Denmark has a long and proud history of equality and was the first country in the world to legalise same-sex unions.
Today, it continues to be one of the easiest and most welcoming places for LGBTQ+ couples from around the globe to get married.
Whether you’re both EU citizens, or from different countries, you can plan your Danish LGBTQ+ wedding with confidence and joy.
Denmark’s marriage laws are fully equal – and this means for all couples! No matter your gender, nationality, same sex or not – the same marriage laws apply to all.
Town halls across Denmark welcome LGBTQ+ weddings with warmth, respect, and professionalism.
Getting married as an LGBTQ+ couple in Denmark is no different than it is for any other couple.
The same documents, same application process, and same approval times apply. With all couples, we can help you ensure your paperwork meets the correct specification, is complete and ready to be processed by the AFL.
Many LGBTQ+ couples choose Denmark for its simplicity and inclusion. Read how some of the LGBTQ+ couples we helped to get married in Denmark, how their day went, and what made their experience so special.
Some town halls have a special reputation for inclusivity. Copenhagen City Hall, for example, was the location for the first legal same sex wedding, in 2012, which makes it particularly special for LGBTQ+ couples. But from Copenhagen all the way down to the town halls on the border with Germany, every town hall welcomes LGBTQ+ couples equally!
Quite simply: YES!
No. Your privacy and safety is of the utmost importance. Your wedding will be entered into the marriage register but the Danish authorities won’t share this information with any other governments.
Yes, it’s a very popular time for LGBTQ+ couples to get married, in fact – so if you want to get married during this time, we recommend you start prepping your file in good time!
