Norway: Where Love Has No Limits
Imagine standing on the edge of a fjord, the crisp Norwegian air filling your lungs, as you say “Ja!” to the love of your life. Whether you’re planning a same-sex wedding, need a fully accessible venue, or want a multicultural celebration that blends traditions seamlessly, Norway is ready to welcome you with open arms (and maybe a Viking toast for good measure).
From LGBTQ+-friendly wedding venues to wheelchair-accessible spaces and diverse wedding planners, this guide will help you plan an inclusive wedding that reflects your love—without limits.
1. LGBTQ+ Friendly Wedding Venues in Norway
Norway is one of the most progressive countries in the world when it comes to LGBTQ+ rights. But let’s be real—just because same-sex marriage is legal doesn’t mean every wedding venue rolls out the rainbow carpet. These places, however, definitely do.
Best LGBTQ+ Friendly Wedding Venues
🌈 The Thief Hotel, Oslo – A stylish, ultra-modern hotel that actually makes you feel like a VIP (not just another booking). With stunning fjord views and a progressive attitude, it’s perfect for intimate LGBTQ+ weddings.
🌈 Union Øye, Sunnmøre – Imagine a fairytale castle surrounded by dramatic mountains. Now imagine it actually welcoming all love stories, including yours.
🌈 Lysebu, Oslo – If you want cozy Nordic elegance with an inclusive vibe, Lysebu offers the perfect mix of romance and privacy.
💡 Pro Tip: Always ask venues about their policies and experience with LGBTQ+ weddings. Most places in Norway are welcoming, but it’s always good to confirm the details before signing anything!
