Passion for Love, Expertise in Law

From Love to a Mission – Our Story

Denmark Wedding Services began with a simple mission — to make love and family happiness accessible without borders. The company was founded by us, a married couple who went through this journey ourselves from beginning to end. From our own experience, we know the challenges couples face, and that is why we created a service that makes this process easier and more peaceful for others. We believe that every couple deserves a stress-free wedding, regardless of citizenship or country of origin.

Meet the Founders

DWS was started by us — a binational couple from three countries who married in Denmark in 2018. Everything we do today comes from what we lived through ourselves.

Ludmila Bernowski, CEO & Co-Founder

Ludmila Bernowski

CEO & Co-Founder

Ludmila — known to friends and clients as Mila — runs Denmark Wedding Services. Born in Russia and raised in Germany, she lived through the documents-and-bureaucracy maze first-hand when she and Shenol decided to marry in 2018. As CEO she leads the company day-to-day: client experience, partner relationships, and every couple's journey from first question to ceremony day. She is the calm voice on the other end of every email and WhatsApp message.

Shenol Reetz

Co-Founder

Born in Macedonia, Shenol came to Germany in 2016 — that's when he met Ludmila. After two years of long-distance and a German wedding bureaucracy that nearly broke their plans, they chose Copenhagen, married in 2018, and co-founded DWS to spare other international couples the same struggle. By day he is a software developer at Lufthansa Industry Solutions; alongside that he helps Ludmila with the marketing side of DWS — the website, the blog, and the technology behind them — so she can stay focused on couples.
