Brynhildur Óla Elínardóttir

She served in Bakkafjörður, North East Iceland for a quarter of a century and has recently relocated to serve the community at Snæfellsnes Peninsula.
Along with her service, Brynhildur has been a sheep farmer and enjoys herself best in the company of good people, out in nature, and amongst animals.
Brynhildur is always open to new experiences and has in the past worked as a policewoman, painter, fisherman and park ranger in the highlands of East Iceland.
About ceremonies in Búðakirkja
The most common ceremonies in Búðakirkja are weddings.
Brynhildur is always happy to conduct services but it is also welcome to bring your own pastor to officiate.
But there are rules, set by the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Iceland, that must always be honored.
- only officiants of the Christian religion can conduct religious services in the church.
- legally binding ceremonies can only be performed by a Christian officiant.
