I recently helped plan and photograph a wedding at Kokkedal Slot, and I have to say, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish.
The Setup: We rented the ground floor for the ceremony, which we decorated in a romantic, elegant style. The high ceilings and classic architecture made the space look incredible. To add to the atmosphere, we had a violin and cello playing live, and the acoustics were perfect. Upstairs on the first floor, we transformed the room into an intimate dining area for the reception. It felt so cozy and personal for the dinner.
Photo Spots: This place is a gem for photos. The terraces and staircases at both entrances are beautiful for group shots and portraits. However, the highlight is the huge backyard. With the hotel as the backdrop, it creates an incredibly beautiful and timeless image. My personal favorite spots are the ceremony room itself (so elegant) and the welcoming front entrance.
The Logistics: We got lucky that the day flowed really well. Moving from the ceremony downstairs to the reception upstairs was easy. There is a lounge on the ground floor and a balcony on the first floor for guests to mingle. If the weather is nice, the big terrace outside the lounge is perfect for an outdoor reception.
Heads Up & Honesty: The getting-ready room for the couple was a little on the small side and could have used better lighting, so keep that in mind for hair and makeup. It was actually cloudy and rainy on the day, but because our ceremony was indoors, it wasn't an issue at all. It just proves that if you plan an outdoor event here, make sure you have a solid backup plan!
Lighting: The afternoon light in the ground floor lounge and on the terrace is beautiful. In the summer, the big tree in the yard provides a lovely romantic vibe for photos.
The Dream Team: I also have to mention the wonderful vendors we worked with. The florist tied the elegant classical vibe together perfectly, the cake was a special design that fit the theme, and the live musicians truly elevated the ceremony.
