Guides to weddings, birthdays, confirmations, corporate parties and Nepali catering, written from the events we host ourselves in our hall on Amager.
We write about what guests actually ask us when they plan a celebration in Copenhagen: how many people fit, what a party venue costs, how to choose a menu, and how far ahead to book to get the date you want.
Everything here comes from events we host ourselves in the hall at Højdevej 59 on Amager, where we run weddings, receptions, confirmations, birthdays, anniversaries and corporate events for 30 to 120 guests, catered by our own Nepali kitchen.
What we write about
- Weddings and receptions, from guest list to seating plan
- Birthdays, confirmations and family gatherings
- Corporate parties, receptions and catered meetings
- Choosing a menu, vegetarian options and allergies
- Prices, budgets and what the hall fee covers
