Ági & Gergő, July 2026
The wedding itself was in a church in Copenhagen. Ági and Gergő were married there on Saturday 25 July 2026, then drove south to Agerup for dinner and the party, to an estate their family had spent Friday preparing.
Ági had made up her mind early. "I knew I would like this place to be my wedding venue as soon as I saw the pictures on the website."
"It was very important for us that we could sleep at the venue together with our family, so it was both accommodation and a party place in one." They also wanted to do all the decorations and food themselves, and Agerup let them do both.
Copenhagen and back, twice in one day
Their biggest concern was that Agerup is a little far from Copenhagen. With the church in the city, they drove the distance twice that day: to the church in the morning, and back to the estate in the afternoon. "In practice, it took a lot of hours of organising, but everything turned out perfectly."
"Having the place for the whole weekend was essential for us because we needed to prepare everything on Friday, and then we needed Sunday to pack away all of the decorations and uninstall everything."
How they did it
They had fewer than 40 guests, and were 42 people in all, counting themselves and the staff. They did the grocery shopping the day before, the family prepared most of the food on Friday, and someone helped with the barbecue on the day. "Freedom did matter to us because we wanted to control every detail of the wedding, choose our suppliers, and DIY most of the decorations."
The flowers came from Bregnholt Blomster, a florist close to the estate. They went there two weeks before to choose, and the fresh, local, in-season wildflowers were picked on the Friday, just for them. The wedding cakes came from Kornelia Lesiak, a pastry chef in Copenhagen, and the mini strawberry cakes from a Føtex bakery. Glasses, cutlery and everything else needed for dinner were rented.
They are open about what doing it all yourselves takes. "It was a lot more work than we thought, and we needed plenty of time. It definitely put a lot of stress on both of us, and this is why I recommend that everybody have an on-the-day coordinator, at least."
One more thing they would have liked to know earlier: there are plenty of tables at Agerup, serving tables included, so ask before you rent any.
What the guests said
"They were all amazed by how beautiful the house is, the grounds and the forest, and they absolutely adored the decoration we created in the barn."
