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). Please check the validity of your documents to ensure they are still valid on 14 February. Apply in good time, as the process can take a while.
-
Can we choose our officiant?
No, this is not possible.
-
Can our children enter Skansen with us?
Children accompanying you up to and including 15 years of age have free admission and may enter with you through the Wedding Entrance.
If they are older than that, they need to enter through one of our regular entrances and buy a standard one-day ticket (or show a valid Skansen annual pass).
-
We have many guests. Will everyone be able to see and hear the ceremony?
We offer locations suitable for both small and large parties. Under each bookable wedding location listed above, you can see its capacity.
-
What happens if we are late for our booked time?
If you realise you are going to be late, please call Skansen’s on-call number: +46 (0)8-442 80 90.
-
Can we bring our own witnesses?
Of course. Just inform the officiant who your witnesses are when you arrive at your booked location.
-
Can we come without witnesses?
Yes, absolutely. Just indicate this when you make your booking and Skansen staff will act as witnesses.
-
Is there somewhere we can change into our wedding clothes?
Yes. Brage Hall has changing rooms with mirrors.
-
Are there chairs available for guests who cannot stand during the ceremony?
There will be at least two seats available in each venue. Please note that guests may only sit on designated furniture and in designated areas.
No private chairs may be brought into Skansen’s historic interiors.
-
Can the ceremony and the marriage certificate be in another language?
Ceremonies can be held in Swedish or English. You choose the language when you make your booking.
The marriage certificate you receive can also be issued in Swedish or English.
-
How and when is the marriage registered, and is the marriage certificate a legal document?
Once the ceremony is completed, the officiant fills in the form and sends it to Skatteverket, which then registers the marriage in the population register.
When the marriage has been registered, you can order a personbevis (personal registration certificate) from Skatteverket’s website. This is the legal document that proves you are married. It is sent to your registered address and can also be ordered in English.
The decorative marriage certificate you receive in your hand after the ceremony is not a legal document, but it is a lovely keepsake from your special day.
-
We want to renew our vows. Do we need to bring anything?
You are warmly welcome to renew your vows during Skansen’s Winter Wedding!
You need to book a time and a location, but you do not need to bring any special documents.
-
We need to cancel. Do we get our money back?
No. Bookings are non-refundable.
-
What applies if we are not Swedish citizens?
Everyone is welcome to get married at Skansen! You will, however, need a Swedish hindersprövning from Skatteverket.
Please note that a foreign Certificate of No Impediment is not valid. Skatteverket may sometimes need additional documents from the country where you are registered as a resident – please contact Skatteverket for more information.
Apply for your Certificate of No Impediment well in advance, as the process may take extra time if you are not a Swedish citizen. More information about the Certificate of No Impediment is available on Skatteverket’s website.
-
Do we need to bring rings?
You are very welcome to bring rings, but it is not a requirement.
-
Can we include personal elements in the ceremony, such as a song or a reading?
Unfortunately, there is no time for personal additions to the ceremony, except if you have your own vows you would like to exchange. If so, please confirm this with the officiant before the ceremony begins.
The exception is if you book Bredablick Tower as your venue. Since you have more time there, you may choose to play music or similar.
If you would like a longer ceremony with more possibilities to shape the content, you are welcome to book a wedding at Skansen on other days of the year.
