PLANNING AN EVENT?
Åminne is a versatile venue for celebrations and events all year round, just 20 minutes from Vaasa city centre.
The Pavilion offers modern, spacious facilities for corporate events, conferences, and large gatherings, with seating for up to 430 guests.
Åminne Restaurant is ideal for smaller meetings and private celebrations, accommodating up to 90 guests.
We have made significant investments in Åminne. The Pavilion underwent a complete renovation in 2016–2017 and is now fully equipped to meet modern standards for professional events. The entire Folk Park area was revitalized during the summer of 2026.
Set in a unique archipelago setting, Åminne provides an inspiring venue for conferences, kick-offs, and corporate events that leave a lasting impression.
FOOD AND PARTY EXPERIENCE
Our guests value smooth, professional service, no matter the size of the event. Our team is known for its high level of hospitality and solution-oriented approach.
Head Chef Kim Hellman leads our kitchen. Renowned for his creative culinary concepts and innovative approach, he and his team create memorable dining experiences tailored to every type of event.
We are happy to tailor complete event solutions to suit your needs. With extensive experience in organizing successful events, we can help with everything from student dinners and corporate parties to elegant gala dinners.
With its distinctive circular design and large, easily accessible stage, the Pavilion is the perfect venue for a wide range of themes and concepts. Create unforgettable experiences all year round – from a beach party in February to an Oktoberfest celebration in autumn or a Christmas party in December.
All food and beverages are provided by us. We can also assist with event planning, décor, and complete event solutions to ensure a seamless experience.
MENU EXAMPLE
Archipelago buffet with local elements of pickled and smoked fish, salads and cold cuts. Fish and shellfish stew and grilled pig as a main course and a sea buckthorn panna cotta and meringue-chocolate mousse for dessert.
Three-course dinner with whitefish, local cabbage and reindeer lichen as a starter. Slow-grilled prime rib, roasted potatoes, vanilla-lemon braised carrots, red wine sauce and kale for main course. Finish with chocolate ganache infused rhubarb and blueberry parfait.
A dish for, for example, an Octoberfest would go well with Moose sausage, stewed parmesan potatoes and pickled local cabbage.
We work with local ingredients and farmers so the menu is in tune with the season.
RECOMMENDATIONS
VEO GROUP
"We held our staff party in Åminne in October. The place was beautifully decorated and had a lovely atmosphere. About 270 people attended the party. The communication and planning of the party was excellent and the menu for our event was created by professionals. The premises were perfect for this type of event: a common place and a big stage for the band. Despite the fact that the location is a bit remote from the center of Vaasa, the logistics worked excellently with bus communication. We arranged the food, venue, decorations and ushers through Kim – the event went well and we also got great feedback from our staff.” HR Director Piia Tuliniemi & HR Business Partner Sarita Åkerfelt, VEO Group
LOGSET OY
"We organized Logset's 30th anniversary party in Åminne. The party was attended by a dealer network from 19 different countries, as well as our staff and theirs from Kvevlax, a total of around 170 people. As a company that manufactures forest machinery, we ordered a forest themed menu and the grills were in full swing when the guests arrived. The pavilion was a great party venue, and the space was not too big despite the capacity of 700 people. The food prepared on the terrace was a great program number, and with great ideas, the party atmosphere was relaxed from start to finish. Thanks to the Åminne staff, the arrangements went so well that I was hardly needed. For me, they were the easiest and nicest parties I been involved in. The menu was very good, reasonably nice dinner combined with a relaxed atmosphere. The evening could not have been more like ours, thank you GW & Friends!” Marketing manager Jussi Metsäpelto, Logset Oy

AUTUMN 2026 HIGHLIGHTS
SEVEN SINS BY KIM HELLMAN RETURNS TO ÅMINNE FOR TWO EXCLUSIVE EVENINGS 23–24 OCTOBER
Some ideas simply refuse to let go. The concept of a tasting menu inspired by the Seven Deadly Sins has been with me since 2002. When Seven Sins finally debuted at Gustav Wasa, the response exceeded anything we had imagined. Night after night, the restaurant was fully booked, and every guest seemed to discover their own interpretation of the seven sins. It quickly became clear that this was more than just dinner. It was an experience. Since Gustav Wasa closed, one question has come up again and again: Will Seven Sins ever return? Now the answer is yes. Seven Sins returns to Åminne for two exclusive evenings—but not in the form you remember. — Chef Kim The menu to paradise begins in hell. Seven sins. Seven courses. Seven entirely new creations. 23–24 October at Åminne Tasting Menu €82 Wine Pairing €59 Book your table at www.aminne.info/contact Bus Transfers to Seven Sins To make your evening as convenient as possible, return bus transfers to Åminne are available.
