OUR WEDDING STORY

Jean & David on the Hammeren Plateau


Read Jean and David's Wedding Story

Jean from the Philippines and David from the Czech Republic wanted to get married in Denmark. Their choice of wedding location fell on Bornholm and the Hammeren Plateau (Hammerknuden) in the North of the island. Close by are the not only the impressive cliffs of the Baltic Sea, but also the ruins of the Hammershus Fortress and the deep green waters of the Opal Lake. Find out how Jean and David walked down nature’s aisle, aided by the wedding planners in Wedding on the Rocks.

Like many of ‘our’ couples, Jean and David to begin with wanted to get married in Denmark. There were, however, undecided over where in the country their wedding ceremony should be performed. 

“We were choosing a location in Denmark and came across your agency in Bornholm”, Jean and David said. “We liked your option of a custom location and decided upon Bornholm.”
 

 In cooperation with our wedding planners, they decided that the Hammeren Plateau with its many different natural features and changing landscape was perfect for their Danish wedding location. 

“The location for our ceremony met our expectations, despite the adjustment we had to make due to strong wind”.
Jean and David chose a wedding ceremony in the English language. Our wedding planners in Wedding on the Rocks prepared all the necessary paperwork for this truly international couple beforehand. We also supplied the required witnesses to the ceremony as Jean and David chose to elope without guests.

The Wedding Location

 Jean and David’s chosen wedding location on the Hammeren Plateau did not only give them a formidable view over the island during their ceremony. It also is situated to several landmarks on Bornholm. The Lighthouse of Hammeren (Hammeren Fyr), the stunning Opal Lake and the Almindingen Forest are all close by. The cliffs of the Hammeren drop 86 feet (26 meters) into the sea and give the most exciting opportunities for wedding pictures. Also the tower of Hammeren Lighthouse adds a romantic yet unexpected backdrop to the wedding photos while the weather-beaten trees and shrubs of the forest give a dramatic flair.

“Exchanging vows and the photoshoot after the ceremony in the nearby natural locations stand out especially memorable from our wedding day”, Jean and David said after the wedding ceremony. “We were also very happy with the flowers from H(e)aven Bornholm and the local gooseberry wine”.
