Record Foreign Weddings Cause Marriage Booking Delays in Denmark

If you plan to get married in Denmark, prepare for longer waiting times. Record wedding bookings are causing municipal delays across the country.

International couples favor Denmark for its simple civil marriage system. This high demand is creating backlogs in local booking systems.

In Copenhagen alone, officials expect around 800 weddings in August. Up to 75 percent of these couples come from abroad.

This delay affects foreign residents and students living in Denmark and Sweden. CPH Post reported these record numbers and delays across Danish municipalities.
