A wedding day surrounded by Taevaskoja nature
Looking for a wedding venue where nature, a peaceful atmosphere and your own people come together as one? Taevaskoja Holiday Centre suits couples who want to celebrate their day in a relaxed setting close to nature — away from the city bustle, near Suur Taevaskoda and the Ahja River.
Here you can combine the ceremony, the banquet table, catering, accommodation, sauna and time together into your wedding day. If you wish, the celebration can become a whole weekend, so guests don't have to hurry off at the end of the evening and there is more time to spend together.
A wedding at your own pace
Every wedding day is different. Some couples want a smaller, calmer celebration with family and loved ones, others a more festive evening with dancing, music and an overnight stay.
At Taevaskoja, the wedding can be built around the number of guests, the season and the feeling you want for your day. The day can be simple and close to nature, more festive and planned down to the last detail, or something in between.
Before making a final decision, we recommend coming to see the place in person. With a wedding venue, the feeling is very important — it has to suit both the plan and the mood of your day.
Why have your wedding at Taevaskoja?
Nature creates a special atmosphere
Taevaskoja's nature, sandstone outcrops, forest and the surroundings of the Ahja River give the wedding day a special backdrop. It suits couples who are not looking for a classic banquet hall, but a place where the day feels truly their own and memorable.
Ceremony and party in one area
If you wish, the ceremony or the guests' welcome table can be arranged at Suur Taevaskoda and the celebration can continue at the holiday centre. This way the wedding day combines a natural setting with practical party arrangements.
Accommodation, catering and time together in one place
The party hall, catering, accommodation, sauna and evening get-together can be planned as one whole. This makes the arrangements simpler and gives guests the chance to stay longer.
Food straight from the garden, just like at grandma's in the countryside.

Party hall and spaces for getting together
The wedding party can be held in the rooms of Taevaskoja Holiday Centre or, in the right season, the celebration can also extend to the outdoor area.
The Seminar House hall is a bright room with large windows that can be adapted to the character of the party. In addition, the fireplace hall, sauna, terrace, campfire and barbecue area and other facilities can be used depending on the chosen arrangement.
When choosing the spaces, we help you consider:
- the number of guests
- the table layout
- the need for a dance floor
- the catering format
- the flow between ceremony and party
- the wish for a sauna or an evening get-together
- the need for accommodation
Wedding table and catering
Good food is an important part of the wedding day. At Taevaskoja, the wedding table can be set according to the style of your party, the number of guests and the course of the day.
It is possible to plan a welcome table for guests, a festive dinner, snacks, desserts, coffee breaks or another suitable option. For catering, local produce is preferred where possible, and the menu can be adapted to the wishes of the party and to special dietary needs.
When it comes to catering, it is worth thinking about:
- whether you would like a welcome table
- whether the party needs a festive dinner or a more casual table
- whether you need snacks, dessert or a coffee break
- whether guests have allergies or special dietary needs
- whether the cake is brought separately or you would like recommendations
Accommodation for guests
On-site accommodation makes the wedding day more relaxed for both the bride and groom and the guests. Those coming from further away don't have to set off at the end of the evening, and the next morning there is still time to spend together.
At Taevaskoja, guests can be accommodated in the Seminar House, the Camp House and other accommodation options. We will help you choose a suitable arrangement according to the number of guests, the desired level of comfort and the format of the wedding.
If the wedding party lasts longer than one evening, it can become a lovely weekend surrounded by nature.
A wedding weekend surrounded by nature
If you want your wedding to be more than one evening, a longer stay can be planned at Taevaskoja. Guests can arrive at a relaxed pace, attend the ceremony, celebrate in the evening and stay the night.
The next morning can continue with a shared breakfast, a walk or a more relaxed time together. It suits couples who want the wedding not to rush by, but to give them time to be truly present.
Ceremony surrounded by nature
The Suur Taevaskoda sandstone outcrop is about 700 metres from the holiday centre. If you wish, the ceremony or the guests' welcome table can be arranged there, in the middle of nature.
After the ceremony, the celebration can continue at Taevaskoja Holiday Centre, which has a party hall, outdoor area, catering, accommodation and options for an evening get-together.
The exact arrangement of the ceremony depends on the number of guests, the season and weather, the desired decoration, seating and transport needs and the schedule of the wedding day. For an outdoor ceremony it is always worth having a suitable backup plan.

What others say
“I recommend the conference room at Taevaskoja Holiday Centre as a venue for further training, in-house training and information days. A spacious, roomy conference room with natural light in the middle of an old-growth forest. Tables and chairs can be arranged to suit the nature of the event. Service that makes you want to work together again.”
“When you arrive at Taevaskoja Holiday Centre, you feel like a welcome guest. The staff are, without exception, bright-eyed, friendly and accommodating people. And the cooks are probably the best in South Estonia.”
Questions about organising a wedding
Yes, Taevaskoja's peaceful and inspiring natural setting is well suited to seminars, training sessions and team development days. The working day can be combined with joint activities and time in nature, which helps refresh the mind and gives new energy for everyday work.
Bad weather doesn't have to spoil a good event! When putting together the programme, we take possible weather conditions into account and help find suitable alternatives. Light rain often doesn't stop outdoor activities, but in heavier rain we can adapt the programme as far as possible. Our aim is for the event to succeed in any weather.
Of course! Every company and team is different, so we take a flexible approach to organising events. You can come with your own ideas and wishes, or let us help you put together a suitable programme. Together we will find a solution that meets your team's expectations, schedule and budget.
It all depends on your wishes and goals! At Taevaskoja you can organise a team activity of a few hours, a full-day company event or a multi-day trip with accommodation. We recommend allowing enough time for colleagues to enjoy both the shared activities and some free socialising.
Taevaskoja Holiday Centre is located in a peaceful and scenic setting, away from the bustle of the city and heavy traffic. We want all our guests to feel comfortable and safe here. The grounds are well suited to families, children's and youth groups, as well as adults. As anywhere in nature, it is worth following the usual safety rules here too and keeping an eye on younger children.
