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.

H&L nailed the entertainment for their wedding reception. They had the beautiful thought of introducing the magic of drag to many of their guests who hadn't experienced it before. Drag plays an important and historic role in the queer community and it's safe to say that by the end of the night all the guests who hadn't been familiar with the world of drag fell in love. What a gift to give your guests 😍 Photos by the talented @kristinmarias Performance by the gorgeous @gogo.starr #pinkiceland #icelandwedding #icelandweddingplanner #icelandelopement #iceland #lgbtqwedding #dragqueen #lgbtqia #wlw
Of course the Pink Iceland office needed a golden disco ball! Thank you for all the well wishes on the renovations. It’s coming along great and we’ve already started working in our new space! It feels good and we are inspired and excited for the season ahead! #icelandwedding #icelandweddingplanner #icelandelopement #iceland
⭐We wish we could give Pink Iceland more than 5 stars!⭐ Pink Iceland is not only a wedding planner, but travel planner as well! Let's hear what R&M had to say about their Iceland Adventure: "We just returned from a thirteen-day trip to Iceland in March 2025, including a seven-day private car tour, which the GREAT FOLKS at Pink Iceland planned and organized for us. We would like to thank Haukur Hallsson, our Pink Iceland travel planner, who worked so diligently with us for eight months to create the perfect Iceland adventure for us – he made great suggestions as to what we should do and where we should go while visiting Iceland. He was very responsive to our questions, always responded promptly, handled all the hotel reservations, purchased all the museum and event tickets, and arranged all private car pick-ups which we greatly appreciated. Many, many thanks to you, Haukur, for all your hard work and planning our behalfWe would also like to thank, Hafsteinn “Haffi” Thorolfsson, our knowledgeable and talented road trip guide, for our amazing trip around Iceland from Reykjavik to Akureyri. Haffi shared his vast knowledge of Icelandic history, music, culture, folklore, and geology with us over the course of our seven-day road trip, which made the trip so much more enjoyable and memorable to us. He also has a lovely singing voice and sang a number of Icelandic songs for us while driving, and even sang the Icelandic national anthem for us in a cave at one of the sites we visited. Finally, we would like to recognized and thank Hannes “Sasi” Palsson, one of the co-owners of Pink Iceland, who took us on our city tour in Reykjavik – it was an honor for us to have one of the co-owners of Pink Iceland escort us on our tour. Thank you, Sasi, for the great afternoon we shared with you learning about the early settlement and history of your beautiful Reykjavik and for the visit to your club where we learned about the LGBTQ+ history of Iceland. All in all, this was the best trip we’ve taken in our 47 years of marriage. Thank you, Pink Iceland, Haukur, Haffi, and Sasi, for truly making this “Robert and Michael’s Amazing Iceland Adventure.” Pink Iceland is the BEST!"
