Getting married in Denmark
Denmark has become a magnet for couples worldwide looking to tie the knot. With its stunning landscapes, rich history, and famously hassle-free wedding process, Denmark offers an unparalleled charm for those planning a destination wedding. Here’s why so many people choose Denmark to celebrate their love story.
1. Simplified Wedding Process
One of the most significant reasons couples come to Denmark is its streamlined wedding procedures. Unlike many countries that require extensive paperwork, legal formalities, or long waiting periods, Denmark offers a much simpler process. With minimal bureaucracy, couples can marry quickly, making it particularly appealing to international or mixed-nationality couples facing challenges in their home countries.
2. Perfect for International Couples
Denmark’s inclusive marriage laws and lack of discriminatory barriers make it a heaven for international couples. Whether you’re a same-sex couple, a couple from different countries, or a pair with complicated visa statuses, Denmark welcomes everyone equally. The Danish government prioritises love and equality over unnecessary red tape, providing a stress-free alternative for couples facing restrictions elsewhere.
3. Breathtaking Wedding Venues
Beyond its ease, Denmark is a picturesque destination for weddings. From charming countryside settings and pristine beaches to romantic castles and vibrant cityscapes, the options are endless.
Some iconic venues include:
Copenhagen City Hall: A historic venue blending elegance with convenience.
Frederiksberg City Hall: Situated next to one of the most beautiful parks in Denmark, this art deco-style building offers an intimate and elegant setting for your big day.
Ærø Island: A fairy-tale destination known for its scenic coastlines and cozy vibe.
Stevns Klint: A UNESCO World Heritage site offering dramatic cliffs as a backdrop.
These locations not only set the perfect stage for exchanging vows but also create memories to last a lifetime.
4. A Blend of Romance and Adventure
Denmark offers more than just a wedding destination — it’s a romantic getaway. After saying “I do,” couples can explore Copenhagen’s charming canals, enjoy candlelit dinners at Michelin-starred restaurants, or stroll through iconic locations like Nyhavn. For nature lovers, Denmark’s serene forests and islands provide the perfect honeymoon escape. I always share my Copenhagen guide with my favourite bakeries, restaurants and most beautiful city sights with all the international couples that are booking my services.
5. Experienced Vendors and Services
Denmark’s reputation as a top wedding destination means it has a thriving community of experienced vendors. From photographers to wedding planners who specialise in international couples, you’ll find professionals ready to make your day as seamless as possible. Upon your request I’ll be glad to share with you my list of Make-up and hair artists, along with best florists in Copenhagen.
6. Getting an Apostille for Your Marriage Certificate in Copenhagen
If your wedding day is the only opportunity to get your apostille done, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' opening hours make it impossible to continue the photo shoot immediately after the ceremony, I’m here to help. As your wedding photographer, I’d be happy to accompany you to the Ministry to assist with the process. In this case, the time spent driving to and completing the apostille process will not be charged as extra, I understand the struggle and ready to make en exception in this situation.
Once the apostille is sorted, we can head to Christianshavn — a stunning, picturesque neighborhood known for its colorful houses, serene canals, and charming boats—to resume your photo shoot. It’s the perfect setting for capturing even more beautiful moments of your special day.
With me by your side, you can fully embrace the joy and excitement of the day, knowing I’ll be there to document every step of your journey, turning even the smallest details into timeless memories.
