Frederiksberg only holds ‘international’ weddings on Thursdays each week. There will be occasional exceptions to this rule, to accommodate public holidays and summer staff holidays.
Note, the town hall will only conduct 4 to 5 weddings on each Thursday, so be aware that availability will change quickly.
No, 2 witnesses will be provided by the marriage office free of charge, if you require them.
The Frederiksberg response time is officially around 5 days, but it can often be quicker than this.
You must present your documents to the Citizen Service Office located inside the Frederiksberg Town Hall one working day before your wedding.
The Look and Feel of Getting Married in Frederiksberg
Frederiksberg town hall is impressive. Building started pre 2nd world war but it was not completed until the 1950s. We’re sure you’ll agree, its beautiful interior design has stood the test of time.
The wedding room is incredibly classy with a very bright green as the colour theme throughout. The main feature of the wedding room however, is the stunning mural painted on the wall. It is something that the staff who work at the town hall are very proud of.

Things to Do in Frederiksberg?
Apart from your wedding ceremony in Frederiksberg’s town hall there are some lovely things to do in the town, so you can make it a little honeymoon trip! 🙂
1. Frederiksberg Gardens 📍
A beautiful palace built by King Frederik IV in 1703 on top of Frederiksberg Hill.
Built in the Baroque style and inspired by Italian architecture, the palace offers stunning views of the Frederiksberg Gardens.
It was used by the Royal Family as a summer residence until 1852 when the Royal Danish Officers Academy officially moved in.
The Palace now offers guided tours every last Saturday of the month, so if you’re in Frederiksberg on that day it’s definitely worth seeing.
2. Frederiksberg Palace 📍
Frederiksberg Palace was the former summer residence of the Royal Family, namely King Frederik IV and the permanent home of King Christian VI.
It’s a grand building and absolutely worth a visit. In fact, a lot of couples who get married at Frederiksberg and Copenhagen City Hall have pictures taken in the huge gardens.
3. The Cisterns📍
A truly unique underground space and exhibition venue.
Originally this massive space underneath Søndermarken park was a water reservoir filled with 16 million litres of drinking water.
Today the water’s gone and this mysterious space holds exciting exhibitions and events.
The Cisterns has a unique atmosphere and its impressive architecture resembles something between dark catacombs and a majestic cathedral.
If you’re in Frederiksberg for a few days make sure to check out its events schedule!
