Agerup Farm & Manor House is a manor barn wedding estate in Denmark: a historic estate barn from 1858–1860 for 40–120 guests, with the manor house (23 beds) included in every booking. Up to 32 overnight guests. 1.5 hours from Copenhagen, 2 hours from Hamburg. Not a hotel. Not a package. A private family home, opened for the right people.

Getting married in Denmark — for expats and international couples

If you live in Denmark: You already know what makes this country different — the space, the unhurried quality, the honest relationship between people and places. Agerup Farm & Manor House is that, in venue form. On the island of Lolland, 1.5 hours south of Copenhagen. Far enough to feel like an escape. Close enough that your guests don't need to fly.

Your international friends and family coming from the UK, Ireland, the US, or elsewhere arrive in Copenhagen and take a train or drive south. They land somewhere that looks and feels nothing like a wedding venue — a working estate with a real family behind it, a barn that has stood since 1858, and a manor house where everyone sleeps together under one roof. That is not a normal wedding experience. It is a better one.

If you're coming from abroad: Denmark is not a typical destination wedding country, which is exactly the point. There are no crowds of other wedding parties, no well-worn wedding trail. What there is: genuine Nordic countryside, an estate with 225 years of family history, and a product that simply does not exist in the UK, the US, or Australia — a historic barn on a working estate where both families stay in the private manor house together.

What makes this a manor barn wedding

Most barn weddings take place in converted agricultural buildings — beautiful spaces, often without accommodation on site, and without any particular connection to a living place or family. Most estate weddings happen at institutional properties — grand hotels with professional service and closed hotel rooms.

Agerup Farm & Manor House sits in a different category. The barn is the primary event space: a historic manor barn built as part of the estate in 1858–1860, with 40–120 guests for ceremony and dinner. The manor house — a private family home, 23 beds — is included in every booking, without extra charge. Both families stay together in the house for the full weekend.

The Reventlow family has been connected to this estate since 1799. Frederik's grandparents acquired it from a family relative in 1954. Frederik grew up here, lives here, and is personally present for every wedding weekend. He gives all tours to prospective couples before they book.

The full estate — what's included

Every wedding booking includes:

The barn — historic estate barn, ceremony and dinner for 40–120 guests, built 1858–1860

The manor house (23 beds) — private family home, included in every booking; both families share the house for the full weekend

The estate grounds — courtyard, garden, surroundings; part of the weekend, not an add-on

The Major's House (optional, 9 beds) — a separate forest cottage on the estate; bookable as an add-on; total estate overnight capacity with this addition: up to 32 guests

Minimum booking: a full weekend (Friday–Sunday). No single-day events. Season: May–September. The barn is unheated — a physical characteristic of the historic building, not a policy decision.

Up to 32 guests sleep on the estate

The overnight capacity is what separates Agerup from nearly every other wedding venue. Both families, in the manor house, for the entire weekend. No one driving home at 11pm. No hotel corridor with strangers. A shared Sunday morning in the kitchen.

For couples whose guests are travelling from abroad — it matters enormously that the people who matter most are all in one place. That is not a detail. That is the experience.

Getting married in Denmark — the practical side

For expats already in Denmark: No additional legal steps beyond standard Danish marriage registration. Agerup is 1.5 hours from Copenhagen by car (or train to Nykøbing Falster, then a short drive). Your guests who fly in have good connections through Copenhagen Airport.

For international couples: A Danish civil marriage (borgerlig vielse) requires both parties to meet Danish residency documentation requirements — this varies by nationality and changes over time. We recommend checking the current requirements via the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI) or your local municipality. Agerup can host the ceremony itself; the civil registration is handled separately.

If you're having a symbolic or religious ceremony (not a civil registration), none of this applies — Agerup is simply the location.

Travel for international guests: Copenhagen Airport has direct connections from the UK, Ireland, US (seasonal), and most of Europe. The drive from Copenhagen to Agerup is straightforward — guests can rent a car or take public transport to Nykøbing Falster and share a taxi. Frederik can provide a guest logistics note for your invitation.

Catering and vendors — a canvas, not a package

Agerup Farm & Manor House provides no in-house catering, no wedding planning, no event production. You choose and coordinate your own vendors: caterer, florist, musicians, photographer. The barn and the manor house are the frame. What happens inside them is entirely yours.

Frederik can recommend experienced local vendors who know the estate. The manor house kitchen is available for catering preparation. Any serious vendor is welcome.
