OUR MISSION
Pink Iceland strives to be the country’s foremost travel agent, tour operator, event and wedding planner for LGBTQI travelers. Our goal is to always offer an exemplary service, treating our guests with the utmost respect while offering a good quality product.
Pink Iceland has clear policies regarding its responsibilities to environmental and humanitarian issues. These are reflected in the services on offer and the general attitude of the company’s owners and staff.
Pink Iceland is, and will remain a beautiful, vibrant, fun and caring place of work where both owners and staff ambitiously work towards offering outstanding services to its guests
HONESTY POLICY
Pink Iceland is a privately owned company and as such it needs to make a profit. This profit pays the salaries of its staff, the rent, the wonderful and informative Pink Iceland website not to mention copious amounts of coffee for the owners. Most of Pink Iceland's money is made through commissions. This is how it works: If our guests let us book their tours, activities, and accommodation we collect a small (usually 10-15%) commission of the price. This basically means that you pay the same price, regardless of whether you book directly - or through us. You may think this might cause us to recommend really expensive accommodation and tours. Not so. We promise to do our utmost to come up with a plan that suits you, and your budget. We would never recommend anything without full confidence and/or personal experience of what's on offer. Our primary goal is working with and for the LGBTQI community and without the community's support or goodwill we wouldn't have lasted six months in the business. It is not least through word of mouth that we grow stronger every day. Our hope is that after reading this you too will ask for our recommendations and advice and/or book your holiday through us.
HUMAN RIGHTS
Pink Iceland is founded on the belief that more can be done to welcome LGBTQI visitors to Iceland. We strive to to offer the best available services to our guests, working with suppliers who respect and adhere to human and civil rights.
We at Pink Iceland have committed ourselves to contributing to LGBTQI communities around the world in whatever way we can. This has been done with monetary donations, education about what we've achieved in this country and how we went about it and through on-going volunteer work for Samtökin'78 the national LGBTQI organization in Iceland as well as Reykjavik Pride Week where we offer our time and expertise for various events and causes. We constantly revise our policies, processes and activities and actively work towards implementing these. Our human rights commitments may often go unnoticed but when applicable we update our audience about the work we undertake through our social media outlets and website.

We believe that when planning the perfect wedding we need to create the perfect ecosystem in which this can happen. This means that we choose our partners well and cultivate our relationships with everyone we work with. By earning the respect of our partners we have created allies and made friends all around Iceland. This translates into our couples and their guests being met with warmth and genuine care by our partners.
This ecosystem naturally extends to the environment we work within. We owe our livelihoods and way of life to Icelandic Nature and we want to treat her with the respect she deserves. From its founding in 2011 we’ve strived to become the most environmentally positive company in Iceland, achieving ‘Gold’ status in Vakinn, the Icelandic Quality and Environmental System for the Icelandic tourism industry. We want to go far beyond this and become a force for good and a leader in the field. We hope you share this passion and are willing to join us in our efforts!
Here are some links for you to get to know us better.
We really encourage you to explore these links carefully as they will give you an insight into how we work and what we stand for. Please read through some of the reviews of our wedding planning service to get an idea of how we’ve worked with couples getting married using our services.

Our time in doing/providing some or all of the above
Our fee is collected in the beginning of the planning process and relates to the number of guests at the wedding. For logistics- or design-heavy weddings extra fees may apply. This is rare, and always something we discuss beforehand and agree on if it comes to it.
If we like each other and want to work together it’s best to decide on most things fairly early on. We recommend getting most of the logistical decisions out of the way early so that you can focus on the fun stuff!
Planning process
Once the initial planning fee is paid we’ll share an online folder with you, full of information and topics for you to think about, question and comment on. This folder contains a “Masterplan” which will serve as a live account of all the planning and decisions made in the process. Beside the Masterplan you will always have access to a costs spreadsheet and other information relevant to your wedding planning. Your planner will be on hand throughout the planning process via email and when needed phone and or video conversations. Rest assured we will always try to match or beat online prices and, if anything, we will be saving you money and a lot of time and effort. This also makes everything easier & simpler as you to only deal with one person throughout the planning process.
Bookings
We are a fully licensed tour operator and travel agency. We ask that, when possible, all bookings go through Pink Iceland. In some cases we get a commission from the service or accommodation provider. Please read our honesty policy here.
Price estimates 2022 / 2023
An Officiant for the ceremony costs between 65.000 - 85.000 ISK for a Reykjavik based ceremony. This is higher outside the city as travel fees will apply. Your choice of Officiant and type of ceremony will affect the price.
Photographer: Prices for photographers vary a lot. The price depends on location, duration and choice of photographer. We work with local and international photographers and will send you examples of their work. The most popular photography package is a full day shoot in the countryside with a talented local photographer. This will typically cost between 350.000 - 650.000 ISK. Please remember that you’re not only paying for the photographer's work that one day but also for 7 - 12 days of editing after the wedding takes place. Sometimes less experienced photographers get in touch with us, offering lower prices in order to gain experience. We can try to match you up with one of these aspiring photographers if you’re planning a wedding on a tight budget.
Videographer: Many couples want a video from the big day. Prices vary based on videographer, location, duration, editing etc. You can expect to pay from 350.000 ISK to 900.000 ISK for a full day.
Flowers: Flower costs will very much depend on the scope of ceremony and reception flowers you want on the day. We will tailor make your quote based on your wishes.
Outdoor Venues for ceremony: We pride ourselves in working closely with landowners and local authorities and always make sure we have full permission for using the sites our couples get married at. We either pay landowners directly for the use of their land as well as contributing to projects that help with our ongoing mission to become a carbon negative company.
Hair & Makeup: Price for a hair & makeup stylist for bride varies and depends on what you want / how many guests require services and whether or not you and your guests are based in the city or countryside. We will quote this based on what you need.
Food and Drink: For a sit-down dinner we usually estimate between 10.000 - 15,000 ISK pr. person and then again another 5.000 - 15.000 ISK per person on drinks depending on your venue and whether your reception then turns into a party.
Reception Venue Fee: These range from zero to 800.000 ISK depending on the venue you choose!
Performance artists: Prices here can range from around 100.000 ISK for a respected solo artists performing in your ceremony and beyond if you want a full band.
Tour and transfer costs vary depending on the location of your ceremony and whether or not you want to offer your guests a tour of some spectacular sites on your wedding day. This is best estimated during our initial consultation but our aim is to always offer incredible private tours at a price comparable to public bus tours.
All these zeros!
Here is an online currency converter to help with all the zeros of the Icelandic krona! Don’t include dots or commas when inputting the ISK amount. For example: 45.000 ISK should be input as 45000.
