Meeri&Alan
are getting married
Villa Bella Vista Finland
Come celebrate with usTervetuloa. You're warmly invited.
British roots. Finnish hearts.
A little British charm.
With some Finnish magic.
Somehow, a Brit and a Finn found each other.
Now we're bringing our favourite people together.
Join us, Meeri Urpo and Alan Doherty, for our wedding in Finland. There will be music in the air, something lovely in your glass, and a dance floor waiting for anyone who fancies it.
It wouldn't be the same without you.
Saturday, 21 August 2027
How the day unfolds.
One time to remember. After that, just be here.
The “I do” part
We begin at Michael's Church in Turku, with our favourite people around us as we become husband and wife.
Michael's Church, Puistokatu 16, 20100 Turku
Then, all together
Off to the villa
We'll arrange transport from the church to Villa Bella Vista. Settle in; the celebrating starts here.
A glass, a little music
Cocktails & strings
Raise a glass as the Aura Trio fills our cocktail hour with classical music. A moment to mingle, catch up, and take it all in.
Pull up a chair
A feast among friends
A wedding buffet, good company, and an open bar. Tell us about any allergies or dietary needs in your RSVP.
Later, as the night warms up
A little heat. A lot of happiness.
The bar opens and the party begins, with a DJ keeping the dance floor busy. Dance, sing along, or simply keep enjoying the evening. No rush, no timetable.
After the ceremony, we’re following the feeling - not the clock.
Our gathering place

One place, all our people.

A place to rest your head
Make a
weekend of it.
Travelling from Britain, elsewhere in Finland, or a little further afield? We'd love to help keep everyone close by.
We're gathering interest in a hotel block booking. Let us know in your RSVP if you'd like to join, and how many rooms and nights you might need.
Hotel, rates and dates are still to be confirmed. Expressing interest isn't a reservation or a commitment.
Count me in for hotel updatesA few little things
Good to know.
How do we get from the church to the villa?
We'll provide transport from the church to Villa Bella Vista after the ceremony. Pick-up details will be shared closer to the wedding. Let us know in your RSVP if you have any accessibility or transport needs.
What about food and drinks?
We'll have a buffet and an open bar. Please include any food allergies or dietary requirements in your RSVP, including whose requirements they are if you're replying for two people.
Can I join the hotel block booking?
Yes - let us know you're interested in the RSVP form below. We're collecting interest before confirming a hotel, availability and rates. This doesn't book a room; we'll share the next steps once details are ready.
When will the remaining details be available?
We'll update this page with the church location, venue address, hotel information and other practical details when they're confirmed. The date to save is 21 August 2027, with the church ceremony at 3:30 PM, local Finnish time.
