The lighthouse, named Skjoldnæs Fyr, is located on the north-western tip of Ærø, by Ærø golf course. it is a 35 -minute drive from Ærøskøbing. It was built in 1881 out of Bornholm granite and measures 22 meters to the top, where the ceremony takes place. Luckily, there is always a sheltered side to find – depending on the wind direction - and the view can be enjoyed from all directions.

Lighthouse Wedding package €3600
A wedding ceremony with spectacular views, for adventurous couples who want something a little different. We close off the lighthouse from visitors for 1 and a half hours so that you can enjoy the ceremony in all its simplicity, outside, at the very top of the lighthouse with stunning views. Candles are lit and music is played on arrival.
This venue is perfect for elopers, with its Nordic-style hygge and windswept charm. It includes a bottle of Champagne for you to enjoy as a toast afterwards and a non-alcoholic option and sweets. We help you through the documentation process with AFL and plan your wedding day. We also meet you the day before and go through all final details in person, and we will of course be on hand during the ceremony. Fees to the local authorities and registrar are included.
Due to limited space, not more than 2-3 guests are recommended and for elopers we provide witnesses.
Because the lighthouse is situated on the most westerly tip of the island, ( a 30 minute drive from Ærøskøbing) a steady breeze is to be expected, but there is always shelter to be found in the small rustic nook in the light house itself.
Practical shoes will enhance the experience!
