Getting married in Europe

Same-sex couples can marry in more than 20 European countries, from Ireland, Iceland and the Netherlands to Spain, Portugal, Greece and Liechtenstein, which joined in 2025. But “legal” and “easy for visitors” aren’t the same thing, so it pays to choose your country with the paperwork in mind.

Where visitors can marry

Denmark is the classic choice for couples coming from abroad. Same-sex marriage is legal, there’s no residency requirement, and you apply through the Danish Agency of Family Law, then marry with two witnesses. Our couples have said yes at a Copenhagen city elopement, and Iceland’s dramatic landscapes have hosted some of our favorite queer celebrations.

Italy and civil unions

Italy offers civil unions (unione civile) to same-sex couples, not marriage. Foreign couples need a certificate of no impediment, translated into Italian, and every town hall runs things a little differently. Many couples marry legally at home and hold a symbolic ceremony on the Amalfi Coast or in Tuscany instead.

The paperwork

Most countries ask for a certificate of no impediment from home, often translated and apostilled. Give yourselves months, not weeks, and lean on a local planner who has done it before. Traveling in 2026? Our guide to WorldPride Amsterdam is worth a read too.

Questions couples ask

Which European countries have marriage equality?

Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK.

Can we legally get married in Italy?

Same-sex couples can form a civil union in Italy, not a marriage. Foreign couples need a certificate of no impediment translated into Italian, and requirements vary by town hall.

Which European country is easiest for visitors to marry in?

Denmark is a long-time favorite. There’s no residency requirement, and you apply through the Danish Agency of Family Law before marrying with two witnesses.

Will our European marriage be recognized at home?

A marriage that’s legal where it took place is usually recognized in countries with marriage equality, but rules vary. Check with your home country before you book.

Can we have a symbolic ceremony instead?

Absolutely. Plenty of couples sign the legal papers at home, then celebrate anywhere in Europe without the paperwork.

Legal details last checked October 2026. Requirements change, so always confirm with the local authority and your home country.
