Getting Married in Prague
Getting married in Prague can be easy provided you have all the necessary paperwork in order before hand. We will be happy to advise and help you with all the paperwork requirements.

Ceremony Options

Civil Ceremony
Civil Ceremonies are legally binding and held in only a few select locations such as – The Old Town Hall (in Old Town Square) and the New Town Hall (in Charles Square).  There are also many Castle venues outside of Prague available for hosting your Civil Ceremony as well.  You are required by law to have as least two witnesses present.
The ceremony will be conducted in Czech. If neither the bride nor groom speaks Czech then they are legally required to have an officially authorised court interpreter present.

Religious Ceremony
Religious ceremonies - both Protestant and Catholic - are legally binding in the Czech Republic, and there is no need to first have a civil ceremony.  Religious ceremonies can be held at many of the various churches in Prague, and even in a few castle venues outside of Prague as well!

Most priests in the Czech Republic are also English Speaking, therefore your ceremony most likely can simply be held in English.

Catholic wedding
Catholic ceremonies take approximately 30mins to perform (without Holy Communion) and 1 hour with Holy Communion.
Couples wishing to have a Catholic wedding are required to have the necessary paperwork to be completed at least one month prior to the wedding day, including the pre-marital courses with your priest in your home country. You should contact your local parish priest, and the priest who will be performing the wedding in Prague, in advance, for guidance.  Either the bride or groom must be catholic in order to have a Catholic wedding. Divorced persons are not permitted to re-marry in the Catholic Church.

Protestant wedding
Protestant ceremonies take approximately 30mins to perform. They can be conducted in either a church or a chateau or possibly a garden/outdoor venue, as there are ministers who will travel to the ceremony.
You should contact your local church minister and the minister who is to perform the ceremony in Prague, to ensure you have all the necessary paperwork in order to get married.
