A typical civil wedding ceremony in Denmark is short, intimate, and legally binding. The ceremony usually lasts around 10 minutes and takes place in an official ceremony room.
The registrar will say a few welcoming words – sometimes including a short reading or poem – followed by the legal vows, which you’re welcome to personalize with your own. After the exchange of vows, you’ll sign the marriage license, and your union will be officially recognized. Afterwards, you’re officially married.
All venues provide a simple yet beautiful setting, perfect for celebrating your love in a calm and respectful atmosphere.
