If you’re planning to get married in Denmark, there’s a good chance you’ve come across the term “Express Wedding” or “Express Service” while comparing packages from various wedding agencies. These terms sound promising, but what do they actually involve? For many international couples, especially those navigating legal systems in multiple countries, time is a crucial factor. An express service can make a significant difference in ensuring everything runs smoothly and without delay.
In this article, we’ll explore what “Express Wedding” really means in the Danish context, what makes the process faster, and how the services offered by Wedding Planner Denmark can help you avoid the most common pitfalls. We’ll also take a closer look at two of their most popular packages: the Express Service and the Copenhagen Express Service.
Although Denmark is known for being one of the most efficient places in Europe to get married, the application process still involves submitting personal documents, communicating with public authorities, and coordinating with city halls or wedding venues. For couples unfamiliar with the Danish legal system, this can quickly become overwhelming. One small mistake in the paperwork or a missed detail in your documents can lead to delays, or even a rejected application.
This is where the idea of an “Express Wedding” becomes important. It’s not about bending the rules or skipping steps. Instead, it’s about avoiding mistakes and saving time by working with professionals who know exactly how the system works. By choosing an express service, you ensure that all the necessary documents are prepared correctly from the start. The application to the Danish Agency of Family Law (Familieretshuset) is submitted with precision, and all communication with public authorities is handled on your behalf.
Express weddings are perfect for couples who want to avoid unnecessary complications, especially when dealing with tight travel schedules, visa limitations, or long-distance planning.
An express wedding includes the same civil ceremony that is legally recognized across Europe and internationally. The difference lies in how the process is managed. With an express service, you are supported at every stage, from the moment you start preparing your documents until the day of your ceremony in Denmark. Your application is prioritized, your documents are reviewed by professionals, and your wedding date is booked as quickly as possible once approval is granted.
Most importantly, choosing an express package ensures that nothing is left to chance. You receive step-by-step guidance on what to submit, how to avoid common issues, and what to expect throughout the process. This kind of structured support significantly reduces waiting times and adds peace of mind, two things that can be invaluable when planning a wedding abroad.
For couples who want a smooth, fast, and professionally handled wedding process, Wedding Planner Denmark offers two express packages that are designed to make everything easier from start to finish. The Express Service (€1070) is a popular choice for couples who want a reliable and efficient path to marriage in Denmark. This package includes a customised documentation checklist, full guidance on preparing all required paperwork, and a fast-track application process with the Danish Agency of Family Law. All communication with the authorities is managed on your behalf, your ceremony date is coordinated, and you receive assistance on the day of your wedding. The price also covers two international marriage certificates, the €282 application fee charged by the Danish authorities, and 25% Danish VAT.
The Copenhagen Express Service (€1900) is a premium option for couples who want an even more exclusive and personalised experience. It includes everything from the standard express service, but adds a private registrar from Copenhagen City Hall who performs the ceremony at a location of your choice outside the city hall itself. This allows you to have a more intimate and tailored setting for your ceremony in the heart of the Danish capital. The package also includes a professional wedding photographer for one hour and an Apostille stamp on one of your marriage certificates, which is useful if your home country requires legalisation for international documents. With all fees and VAT included, the Copenhagen Express Service is the ideal solution for couples who want both speed and a uniquely memorable day.
If you value efficiency, clarity, and want to avoid stress during your wedding planning, an express wedding is often the best solution, especially when getting married abroad. Whether you’re navigating time constraints due to work or travel, or simply want to avoid unnecessary complications, these services are designed to give you peace of mind and save time.
For couples choosing Denmark as their wedding destination, an express service is more than just a shortcut. With the right support and local expertise, you can focus on what matters most, which is enjoying your wedding day and celebrating your love.
