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.

The experience that Anna and I had with Getting Married in Denmark was truly life changing! We would not be married today without the help of Hilja, Camila, Erma, Miya, Eva, Kamila, and Diana! (Apologies to anyone that I missed, we are grateful to you all!) From the very beginning, the team was incredibly courteous, professional, and most importantly, helpful. This is what we had been searching for after months of researching country X, Y, and Z’s requirements for marriage and determining that they all varied and that no one was going to help us. I get emotional thinking about everything Hilja and Erma and the team did for Anna and me. I really got the sense that our marriage was as important to them as it was to us. I honestly do not know what we would have done without them. We recommend their service very, very highly. To the entire team at Getting Married in Denmark, thank you for being part of our journey and making our wedding day so special! --John and Anna

My partner and I (from Norway and Myanmar, living in Spain) were facing bureaucratic stress trying to get married locally. After researching online, we found “Getting Married in Denmark” webpage and decided to get married in Denmark instead. We chose their complete package and apostille service because we had already experienced so much stress and paperwork before, and “Getting Married in Denmark” team did not disappoint us at all. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. They helped us get the exact wedding date we wanted, and the entire process was easy and well organized. We got married in Aalborg, a city neither of us had visited before, and we absolutely loved it. The apostille service was also very fast, and communication with the team was always quick and helpful. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and highly recommend “Getting Married in Denmark”.

We had a really smooth experience with all the document submission and checks. Penny was really friendly and helpful and helped us throughout the entire process. The marriage was wonderfully conducted at the Kolding Townhall and I will always highly recommend them to anyone who wants to get married in Denmark. Perfect for international residents in the EU.

GMID made our experience so wonderful and seamless, we managed to get the date and location that we wanted for our civil ceremony in Copenhagen and they made sure we had all of our documents and everything we needed to be sure that our application would be approved. They also made it clear what steps we would need to do on the day and it was all very easy and straightforward so we were able to just enjoy ourselves and the special day!
