Get married at Way Out West!

During the last two festivals, we have had the honor of allowing three couples to tie the knot at Way Out West. We are now pleased to announce that the opportunity to get married in Slottsskogen will be available once again this year.

Do you and your partner have a special connection to Way Out West or any of the artists performing this year? Or maybe you’re simply two music lovers who wish to celebrate your love in an unconventional way? We now invite three couples to get married during this year’s festival, with one wedding ceremony to be held each day: Thursday August 7th, Friday August 8th, and Saturday August 9th. The chosen couples will receive one 1-Day Festival Ticket each, as well as 8 additional 1-Day Tickets for friends and family to attend the ceremony and festival.

 

Scroll down to apply. We very much look forward to receiving your application!

1. How to apply

Send an email to info@wayoutwest.se explaining why you should be the chosen couple. Use the subject line Wedding at Way Out West 2025. Tell us about yourselves and why you would like to get married at Way Out West. You can write your application in either Swedish or English – it can be a piece between 150 and 400 words, or even a short video or a song – express yourself in any way you like. Please also include at least one photo of you in the application. If it matters to you which of these days you can get married, please note this in your application.


We will review and answer all applications.

2. Practical information

If you receive a response stating that you have been selected to get married during the festival, the first thing you need to do is to apply for a valid Certificate of No Impediment (Hindersprövning) and a marriage certificate (Vigselintyg) issued by the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket). Make sure to apply for it in time and be aware of its validity period. You will not have the opportunity to get married at Way Out West without this.

 

The ceremony will take place in Slottsskogen around around 14:00 on Thursday and 12:00 on Friday and Saturday. More info to come.

 

The couples who get married will receive two 1-Day Tickets, as well 8 additional 1 Day Tickets for friends and family to attend the ceremony. The tickets can be upgraded if you wish to attend the whole festival. Kids are allowed to the attend the wedding, but this needs to be communicated beforehand and kids under 13 are not allowed to attend the festival afterwards. 

 

– The ceremony is civil and will be performed by a marriage officiant.

– You will need to present a valid identification on-site.

– You will need two witnesses to witness your marriage.

– After the ceremony, you will receive a Marriage Certificate.

– Way Out West will arrange with a photographer and some solid wedding music!
