Getting Married in Amsterdam

✈️ 7.5 hours from NYC🗓 Best: April–September (tulips: March–May)🌍 Netherlands

Amsterdam is a breathtaking destination-wedding location. Amsterdam is one of Europe's most perfectly scaled cities — compact enough to explore entirely by bicycle, but rich enough to spend a lifetime in. The canals, the Golden Age art, the café culture, and the liberal spirit make it one of the continent's most beloved destinations.

Amsterdam has recognized same-sex marriage since 2001 — the first country in the world to do so. Canal boat and historic city hall ceremonies are both wonderful options.

The Wedding Unicorn coordinates Amsterdam destination weddings end-to-end — venue sourcing and negotiation, vendor coordination (photographers, florists, caterers, musicians), legal marriage documentation, guest travel block negotiation, multi-day event itineraries (welcome dinner, rehearsal, ceremony, day-after brunch), and complete day-of management.

We know what Amsterdam requires for legal or symbolic ceremonies, and we have the vendor relationships to deliver quality that matches the extraordinary setting.
