Wedding venues

The bright and friendly wedding room in the town hall offers 19 seats.

Your happiness grows out of your marriage vows, out of love and trust, which you can capture after the wedding ceremony on the "Romantic Wedding Stairs", a popular place for the first wedding photos of you, together with your families and witnesses.
Out there, you can receive the congratulations of your many guests and use the space under the secluded trees for a private champagne reception with 2 bar tables.

Parking spaces - subject to charges - are available at the town hall, Weststraße 46, 59269 Beckum.

You are lucky enough to get married right in the heart of the town of Beckum on the market square in a very special setting in the Beckum Town Museum at

You seal your vows under the neo-baroque wood panelling, in which the town seal and the town coat of arms are incorporated. You will sign your first
wedding vows on historical furniture - directly at the green table - and enjoy being surrounded by works of art from the respective special exhibition.

In the Galen museum forge, couples can "forge" their bond for life and emphasise their mutual
bond in a special way. In the immediate vicinity of the Provost Church of St. Stephen and the market square, the "Schmiede Galen" offers your wedding guests plenty of space with 40 seats compared to the other
wedding venues.

Surrounded by historic blacksmith's tools, it is not only people of this professional guild who have their hearts set on fire. Especially the forged horseshoes, which decorate the walls as journeymen's pieces, are said to be a symbol of luck
and a guarantee for future marital bliss.

Discuss your wishes, especially for the champagne reception afterwards, with the operator of the Kolpinghaus. On your wedding day, enjoy being pampered by the varied service of the gastronomy.

Do you wish to get married in your own garden?

You now have the opportunity to get married outside the registry office in the city on every 3rd Saturday of the month, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., in private rooms or rooms rented by you.

The following requirements must be met: The wedding venue must offer an appropriate and dignified setting in terms of its furnishings, cleanliness and accessibility and must be free of odour and noise pollution. The wedding venue must be of an appropriate size (rooms of at least 25 square metres) for the planned wedding party. Furthermore, there must be a table and sufficient seating for the registrar, the bridal couple and possibly for witnesses. The civil ceremony of the marriage must be physically separated from the actual wedding reception. No wedding ceremony will take place in the hall of the wedding reception.

As a matter of principle, no weddings will be performed in churches and prayer rooms or in places that do not offer a dignified setting (for example, factory halls, sports halls, swimming pools or beach areas).

In addition to the prescribed fees, a fee of 350 euros is charged for the increased organisational expenses of the city. A site inspection by the registrar takes place beforehand. For the duration of the official activity, he/she has the right to remove disturbances or have them removed.

If the offer has aroused your interest, contact your local registry office in Beckum for further information and to plan your wedding ceremony well in advance.

. However, their use depends on the weather. The gastronomy in the vicinity offers possibilities for further celebrations
