Ceremony & legal
Do we need permits to marry in Austria?
Legal requirements depend on your nationality and whether you want a civil, religious or symbolic ceremony. Most international couples marry legally at home and celebrate symbolically in Austria – no special permits required.
If you wish to marry legally in Austria, you need specific documents such as birth certificates and proof of eligibility – I guide you through every step.
As a certified theologian and celebrant, I lead your symbolic ceremony personally. Symbolic ceremonies
In a palace garden, on a mountain terrace or by a lake – your ceremony, your story.
