A Hawaiian Wedding on Bornholm
Hannah and Martin at Finnens Top
Hannah and Martin: From Hawaii to the Beaches of Bornholm
What do you do when you live on the island of Hawaii and want to get married in a beautiful beach ceremony? You come to the island of Bornholm in Denmark, obviously! That’s exactly what German-born Hannah and her Australian fiancé Martin did. Together with almost 50 wedding guests, they arrived on “The Pearl of the Baltic Sea” to get married in a beautiful island wedding.
Despite coming from far away lands, they chose a wedding location close the heart of most Bornholmians. The beautiful nature reserve surrounding Finnens Top is popular among especially the locals who make a point of watching at least one sunset a year over the Baltic Sea from this elevation in the North of the island.
Here Hannah and Martin tell the story of their island wedding. They also divulge why they chose to travel so far for their wedding ceremony. If you should consider getting married in Denmark and on Bornholm, please do not hesitate to contact our wedding planners in Wedding on the Rock.
Walking Down Nature's Aisle on Bornholm




Together with our wedding planners in Wedding on the Rocks, they decided upon the beauty spot Finnens Top on the northwest coastal tip. The plateau does not only offer a beautiful view for the couple during the ceremony, but also plenty of space for the guests to spread out on.
“We were so happy to be able to go out ‘location scouting’ with our wedding planners to find the perfect spot for our ceremony. We really appreciated the flexibility and understanding on your end and are already looking forward to coming back to ‘our’ special spot sometime in the future,” Hannah and Martin said about their ceremony and their wedding location on Bornholm.
Spectacular Backdrops for the Wedding Photographs



“As biologists and outdoor people, we particularly enjoyed the diversity of landscapes and the beauty of the island. It’s the perfect mix of serenity, paired with a lot of options for activities. There is something to do and to enjoy for everyone,” the lovely couple continued to sing Bornholm’s praise.

The wedding location of Finnens Top is situated not only close to the sea and the beaches. It also offers a vast array of different landscapes and landmarks on Bornholm. Close by are the fairy-tale woods of Slotslyngen, the ruins of Hammershus Fortress and the stunning Opal Lake with its deep green waters and steep cliffs. This gave the happy couple and their wedding photographer ample opportunities for extraordinary wedding photographs of the island wedding.

Time to Party on Bornholm

After the wedding ceremony, and while the couple went on their wedding photo shoot, the guests had time to explore Bornholm. Most of them had never been to Bornholm. For many it even was the very first trip to Europe. Our wedding planners aided Hanna and Martin in finding accommodations for their large group of wedding guests. In addition to finding a bed for a night or two (or more), everybody needed to be fed.



hHanna and Martin chose traditional Danish restaurant with plenty of space both indoors and outdoors for their wedding reception. Their large party of wedding guests were offered a traditional Danish buffet with local produce and first class Danish cookery. Even the drinks were largely locally produced by Bornholm’s crafts beer breweries as well as wine- and juice makers.

“The entire celebration was just beautiful and we were able to enjoy it to the fullest thanks to Wedding on the Rocks. All the helpful advice we received from their wedding planners beforehand made it all go very smoothly. We did not have to worry about a thing on the big day and were able to fully focus on enjoying all those special moments with our loved ones. It is really impressive how well the Wedding on the Rocks team managed all aspects of our wedding, seeing how much planning went into the entire day, how many parties were involved, and how many details there were to take care of”, Hannah and Martin said of the arrangements of their big day.

After the food was served, it was time for the also in Denmark traditional wedding dance. The newly weds and their guests rented the entire location and the party could continue until deep into the night. “If we had to do it all over again, we would choose Wedding on the Rocks and Bornholm again in a heartbeat :)”, they said before they returned to their home on Hawaii.
