for our magical day.
The accommodation cost is 300€ / per person in total for both nights. This of course includes all the meals and drinks. This is your only wedding present. Thanks so much for sharing this day with us.

Activities and Sauna
You can always feel free to swim and stroll around the Island. The sauna is accessible at any time with possible other guests of the island, but we have booked it privately for naked (german style) sauna on July 29th from 8pm-1am. We would kindly ask you to not bring your cell-phones to the sauna and to not take any pictures. We also booked the sauna privately on July 30th from 10am-12pm and on July 31st from 12-2pm. Those slots are private, but there will be day-guests at the beach bar, so please wear your bikinis during those slots ;)
On July 30th between 10.30am-1pm, we have arranged for activities such as Kayak and Yoga, Meditation and more.
Please bring warm clothes for the potential cold Swedish evenings!
Accomodation
Sleeping
We will take care of the room assignments for the cottages. If you have any special requirements, please let us know. Most cottages have shared bathrooms, some are smaller glamping cottages with super sexy bathroom right outside by the sauna instead.
Almost all cottages have kitchens and a living space as well. For those staying in the smaller glamping cottages - you are always welcome into any of the bigger cottages/houses to use the living area and the kitchen.
We’ll try our best to be fair and to make your stay pleasant. Towels, sheets, soap and shampoo are included and available. More info will be available later this year.

If you are taking a car to Stavsnäs Brygga, Please be early, remember that there are limited parking spots (70 spots) and parkings can not be booked in advance.
Also make sure you download the correct app to park the car. It’s clearly marked which app by the parking spots. If you are running late, and panicking, then find an illegal park spot; getting a ticket in Sweden is pricy, but definitely cheaper than missing the ferry and having to book a taxi boat ;-)
