Agenda for the day
Wedding
13:00 - 13:15
Oslo City Hall
Please arrive no later than 12:45.
Arrive well in advance, and remember that you must go through security checks when entering Oslo City Hall. The wedding room (Munchrommet) at Oslo City Hall has limited capacity. This means that parts of the bridal party will have to wait outside the city hall. After the ceremony, there will be a photo shoot outside the city hall.
Anyone who has the opportunity is most welcome to welcome the bride and groom when they come out after the ceremony (approximately 13:15). Please spread the word!
Balloons, soap bubbles, alcohol, or throwing rice, rose petals, or confetti are not permitted, both inside and outside the City Hall.
Dinner
15:30 - 19:30
Gressholmen Kro
There are several ferries from Aker Brygge to Gressholmen.
The ferry ride takes approx. 17 minutes. Tickets for the ferry are purchased via the Ruter app. A regular bus ticket for zone 1 will be valid on the ferry.
There is a path from the pier to Gressholmen Kro (approx. 5 min walk), where it may be difficult to walk in high heels.
We will gather at the outdoor terrace of Gressholmen Kro from 15:30.
Dinner will be served inside at Gressholmen Kro from 17:00.
Menu will be available soon.
Wedding party
20:30 - 03:30
Smelteverket

We will end the day with a party at Smelteverket at Vulkan.
There will be a cake, music, and dancing!

The celebration starts at 8:30 PM.​
The bar closes at 3:00 AM, and the venue closes at 3:30 AM.
Drinks are purchased at your own expense at the bar.
​
From Gressholmen, we will go directly to the party venue. The ferry from Gressholmen to Aker Brygge runs every half hour. From Aker Brygge to Smelteverket, you can take a taxi (10 minutes). You can also take tram 12 (towards Kjelsås) from Aker Brygge to Olaf Ryes plass (15 minutes), and walk from there (5 minutes) to Smelteverket. The venue is located in the basement of Mathallen Oslo (Vulkan 5, 0182 Oslo).
​
Extended family and friends are invited to the party. You are welcome to bring a guest or family members who did not attend the dinner. Please let us know if you would like to bring someone. Also, let us know if you would like to contribute a cake, give a speech, perform a musical number, or do something else fun—we would really appreciate it!
