Say yes on Ærø. The wedding island of the archipelago.
After Copenhagen, no Danish municipality is chosen more often by couples from abroad than Ærø. The island has its own wedding team and more than 200 wedding days a year, and while most couples marry at the town hall in Ærøskøbing, many say yes outdoors. I photograph your ceremony and then your couple shoot in the lanes of Ærøskøbing, on the beach or by the cliffs.
- Over 200 wedding days a year
- The municipality's own wedding team
- Ferries from Als, Faaborg and Svendborg

Ærø Municipality has its own team for weddings, reachable at info@weddinginfo.dk and +45 63 52 50 00, weekdays from 9am to 3pm.
Reserving early
You can reserve your preferred date by email even before the certificate arrives. Include both your names, your contact details and the date.
