For a fast wedding, consider Getting Married in Denmark, offering nearly 100 town halls for ceremonies. Compared to Gibraltar, Denmark provides quicker approval times. We can pre-book ceremonies in Denmark for faster approval of ceremony times. In Denmark, approval can take as little as 5 days from application, allowing for immediate ceremony booking.

In Denmark and Gibraltar, it's mandatory to have two witnesses at your wedding ceremony. These witnesses can be family or friends, or arranged with the town hall. In Denmark, witnesses are provided at no extra charge for weekday ceremonies in most town halls, while some may require you to bring witnesses for Saturday ceremonies. In Gibraltar, you always need to provide two witnesses. If you're travelling as just a couple, Denmark might be a better choice due to witness arrangements.

We recommend starting the process once you have a wedding date in mind. In Gibraltar, bookings can be made anytime, up to 1 year in advance. In Denmark, the permission to marry is valid for 4 months from approval, so it's essential to marry within that timeframe. We can initiate the process and apply 4 months before your desired date, increasing the chance of securing specific dates, such as Saturdays at Copenhagen City Hall.

After your marriage you will have 2 marriage certificates that are internationally recognised worldwide, you can have this Legalised with an Apostille if needed and then once you return to your place of residence or your place of birth, you can register it at the registry of births deaths and marriages office, or check with your Embassy if not residing in your home country.

The ceremonies are short, registry office ceremonies that are conducted by a registrar, they will last about 10 minutes. Usually there are some words spoken by the registrar maybe a poem, then the legal vows are exchanged (you can write your own vows too) and then the signing of the registrar. All locations have beautiful ceremony rooms where the wedding will take place. Couples are marrying for varying reasons, some couples will marry in jeans and t-shirts, some in traditional clothes and others in tuxedos and wedding dresses, it is completely up to you.
