Subj: two strange questions

Hello, Anna:

Good afternoon! I just wanted to check in, say hello, and send along two questions Eric and I have. These are not strictly hotel-related so it is TOTALLY fine if you don’t know; we just need to get the answers before the invitations go out in mid-October, and asking you seemed like the right place to start. I am prepared to research these myself as well, but I thought I’d start with our lady on the ground in Reykjavik!

QUESTION #1
We are obviously going to have a civil marriage ceremony, which we learned takes place at the Reykjavik District Commissioner from Monday through Friday in the afternoon. As the reception is on a Friday night, we were wondering if it is feasible to have the ceremony at the courthouse and bring all of our guests! I have no idea what the space looks like (or if it can accommodate over 50 people piling into one room), but it is something we have thought about. Do you have any idea of this kind of thing can be done?

QUESTION #2
We are planning on contacting Icelandair to find out if we can get any kind of group rate discount on the flights. This is probably as easy as contacting the airline ourselves, but we were wondering if the hotel does any business with Icelandair and might recommend a contact we could speak with at the airline.

These are my silly questions of the day! Really, we are just trying to get all of the information we need for the invitations squared away, and then we can move onto the fun stuff when I come see you in December.

Thanks again for everything, and I look forward to hearing back from you.

Hope you had a great holiday!

Best as always,
Dan and Eric

Re: two strange questions

Hi My Grooms.

How are you...you don’t need to go to the commissioners offices. you can have the ceremony at the Grand Hótel Reykjavík with all of you guests, and the commissioner will come to you… how does that sound?


What we will do Daniel is when you come over to see the hotel what we will do is look at few rooms and you and Eric can pick your favorite room…But these two rooms Ásgarður or útgarður on our penthouse floor we will have.

Regarding the airline, Rósa Guðmundsdóttir is our contact person and not only is she great but she is a group specialist: rosa@icelandair.is.

I am of to Oslo tomorrow but I will check my emails…

Remember if you don’t ask you will not get the answer.. I am her to help you… so ask away, it does not matter about the silliness of the question!

My best regards,
Anna
