FAQ
-
What should we bring?
You need to bring valid photo identification and a valid, approved Certificate of No Impediment (hindersprövning). This consists of two documents: the Certificate of No Impediment (hindersprövningsintyg) and the Marriage Certificate (vigselintyg).
For a church wedding, you will also need a wedding form (vigselblankett) from one of the partners’ home parishes. The parish will complete the form with your names and affiliation.
You apply for the Certificate of No Impediment through the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket). Once approved, the certificates are valid for four months. Please check the validity of your documents to ensure they are still valid on June 14. Apply in good time, as the process can take a while.
-
Can we book a time for our wedding?
Yes! In addition to the drop-in weddings, a limited number of time slots are available for pre-booking. Choose a time and location that suits you to better plan the rest of your wedding day. Availability is limited – first come, first served!
The wait time for drop-in ceremonies depends on how many couples arrive. While waiting, there is plenty to do at Skansen, including a champagne bar, live music, and a stunning view to enjoy near the drop-in area.
-
Can we choose our officiant?
No. The officiation is performed by the next available officiant.
-
We are bringing our children. Can they enter with us?
Children up to the age of 15 can enter with you through the Wedding Entrance and will pay the regular entrance fee.
-
We have a large group of guests. Will they be able to see and hear the ceremony?
We have wedding locations suitable for both small and large groups. If your group consists of more than 20 people and you are having a drop-in wedding, you must register at the information booth upon arrival at the wedding area (Oscarsterrassen).
Most ceremonies take place outdoors and without sound amplification, so larger groups may find it slightly harder to see and hear.
A larger group may also experience slightly longer wait times for a drop-in wedding.
-
Do we need to bring identification?
Yes, you do.
-
What happens if we miss our drop-in wedding slot?
When you arrive at Skansen, you will receive a ticket number at the entrance. Numbers are called in order at the information booth on Oscarsterrassen. If you miss your number, it will be called again in the next time slot, and again in the following one.
All couples who arrive at Skansen before 15.00 will be wed!
If you have questions about a missed slot, turn to the information booth.
-
Can we bring our own witnesses?
Yes. Just make sure to inform the officiant on-site before the ceremony.
-
Can we come without witnesses?
Yes, of course. If you are having a drop-in wedding, just inform the staff att the information booth that you need assistance with witnesses.
If you have pre-booked a time and location, you must indicate your need for witnesses when making the booking.
-
Can we change into wedding attire at Skansen?
Yes, there is a designated changing tent with mirrors near Oscarsterrassen.
-
Are there chairs available for those who cannot stand during the ceremony?
Each wedding location has two folding chairs available for use during the ceremony. There are also benches on Oscarsterrassen and throughout Skansen. You are welcome to bring your own chair if needed.
-
Can the ceremony or marriage certificate be provided in another language than Swedish?
Yes, the marriage certificate is available in English and Finnish. Ceremonies can be conducted in Swedish or English.
-
How and when is the marriage registered? Is the marriage certificate a legal document?
After the ceremony, the officiant will complete the necessary paperwork and send it to the Swedish Tax Agency, which registers the marriage in the national records.
During peak wedding season, registration may take several weeks. Once registered, you can order an official personal certificate (personbevis) from the Swedish Tax Agency’s website. This is the legal document proving your marriage. The certificate will be sent to your registered address and can also be issued in English.
The marriage certificate you receive on the wedding day is not a legal document but a beautiful keepsake from your special day.
-
We want to renew our vows. Do we need to bring anything?
No. When you arrive at the Wedding Entrance, simply inform the staff that you wish to renew your vows.
-
We have pre-booked a time and location but need to cancel. Will we get a refund?
No, cancellations are non-refundable.
-
What if we are not Swedish citizens?
Everyone is welcome to get married at Skansen! However, you must bring a valid Swedish Certificate of No Impediment (hindersprövning) from the Swedish Tax Agency.
Please note that foreign certificates of no impediment are not valid in Sweden. In some cases, the Swedish Tax Agency may require additional documents from your country of residence. Contact the Swedish Tax Agency for more information.
Make sure to apply for your Certificate of No Impediment well in advance, as the process may take extra time for non-Swedish citizens.
More information about the application process can be found on the Swedish Tax Agency’s website.
-
Do we need to bring wedding rings?
You are welcome to, but it is not required.
-
Can we add personal elements to our ceremony, such as a song or poem?
Unfortunately, during our drop-in wedding day, there is no time for personal additions to the ceremony. The ceremonies last about 10 minutes and follow a set schedule throughout the day.
However, you are welcome to celebrate, sing, or recite poems in the many beautiful locations around Skansen after your ceremony!
The exception is if you book the Bredablick Tower for your wedding. This booking includes 60 minutes, allowing you to personalize your ceremony as you wish.
If you would like a longer ceremony with more flexibility, you can also book a wedding at Skansen on other days of the year.
-
Can we bring our own picnic?
Absolutely!
