Búðir Black Church Wedding

March 13, 2020
April 11, 2025

J&J had their Iceland Wedding ceremony in the charming Búðir Black Church on Snæfellsnes peninsula. Budir church sits in the Budir lava field and standing in the doorway of the church looking out you can see the Snæfellsjökull glacier on a clear day.

J&J traveled to Iceland with their close friends and family for a destination wedding and spent two nights on the Snæfellsnes peninsula surrounding their wedding day.

The couple chose a magnificent location for their base right outside Grundarfjörður with a beautiful view of Kirkjufell mountain, imagine waking up to that? Plus there were horses roaming in the fields around their cottages.

You can't have Iceland Wedding preparations without some bubbles can you? The girls teamed up and went to a local hair & makeup saloon and then returned to the cottages where the rest of the group was getting ready. We're so in love with this location.

Father daughter first look on the patio before departing for Budir Black church. The drive from Grundarfjörður to Búðir goes over a mountian pass, the views over the lava field and witnessing sheep herding made the ride extra special.

While the couple went on a wedding photoshoot with Styrmir & Heiðdís their guests traveled with Pink Iceland's Ziggy around the peninsula for some amazing sights. We love to incorporate these kinds of tours into the wedding day, the wedding couple get their privacy with their Iceland wedding photographer and the guests get to enjoy an adventure together in the Icelandic nature.

J&J started their wedding photoshoot right outside Budir church, the church itself is so photogenic and the Snæfellsnes peninsula mountain range creates a dramatic backdrop

If you have the option of going on top of a mountain on your wedding day, you should take it!

The wedding reception was held at Bjargarsteinn restaurant in Grundarfjörður. Warm welcomes by the wonderful staff and the food absolutely gorgeous. The restaurant is so cozy and really makes you feel at home, it's got that vibe to it.

Oh hey Sara <3 Adventure wedding planning queen! Congratulations on this wonderful review from a happy couple ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "If you want to get married in Iceland choose Pink Iceland to plan your wedding! We worked with the wonderful Sara and could not be happier with our day! She planned our welcome dinner, full wedding day with 25 guests and our Sky Lagoon trip the day after. We didn't meet Sara until the morning of our wedding but after a few minutes it felt like we had known her for years. We had a bad weather forecast for our day and were in contact with Sara for most of the day prior to make "Plan B" arrangements. She understood how important it was for us to get married at our chosen location and was helpful in problem solving and offering her advice. On the day, the rain held out until after our ceremony but our photo tour was quite wet. Sara was always right there waiting with a big puffy warm jacket and towel for me to warm up and dry off. She was always checking in to make sure we were warm enough and offering kind words of encouragement throughout the day. She never complained even though she was probably pretty wet and cold as well. We had never been to either restaurant that we chose for our welcome dinner and reception but took Sara's recommendations and they were fabulous! She also recommended our amazing photographer (Kristin Maria) and videographer (Arnar Tomasson) who were simply wonderful. Our advice to couples would be to be patient and trust the process. It is not easy to trust a complete stranger to plan such a big day and being in another country not able to be hands on with the planning was even harder. Sara had thought of every detail and we had the most amazing day because of it. In addition, our guests had a once in a lifetime experience. Thank you Sara and the entire Pink Iceland team!"
it's that time again! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 Join us for Reykjavík Pride 2025, we have some extra colorful tours happening this year and we'd love to see you! Links to book are on our bio and on our website 💕 #reykjavikpride #icelandpride #lgbtq #pinkiceland #gaytours #gayiceland @reykjavikpride
