We always love arranging weddings in the castle, and our favorite is a Kronborg Castle. Otherwise known as Hamlet’s Castle as it is the castle that William Shakespeare set Hamlet in. Though in his play it is anglicised to ‘Elsinore Castle.’
Hamlet Castle, or Elsinore Castle
Situated in the port city of Hesignør, the castle dates back to 1420. Historically, ships would pass through the narrow straight into the Baltic Sea and pay their tolls at the castle making Helsingør one of the most important towns in Europe. Its fascinating history has earned it UNESCO World Heritage Site status.
Getting Married in the Castle
Mr M and Miss G who live and work in Germany chose to get married at Kronborg Castle through our Castle Wedding package that sees couples having a fairy-tale Danish castle wedding.
Both are fans of history so it was the perfect wedding venue for them.
Miss G’s sister made the wedding dress in a gorgeous vintage style that gave her a perfect silhouette and it was complimented with the chicest hat. And Mr M didn’t disappoint in a very dapper three-piece blue suit complete the flat cap and bow tie.
Their style on the day, that we would describe as vintage glamour, really suited the castle’s opulent and impressive interiors. Effortlessly stylish and chic, this pair looked like the owned the place!
Their intimate wedding ceremony was held in one of the castles historic rooms.
This was followed by a tour of the castle where they stopped to enjoy a first dance as a married couple in one of the gorgeous rooms that had amazing period features like grand chandeliers, an ornate fireplace, a checkerboard floor and wall art.
The room was bathed in natural light through the large feature windows. Here take a look!
After the castle tour, the pair headed down to the beach with our adventure wedding photographer with them to capture every beautiful moment.
We loved the image we got of them on the way to the beach, as they passed the traditional colourful Danish houses, and stopped for a second to perch on a bike.
We loved arranging and capturing Miss G and Mr M’s beautiful Danish castle wedding. If you’ve dreamed of getting married in a castle or are looking for elopement abroad ideas for your wedding, we hope we’ve given you some inspiration.

We felt like a princess and a prince from the Middle Ages... We would like to express our utmost gratitude for all your contributions to making our marriage an unforgettable day!
Thank you, Lena, for your support from the very beginning on all the details required for our marriage.
