Hjorleifshofdi Cave Wedding

September 27, 2023
May 10, 2025

Hjörleifshöfði cave on one of the beautiful Black Beaches of South Iceland has been the locations of many gorgeous and unique Pink Iceland Weddings & Wedding photos. And we're excited to share the stories and photos with you. Maybe someday your wedding from this wonderful natural cave in Iceland will end up on our blog?

Hjorleifshofdi is very well located. Have you ever heard of the town of Vík? Legendary Black Beach Reynisfjara? Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss waterfalls? When creating a wedding day itinerary around Hjorleifshofdi cave Pink Iceland makes sure to include those famous and impressive Iceland beauties. We would always suggest some of our favourite accommodations in the South for you and your Iceland wedding guests to spend the night so you are waking up in the area of your wedding location. After getting ready you don't have to drive too far and you have more time in your day for adventures. If you are looking for something more off the beaten track on your wedding day how about we hire you a super jeep? Cross some rivers, drive through the black sands and head inland?  In our work as Iceland Wedding planners our motto is to only work with nice people, listen to our couples and do our absolute best to make their visions come true.

- Although - none of us are the boss, that's mother nature but she seems to be on our side.

This epic saga planned by Pink Iceland's Sigga had the couple walking down a candle lit aisle with romantic lighting above and even though it was raining outside they could stay nice and dry inside the cave. The Pink Iceland team began setup at the crack of dawn preparing the Arch of love, lighting with our technician, set up the food and drinks and welcomed the musicians that were sound checking for the first time in this cave.

Norse Mythology elopement

Pagan weddings in Iceland are available to everyone whether or not you are a local or just visiting for your Iceland Wedding adventure. The Iceland Pagan religion was first introduced to Iceland with the settlers and has lived on through the years and even though those who are a part of the pagan association don't necessarily believe in the Norse gods it's about upholding this upholding this important tradition. M&C kept it simple, intimate and romantic as it was just them, their Wedding planner from Pink Iceland, photographer Julie Rowland and Haukur, their Nordic Chieftain. Whether there are a lot of decorations or just the cave as it is it's a perfect place for a wedding ceremony.

The lighting in this photo is everything and it's very clear why it's called the Yoda cave, the silhouette.

Sunrise & doughnuts

B&A had very early start to their wedding day. Their Hjorleifshofdi cave wedding ceremony was in the early AM and as guests arrived to the cave they were served coffee & doughnuts! How amazing? After the ceremony they had their first dance on the Black sand outside Hjorleifshofdi to music played on the violin. Photos by Julie Rowland.

Well hello Valdi - Pink Iceland Wedding planner extraordinaire - congrats on the amazing review! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Planning a wedding from North Carolina to Iceland was no small feat—especially without seeing anything in person. But from the moment we began working with Valdi at Pink Iceland, we felt a sense of calm, trust, and joy that carried us all the way to the big day. Valdi was incredibly professional and thoughtful, going out of his way to overcommunicate every detail so that we always felt informed and reassured, no matter how far away we were. My friends and family were skeptical—after all, how could you possibly plan a wedding halfway across the world without ever stepping foot in the country? But I had complete faith in Valdi, and I’m so glad I did. He and the entire Pink Iceland team made us feel genuinely seen, celebrated, and supported. Their love for love is palpable, and it was clear from the beginning that this wasn’t just another wedding to them—it was our wedding. '...' Valdi brought a sense of peace to what is often an overwhelming and emotional process. He put our needs above everything else, giving us space to be present, soak in the moment, and truly honor the meaning behind our day. It felt like we were surrounded by old friends, not just planners. It was, without question, our home away from home. Every vendor Valdi recommended overperformed beyond our wildest expectations. The quality, care, and professionalism of everyone involved left us completely blown away. We have to give a special shoutout to his photographer recommendation, Sunday and White—his work is nothing short of breathtaking. He captured our day in a way we didn’t even know was possible. Our photos are so beautiful, they honestly look like they belong in a magazine—and we will cherish them for the rest of our lives. We would recommend and trust Pink Iceland with all of our being. Valdi helped us create something so much more than a wedding—he helped us create a memory that feels like magic. I can say with full certainty that there isn’t a single thing I would change. Valdi and Pink Iceland dreamed bigger than I ever could have imagined. #pinkiceland #icelandwedding

Well hello Glóey - Pink Iceland Wedding planner extraordinaire - congrats on the amazing review! Dream Wedding Thanks to Glóey and Pink Iceland! Planning a wedding in Iceland from afar, especially with only five months, felt daunting at first. But from our very first conversation, Glóey assured us it was not only possible but that it would be wonderful. And they were absolutely right! My partner and I had no idea where to even begin, but Glóey made everything so incredibly easy. They listened to our vague ideas and magically transformed them into an absolute dream wedding. As someone who tends to be a bit Type A, I initially found it hard to let go of control when coordinating a wedding remotely. However, it was such a relief and joy to do so for our wedding, and Glóey made that possible. Their responsiveness, meticulous attention to detail, and ability to perfectly nail our vision quickly put all my worries at ease. They didn't just help us craft our vision and provide expert suggestions; they executed every idea flawlessly, surpassing any and all expectations we had for the day. Our ceremony site (Írárfoss) and our reception were STUNNING – and we really just provided our general vibe/preferences/and some inspo images to Glóey and they put that vision together. They did a fantastic job with all the details, while they also fostered an atmosphere that reminded us the day was about being in the moment. Beyond their excellent work, Glóey is simply a joy to be around. We had so much fun driving around Iceland taking photos with our fantastic photographer (Sunday & White, Laimonas) and Glóey before the ceremony. We genuinely wished we could have spent even more time together! I was initially unsure about taking photos before the ceremony, as we adjusted the schedule during planning, but Glóey suggested it, and I'm so incredibly glad we took their advice. That time before the ceremony was actually perfect for taking photos, laughing, and loosening up a bit. We cannot recommend Glóey and the entire Pink Iceland team highly enough. Thanks to them, we had an absolute dream wedding! 📸 @julietterowlandweddings & @sundayandwhitestudio
