Confirmation in Zealand
Compare Five Confirmation Venues in Zealand
If you are planning a confirmation in Zealand, you can choose from five different Comwell hotels – from Copenhagen and North Zealand to Roskilde and Køge. The venues vary in terms of setting, size, price and what is included in their celebration packages.
Here, you can compare the options and find the setting that best suits the confirmand, your number of guests and the type of confirmation or non-confirmation celebration you would like to hold.
What to Consider When Choosing a Confirmation Venue in Zealand
All five venues can provide the setting for a confirmation celebration, but they suit different types of parties and preferences. They vary in the size of celebrations they are best suited to, how close you are to nature and the water, and how easy it is for guests to get there.
So the choice is not only about which venue appeals to you most at first glance. It can also depend on whether you are inviting 25 or 100 guests, whether you would like a terrace or green surroundings, and where your guests will be travelling from.
The minimum number of guests varies between the celebration packages shown. Comwell Køge Strand starts from a minimum of 20 guests, while Comwell Roskilde and Comwell Holte start from a minimum of 30 adults. On selected dates, the minimum at Comwell Holte is 40 adults, and Comwell Copenhagen Portside also has a minimum of 40 adults. Comwell Borupgaard has function rooms for 25–330 dining guests.
For a smaller celebration, it is therefore worth considering both the minimum number of guests and the size of the specific function room.
Comwell Køge Strand has the highest stated capacity, with room for up to 450 guests. Comwell Copenhagen Portside can accommodate up to 350 seated guests at long tables, while Comwell Borupgaard can host up to 330 guests. Comwell Roskilde states a capacity of up to 200 guests, and the function rooms at Comwell Holte can accommodate up to 140 people.
The largest room is not necessarily the right choice, however. It is also important to consider how the size of your party fits the room and the type of celebration you are planning.
Comwell Køge Strand gives you the beach and green outdoor areas close to the celebration, while Comwell Roskilde overlooks Roskilde Fjord. Comwell Borupgaard offers green manor house surroundings, and Comwell Holte is located close to Rude Forest and Vaserne.
Comwell Copenhagen Portside is the more urban alternative, with green atrium courtyards in the heart of Nordhavn.
That depends on where your guests are travelling from. Comwell Copenhagen Portside is a two-minute walk from Orientkaj metro station, while Comwell Borupgaard is 200 metres from Snekkersten Station and also offers free parking.
If your guests are coming from different parts of Zealand or elsewhere in Denmark, location may play an important role in your choice. Start by considering where your guests will actually be travelling from and how they are likely to get to and from the celebration.
Start with the number of guests, then consider how you would like to use the room. Do you need space for speeches and entertainment, would you like access to a terrace or green outdoor areas, and should guests be able to move between indoor and outdoor spaces?
Choosing the right room is therefore about more than maximum capacity. The size, layout and surroundings should suit both your party and the way you want to celebrate the day.
Compare Confirmation Prices in Zealand
Starting prices across the five venues range from DKK 848 to DKK 1,485 per person, but the packages are put together differently and also vary in duration. Comparing the price per person alone therefore does not give the full picture.
Comwell Køge Strand’s six-hour celebration package starts from DKK 848 per person and includes, among other things, a three-course menu as well as wine, beer and water during dinner. At Comwell Roskilde, the five-hour celebration package starts from DKK 889 and includes a welcome, a three-course gourmet menu and drinks during dinner.
Comwell Holte’s six-hour celebration package starts from DKK 1,028 and includes, among other things, drinks during dinner and a self-service bar afterwards. The five-hour celebration package at Comwell Copenhagen Portside starts from DKK 1,045 and includes beer, water and wine throughout all five hours, as well as the choice of either a three-course menu or buffet.
Comwell Borupgaard’s celebration package starts from DKK 1,485 per person and lasts eight hours. It includes, among other things, cava, a three- or four-course menu, unlimited wine, beer and soft drinks, coffee and tea, as well as a self-service bar with wine, beer and water.
The differences between the packages therefore come down to duration, menu, drinks and what is included after dinner. The most relevant comparison is the overall package in relation to the type of celebration you would like to hold.
Compare Transport and Parking Before the Confirmation
Comwell Copenhagen Portside is approximately 100 metres from the metro, while Comwell Borupgaard is around 200 metres from Snekkersten Station. There is also a clear difference for guests arriving by car: parking is free at Comwell Borupgaard, while Comwell Copenhagen Portside has paid parking in the basement beneath the hotel as well as parking available in a nearby car park.

At Comwell Køge Strand, Køge Station is 1.2 kilometres from the hotel. For guests travelling by train from Funen or Jutland, Køge Nord may also be relevant. The station is 8.8 kilometres from the hotel and has train connections to destinations including Funen, Jutland and Copenhagen. Comwell Roskilde is three kilometres from Roskilde Station and has a bus stop close to the hotel.
Comwell Køge Strand, Comwell Roskilde and Comwell Holte all offer free parking. If many guests are driving from other parts of Denmark, compare the full journey by car – including the stretch from the motorway to the hotel – rather than looking only at the distance from Copenhagen. Remember to factor in the journey from the church to the celebration venue as well.
Which Menu Is Right for Your Confirmation?
The menus are structured differently across the five hotels. At Comwell Copenhagen Portside, you can choose between a three-course menu and a buffet as part of the celebration package. Comwell Borupgaard’s package offers a choice of a three- or four-course menu, and the brochure also includes seasonal menus that you can put together yourselves. At Comwell Roskilde, the five-hour celebration package includes a three-course gourmet menu, with the main course served twice, while a celebration buffet is available for an additional charge.
The style of service is therefore worth considering when making your choice. A served menu keeps guests gathered around the tables, while a buffet creates more movement and gives guests the opportunity to choose between several different elements.
The dishes and choices also vary. At Comwell Copenhagen Portside, the seasonal menus combine Danish ingredients with elements such as labneh, yuzu and bulgur tabbouleh. Comwell Holte gives you the option of putting together a seasonal menu featuring ingredients such as asparagus, wild garlic and rhubarb, with the option to add an intermediate course for an additional charge. At Comwell Køge Strand, the seasonal menus include fish, meat and vegetarian options among both the starters and main courses.
The style of service also affects the package price. At Comwell Copenhagen Portside, the choice between three courses and a buffet is included. In Comwell Køge Strand’s brochure, a buffet-style main course costs an additional DKK 68 per person, while the celebration buffet in Comwell Roskilde’s five-hour package costs an additional DKK 75 per person. These are different buffet options, so compare both the content and the way the food is served.
What the hotels have in common is Comwell’s food concept, where taste and seasonal ingredients are the starting point, and local ingredients are used whenever possible. All Comwell hotels hold the Bronze Organic Cuisine Label. This means that 30–60% of food and beverage purchases are organic. The percentage applies to purchasing overall, not to the individual celebration menu. Speak to the hotel about the confirmand’s preferences, children’s menus and dietary requirements when choosing the dishes.
What You Need to Know About Cancelling a Confirmation Celebration
When planning a confirmation, it is helpful to know which terms apply if your plans or guest numbers change along the way. We therefore recommend reading the general cancellation terms well in advance, so you have a clear overview from the outset.
This gives you a better basis for planning the celebration and making decisions along the way. If you have any questions about the terms, we will of course be happy to go through them with you.
