Closed for further bookings in September and October 2026
The possibility of booking a registrar is popular, and September and October are fully booked. Currently, you can request to book a registrar for a wedding taking place in November 2026 at the earliest.
In The Municipality of Copenhagen, a registrar can conduct your wedding ceremony at a location and time of your choosing.
This could be in your garden, your home, a park, a boat, a restaurant or the place where you met for the first time. The location must be within the limits of the Municipality of Copenhagen and cannot be Copenhagen City Hall or the City Hall Garden.
As part of the ceremony, the registrar will deliver a personal speech based on your own contributions and input.
You are responsible for arranging two witnesses who must be present during the ceremony.
