Intro

We had a magical wedding from start to finish. The scenery, the venue, the planning, and all the vendors helped make it an unforgettable and incredible experience. We could not have imagined a better fit for a winter wedding – being able to bring all of our friends together to ski, participate in all of the activities offered, and experience the local cuisine and culture was amazing. The hospitality was also above and beyond what we could have asked for.

About the day

It’s very difficult to choose only one most memorable moment on our big day, and that’s what made the wedding so special. We were honestly wowed and surprised by every moment in terms of the atmosphere, the aesthetics, and the joyful feeling. Because everything went so smoothly due to our wedding planner and professional venue, we were able to focus on each other, as husband and wife, and focus on our friends, who had traveled far to spend time together. Everyone had a great time and we love hearing “I made a lot of friends at this wedding” or “this was the best time I’ve had at a wedding” after the fact, and that was possible because everything went so well. 

Why choosing Switzerland

My husband and I met skiing at Whistler Blackcomb in Canada, so we wanted to get married at the ultimate ski destination – in Switzerland. Touring the Chedi, which had immaculate vibes of being modern, classy, and a touch of unique Asian flair, we knew we had found the spot we wanted to tie the knot. There would be plenty of adventures and activities, which are a central part of our and our friends lives as well as delicious food.

The Chedi Andermatt

The trendy luxurious hotel which opened its doors in 2013 is situated in quiet surroundings and only 850 m from the Gemsstock cable car. The suites and rooms have a view of the mountains. Decorated in an alpine style with an Asian touch, they are equipped with a minibar, iPad, and a flatscreen TV. Over 200 fireplaces make sure that the entire hotel feels cozy at all times. In the Open Kitchen, the chefs show their culinary artistry. There's also a cheese cellar, two first-class restaurants, a spa, and e-bikes for rent.
