In addition to experiencing the breathtaking Swiss landscapes with your beloved, you might consider to hold a civil marriage ceremony in Switzerland to formalize your union legally. Choose to Elope legally by signing your marriage certificate in Switzerland
Swiss law facilitates the process for international couples to obtain a legal civil marriage license that is recognized in their home country. Formal preparations can commence as early as six months prior to your desired wedding date. However, please note that the documents typically require a minimum of three months to be processed.
With our established connections at the local government civil office, we can assist in securing an available date, venue, and time for your civil marriage ceremony in Switzerland.
It’s important to note that no wedding planner can handle the paperwork on your behalf. Similar to applying for a passport, you must personally visit your nearest Swiss consulate to file the necessary documents.
Rest assured, we will provide you with the guidance and direction needed to obtain your legal civil marriage license, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free process.
