In June 2024, Skeppsholmen became a place of love and unforgettable memories when Joanna and Axel from the popular YouTube channel The Swedish Family held a grand wedding dinner & party with us at Skeppsholmen. The wedding day was truly a perfect mix of love, style, music in a fantastic setting and we are happy to share this inspiring wedding with you – a day where every detail was carefully thought out.
We at Skeppsholmsgruppen handled the wedding coordination and hosted the pre-wedding drinks, dinner and party. To help us, we had a range of professional partners who all delivered on top to make this day perfect.
The wedding in Allhelgonakyrkan – Joy and love with a memorable exit
Joanna and Axel chose the beautiful Allhelgonakyrkan for their wedding, a place where the atmosphere of devotion exists. To enhance that feeling and give the ceremony a light-hearted feel, the fantastic artist John Lundvik provided the music, which really gave an emotional power and a really grand exit to the tunes of John’s Melodifestival winner Too late for love that made everyone dance with the bride and groom.
Photographers Erika Gerdemark captured every moment and gave the couple memories for life. Erika has a unique ability to capture the emotions in the most subtle moments and it is clearly visible in the pictures from this day.
Wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses – A dream in white created by Valerie Aflalo
For the bride Joanna and her bridesmaids, Valerie Aflalo dresses were the perfect style match. The bridal gown, which combined classic elegance with modern details, and the bridesmaids’ dresses, which exuded a sophisticated and timeless feel, were a hit. The groom’s clothes came from House of Steens.
From Hammarbykanalen to Skeppsholmen with the steamship Motala Express
To really give their guests an unforgettable experience of Stockholm’s inlet, Joanna and Axel chose to transport their guests from Hammarbykanalen to Skeppsholmen with the classic steamship Motala Express. This charming and historic boat is the perfect choice to transport guests to us at Skeppsholmen.
Traveling with the Motala Express is not only a transport from point A to B, but part of the experience itself is really to experience this beauty of a ship. The timeless and elegant interior is unique in the world and perfectly matched the romantic, classic and stylish theme of the wedding. The boat ride gave everyone a chance to exhale, relax, drink bubbly with canapés and enjoy each other’s company before the party began.
Dinner and party at Skeppsholmen – An elegant and grand event in a cultural-historical environment
The dinner and party were held in the magnificent Eric Ericson Hall, one of Stockholm’s most impressive and elegant venues, located on the waterfront with an unbeatable view of the Royal Palace, Gamla Stan and the sparkling water. The venue, which was once a church, is a perfect location for a wedding party and combines both intimacy and exclusivity. The large, airy hall was tastefully decorated and we at Skeppsholmsgruppen put our stamp on the whole experience with our project management and expertise around this venue that really invites you to create absolutely incredible dinners & parties.
The high windows with their fantastic light and the open view of the water and the Stockholm evening really give dinners a wonderful setting. The light from the sunset creates a romantic and dreamy feeling during dinner. We wanted to create an exclusive but at the same time warm and inviting feeling, where the goal was to make every guest feel part of a very special evening.
A gastronomic symphony by Lustholmen Catering
Lustholmen Catering was responsible for the food. The team, led by Chef Fransisco, are renowned for their ability to create culinary experiences of the highest order and this was evident at this wedding. Each dish was carefully selected to both satisfy the taste buds and fit into the classy and elegant style of the day.
From the appetizer to the dessert, every detail was thought out and perfected. Lustholmen Catering understands that it’s about more than just serving food – it’s about creating a holistic experience. The presentation of each dish was an art form in itself. The flavors were carefully balanced, drawing inspiration from both early summer produce and the international fine dining scene.
The wedding cake was much appreciated and very beautiful and was created by Bake to You.
Tableware and furniture – Perfection & style in every detail
To create the right feeling of both elegance and function, they chose Table.se for furniture and tableware. Every detail, from the tables to the porcelain, was tailored to fit the stylish and classic feel and here a Table.se is a very experienced and reliable supplier with a keen eye for detail.
Flowers and decorations – A scent of Swedish early summer with the help of flower professionals
For the bridal bouquet and decorations in both the church and at the party, the couple collaborated with Flowers by Saffo, who created a floral display in both beautiful tones. The flowers helped to create a romantic and natural feel that permeated the whole day.
Entertainment that raised the mood and the afternoon smoke that made the dome almost lift
The pre-drinks were served with an evocative musical setting from the Saskia Quartet, who created an elegant atmosphere with their interpretations of classic Swedish songs with jazzy arrangements. It was a perfect warm-up for the evening’s festivities!
During dinner, one of the guests surprised the bride and groom with music, none other than Mattias from EMD sat down at the grand piano and performed a Backstreet Boys song that got all the guests singing along.
After dinner, it was time for the big entertainment act of the evening and Isaac and the Soul Company took to the stage and kept the dance floor full all night with their swinging and catchy rhythms. Few can entertain like these gentlemen and they are a perfect choice for weddings & parties.
The party continued long into the night and there was a warm atmosphere that created a memorable evening where everyone, from the youngest to the oldest guests, had an unforgettable experience.
Hair, wedding night – Luxury and relaxing round off
Joanna chose Antonio Axu for her wedding set and the result was a sophisticated and timeless look that lasted all day and night.
After the wedding party it was time to relax at Hotel Reisenwhere the couple enjoyed their first night as husband and wife, in a luxurious and romantic setting. Reisen is a hotel that is a very good choice for just that – relaxation with a golden edge. The couple also chose the hotel to get ready for the big day.
Brunch at Moderna Museet – a perfect end to a fantastic wedding
The next day, loved ones and the couple met for a relaxing brunch at Moderna Museet signed by chef Malin Söderströmwhere they enjoyed good food and a fantastic view of Strandvägen. Gathering the day after is a nice ending and here at Skeppsholmen there are several choices for this.
Joanna and Axel created a wedding day together that was very successful with the help of a whole range of talented and passionate suppliers that we are proud to work with on an ongoing basis.
