For the moments that matter.

Weddings

Ceremony, reception, and celebration under one roof.

Milestone birthdays

40, 50, 60, 70 — the age matters less than the music and the menu.

A warm, protected space for family and friends.

A wedding at Kornhlaðan

Kornhlaðan is built for the kind of date one person carries for a lifetime. The room holds your ceremony, reception, and reception dinner — no moving guests between venues. The sound system carries a string quartet as cleanly as a live band. The lighting shifts from day to night. And the staff knows big occasions.

Flexibility

You bring the vision — the space is yours to shape. We provide the foundation and support you as needed, while decor, florals, officiants, and the overall expression are in your hands. If helpful, we can recommend trusted local partners.

Questions

Questions from couples and families

A few we hear often

Yes. Kornhlaðan is designed for it. The room transitions from ceremony to reception to seated dinner to dancing without your guests ever leaving the building. Lighting and sound are reset between phases by our staff. For a Reykjavík wedding — particularly in winter — keeping everyone under one roof is the single biggest reason the day flows.

Yes. Full-day buyouts are how most weddings here are booked — typically from late morning for setup through to the after-party. You and your suppliers have the room to yourselves, with no other event before or after. Send us a date and rough format and you'll receive a tailored proposal within 24 hours.

Yes. Our in-house kitchen handles canapés through three-course seated dinners, and we work with a short list of trusted Reykjavík florists, officiants, photographers, and musicians we can introduce you to. You're equally welcome to bring your own — many of our couples arrive with a planner and a vision already in place.
