Getting Married In Amsterdam
Amsterdam is a singularly beautiful city bursting with romantic locations and grand reception rooms. So it’s no wonder that many people choose to marry there. There is a fair amount of paper work involved (see following section) but many say it is worth the trouble for the photo opportunities. Once you have performed the obligatory civil ceremony you are free to have a follow up ceremony in whichever religion, fashion or location you choose. Though the civil ceremony could be in just the location you’re looking for, one site from the government covers a wide variety of locations, from bagel shops to museums, all of which are able to host your wedding: http://www.loket.amsterdam.nl:80/loket/centralestad/product/55986.
You may have to lodge a request with your local municipality office for some locations, so call and check before you make concrete plans. For more tips on how to make your wedding day in Amsterdam everything you want it to be. Some residents do decide to have the civil ceremony in Amsterdam before returning to their home countries for a church or celebratory service. If you choose to do this make sure you request an international marriage certificate for a nominal fee; you may also need to have the document legalised or endorsed by the Dutch authorities if you want to use it in an official capacity.
