The country couples are flocking to for a fast and easy wedding
Why Denmark is becoming the ‘Las Vegas of Europe’
- Copenhagen has emerged as a highly sought-after wedding destination for international couples, attributed to its liberal marriage laws and efficient administrative procedures.
- Many couples, including a Polish-Colombian pair, opt for Denmark to bypass the intricate bureaucratic obstacles encountered in their native countries.
- Last year, Copenhagen City Hall hosted around 8,000 weddings, with 5,400 of these involving non-Danish residents, representing nearly double the figure from five years prior.
- This significant increase in demand has resulted in a scarcity of available wedding slots, posing difficulties for Copenhagen residents wishing to marry in their own city.
- Consequently, Copenhagen authorities intend to allocate 40 per cent of City Hall wedding slots to local residents from late October, with additional measures under consideration.
