Information in English

Here we have compiled everything you need to know about our wedding including travel information and an accomodation guide. The information will be updated continuously, so please check back here as the wedding approaches for more up-to-date information. 

We have decided not to have a traditional toastmaster - if you have any questions you are welcome to contact us! You can find our contact details at the bottom of the page.

The Venue - Nygårds herrgård

We are getting married at Nygård's herrgård, which is located on the beautiful island Gotland. If you are traveling from abroad, please see our detailed travel information below.

Nygård's herrgård is located approximately 5 km south of central Visby. 

We recommend taking a car or a taxi to the wedding. There are plenty of parking spaces at the venue. To book a taxi, we recommend Taxi Gotland, which you can reach on phone number +46 498-200 200.

We will be spending time in the garden and inside the barn on two floors connected by stairs. There is no elevator. There are two bathrooms located by the entrance on the bottom floor.

For International Guests - Getting to Gotland

The wedding is on Gotland, an island in the Baltic Sea. You can get to Gotland either by plane or by ferry. There is lots of good information about traveling to Gotland at destinationgotland.se/en 

GETTING TO SWEDEN
You'll be arriving at Arlanda airport (ARN) or Nyköping (NYO). We recommend Arlanda if possible, Nyköping is quite far from Stockholm.

CONNECTING FLIGHTS FROM ARN
Connecting flights to Visby fly from Arlanda with SAS / BRA airlines. You'll need to switch terminals. All terminals are connected buildings but there is some walking involved.

FERRY FROM NYNÄSHAMN
- Ferries leave several times a day from Nynäshamn using Destination Gotland. Crossing takes about 3½ hours.
- Book a seat, even if it costs extra. A ticket with no seat reservation means you need to hunt for a seat at the restaurant, which gets crowded.
- There is a restaurant and shops on board
- Book tickets here: destinationgotland.se/en

You can bring a rental car on board if you've booked a car ticket. You can also book the "transfer bus" to take you from Stockholm Central to the Ferry Terminal. You can also get to Nynäshamn Ferry terminal via Commuter Train (Pendeltåg) from Stockholm Central.

Once you get off the ferry in Visby, you will only be a short walk (500m) away from the city center with all the shops, restaurants and hotels. The wedding venue is approximately 5 km south of central Visby.

Dress code

The most important thing for us is that you feel beautiful. Put on something that feels festive and summery! As it will be August, it can be hot during the day, but keep in mind that it will get colder in the evening. The wedding ceremony will take place on a lawn. We therefore recommend shoes that are suitable for socializing in nature and possibly a pair of party shoes to change into if you want. 

Accommodation

We recommend that you book accommodation and transportation to Gotland well in advance, as there is high pressure on Gotland during the summer.

To make it easier for our guests, we have created a guide with recommendations. We have also negotiated discount offers with a number of hotels. See the accommodation guide by clicking the download link below. We will be staying at Donners hotell.

There are also lots of different accommodation options in Visby via e.g. Airbnb and similar rental sites.
