Frederiksberg Town Hall

The Perfect Place to Get Married in Denmark

Frederiksberg Town Hall is a captivating architectural gem nestled in the heart of Frederiksberg, Denmark. Constructed in 1953, the building exudes timeless elegance, blending functional design with classic Danish aesthetics. Whether you’re a local couple or traveling from abroad, Frederiksberg Town Hall offers an enchanting setting for your wedding ceremony.

Frederiksberg Town Hall is just minutes away from the city centre and offers a calm, stylish and accessible wedding experience. If you want to get married in Copenhagen, Frederiksberg Town Hall can be a great alternative to Copenhagen City Hall.

Why Get Married at Frederiksberg Town Hall

Frederiksberg Town Hall is the best alternative if you want to get married in Copenhagen, but either don’t wish to or are able to book at Copenhagen City Hall. Just minutes from the city centre, it offers a central location, elegant surroundings, and a more relaxed atmosphere. This means you won’t have to leave the capital to get married in Denmark.

The building itself is known for its beautiful interior and classic Danish design, making it a great backdrop for both your ceremony and wedding photos. The process is just as easy and efficient as in other parts of Denmark, and the staff are used to helping international couples feel welcome and comfortable.

Ceremonies are offered in both Danish and English, although English ceremonies are only available on Saturdays. Danish ceremonies are held more frequently, so flexibility may vary depending on your language preference. Still, for many couples, Frederiksberg strikes the perfect balance between charm, convenience, and availability, especially if you’re hoping for a wedding in Copenhagen without the long wait.

What to do while after wedding at Frederiksberg Town Hall?

Getting married at Frederiksberg Town Hall means you’re already in one of the most charming parts of Copenhagen – and perfectly placed to enjoy everything the city has to offer. While your ceremony takes place in the peaceful surroundings of Frederiksberg, you’re still right in the capital, with easy access to all the cultural experiences, cosy cafés, world-class restaurants, and vibrant city life that Copenhagen is known for.

Frederiksberg Gardens is just around the corner and makes an ideal spot for wedding photos. With its romantic lakes, tree-lined paths, and views of Frederiksberg Palace, it’s one of the most picturesque parks in the city. After the ceremony, you can take a quiet stroll, pop a bottle of champagne, or simply enjoy a few peaceful moments together.

Later in the day, you might choose to celebrate with a meal at one of the area’s excellent restaurants – or head into central Copenhagen for a bigger celebration. Whether you want to keep things intimate or plan something more festive, being in Frederiksberg gives you the best of both worlds: calm surroundings for your ceremony and easy access to the energy and excitement of the city.

And if you’re visiting from abroad, your wedding day is also the perfect excuse to explore more of Denmark – from historic castles and coastal towns to Michelin-starred dining and modern Nordic design. A wedding in Frederiksberg is more than just a ceremony – it’s the start of a memorable Danish experience.

How is the wedding ceremony conducted?

Weddings at Frederiksberg Town Hall are known for being simple, intimate, and beautifully presented. The ceremony takes place inside the stylish and well-preserved town hall building, which offers a calm and elegant setting for your special moment. While it’s more low-key than some larger venues, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming .

The ceremony itself is short, typically lasting a few minutes. A registrar will greet you, guide you through the vows, and pronounce you married after a brief and formal reading. It’s a straightforward process, but one that still feels personal and special. You’re welcome to bring your own vows if you wish to add a personal touch.

After the ceremony, you and your witness will sign the marriage documents. Unlike at Copenhagen City Hall who can provide witnesses, you’ll have to provide them yourselves at Frederiksberg Town Hall. 

Ceremonies are available in Danish on several weekdays, while English-language ceremonies are offered on Saturdays only. This means there are slightly fewer options if you require an English ceremony.

With its beautiful interiors and efficient process, Frederiksberg Town Hall provides a memorable and elegant alternative to the busy Copenhagen City Hall – without leaving the city. After your ceremony, you can step outside and head straight to nearby Frederiksberg Gardens or into central Copenhagen to continue the celebration.
