Ceremony at a Highland Waterfall

Likewise, hearing the ceremony is extraordinarily important so make sure you have a sound system so it can be heard over the waterfall sounds and weather in Iceland. Further, if the ceremony will be longer than 5 minutes, consider having a seated ceremony. Also, if it’s a rural location, how will they use bathroom?
