At Lillegård, good planning and a happy bride and groom are the key to a successful wedding reception

A rustic gem in Skåne makes for an unbeatable wedding reception

Here you’ll find a blossoming wedding venue, a gigantic barn with a nine-metre-high ceiling, plenty of fairy lights and a wedding suite. What’s more, it’s run by the married couple Alexandra and Roberth Hagemann-Falk, who have a genuine passion for parties and weddings.

“When we got married, I realised I loved everything to do with weddings and decided to run a wedding venue. Lillegård was up for sale at the time, and the bidding started on our wedding day. So at some point during the welcome drinks, I started bidding,’ says Alexandra. That’s how it all began.

What do you think is the most important thing to consider when choosing a venue?

– That your point of contact feels genuine and is on hand when you need answers to your questions. It’s also important to know what’s included so that you get a clear picture of the costs.

What makes a successful party?

– The bride and groom, and good planning! It’s undoubtedly the hosts – in this case, the bride and groom – who set the mood at a party and keep the energy levels high. On the wedding day, you might feel a bit nervous, so you can ask your bridesmaids, groomsmen and other close friends to help keep the guests engaged.

– It’s also important that the planning is clear and that everyone knows what they’re supposed to do and be responsible for. Stress and anxiety caused by poor planning really do dampen the bride and groom’s spirits – and, in the long run, the whole party.

Lillegård offers an extra bonus:

– We don’t have a closing time, so you can party all night long if you want!
