From the first contact itself everything was perfect. The team explained everything in detail and guided us along the way. Being an international couple it was difficult to get married in Germany. So we chose Denmark…This wouldn’t be possible without GMiD. Highly professional, responsive and helpful.
Recommend 100%!

As you married in Denmark your wedding will be registered here so, on your return home, you will still need to register it in the country where you are residing.
This can usually be done at your local registry office or government office and we recommend that you do that as soon as possible.
If you would like to change your name now that you are married this also needs to be completed in the country you are residing.
Our Wedding Magazine offers you a selection of inspirational ideas, tips and information about marriage in Denmark. With articles ranging from what’s on in Denmark, through to couple’s stories, we aim to help you to see beyond the paperwork so you can truly envision and plan your Danish wedding adventure!
When Leanne from Getting Married in Denmark asked me to talk about Pride and LGBTQIA weddings, I felt really privileged to have the opportunity to use this space to talk about such topics. This also shows Getting Married in Denmark’s commitment towards creating a better world for us all, which makes me very proud to collaborate with them.

Østerbro is an urban hub in Copenhagen, northeast of the city centre; brimming full of shops, restaurants, families, and cultural activity. It even has a beach!
Nestled in the heart of Østerbro sits Villa Kultur. A gorgeous building and garden that is used for events; large, small and everything in between.
At Villa Kultur, they describe themselves as “a little green oasis in an urban landscape” and we think it could be just what you’re looking for, for your Copenhagen wedding!?
If you would like to know what documents you need for marriage in Denmark, why not contact us to receive a free documents list? We answer everyone who contacts us – and free of charge.
We will then send you a preliminary list of documents to get you started.
Everyone’s circumstances are different. Therefore, the documents you need will vary greatly from one couple to another.
To see a list of the general documents, take a look at our page:
People from all over the world can get married in Denmark – and of any gender. The only exception can be if you currently have asylum seeker or refugee residential status.
Can same-sex couples marry in Denmark?
Absolutely!
Denmark is a popular destination for same-sex couples who wish to marry.
Denmark was the first country in the world to grant recognition to same-sex unions in 1989. This has now been replaced by a new same-sex marriage law.
Getting married in Denmark is so easy, but some strict conditions apply.
You must be at least 18 years old to marry in Denmark.
If either of you have been previously married, that marriage must have been legally dissolved before you can marry again.
To get married in Denmark you need to be able to legally enter the country. Therefore you need to either have a valid visa or a type of residency that allows entry in to Denmark.
There are many wonderful town halls around Denmark where you can have your wedding ceremony.
We recommend the town halls who love to welcome international couples and are more geared towards offering you a lovely ceremony.
When you engage our services we send you a list of the town halls that we recommend. This list includes all the information you need about each town hall. With the list you can make a decision about which town hall would be right for your special day.
The list of town halls we work with includes:
You will usually need to be in Denmark at least 2 days. You need one day to present your documentation and the second day to have your wedding ceremony.
Some town halls require that you present your documentation the same day. There are always different factors to take into account like your travel and flight plans.
Denmark is an amazing place. Therefore we would always recommend that you stay longer to enjoy what the country has to offer. But we do understand that many of our couples need to get home as quickly as possible.
We give you all the information and guidance you need to choose the option that suits you.

The most important part of the whole process is your wedding day. We hope that you can start planning as soon as possible.
We always advise to wait until we have processed your documents. We also recommend that you wait until the town hall of your choice has confirmed the date of your ceremony.
After this you can start planning your wedding and stay in Denmark.
The Agency of Family Law’s application process is an online platform.
You would be required to complete an extensive form online and upload the relevant documentation.
Once completed, the Danish Agency of Family Law sends you receipts as confirmation.
By law they are required to get back to you about your application within 5 days. The same goes for any amendments or extra documentation required.
Once they have responded there is no longer any requirement to get back to you within a certain timeframe and they will prioritise other new applications before replying to you again.
When you choose our Complete Service we carry out the application process for you. We have a phone line to the Agency of Family Law and this helps us find solutions to any issues that may arise.
