Chapter IV · The ceremony

How to marry in Brussels.

01

Legal ceremony

You can marry in Belgium only if, on the wedding day, at least one of you is Belgian or has lived in Belgium habitually for more than three months, so couples visiting from abroad cannot marry there legally. The civil registrar of the municipality where one of you lives performs the marriage, after you file a declaration of marriage with that municipality. Foreign documents may need an apostille and a sworn translation into French or Dutch. Rules change, so confirm the current requirements with the local registry and your own embassy before you book.

02

Symbolic ceremony

Couples who do not meet the residence rule marry legally at home and can hold a symbolic ceremony in Belgium, which has no legal effect. At a legal ceremony in Brussels, held at the City Hall on the Grand-Place 14 days to six months after the declaration is registered, you must bring a sworn interpreter if you do not understand French or Dutch well enough.

03

The weekend

Each venue page lists its rooms, minimum stay and music curfew where the venue publishes them.
