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.

Hear It From Our Customers

From the very first email explaining how the process would work to the final message confirming that our certificates had been sent, the Getting Married in Denmark team exceeded all expectations! They were always available to help, responded incredibly quickly, and made sure all our questions were fully addressed. In less than two weeks, we had selected the location and confirmed the date for the ceremony.

The team guided us through every step, ensuring that nothing was overlooked — even checking in a few days before the ceremony to see if there was anything more they could do to help. By then, everything was already so clear that we had no further questions. They also helped us find a photographer and offered several other useful services.

We had a wonderful time in Ærø, and everything worked out perfectly!💖

I would 1000% recommend Getting Married in Denmark 💖

Our experience planning the wedding with GMID was truly amazing! The team was incredibly supportive and patient, always taking the time to answer all our questions. Erma was especially wonderful—so warm and made everything feel effortless for us. We were beyond pleased with the setup and the thoughtful guidance throughout. The wedding day went perfectly, and I’d wholeheartedly recommend their services!

We had the best of experiences with Getting Married in Denmark! They were very professional, organized, always available, compassionate and very nice. Everything went very smoothly and we could finally make our wish come true. Happily married already for one week :-). I can fully recommend the agency and their lovely staff.

As a Sri Lankan national trying to get married with my German girlfriend, I had to face the so outdated + stupid German bureaucracy at its highest levels. But the GMiD team helped me a lot to get married easily in Denmark & I got the approval within 2 amazing days. Highly recommended service & super nice & friendly people/team. worth every penny I paid 🙂
