Getting married abroad can seem expensive, especially when legal paperwork and international planning are involved. But in Denmark, it is absolutely possible to have a low-cost wedding if you choose the right setup. With the right approach, you can have a legal and recognized wedding without spending more than necessary.
Many couples don’t realise that they have flexible options when planning a wedding in Denmark. If you only need guidance and are happy to manage parts of the process yourself, there are cost-effective services that make it possible to marry in Denmark at a much lower price.
You must always consider travel costs as this isn’t part of any package that any wedding agency offer.
The essential cost every couple must pay is the official application fee to the Danish Agency of Family Law. This is currently 282 euros and is paid directly to the government. Outside of that, what you spend depends on the level of support you choose.
Some couples handle the entire process on their own. This can be a way to save money, but it also carries the risk of delays or application rejection if documents are incomplete or incorrect. That’s why many still prefer to work with a professional, and luckily, this doesn’t have to be expensive.
Some couples handle the entire process completely on their own. This can sound like the cheapest option, but it does come with risks. If any part of the application is incorrect or incomplete, it can lead to serious delays. In some cases, couples have had to wait several months before they could get married due to small but critical errors. This often ends up costing more time, more money and more frustration than expected. For that reason, many choose to get professional guidance to avoid this kind of setback.
If you want professional help at the lowest possible price, the I Do Service is the most affordable solution from Wedding Planner Denmark. This service costs just 250 euros and is ideal if you want assistance with the paperwork, but are comfortable managing the final steps yourself.
You receive a complete checklist of all required documents. You get one-on-one guidance on how to gather them correctly. You are supported through every step of filling out your application. And finally, all your documents are reviewed before submission to ensure everything is in order.
In this setup, you send in your application yourself and communicate with the town hall directly. The 282 euro application fee is not included in the price, as it is paid separately to the Agency of Family Law. Still, this is the cheapest way to get expert support and avoid common mistakes — while keeping total costs lower than with any full-service package, where most of these are included.
The Danish marriage process allows flexibility, which means you can choose a service that fits your situation. If you prefer a more hands-off experience where everything is taken care of for you, Wedding Planner Denmark also offers a Full Service package.
With the Full Service package, everything is handled. Your documents are reviewed and submitted. The team manages communication with the authorities. Your wedding date is coordinated. You receive two international marriage certificates. Support on your wedding day is included. The 282 euro application fee is covered. All taxes are included in the price.
It is a more complete experience designed for couples who prefer convenience and peace of mind.
Every couple has their own idea of what a wedding should look like. Some dream of a complete experience with a hotel stay, a professional photographer and personalised assistance throughout the day. For those couples, premium packages are available that combine the legal ceremony with a romantic mini-getaway in Denmark. These options are perfect for turning your wedding into a memorable trip, not just a legal formality.
Other couples are focused on keeping things simple and cost-effective. If your only goal is to get legally married in a quick and reliable way, there is no need to pay for extra services you don’t want. You can choose a more affordable package that covers only the essentials and still ensures that everything is done correctly and efficiently.
The most important thing is that you have the freedom to choose what suits you best. Whether you want a fully planned wedding experience or just the paperwork handled with care, there is a package that matches your expectations — and your budget.
