Stockholm, with its blend of Nordic charm, waterfront beauty, and historic grandeur, offers some of the most magical places to tie the knot. Whether you’re dreaming of an intimate ceremony or a grand celebration.
As a wedding photographer for 10 years I have worked with so many couples and I have learned that every wedding has its own personality – every couple have their own rich journey and a particular style and the venue they choose pretty much represents them and it actually becomes part of their story.
There are so many things to consider when choosing a venue for your wedding so I put together a curated list of the best places to get married and celebrate your wedding party — and what makes each of them uniquely perfect. And you will also find a little check-list that I hope will guide you choosing what would be the scenery of the best day of your life.

Tips for Choosing Your Ideal Wedding Venue
- Guest List & Capacity
- Know your expected headcount; venues vary from intimate (like Villa Lovik’s 70 pax) to sprawling (Münchenbryggeriet, Artipelag)
- Ceremony + Reception in One Place?
- Combine convenience and flow with venues that support both, like Bosön, Artipelag, Art Decor spaces, and Ulfsunda Slott.
- Location & Accessibility
- Think public transport vs. driving. Lidingö gems may require car or boat (e.g., Villa Lovik) .
- Style & Mood
- Decide between church weddings (traditional) or secular venues (artist homes, castle, barn) that reflect your personalities.
- Accommodation Options
- Venues with overnight stays (Bosön, Ulfsunda Slott) are ideal for multi-day celebrations or hosting out-of-town guests.
- Season & Weather
- Outdoor options (Millesgården terraces, Långängens barn) shine in summer; ensure indoor contingency.
- Tailored Services or DIY
- Some places offer full services (Bosön, Skogshem & Wijk), others permit external catering/decorators—plan accordingly.
- Budget & Hidden Costs
- Remember extras: alcohol permit, insurance, setup/cleanup fees. DIY venues often save money if you handle logistics personally
Pro Tip: Best of Both Worlds?
Some venues like Ulfsunda Slott, Artipelag, and Villa Källhagen are perfect for both the ceremony and the party, streamlining your logistics and allowing you to enjoy your day with less travel stress.
Stockholm truly offers something for every kind of wedding — from garden vows to castle banquets and urban parties. The best venue is the one that matches your story and style — but these tried-and-true spots are sure to make your big day unforgettable.
