When can I decorate the event space?

• Restaurant Furu serves breakfast every day, so you can decorate the restaurant no earlier than 1 p.m. on the day of the celebration.
• The banquet hall or basement restaurant can be decorated the day before, provided there are no other events scheduled.
• Preliminary reservation inquiry about the event space is possible approximately one month before the event date and final confirmation one week before.

Do all personal belongings/decorations/sound equipment have to be removed immediately after the wedding celebration?

• Restaurant Furu serves breakfast, so the premises must be vacated immediately after the wedding celebration.
• You can leave your belongings in the banquet hall and the basement restaurant overnight at your own risk, if the reservation situation allows. The swing door of the banquet hall cannot be locked

How is cleaning handled?
The hotel staff will clean everything except for decorations/sound equipment/gifts that the wedding party wishes to keep.

Is there a backstage area for the band or photographer?

• Restaurant Furu does not have a backstage area, but you can reserve a small meeting room for this purpose for 100€/day.
• Adjacent to the banquet hall is the Ulappa cabinet, which can be used as a backstage area.
• There is a backstage area inside the basement restaurant.

What kind of sound system is there in the event space?

• All rooms have background music sound systems, which you can use to play your own music via Bluetooth from your phone/tablet/computer.
• A single microphone for speech is included in the price of the wedding package.
• A separate sound system is required for a band or DJ. You can bring your own or we can rent one from our partners for an additional fee.

Can I taste the food and wine in advance?

• Unfortunately, we do not organize public tastings.
• Private tastings can be booked for an additional fee (starting at 500€).
• Wedding cakes can be tasted at ph7 locations, and some cakes are available in pastry versions. Ask ph7 customer service for more information.
• Wines can be tasted free of charge at the planning meeting.

What does the table setting include? Are candles allowed in the premises?

• Pure white tablecloths, cloth napkins (white or nougat, as desired), cutlery, and glasses.
• We have a few mismatched vases, but if you want a uniform look, we recommend bringing your own vases.
• You can borrow clear “Kastehelmi” candle holders from us (please bring your own candles).
• Real candles are allowed.

What kind of table arrangement/seating plan is suitable for the premises?

• The banquet hall has round tables, which we recommend seating 5-8 people per table. The wedding couple can sit at a round table with their close friends and family, or they can have their own table.
• Restaurant Furu has long tables for 8-16 people, a separate table for the wedding couple, or a so-called T-shaped table, where the wedding couple sits crosswise at the end of the long table.
• The basement restaurant has small round tables for 4-5 people. Long tables are available in the basement restaurant at an additional cost.
• Sample seating plans can be found under this page. Our staff will be happy to help with any questions regarding seating arrangements.

Can the wedding ceremony be held at the venue?

• The ceremony can be held on the terrace belonging to Restaurant Furu. The terrace has around 30-40 chairs, which we can arrange in rows, with the remaining guests standing at the back.
• If you choose the Banquet Hall or Basement Restaurant, the terrace can be rented for the ceremony at a cost of 550€.
• Please note that in case of rain, the ceremony can be moved to your own event space, but these spaces are a bit cramped, especially for weddings with more than 50 guests, and there is no room for ceremony furniture.
• Our magnificent Auditorium is an alternative for indoor ceremonies, subject to availability, for which we charge 600€.
