Getting Married in Denmark

The team at Getting Married in Denmark (GMiD) handles the process end to end: they help you with documents, government applications, and booking your ceremony at a town hall anywhere in the country. Copenhagen City Hall is where most couples end up: it's a beautiful building, the ceremony room lives up to it, and the staff are used to working with people from all over the world. But Denmark has town halls well beyond Copenhagen, and GMiD works with all of them.

Denmark is also one of the most welcoming countries in the world for LGBTQ+ couples. It was the first nation to legally recognise same-sex unions back in 1989, and one of the few countries in the world recognising full marriage equality for all queer couples now. All people marry on equal terms here.

After the ceremony, you leave with an internationally recognised marriage certificate issued in five languages. If you need a photographer, flowers, or a restaurant suggestion, GMiD has a vetted network of local vendors who know how this day usually goes and can take good care of you.

Copenhagen is easy to reach from most of Europe, walkable, and compact enough to feel personal rather than overwhelming. And if you venture further into Denmark, you'll find a country that has a way of slowing you down in the best sense. Couples arrive focused on logistics, and they tend to leave already planning a return trip.
