A wedding at a royal palace

Get married in a royal palace

Bröllopsguiden IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ROYAL PALACES

At four of Sweden’s royal palaces, you can book a wedding ceremony in historic church halls and chapels, designed by the leading architects of their time. Beautifully situated around Lake Mälaren, the palaces provide a unique setting for your wedding. Photo: Dick Norberg At Drottningholm, Rosersberg, Strömsholm and Ulriksdal Palaces, there are palace churches and chapels open for weddings. Each of the palaces has its own character, ranging from Drottningholm’s dome-crowned Baroque style, through Strömsholm’s light-filled, romantic church interiors and the classically elegant design at Rosersberg, to Fredrik Wilhelm Scholander’s intimate Neo-Renaissance style at Ulriksdal. Incidentally, in the palace churches at Strömsholm and Drottningholm, you can have the wedding march played on two of Sweden’s best-preserved 18th-century organs.
The palace gardens offer beautiful views, and in the immediate vicinity of the palaces there is the opportunity to arrange post-ceremony dinners and receptions in a culturally and historically rich setting. If you’d like to organise a guided tour of the palace for your guests, this can of course be booked.

Drottningholm Palace

With its beautiful waterside location and well-preserved interiors, Drottningholm Palace is an integral part of our cultural heritage. Several members of the royal family have chosen Drottningholm as the venue for their weddings and christenings.
With its beautiful dome, harmonious proportions and intimate yet grand character, Drottningholm Palace Church is a truly splendid venue for a wedding. The fact that there is a bridal tiara made of silver and rock crystal available to borrow, and that there is an 18th-century organ, crafted by Johan Niclas Cahman, on which to play the wedding music, certainly doesn’t make it any less special!

Rosersberg Palace

For generations, Rosersberg Palace, with its picturesque park and beautiful setting on the shores of Lake Mälaren, has been a popular venue for celebrations and leisure.
The garden wing, which houses the palace chapel, was originally intended as an art gallery. Light floods in, and with its richly stuccoed ceiling and elegant colour scheme of white, violet, pink, grey and blue, it is a delightful room to be in. If you stand here as a bride or groom at the altar, the North Star and the sun shine down on you through the skylight.

Strömsholm Castle

Beautifully situated near Lake Mälaren, surrounded by the flowing waters of the Kolbäcksån, Strömsholm Castle rises majestically on its islet, amidst scenic gardens, meadows, avenues, copses and pastures.
At the very top of the castle you’ll find the castle chapel. As you step inside, you are welcomed by the light, airy space of the chapel, the elegantly vaulted dome, the tastefully understated sculpted decorations and the abundant natural light streaming through the large windows. One of the unique features of the interior is Daniel Stråhle’s organ from 1743, which has survived in its original condition to this day. Just imagine having the wedding march played on it!

Ulriksdal Palace

On the shores of Edsviken in Solna, set within a vast palace park full of surprises, lies the pleasure palace of Ulriksdal. On a headland south of the palace stands one of Sweden’s most beautiful wedding chapels, consecrated on Queen Lovisa’s name day in 1865.
As you step inside the chapel, you are greeted by an exquisite interior in the romantic spirit of the age, with a wealth of carved and painted details and furnishings from various places and different eras. The atmosphere in the chapel is further enhanced by the light, which filters beautifully through the windows, adorned with stained-glass windows from King Karl XV’s own collections, the oldest of which date back to the Middle Ages. The chapel is designed in the Dutch Neo-Renaissance style, with inspiration drawn from Venice.
If you get married in Ulriksdal Palace Chapel, you can borrow a bridal tiara made of gilded silver, crafted by silversmith Jan-Ante Dahlstedt. Read more and book Ulriksdal Palace Chapel
