Getting Married in Denmark FAQ

Denmark is popular for couples seeking a quick, simple, and stress-free wedding due to its straightforward marriage laws and readily available professional services that guide couples through the process. These services, like Easy Weddings Denmark, handle everything from the initial paperwork to the ceremony details making it a smoother experience for international couples.

The process typically involves three main steps: first, preparing and submitting all required documentation; second, planning and scheduling the ceremony at a Danish town hall; and finally, traveling to Denmark, presenting the original documentation, and getting married in a simple ceremony with the issuance of an internationally recognized marriage certificate.

The Agency of Family Law (AFL) is the Danish authority that reviews and approves marriage applications. Easy Weddings Denmark assists couples with submitting their applications to the AFL, and some packages include direct communication with the AFL to ensure that the process runs smoothly.

While the specific documents can vary, generally you’ll need valid IDs and proof of marital status. These documents are a focus of Easy Weddings Denmark’s services, and they provide couples with the specific documentation required.

The “Essential” package includes complete documentation guidance, consultant advice, step-by-step instructions, pre and post approval assistance, AFL application instructions, booking of the wedding date and ceremony, recommendations for vendors, and accommodation and travel advice. However, the AFL application fee is not included in this package.

The “Complete” package includes everything in “Essential” plus application processing with the AFL and the AFL application fee, as well as international marriage certificates. The “Priority” package adds express application processing and private registrars and witnesses. The “Premium” package includes everything in the “Complete” package but adds a professional photographer and hair and make-up artist for the ceremony.

Easy Weddings Denmark handles the complexities of the process, from paperwork to ceremony details, taking the stress out of the experience. We aim to allow couples to focus solely on the joy of their wedding day, providing peace of mind and ensuring the process is seamless and creating lasting memories.
