Villa Pelander in Kauniainen, about 30 minutes from central Helsinki, hosts meetings and seminars from 10 to 140 people and parties, anniversaries and weddings for up to 100 guests. It has four event rooms in a historic villa with a garden, and an on-site restaurant with a buffet.
Seminars and company events
The venue sells meeting packages for strategy days, negotiations and larger seminars. A half-day package includes breakfast and lunch, and a full-day package adds further meals.

The official site describes a calm, green setting that suits both focused work and informal time together.

The Juhlasali, the party hall, is presented as the place for larger celebrations: confirmations, anniversaries and weddings. It seats 100 at tables and takes 100 for a cocktail reception, and it has a stage, a piano and a sound system. The main building and the garden give the setting for photographs and arrivals. A DJ and games can be added to the event.
