The story
Two waterfront venues on a Helsinki island
Kulosaaren Casino stands ten minutes from the centre of Helsinki, in a waterfront setting on an island. The restaurant first opened in 1915 and still has a reputation for fine food and a distinctive atmosphere, and the venue describes itself as a Helsinki wedding address with a legendary reputation. Weddings are held in one of two separate settings. Merisali, the formal room, has crystal chandeliers and a neoclassical interior, with extensive grounds and large windows that look over the Helsinki archipelago. Sun Marine, the seasonal summer restaurant, offers a 180-degree panoramic view of the sea, and a terrace surrounds the pavilion with Suomenlinna Island beyond.
Between them the two venues host celebrations of 20 to 350 guests. Each has its own adjoining grounds, reserved for the exclusive use of that venue's guests. The wedding menu includes cutlery and crockery, glassware, white table linen and tealight holders set on a round mirror at each table, and small bowl vases are available for every table, with floral displays arranged separately. Starters are served buffet style, with fish, meat and vegetarian choices, and special diets are accommodated. Each year the team holds a tasting for couples who have booked, and Konditoria PH7 master bakers supply the wedding cake. All food and drink is provided by the casino, the venue is available until midnight, and a cloakroom service is offered in Merisali. Guests can also arrive by boat, with a limited number of moorings for private vessels.
