Vauhtifarmi, in Perttula in the municipality of Nurmijärvi, hosts company parties, meetings, team days and weddings for groups from 10 up to 600 people. The farm lies in a forest about 35 kilometers from Helsinki and 25 minutes from Helsinki-Vantaa airport. Indoor halls, terraces, saunas, a bar and outdoor fields are on one site, together with an activity program that includes airsoft, combat archery and paintball.
Seminars and company events
The farm lists meeting spaces for groups of all sizes. The Sadonkorjuusali, the harvest hall, seats about 100 to 110 at tables, or about 150 with part of the room set only with chairs. The lounges of the representative saunas below the hall take up to 40 people when both sides are in use. The upper and lower outdoor terraces suit meetings in good weather, 60 people on each. The bar takes up to 40, the Australian-style Outback bar takes up to 20 for private use, and a rock-side or tent meeting outdoors takes up to 30. Lawn and terrace meetings reach 600 people, and a sauna meeting fits 10 or 30 depending on the sauna. Meeting technology varies by room, so ask about it in advance.
For company parties, the farm states a theoretical maximum of more than 600 outdoors in summer and 150 indoors in winter. Parties can follow a theme such as a Christmas party, Halloween, an Oktoberfest, a sauna and pool party or a farm party. The team suggests program ideas such as stand-up, improv, karaoke, a quiz, a music jam or outdoor games, and groups may bring their own band. The farm also offers team-building games for companies.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are held in the Sadonkorjuusali, which takes about 100 guests. The hall is usually rented only for weddings, though other customers may be on the farm in the outdoor areas, saunas, pool area and bar on the same day. The couple can bring their own band and program. The farm holds full alcohol licences, so drinks come through the farm, and a couple who prefer an outside caterer can ask about it. The ceremony can take place on the terraces, and from May to October at the pool. The upper terrace seats 60 and the lower terrace 30 to 40.
Rooms and capacities
The Sadonkorjuusali holds 100 seated and 150 standing, and with the bar that opens at its end the space takes more than 170 people in total. The bar offers high tables and stools for 40 and a pool table. The lower terrace by the saunas takes up to 50.
