Odd Fellow Palæet

What Odd Fellow Palæet does

Odd Fellow Palæet is a historic 1755 palace at Bredgade 28 in central Copenhagen, Denmark, operated as a premium event venue and restaurant under Restaurant Odd Fellow Palæet ApS (CVR 29692297), a private Danish limited company. The building is owned by the Odd Fellow Ordenen (Odd Fellow Order), which acquired it in 1900, while commercial restaurant and event operations have been run by manager Jimmy Perez since 2006. The palace spans approximately 9,000 sqm of total floor area with roughly 1,500 sqm of meeting and function space across six main halls (Concert Hall, Kings Hall, Knights Hall, Mirror Hall, Rose Hall, Gallery Hall) and six ancillary rooms, hosting events for groups of 25–300 guests.

The venue delivers a turnkey offering: hall rental, in-house catering, seasonal menus, organic and biodynamic wines, AV equipment, event coordination, and add-ons such as flower decorations, menu cards, cocktail bars, and butler service. Its core product is the historic building itself, restored after a 1992 fire to near-original 18th-century condition. The company runs a sustainability program including LED lighting retrofits, food-waste recycling to biogas, and partnerships with sustainable seafood suppliers (Bisserup, Fiskerikajen, FSK).

The business model is primarily direct-to-consumer and event-driven. Customers reach Odd Fellow Palæet via the website, phone, or in-person site inspections, with an in-house events team responding within 24 hours. Revenue is generated through per-person packages (ranging from DKK 360 for receptions to DKK 1,780 for weddings) plus room rentals (DKK 10,000–45,000 per event), with add-ons for flowers, drinks upgrades, and ceremony surcharges. A secondary revenue stream comes from acting as a booking intermediary for events at Kronborg Castle in Helsingør. The customer base is split between private individuals hosting weddings and celebrations, and corporate clients booking conferences, meetings, receptions, and gala dinners, with minimum participant thresholds (12–100 depending on package) supporting mid-to-large group bookings.

2. Food & Beverage (Restaurant): The in-house kitchen provides catering for events, including seasonal menus, wine, beer, spirits, and specialty items. Revenue is generated per person through fixed menu packages (e.g., wedding packages at ~1,780 DKK/person, business dinners at ~988 DKK/person). Additional upsells include extra courses, flower decorations, bar upgrades, and midnight snacks.
3. Kronborg Castle Venue Referral: Odd Fellow Palæet acts as a booking intermediary for events held at Kronborg Castle, referring clients and coordinating site inspections. Revenue is generated through the castle's own rental fees which are managed separately.
