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 these additional ceremony services 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

Wir können die GmiD nur herzlichst empfehlen. Das Team war von Anfang bis zum Ende an unserer Seite. Fragen unsererseits wurden schnell, höflich und unkompliziert beantwortet und geregelt. Mit so einem schnellen Ergebnis hatten wir nicht gerechnet. Nach knapp 1,5 Monaten haben wir geheiratet. Wir danken dem Ganzen Team von GmiD für die positive Erfahrung und Erlebnis.
We had the most incredible experience with Getting Married In Denmark. From the very beginning, they were efficient, reliable, and unbelievably quick 🙂 The entire process was easy and seamless! They weren't just a service, they became family. Thanks to their help, my husband and I had a beautiful ceremony at Stevns, Denmark - without the usual stress! It far surpassed our expectations, and what a lovely small town. It made for stunning pictures, and for this we are grateful to the Getting Married In Denmark team; for all their help from the beginning right till the end! For the smooth ride, and for having our backs all the way through. Highly recommend!
We used GMID for the complete service (GMID files with AFL on your behalf). We really appreciated the the guidance of how to complete and the quality checks to ensure the application is approved with out any delays. A team takes care of the process who are super upbeat and professional and know what the requirements are and how to meet them. I would definitely highly recommend them, they help reduce time and stress and eliminate the risk of delays.
