The Copenhagen Wedding

This service is for you if you want to reserve your wedding date now at a private location outside the town hall in the city of Copenhagen. Available on Thursdays.

“Stalden” is a small barn located in Frederiksberg, a suburb of Copenhagen that is less than 10 minutes by car from the very centre of Copenhagen. As such, it is very conveniently located for those who do not want to travel far to their wedding location, once they have arrived in Denmark. 

This service ensures you can focus on preparing your application, knowing that your wedding date and location in Copenhagen is already secured. 

Our team submits over 200 applications a month, and we know all the intricacies and requirements of the AFL. Getting the application ready takes a lot of time and a lot of work, and we are here to  help guide you through this difficult part of the process. 

This does mean that you also need to be committed to working with our Documents Team in order to move quickly.

You must be prepared to ensure your documents meet the Danish Authorities’ requirements. 

To achieve this, it is vital to follow the instructions on how to provide your documents to us. These instructions are sent to you by our Documents’ Team.

The team will ask you for multiple versions of your documents, so you will need to be willing to dedicate time to this.

We secure your wedding date in Copenhagen

• You pay the initial deposit of €200 to secure the date and location.
• Upon receipt of your deposit, we will then contact the Copenhagen city hall marriage office to reserve the registrar for your wedding. They will confirm the exact time upon booking.
  If, in the unlikely event, the city hall does not have a registrar available on your desired date, then you can either choose an alternative date, or receive a full refund on the deposit you have already paid should you not wish to continue.*
  There is no refund if you choose to cancel your booking within 4 weeks of your ceremony booking.
• Once a registrar is confirmed by the city hall, you pay the remaining balance of €2340 to begin working immediately with our documents team on your application.

*The date you choose must be at least 8 weeks from the date you pay the deposit. This is due to the City Hall only allowing us to pre-reserve a date that is more than 6 weeks ahead and to allow plenty of time to get your documents and file ready and for the AFL submission and processing time. 

Please note that if your approval is not received exactly 4 weeks or more before the wedding date, the Copenhagen City Hall will cancel the pre-reservation without prior notice. No exceptions can be made by them regarding this.
