2. The Experience of a Wedding in Stevns
Stevns Town Hall may be a modern building, but it’s just as intimate and special as some of the more traditional town halls in Denmark. In fact, we often hear the most positive feedback from couples who wed here.
One of the standout comments from couples is about how incredibly kind, warm, and welcoming the staff at Stevns is, which creates the perfect atmosphere for a wedding day.
The town hall itself is modern with a large, free car park right outside. Inside, there are two rooms available for weddings: a smaller, more intimate room and a larger conference room. The location of your ceremony will depend on what else is scheduled at the town hall. If there are other meetings or events, your ceremony will likely take place in the smaller room.
