Getting married in Sanem
Sanem splits the week: Friday afternoons in the town hall, Saturdays in A Gadder. Two different rooms, two different kinds of day — and a vin d’honneur for up to 29 guests right after the ceremony, which in practice is the first group photograph of the day.

How to get married here, step by step
Check your date here →- One of you must be legally resident in this commune — residence decides where you marry, not preference.
- Contact the civil registry early to agree on the date and the list of documents.
- Hand in the complete file no later than one month before the wedding.
- The banns are published for 10 days; after that you have 12 months to marry.
