In 2025 the most couples married in August (3,506), followed by July (3,041) (Statistics Finland). A total of 22,082 marriages were contracted during the year, so it is worth booking summer Saturdays well in advance.

It varies from venue to venue. Always ask whether cleaning, dishes, linens, technology, caretaker and VAT are included in the price. For example, the price of the Sampola ballroom in Tampere (180 € VAT 0, 2025) is supplemented by an hourly caretaker charge of 35–70 €/h.

They are, when the event is customary, reasonable in cost and available to all staff (Tax Administration guidance VH/7540/00.01.00/2024). The guidance sets no fixed euro amount. A spouse's participation can be accepted if it is customary.

The VAT on purchases for customary staff recreation events is deductible for a VAT-liable company, and the costs are fully deducted in income taxation. If the event is entertainment intended for customers, VAT may not be deducted (VAT Act section 114) and only 50 % is deducted in income taxation.

Value added tax on restaurant and catering services is 13.5 % as of 1.1.2026. The general rate of 25.5 % applies to serving alcoholic beverages and, for example, programme services.

Renting out space alone is in principle a VAT-exempt transfer of the right to use real property (VAT Act section 27). If the rent includes significant other services, such as catering, technical equipment or staff, the whole may be a taxable service. The VAT obligation arises when taxable sales exceed 20 000 € in a calendar year. Under certain conditions the space can also be let with VAT to a VAT-liable tenant by registering as a taxable person.
