Say yes in Helsingør. In the town of Kronborg.
Helsingør is one of the ten municipalities international couples named most often as their wedding place in 2024. You marry at the town hall on Stengade in the old town, or at home or outdoors if you prefer. I photograph your ceremony, the congratulations and then your couple shoot by the harbour and in front of Kronborg.
- Town hall in the old town, Stengade 59
- Ceremonies at home or outdoors too
- Your date stands once Citizen Service confirms it
Gråsten ♡What you need to know about Helsingør
If neither of you meets the municipality's requirements, meaning Danish or Nordic citizenship or a permanent right of residence, you apply for your certificate of marital status at Familieretshuset, the Danish Agency of Family Law. Your date is only booked once Citizen Service (Borgerservice) has confirmed it.

Ceremony days
The municipality does not list fixed wedding days. You name your preferred date in the marriage declaration, and Citizen Service confirms the date and time.
Witnesses
Two are required. For a ceremony at home or outdoors, give the names and addresses of both witnesses in the marriage declaration.
Costs
You pay for your application to Familieretshuset, DKK 2,100. The certificate of marital status is valid for four months.
