This summer, the municipality is offering couples the opportunity to get married at several unique cultural and natural locations, including Agatunet, Folgefonna and Trolltunga.
Date: May 15
Date: May 29
Date: August 21
Agatunet is a unique historic site with a history dating back to the 1100s. It is an open-air museum and an original cluster farmstead consisting of 45 protected buildings gathered in one courtyard. The oldest building is Lagmannsstova from the year 1220, which is the oldest preserved courthouse and secular wooden building in Norway that still stands in its original location. Entering this building is truly a special experience.
We imagine the wedding ceremony taking place inside Lagmannsstova, but it can also be held outdoors in the courtyard if desired. Either way, it will be a beautiful moment and create lasting memories — this is truly a place you will not easily forget.
Agatunet is idyllically located just north of Odda on the western side of the Sørfjord. In May the surrounding fruit orchards are often in bloom. The fruit blossom in Hardanger is famous and attracts many visitors each spring. Since the blooming period is short, we hope the timing will align perfectly with this wedding date.
The parking area is located close to the courtyard, so there will only be a short walk to reach the ceremony site.
We will be present at Agatunet between 13:00 and 18:00.
Please note that bringing your own alcohol is not allowed at Agatunet, but you can purchase a glass of local Hardanger cider on site.
Agatunet is traditional Norwegian village center near Aga in Ullensvang by the Sørfjorden. The oldest building is the Lagmannsstova from 1220. At Agatunet you can book guided tours and see art and cultural-historical exh...
Aga Sideri is situated idyllically by the Sørfjorden in Ullensvang. Award-winning Hardanger Cider is produced here, and during a guided farm tour, you can taste and buy this local specialty.
From cider and apple juice to lamb meat, cured sausages, and jams, Hardanger is a region with rich traditions when it comes to food and drink.
Folgefonna is Norway’s third largest glacier, located within the municipalities of Etne, Ullensvang and Kvinnherad, and it is part of Folgefonna National Park.
On this day we will bring couples who wish to get married close to the edge of the glacier. You can drive up from Jondal, making this a great opportunity to experience the glacier without a long hike. However, we recommend wearing suitable clothing and footwear for a short walk, as we would like to find the most beautiful location for the ceremony.
We hope for sunshine and warm weather, but if the weather is poor, the ceremony can be moved indoors to the visitor centre of the former Folgefonna Summer Ski Centre, located at Folgefonnvegen 1830. If you wish to change into wedding clothes, this can also be done inside the centre.
The visitor centre is located at approximately 1,200 metres above sea level, while the highest point of the glacier in this area is around 1,600 metres.
We believe this will be a wonderful day, and the drive up to the glacier itself is a beautiful experience, offering impressive views of the fjord and mountains.
All couples must arrange their own transportation to the end of the road and bring their own food and drinks for the day.
We will be available between 13:00 and 18:00.

The municipality will once again arrange wedding ceremonies at Trolltunga on Friday, August 21.
We hope for warm and pleasant weather, but this cannot be guaranteed. Everyone must therefore be prepared for changing conditions and dress accordingly.
The hike to Trolltunga is relatively long, and all couples must hike both ways. You should allow around 4 hours each way, meaning approximately 8 hours of hiking in total. All participants must also bring their own food and drinks for the day.
We will be present between 11:00 and 16:00.
We encourage everyone to start the hike early and to book parking at P3 (Topp) in advance. Bringing a small tent can also be a good idea.
Many couples ask whether they need to bring their own witnesses. This is not necessary, as staff from Ullensvang municipality who are present on site can act as witnesses during the ceremony.
There will be no fixed schedule for the ceremonies. Couples will be married as they arrive, which usually works very well.
The number of couples may be limited.
All couples must provide a Norwegian Certificate of No Impediment (Prøvingsattest) issued by the Norwegian Tax Administration, confirming that there are no legal obstacles to the marriage.
Norwegian couples usually receive this document quickly.
For couples from other countries, the process often takes longer. It typically takes at least 5–6 weeks, as applicants without a Norwegian personal identification number cannot apply digitally.
Please note that municipal staff cannot assist in obtaining this certificate. All couples must arrange this themselves.
Foreign citizens may also need approval from their home country before they can receive a Norwegian certificate from the Tax Administration.
It is important to note that the certificate is only valid for four months from the date it is issued. Couples must therefore apply at the correct time so that the wedding date falls within the validity period.
A valid Norwegian certificate of no impediment is an absolute requirement for the ceremony.
