Intimate, adventurous destination weddings in breathtaking locations around the world are my thing here at Amulet Events, and this time the spotlight is on the Swiss Alps. If you’re thinking of getting married in Switzerland you can expect magical mountain vistas among which you can ski and hike, and a charming, relaxing experience. I have partnered with luxury properties in the Swiss Alps to bring you bespoke wedding planning services, perfect for bringing your luxury adventure wedding to life.
Location & How to Get There
My partner properties can be found in the popular ski resorts of Gstaad and Crans-Montana, both of which offer panoramic alpine village charm and magical, sweeping valley and mountain views. Both regions can be reached from Geneva or Zurich airports, using Swiss or British Airways airlines from the UK and the likes of KLM and Lufthansa from the US.
Getting Married
When getting married in the Swiss Alps, you have a variety of options for your alpine destination wedding ceremony. The naturally awe-inspiring beauty of the region means you won’t struggle to find a scenic spot in which to say your vows – your only difficulty will be choosing between them all! With the help of a local celebrant you can choose to have a bespoke symbolic ceremony in more or less any location you like; imagine the top of a snow-capped mountain, the shores of an azure lake, the rich, woodsy charm of an alpine village. If you require a legal or religious ceremony, I can help you arrange this to take place in a local town hall or church too. Your intimate Swiss Alps wedding ceremony can be totally bespoke to your needs, and I want to help make sure each and every one is met!
Partner Properties – Accommodation and Wedding Dinner
I have partnered with a select range of luxury properties to make your wedding in the Swiss Alps just that little bit more special. They have been specially chosen for their excellent standards of accommodation and service and their ideal situation for your adventurous wedding celebrations.
Ultima Crans-Montana:
I at Amulet Events champion Ultima properties all around the world for their luxurious escapism, but also for their individuality. The property at Crans-Montana comprises 2 exclusive chalets which are completely private, giving you the intimate retreat experience you desire. They have ski-in, ski-out facilities for those couples wanting to hit the slopes after saying their ‘I dos’! One chalet features 8 master bedrooms and the other features 6, each one designed to feel modern and upscale whilst retaining the Swiss alpine charm you came for. On site there is a large heated pool, a spa, cinema and private lake. As with every Ultima property, their signature services such as concierge, private chef, driver and ski school are all available to you – as their brochure says, this is beyond luxury.
Ultima Gstaad:
Ultima Gstaad provides the same exquisite service and luxurious accommodation for your stay, and as a Swiss Alps wedding planner I, Nadia, know that its location among the snowy peaks ticks all the boxes. There are 11 suites at the hotel, as well as a restaurant, spa, cinema and hiking trails just a two-minute walk away. The prestigious village of Gstaad makes a superb base for your adventurous wedding celebrations in the Swiss Alps; between Amulet Events and the Ultima team, your adventurous wedding celebrations will be bespoke, indulgent and memorable.
The Alpina, Gstaad
The Alpina luxury hotel at Gstaad is unique in its sustainable design, constructed using local wood, stone and craftspeople as well as recycled materials. Set on a hillside, the hotel overlooks the pretty ski village below peppered with classic chalets – your quintessential Swiss Alps view from your window. This refined, elegant property is known for its gardens and art collections, and boasts some truly remarkable Swiss design features. If you choose an intimate Swiss Alps wedding here, you will find 56 rooms and suites (each featuring private terraces and stunning views), Michelin-starred restaurants, and a spa inspired by wellness techniques drawing on the surrounding mountains and valleys. I am certain that when planning your intimate destination wedding, this property will offer the true luxurious treat you seek.
Wasserngrat, Gstaad
Wasserngrat has been selected by me as a luxury choice for your wedding dinner. After a day spent with your loved ones saying your vows and taking advantage of the local seasonal activities, your wedding dinner in the Swiss Alps deserves to be special. The Wasserngrat restaurant declares that it blurs the lines between a meal-time and an experience. At Amulet Events I believe the heart of your destination wedding are the experiences you will have, and here the menu and wine options curated by the Buchs brothers are second to none. More than that, you can enjoy your local specialities whilst dining in a unique setting high above Saanenland – if it sounds like a fairytale, it is pretty close!
Le Grand Bellevue, Gstaad
Staying at Le Grand Bellevue hotel is like stepping into a magical storybook. I have partnered with this property for your intimate destination wedding accommodation and dinner because of the superior quality of its rooms, dining experience and service. Rooms range from classically Swiss chalet-style rooms to quirky, turreted tower suites but all have something in common – stylish decor, paired with staggering views of the surrounding mountains and Alpine vistas. Le Grand Bellevue also features luxurious spa facilities and Michelin-starred restaurant options, perfect for unwinding and indulging throughout your bespoke, Amulet-planned Swiss Alps wedding celebrations.
I could spend all day describing even more stunning Swiss Alps wedding venues perfect for your intimate destination wedding. If you need more options to look through, why not try one of the following; the Beau Rivage Palace or the Royal Savoy Hotel & Spa at Lausanne; the Portes de Iris near Morges; the Maison Buttin-de-Loes; the Grand Hotel du Lac; or the Fairmont le Montreaux Palace.
Vendors and suppliers
I am dedicated to creating luxury weddings that are a true extension of your personality and passions, and as such I work with only the very best handpicked suppliers in each destination. For your Swiss Alps wedding I will personally recommend suppliers and vendors with whom I have years of experience working alongside. You can therefore be sure that they deliver high quality service and a seamless experience, making your intimate destination wedding even more special and stress-free. I take pride in curating a team to make your most special moments totally effortless, ensuring your relaxation and satisfaction.
Activities
I can also assist with the booking of extra activities to elevate your destination wedding from special to extraordinary. Adventurous couples getting married in the Swiss Alps can be assured that I have a wealth of knowledge about special, memorable activities in the area. In the winter the Swiss Alps are a snow-lover’s paradise, perfect for ski enthusiasts. A wonderland of options, Gstaad and Crans-Montana offer other snow-dusted delights including horse-drawn sleigh rides, igloo building and mountaineering. Do not underestimate the beauty of a summer Swiss Alps wedding though; sun-drenched peaks and fields await you, with options for activities such as hot air balloon rides, mountain biking, hiking and swimming in breathtaking (quite literally!) lakes. Planning destination weddings is so special to me at Amulet, helping you to embark on the next adventure in your lives – and however you want to kick off that adventure, I can arrange your bespoke activities to suit you as a couple.
