Iceland Wedding Planner: Do You Really Need One?
The most useful thing to know about marrying in Iceland has nothing to do with waterfalls. Your certificate of no impediment, the document that makes the marriage legal, sets a clock running: the ceremony has to take place within 30 days of the date on it. Every other decision, the flights, the region, the celebrant,…

Vows at 1am: Iceland’s Midnight Sun, Month by Month
On June 21 in Reykjavík the sun goes down at 12:03am and comes back up at 2:55am. Those three hours are not night. The sun slides along a few degrees beneath the horizon, the northern sky holds a low copper band that never closes, and at 1am you can read the fine print on a…

ETIAS and Getting Married in Iceland in 2027
The question lands in our inbox in roughly this shape. We are marrying in Iceland in 2027, do we need this ETIAS thing, and does it change the wedding paperwork. The answer to the second half is no, and that is the most useful sentence on this page. ETIAS is a border authorisation. It belongs…

Iceland Lupine Season: The Three-Week Elopement Window
The lupine does not wait for anybody. In the last week of June the fields under Reynisfjall at Vík stand waist high and the purple runs right to the base of the mountain. Three weeks later the same ground has gone to seed, grey-green and finished, and no amount of good light brings the colour…

December Iceland Elopement: Five Hours of Light
On the first of December the sun clears the horizon over Reykjavik at 10:46 and is gone again by 15:49. Five hours and three minutes. Breakfast happens in the dark, the drive out happens in the dark, and the light you booked us for arrives late morning while the rest of the country is already…

Iceland Elopements: May or September Shoulder Season
On September 30 in Reykjavik the sun comes up at 07:33 and goes down at 19:01, and by 21:47 the sky is fully dark. One date gives you a sunrise you can reach without a 3am alarm, a low-sun hour that lands before dinner, and seven hours of darkness after it. Mid-May gives you 18…

Iceland Elopement Timeline, Hour by Hour
On 21 June the sun comes up over Reykjavík at 2:55am and does not go down again until 12:03am the following morning. That is twenty-one hours of daylight, followed by roughly three hours of twilight where the sun sits just under the horizon and never properly leaves. A timetable built for that day looks nothing…

Who Can Legally Marry You in Iceland
Iceland is one of the more straightforward countries in Europe for two Americans to marry in, and the reason is a single sheet of paper. A district commissioner examines your documents, issues a certificate confirming there is nothing standing in the way of the marriage, and from the date on that certificate you have 30…

Ice Cave Elopements in Iceland: Months and Costs
On the winter solstice at Breiðamerkurjökull, the outlet glacier that feeds Jökulsárlón, the sun clears the horizon a little before eleven in the morning and is gone again by around a quarter past three. At its highest point it sits roughly two and a half degrees above the ice. That is about the height of…
