Vanajanlinna often brings to mind the stunning weddings of famous couples. However, this historic and majestic castle, set in a breathtaking natural location, is also a perfect venue for many other types of celebrations.
“In addition to weddings, Vanajanlinna hosts many birthday parties, christenings, graduation celebrations, bachelor parties, and even memorial services,” says Mika Walkamo from Vanajanlinna.
The castle is an excellent venue for both small, intimate gatherings with family or friends, as well as grand events. Vanajanlinna’s traditional Independence Day Eve celebration hosts about a thousand guests each year.
Vanajanlinna is also a great choice for holding high-quality, goal-oriented meetings or seminars.
The surroundings of Vanajanlinna are beautiful and peaceful. Moreover, it is located almost in the heart of Southern Finland, within easy reach of Helsinki, Turku, and Tampere. It’s convenient for guests to attend events or meetings.
“A large portion of Finland’s population lives within a 1.5-hour drive from Vanajanlinna,” Walkamo explains.
He also notes that event organizers appreciate the fact that Vanajanlinna is far enough away that guests have a good excuse to stay overnight. The celebration becomes a nice break from everyday life for everyone.
Accommodating even large groups is not a problem, as Vanajanlinna has 100 hotel rooms.
Walkamo emphasizes that Vanajanlinna is proud of its strong reputation. This means that the food and services at every event or meeting must also meet high standards.
“Food is important here; we have a highly regarded, top-class kitchen,” Walkamo adds.
Vanajanlinna aims to compete with the most prestigious event and meeting venues in the Helsinki area.
“Our catering services must be on par with the best. We can’t rely solely on our idyllic setting to excuse any shortcomings.”
Vanajanlinna’s Linna Golf has been repeatedly ranked as the best golf course in Finland, and maintaining its reputation is a matter of pride. Ensuring high quality is a top priority.
Although Vanajanlinna is in Finland, it feels as though you’re on a luxurious getaway in Central Europe. The one-of-a-kind castle and its surroundings provide a stunning backdrop for unforgettable celebrations.
