“They’ve set a new benchmark for professionalism, transparency, and efficiency in this space.”
From the very start, the experience was nothing short of exceptional… Their professionalism reinforced something I now truly believe: when an agency operates with genuine care and strong work ethic, client satisfaction becomes inevitable. Even after the wedding, I’m still amazed at the quality of their work.

This is the moment you’ve been preparing for.
Depending on the level of support you have chosen, in the run up to your special day you have access to our Wedding Day Team, who are there to support you, answer any questions you have and help make sure everything runs smoothly – so you can simply focus on each other and the moment.
The ceremony takes place at the town hall and is conducted by the local authorities. It is typically short and simple, usually lasting around 5 minutes, while still being a meaningful and official moment.
After the ceremony, you receive your Danish marriage certificate, which is internationally recognised and forms the basis for everything that follows.

The wedding ceremony in Denmark
Returning home as
a married couple
You return home as a married couple, with your wedding in Denmark complete.
After your ceremony, a record of your marriage is kept in the marriage register at the town hall where you got married. It is not registered with any other Danish authority. When you return home, you will need to register your marriage in the country where you live. This is usually done at your local registry or government office.
It is not possible to change your name in Denmark unless you are a legal resident of Denmark. If you plan to change your name after your wedding, this is also handled with the authorities in your country of legal residence.
You receive international marriage certificates after your ceremony, which you can use for registration and any other formalities at home.
We’re still here after your wedding and happy to help if you have any questions about your marriage certificate or what comes next.
We’re here if anything is unclear or if you’d like to talk things through.

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.
This is for those couples who are considering getting married in Denmark and are looking for some helpful information on how to get started and how the process works:
