What is a Mayday Ceremony Service?

If you have already obtained your approval from the AFL but are not sure who to contact next or how to proceed, then you may be interested in taking one of our ‘Mayday Ceremony Services’.

If you would like us to take care of the logistics of booking your wedding ceremony at the town hall and you’re looking for a wedding date sooner than the ‘standard’ availabilities at these town halls will allow, then hiring a Private Registrar at Copenhagen City Hall for a sooner ceremony date, or taking the Fast Friday Ceremony at Stevns town hall for a wedding on a Friday with private witnesses (when witnesses are not provided by the town hall) then these additional ceremony services will work perfectly for you.

You will also have the full support of our Wedding Day Team who will be here to help you with any questions you may have in the run up to your ceremony, and beyond!

Our Private Registrar Service offers you a ceremony outside of the standard wedding ceremony appointments at the City Hall which are sometimes booked up, weeks or even months in advance.

By hiring a registrar,

– you will have more chance of getting married on the date you wish, at shorter notice.

– You can have a half an hour ceremony instead of 7 minutes (Only with Registrar Private Plus)

– Same day documentation presentation (except for Saturdays)

We can only check availability and book your registrar once we have your application approval from the Danish Government. It’s important to note that private registrars can become booked up too. This is why we can’t guarantee specific dates. We recommend being flexible by a couple of days on either side.

How is it different from a standard town hall wedding at the City Hall?

At Copenhagen City Hall, standard wedding appointments are between 11:00 and 14:00. Within this time, there are a set amount of appointments available. These appointments are free to book and Copenhagen City Hall is popular amongst couples so their free appointment times get booked up quickly.

If you’re flexible and book in good time it’s not a problem to be able to find a spot, but if you have a shorter time frame and you are less flexible, it can be difficult to find a free space.

Registrars can be hired to help you outside of these normal wedding hours so when all the standard wedding appointments are fully booked, you still have the chance of having your ceremony on that day.

Hear It From Our Customers

Natalia Gonzalez

We picked the team at Getting Married in Denmark after seeing the positive reviews online. It gave us confidence to buy the complete package with them, and it was definitely the right choice for what we needed. From the moment we first got in touch, they were responsive and guided us through the steps to get the AFL approval to marry in Denmark. After that, they helped us choose a town hall with the availability we were looking for and introduced us to our amazing photographer and local florist. Having their help with the logistics was wonderful.

Our experience of marrying in Denmark, and in Ærøskøbing, was an absolute delight and truly unforgettable. We wholeheartedly recommend Getting Married in Denmark to any couples wishing to have the intimate adventure of getting married abroad.

The idea of getting married overseas is both dreamy yet daunting. So when we decided that we wanted to get married in Denmark, we knew we wanted to engage a service to help us with the process, and found GMID.

We opted for the complete service and GMID was wonderful to work with from the very beginning. They were highly responsive, efficient, and helpful. Our journey from
the paperwork, to the booking of town hall and ceremony date, to even post-wedding administrative matters was very smooth-sailing. The team was professional and conscientious in all tasks such as preparing the relevant documents, that everything went well with no hiccups along the way.

Most importantly, the team did many check-ins on us throughout the process, even on matters outside of the wedding, such as ensuring we were settling in well when we arrived in Denmark.

We would definitely recommend GMID to anyone looking for a seamless and stress-free experience getting married in Denmark.

We had a wonderful experience with GMID, the communication was so smooth and they are very kind and helpful. We loved visiting the little island of Ærø for our wedding!

I can honestly recommend Getting Married in Denmark! We started the application process in December and by January had our appointment for April secured! The team was lovely and very helpful, with every step! From making sure our application was perfect to giving advice on what to see during our time in Copenhagen! Very grateful to everyone at Getting Married in Denmark for helping us have such a special day! 🤍
