Getting Married Abroad Without the Stress

Planning a wedding abroad can feel overwhelming. Between residency rules, document translations, and ever-changing legal requirements, it’s no surprise many couples give up or pay more than they need to. But it certainly does not have to be that way.

There are a handful of destinations where the process is fast, straightforward, and legally recognised internationally. At Marry Abroad Simply, we’ve supported couples from all over the world to marry abroad without the usual drama.

Here are three of the easiest places to marry legally in Europe:

Denmark

Denmark is one of the most efficient countries in the world for international weddings. There are no residency requirements, the process is quick, and marriage certificates are issued in multiple languages. Ideal for EU and non-EU couples alike.

Couples can often marry within two weeks of submitting the correct documents, and approval is typically received within 5 working days. You don’t need to be in Denmark during the approval process, and once approved, you simply travel there for the ceremony. Ceremonies can take place at town halls or in scenic venues, and many locations offer English-speaking staff and official witnesses.

Georgia

If you’re looking for fast approval, low costs, and minimal paperwork, Georgia is hard to beat. Couples can often marry within days of arriving, and the certificate is legally recognised across Europe and beyond. It’s also an emerging destination for beautiful, budget-friendly ceremonies.

Unlike other destinations, Georgia does not require couples to submit translated or legalised documents. You can often get married with just a passport and arrival stamp. Civil ceremonies are conducted quickly, and official documents are issued the following day. With a wide range of affordable venues and almost no red tape, Georgia is particularly well suited to couples in a hurry or with limited budgets.

Gibraltar

This British Overseas Territory offers an English-speaking legal system and simple documentation requirements. It’s popular with UK nationals and those looking for a quick, formal ceremony without needing to travel far.

Gibraltar requires a short period of stay (typically one night), but the process is extremely efficient. You can book your ceremony in advance and submit your documents before arriving. It’s especially convenient for British and Commonwealth citizens, and all documentation is issued in English, avoiding the need for translations. Venues range from the famous Registry Office to historic gardens and sea-view locations.

 

Avoiding Pitfalls

Many couples try to arrange their wedding alone, only to be tripped up by missing documents, booking problems, or long waits. Using a specialist agency means:

• You’re advised on exactly what you need (nothing more, nothing less)
• You get help booking a venue, securing witnesses, and avoiding delays
• You save time, stress, and often money too

With the right guidance, marrying abroad is not just possible – it can be the easiest part of your wedding journey. At Marry Abroad Simply, we help couples from all backgrounds navigate the legal process, secure their ideal date, and enjoy a wedding that’s memorable for all the right reasons.
