Foreign couples can marry in Switzerland, but only a civil ceremony before a civil registrar is legal, after a compulsory preparatory procedure filed with the registry office or, from abroad, a Swiss embassy. Non-Swiss partners must prove lawful stay in Switzerland, documents must be originals under six months old, and the licence lasts three months. Rules change, so confirm the current requirements with the local registry and your own embassy before you book.
Swiss law forbids a religious ceremony before the civil one, so church or celebrant ceremonies follow the registry wedding. Couples who marry legally at home can hold a symbolic ceremony here, which has no legal effect.
Of the 6 venues listed here, 5 publish rooms for guests on site.
At many Swiss weddings, colleagues, teammates or club members form a Spalier, a guard of honour the couple walks through as they leave the ceremony.
