Seminars and company events
Villa Pähkinämäki is a converted barn in the Nousiainen countryside, in Southwest Finland, rented for celebrations and also for seminars, meetings and recreation days. The party hall seats up to 120 guests for a meal, and the venue states a maximum of about 130 depending on the table layout. The hall has a projector and a projection screen, a 15 square meter stage, a bar counter and a backstage area, which covers the basic needs of a company day or an evening presentation.
The grounds add variety for a team day. Guests can move between the hall, the pavilion, the terraces and the pondside lawn, and a log sauna stands beside the lawn.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the use the venue shows most. The pondside lawn is a popular place for ceremonies and photographs, and the party hall hosts the reception. The site also lists birthdays, graduation parties and family celebrations. A decoration rental shop on the same site hires out flower arrangements, candles, textiles, vases, lighting and furniture to couples, and a booking calendar shows open dates.
Rooms and capacities
The party hall is on the upper floor of a barn built in 1953. The site gives the hall as about 200 square meters on one page and about 250 square meters on another, so the area is worth confirming. It seats up to 120 people at tables and takes about 130 at most, depending on the layout. The hall suits small groups too, because of its soft atmosphere, according to the venue.
The hall has four indoor toilets, a serving kitchen, a bar counter, cold storage, a stage of 15 square meters and a backstage room. Access is step-free. It is heated to about 20 degrees when the outside temperature is at least 0 degrees, and the season runs from May to mid-October.
The pavilion is a granary converted from a building of the early 1900s, about 20 meters from the hall entrance. It has seating, garden tables, a swing, decorative lighting and sun on its terraces until evening. A covered smoking shelter stands beside it and is the only place on the property where smoking is allowed.
Accommodation
The official site does not describe accommodation.
Catering
Guests of weddings have praised the food, but the site pages given here do not describe the catering model. The hall has a serving kitchen, so organisers should ask the venue whether it supplies food or whether a caterer is brought in.
History and setting
The barn was built in the 1950s. Renovation began in 2018, and the first weddings were held in 2019. The property sits in open countryside with its own garden, a pond and a log sauna.
Getting there
The address is Halisojantie 60, 21270 Nousiainen. The venue advises searching for Villa Pähkinämäki in Google Maps rather than entering the street address. There is parking for about 70 cars. The sand road between the hall and the pavilion is a fire lane, so cars must not park there.
