Seminars and company events
Four of the five rooms have AV equipment, a whiteboard and wireless internet, which makes them suitable for courses, meetings and conferences. The hotel lists morning, forenoon and evening meetings, day meetings and courses with an overnight stay, and can also deliver food off site. The hotel is close to the motorway and centrally placed in Jutland, so participants can arrive from several directions.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel hosts weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, baptisms, confirmations, receptions and memorial gatherings. For weddings, a ceremony can be held in the Skibelund Krat woodland, by the stage in the monument park on the wooded slope above the Kongeå. Permission and booking of the woodland go through the Skibelund Association, whose contact is given on the hotel's wedding page. A reception can follow in the hall with access to the large terrace, and the party itself is held at the hotel. Free overnight accommodation is offered to the couple. For a fixed-price party, the hotel gives a set price per guest for the chosen menu, with the room, table setting, flowers, candles, service and washing-up included. A room for the couple is free for parties of at least 20 guests.
