Wedding Photographer Chur, GR

Where do couples marry at the civil registry in Chur?

The responsible office is the Plessur civil registry office (Zivilstandsamt Plessur) in the town hall at Reichsgasse 60. According to the City of Chur, ceremonies in Chur take place Monday to Friday, and on selected Saturdays in the morning. The office publishes the Saturday dates on its website.

If you want to marry somewhere other than the Plessur office, you receive a marriage authorisation once the preparation procedure is complete. It lets you marry elsewhere in Switzerland within the legal time limit.

In what order should you plan the ceremony and the photos in Chur?

• Preparation: it runs through the civil registry office at the Swiss place of residence of one of you. If you live in the Plessur region, the office asks you to call to discuss the next steps.
• ID: you need a valid passport or a valid ID card for the preparation procedure.
• Date: only after the preparation is complete does the office fix the ceremony date or confirm a provisionally reserved date in writing.
• Time limit: the ceremony must take place within three months of completing the preparation, otherwise the procedure starts again.
• Photography: once your date is set, it is time to send the inquiry. Whether someone from the selection is free depends on that date.

According to the City of Chur, the preparation and the ceremony are subject to fees; the office gives the current amounts. What to expect on the photography side is covered in our guide to wedding photographer costs in Switzerland.
