What is a Ceremony Upgrade Service?

Here you have the opportunity to upgrade from a ‘standard’ ceremony at Copenhagen City Hall.

If you’re hoping to get married sooner than the ‘standard’ availability at this town hall will allow, then this additional ceremony service will work perfectly for you.

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.

Абсолютно профессиональная работа агентства Getting Married in Denmark. Единственное, что сначала показалось немного странным, — за весь процесс у нас не было ни одного телефонного созвона или личного контакта. Также пришлось несколько раз отправлять сканы паспортов, предоставлять скриншоты и подтверждения того, что мы действительно были вместе все 5 лет. Но в итоге всё прошло гораздо проще, чем мы ожидали. а результат -именно таким, на который мы рассчитывали. Спасибо большое!
