The Mayday Service

Questions? Don't hesitate to ask, it's what we are here for!

We have 2 Mayday Services available depending on your situation and what you need help with. 

The Light Mayday Service is for those couples who have already received their approval but would like to move their wedding to a different town hall than the one stated on the approval. 

The Full Mayday Service is for those couples who have applied to get married in Denmark but are now stuck in the AFL’s system, are yet to receive an approval and need help with what to do next.

With both of these services we will take over as your POA (Power of Attorney), liaise with the AFL on your behalf and you will have the full support of our Wedding Day Team once your wedding date is booked. Meaning peace of mind moving forwards, whatever your situation. 

You can read more in-depth information about exactly what each service includes below.

From legal requirements to venue selection, and paperwork assistance to ceremony planning, we provide comprehensive support for a seamless and memorable experience. Explore our services and let us help make your dream a reality.

LIGHT MAYDAY SERVICE

€190

This service is for those couples who have already submitted their application to the AFL, have received an approval, but no longer want to get married at the town hall they specified on the application and would like to choose a different town hall. 

This may be for logistical reasons, the town hall does not have the date you want or, you simply decided you want to get married somewhere else. 

However, you are not sure how to change from the town hall you originally selected and need help. Don’t worry, we will do this for you!

  • We will inform you of the best available alternative town hall options based on your specific needs, their current availability, location etc
  • You sign the POA so that we can take over the handling of your file transfer with the AFL
  • We will liaise with the AFL on your behalf to initiate the file transfer process to the new town hall of your choice
  • The AFL will inform us once your file has been transferred to the newly selected town hall

  • We contact the town hall of your choice and check for the up to date availability*
  • We book the ceremony at your selected town hall
  • We keep updated with the town hall in case any changes might occur

*Please note availability at the town halls changes very quickly, especially during the busier seasons

APOSTILLE SERVICE (Add-On)

+€250

This is a service we provide after your wedding in Denmark.

There is no time frame on when you can take our Apostille Service; it can be taken immediately after your wedding or years after.

It is for those couples who will be using their wedding with their respective governments after their wedding, e.g. to register the marriage or to apply for a spousal visa, and will need that extra layer of ‘legalisation’ on their marriage certificate.

We do not have to have helped you with your wedding in Denmark for you to take this service.

  • You send your marriage certificate/s to our Apostille team (we will give you information on how to do this)
  • Once we receive your certificate/s we will then hand deliver them to the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs
  • The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will check the information on your certificates after which they will affix the Apostille ‘stamp’ onto the back of your certificate/s
  • We will then return your certificate/s back to you at an address of your choice* via a tracked courier service

 

*The Apostille Service fee only covers the return to one address. An extra fee is incurred to cover the courier costs back to 2 separate addresses.

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!

Getting Married in Denmark (GMID) helped us along the process. It was nice to be able to talk to real people, be informed on what was requested, the next steps and timeline, be able to choose from different city halls and get clear information on what to do before the wedding (procedural aspect). Additionally, they kindly and enthusiastically answered our questions and recommended some providers (hosting, restaurants and so on). We definitely recommed it.
My husband and I are from Ireland and Canada but living in the UK. Getting everything sorted in the UK was proving to be quite difficult. We were looking into a few different options when we came across GMID. The GMID team are phenomenal. Everyone that we worked with was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The response times were quick yet the emails showed a lot of detail and care. In a short period of time, they connected us with an amazing photographer as well. After receiving a very detailed email with all the available locations from the GMID team, we chose Ærøskøbing as our wedding destination. It couldn't have been more beautiful- we felt like we were in a movie set, surrounded by love. Thank you so much to the wonderful GMID team!
