Iceland Wedding Locations: Snaefellsnes Peninsula

There is something really magical about Iceland’s Western region, specifically the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. I don’t know if it is the incredible coastline, unique waterfall, or the hallmark country churches that create that allure. But the area is surely one of Iceland’s most enchanted.

You’ll find this gorgeous peninsula about 2 hours northwest of downtown Reykjavik. It’s a lovely drive on Route 1. Along the way you will encounter the Hvalfjarðargöng Tunnel which is a 3 mile tunnel that allows you to cross 165 meters underwater. Before entering the tunnel, you will pay a toll that is approximately 1,000 ISK (~ $9 USD) one way. You will then stay on Route 1 until you reach the town of Borgarnes, where you will then take a left onto Route 54 which will lead you the rest of the way to the peninsula.

The Snæfellsnes Peninsula being such a fairy-tale location, is an exciting area to hold your Iceland destination wedding. It has endless unique places for Iceland wedding photos and romantic Iceland couples portraits. So what are the most fantastic spots in West Iceland’s Snæfellsnes Peninsula you should be sure to visit? Here are our personal Iceland Wedding Planner favorites (although not in any specific order):
