wedding help for lainio...

hi anyone...

myself and my fiance are planning to get married in finland jan/feb 2011, we have found acommodation we like in levi which are advertised as north star chalets in the uk but i found out these are part of the k5.

we have been looking at the lainio snow village to get married...

can anyone give any information on any of the following please, anything will be a great help.

where%26#39;s nicest to actually get married, i like the thought of the ice chapel but have only really seen pics of the wooden one...?

where you would have the meal after, is it so cold that you would have to wear snow suits to have a meal in the ice hotel? the tuikku at top of levi gondala looks nice too but not sure...?

where would you spend your wedding night? glass igloo%26#39;s look a little close together for privacy, the snow villages teepee looks nice...?

would you book the wedding through a tour operator / through the hotel / snow village / or indipendantly?

any contacts for any wedding plans i.e co-ordinators, florist, photographer, car, coach, meal, cake, etc?

if anyone could let me know of the cost for the total wedding over there and what that included?

anyone have fire works?

any info would be grately appreciated

thanx. carlie.

Hi Carlie

I am getting married at lainio village, in the wooden chapel March 2010, so if you decide to go there then I can always tell you about my experience. I have booked through the travel agents Travelbee ? and im staying in a teepee cabin. Not sure about what to do for the wedding meal myself yet? I had the same thoughts as you, apparently there is a cosy restarant near the wooden chapel and we will probably go there...although I am still searching for information, which seems hard to come by!

Thanks

Clare

We are also thinking about getting married there and are unsure where to stay. We are planning to get married in 2011 also so any information would be great for me too. Thanks

Hi

I have been to lanio its a fab place - look at www.laplandforum.com you will find lots of pics of lanio on there.

Also went to the resteraunt there and had coffee and cakes, I hope this isnt the same as where your wedding meal wil be as although great for a snack not a great romantic place for your wedding breakfast. There is a ice bar inside which is fab with glass tables etc, maybe they could do something for you in there instead. If not, if it was me i would opt for either yllas or levi for a nice meal, yllas being the closest.
