Getting Married in one of Denmarks' Town Halls - Which one is best for you?

Marrying in Denmark is straightforward due to the minimal documents required for marrying and the flexibility of the process. However, Denmark is a large country, making it challenging to reach your desired town hall. Once you have your 'Permission to marry' from the Danish Authorities, you can choose from various options, such as a quick ceremony or a grand event at Copenhagen City Hall. Each town hall has its own policies regarding waiting times for appointments and same-day ceremonies. 


Here at Marry Abroad Simply, we facilitate the entire process by collaborating with the Danish Agency of Family Law and every Town Hall in Denmark, ensuring a seamless experience no matter when or where you plan to get married.
