The Art of Event Excellence

Successful events require far more than beautiful venues—they demand meticulous planning, flawless execution, and the ability to anticipate and address every detail. Our events team brings decades of combined experience to every gathering, whether hosting 10 guests for an intimate dinner or 500 attendees for a major conference.

We understand that each event is unique, with specific objectives, audiences, and requirements.

Only then can we recommend venues, services, and arrangements perfectly aligned with your needs.

From initial concept through final execution, our team serves as your dedicated partner, handling logistics so you can focus on enjoying your event and engaging with your guests. This comprehensive support ensures seamless experiences that reflect well on you while creating lasting positive impressions.

Exceptional Event Venues

The Grand Ballroom

Our signature event space, the Grand Ballroom, embodies European elegance on a magnificent scale. This stunning venue spans 600 square meters with ceiling heights of 5 meters, creating a sense of grandeur while maintaining intimacy through expert design.

Crystal chandeliers provide ambient lighting that can be adjusted to suit any occasion, from bright and energizing for conferences to soft and romantic for weddings. The neutral color palette serves as a perfect canvas for any décor vision, while architectural details including ornate moldings and columns add timeless sophistication.

The Grand Ballroom accommodates up to 500 guests for receptions, 350 for banquets, and 400 for theater-style conferences. Divisible into three separate sections, it offers flexibility for events of various sizes while maintaining the feeling of an intimate, purpose-built space.

State-of-the-art audiovisual systems are seamlessly integrated throughout the ballroom, including multiple projection screens, professional sound reinforcement, and comprehensive lighting control. Our technical team ensures that presentations, performances, and entertainment achieve maximum impact.

The Crystal Room

For medium-sized events requiring refined elegance, the Crystal Room offers 200 square meters of beautifully appointed space. Named for the stunning crystal installations that serve as its focal point, this venue provides a sophisticated setting for corporate dinners, milestone celebrations, and upscale social gatherings.

Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light during daytime events while offering beautiful views of our landscaped grounds. In the evening, the room transforms through intelligent lighting design that highlights architectural features and creates the perfect ambiance for any occasion.

The Crystal Room comfortably accommodates 120 guests for seated dinners or 150 for cocktail receptions. Its built-in bar and adjacent prep kitchen facilitate seamless food and beverage service, ensuring guests are always attended to without disruptive traffic through the event space.

Boardrooms and Meeting Spaces

Corporate clients appreciate our selection of boardrooms and meeting spaces designed specifically for productive business gatherings. These venues range from intimate rooms perfect for executive meetings of 6-10 participants to larger conference rooms accommodating up to 50 attendees.

Each space features ergonomic seating, sophisticated décor that projects professionalism, and comprehensive technology including video conferencing capabilities, wireless presentation systems, and high-speed internet connectivity. Natural light, climate control, and acoustic treatments ensure comfort during extended sessions.

Our business center provides additional support including printing, copying, and administrative services. For multi-day conferences, we can designate specific areas as registration zones, breakout spaces, or exhibition areas, creating a comprehensive conference environment.

Outdoor Venues

During Finland's beautiful summer months, our outdoor venues offer unique settings that connect events with nature. The Terrace Garden accommodates up to 200 guests for cocktail receptions or 100 for seated dinners, with views across manicured gardens toward the forest beyond.

For more intimate gatherings, the Birch Grove provides a naturally beautiful setting surrounded by the trees that give our property its name. This space is particularly popular for wedding ceremonies, offering a romantic outdoor setting with convenient proximity to indoor venues for receptions.

All outdoor venues include contingency planning for weather concerns, with elegant tent options or the ability to move events indoors should conditions require, ensuring your event proceeds smoothly regardless of forecast.

Comprehensive Event Services

Event Planning and Coordination

Our dedicated event planning team guides you through every phase of the planning process. Initial consultations explore your vision, objectives, and budget, allowing us to develop comprehensive proposals that outline recommended venues, services, and arrangements.

As planning progresses, your designated event coordinator serves as your single point of contact, managing communications with all service providers, tracking timelines, and ensuring every detail receives appropriate attention. This coordination extends to creating detailed event timelines, managing vendor access, and conducting final walk-throughs.

On event day, our team arrives early to oversee setup, conduct quality checks, and address any last-minute adjustments. Throughout your event, coordinators remain present but discreet, monitoring everything to ensure seamless execution while remaining ready to address any unexpected situations immediately.

Culinary Excellence for Events

Exceptional food and beverage service can elevate any event from ordinary to extraordinary. Our culinary team works closely with event hosts to design menus that complement the occasion while reflecting personal preferences and dietary requirements.

For corporate events, we offer everything from continental breakfast buffets and working lunch options to elaborate multi-course dinners. Coffee break services can be customized to provide energy and variety throughout day-long conferences, with options ranging from simple refreshments to elaborate displays featuring artisanal pastries and specialty beverages.

Wedding menus receive particular attention, with couples invited to participate in tasting sessions where they sample potential dishes and work with our chefs to refine selections. We accommodate all dietary restrictions seamlessly, ensuring every guest enjoys an exceptional meal regardless of their requirements.

Our beverage program includes everything from hosted bars with premium spirits to carefully curated wine pairings that complement each course. For special occasions, our mixologists can develop signature cocktails that add personalized touches to your event.

Technical Production

Modern events often require sophisticated technical support. Our in-house audiovisual team provides comprehensive production services including sound reinforcement, projection and display systems, theatrical lighting, and video production.

For presentations and conferences, we ensure that speakers' messages are delivered with clarity and impact through professional microphone systems, high-resolution projection, and expertly managed transitions between segments. Live streaming and recording services allow you to extend your event's reach beyond physical attendees.

Entertainment events benefit from professional lighting design that creates atmosphere and focuses attention, while our sound engineers ensure that whether hosting a string quartet or a full band, audio quality meets professional standards.

Décor and Design

While our venues are beautiful in their natural state, custom décor allows you to create truly personalized environments. We work with trusted partner companies specializing in event design, floristry, and specialty rentals to source everything needed to bring your vision to life.

For weddings, this might include dramatic floral installations, specialty linens, custom lighting, and unique furniture pieces that create the exact aesthetic you envision. Corporate events might feature branded elements, creative stage designs, or innovative displays that communicate company messages while maintaining sophisticated aesthetics.

Our team coordinates all décor installation and removal, working within established timelines to ensure spaces are ready when needed and efficiently returned to normal condition following your event.

Accommodation for Event Guests

Hosting events at a luxury hotel offers the significant advantage of on-site accommodation for guests. We provide preferential room rates for event attendees, making it convenient for out-of-town guests while ensuring they experience our full hospitality.

For wedding parties, we can block multiple rooms or entire floors, creating a private environment for close family and friends. Suites provide perfect spaces for preparation, with ample room for hair and makeup services, photography, and pre-event gathering.

Corporate events benefit from the convenience of attendees residing where they're meeting, eliminating transportation logistics and creating additional networking opportunities in our public spaces and restaurants.

Specialized Event Types

Weddings

Weddings represent our most personal events, and we approach each celebration with appropriate reverence and attention. Our wedding services include dedicated planners who understand the emotional significance of these occasions and work tirelessly to ensure every detail reflects your vision.

From intimate ceremonies for close family to lavish celebrations for hundreds of guests, we've hosted weddings of every size and style. Our experience includes diverse cultural traditions, allowing us to accommodate specific customs and requirements while introducing couples to possibilities they might not have considered.

Ceremony options include both our elegant indoor venues and beautiful outdoor settings. Reception spaces can be configured countless ways, from traditional seated dinners to contemporary lounge-style arrangements that encourage mingling and celebration.

Corporate Conferences and Meetings

Business events demand precision, professionalism, and flawless execution. Our corporate event services reflect deep understanding of business needs, delivering environments that facilitate productivity, communication, and networking.

Multi-day conferences benefit from our comprehensive approach that can include accommodation, multiple meal services, breakout sessions, evening entertainment, and team-building activities. Our concierge can arrange off-site excursions that showcase Finnish culture and natural beauty, adding memorable experiences to business programs.

For companies hosting client events, board meetings, or shareholder gatherings, our services ensure that every interaction reflects positively on your organization, demonstrating attention to detail and commitment to quality that strengthens business relationships.

Social Celebrations

Milestone birthdays, anniversaries, holiday parties, and other social gatherings deserve venues and service that match their significance. Our team helps hosts create celebrations that feel both special and personal, incorporating individual touches that make guests feel truly welcomed.

Themed events receive enthusiastic support from our creative team, who can source specialty décor, recommend entertainment, and design menus that reinforce chosen themes. From elegant cocktail parties to lively dance celebrations, we adapt our services to suit the desired atmosphere.

Product Launches and Corporate Entertainment

For companies introducing new products, hosting VIP clients, or celebrating corporate milestones, we create events that generate excitement while maintaining sophisticated professionalism. Our venues provide impressive backdrops for product displays, presentations, and entertainment.

These events often require creative approaches that go beyond traditional hospitality. Our team collaborates with your marketing and event professionals to incorporate brand elements, facilitate media coverage, and create Instagram-worthy moments that extend your event's impact through social sharing.

Sustainability in Events

Modern event hosting must consider environmental impact. We've implemented numerous sustainable practices including waste reduction and recycling programs, partnerships with local suppliers to minimize transportation, and donation of surplus food to local charities.

For clients prioritizing sustainability, we offer guidance on creating eco-friendly events through choices like seasonal menus featuring local ingredients, digital materials rather than printed collateral, and décor utilizing natural elements that can be composted or repurposed rather than discarded.
