Egholm Vestergaard is a farm on the island of Egholm in the Limfjord, a five-minute ferry crossing from Aalborg. It hosts meetings, company parties, weddings and private celebrations. The farm runs only one event at a time, so a company booking has the whole property without other groups. The farm is run by Jens and Daniel, who plan the day with the client and handle it from start to finish.
Seminars and company events
The meeting offer is a full-service day. The farm has two large meeting rooms, two smaller ones and a fireplace room (pejsestuen). Audiovisual equipment, notepads and writing supplies are ready, and staff look after the group all day. The farm quotes from five participants upward. For bigger groups it prepares an individual offer, and the site does not state a maximum headcount.
A standard meeting day starts with breakfast on arrival, followed by a two-course seasonal lunch with a beer or water, afternoon cake and sweets, and coffee, tea, ice water and fruit throughout. An optional dinner extension adds a starter and a three-course seasonal menu cooked at the hearth, with a drinks package available. Company parties are held in the same informal setting, for an evening with colleagues.
Weddings and receptions
A wedding here uses the whole farm. The rental runs from Saturday to Sunday with exclusive access, and arrival on Friday can be added for a quiet dinner before the day. The price has two parts, a fixed rental and a per-guest rate that depends on the package, which can include reception, dinner, wine, bar, late-night food, breakfast and accommodation. The farm writes one itemized offer and builds a schedule with the couple.
The ceremony usually takes place in the courtyard, with guests seated under chestnut trees facing the main building. It can move indoors at short notice if the weather turns. The farm works with the priests of Vesterkær Kirke for church ceremonies, and local politicians from Aalborg often come out to the island for civil ones. Couples may also marry on the mainland. The farm works with florists and decorators for the styling.
Rooms and capacities
Meeting rooms are listed above without capacities. The farm gives no seat counts on its website, so ask for the figure that matches your layout. Because only one event runs at a time, the rooms, courtyard and grounds are all available to your group.
Accommodation
The farm has 18 double rooms. Some can take extra beds when guests want to share, and further sleeping places can be arranged. Meeting guests can book single rooms with a private bathroom and toilet, with breakfast the next morning. The wedding offer includes the option to stay overnight and have breakfast together the day after.
Catering
The kitchen serves seasonal food with character and wine to match. Dinner can be cooked at the hearth. The farm takes care of the food, drinks and practical details, so the host or organiser can stay with the guests.
Getting there
Egholm Vestergaard is at Egholm 57, 9000 Aalborg. The Egholm ferry leaves from Egholm Færgevej in Aalborg Vestby. The crossing takes about five minutes, runs every day all year, and takes cars. Ticket information is linked from the Aalborg Municipality site.
