Where can you have a civil ceremony in Lucerne?

The regional civil registry office (Regionales Zivilstandsamt) of the City of Lucerne offers three formats: a classic ceremony with guests, a short ceremony with only the legal part (5 to 10 minutes, guests welcome) and an immediate ceremony at the counter with two witnesses and no guests. The city lists these venues:

• Gütschwald official ceremony room, Obergrundstrasse 1: Tuesday to Thursday
• Portrait Hall (Portraitsaal) in the Town Hall: Fridays, with a fee surcharge of CHF 270
• Meggenhorn Castle (Schloss Meggenhorn): last Thursday afternoon of each month, from April to October also every second Thursday afternoon, with a fee surcharge of CHF 160
• Counter at Obergrundstrasse 1: Monday to Friday

Can you get married in English in Lucerne?

Ceremonies are generally held in German. Italian, French or English is possible after consultation with the office. If you cannot communicate in German, you arrange an official interpreter through the Dolmetschdienst Zentralschweiz, at CHF 125 per assignment.

Marriage preparation starts no earlier than three months before the wedding, in person and together, at the regional civil registry office where one of you lives. Once it has been completed, the ceremony must take place within three months. For foreign nationals the preparation can take longer, so contact the office early. Ceremony slots can be booked online and paid by credit card only.

What fees apply to a civil ceremony in Lucerne?

The basic fees follow the ordinance on civil registry fees (Verordnung über die Gebühren im Zivilstandswesen). The Portrait Hall (CHF 270) and Meggenhorn Castle (CHF 160) add a surcharge, and an interpreter costs CHF 125 per assignment.
