Your ceremony – by your rules

A celebrant-led wedding is the free alternative to a church ceremony: a festive celebration among your loved ones, designed individually and personally. It may be crazy, funny, festive – in any case exactly the way you want it.

From an extravagant themed wedding to a simple, moving ceremony, anything is possible. I will find the right balance between a dignified ceremony and a humorous touch – your celebration will be unique and unforgettable.

The choice of location, your cultural or religious background, whether bride and groom, bride and bride or groom and groom are getting married – everything is welcome!

Good to know: a celebrant-led ceremony does not replace the civil marriage at the registry office. It is the festive, emotional highlight – your "I do" in front of the people who matter to you.

Frequently asked questions

Does the ceremony replace the registry office?
No – a celebrant-led ceremony is not legally binding and does not replace the civil marriage. But it offers the perfect festive setting to exchange your vows in front of family and friends – free of formalities, full of emotion.
Where can the ceremony take place?
Anywhere you wish: in a garden, at a winery, in a castle, by a lake, on an alpine meadow or at your favourite venue. That is the great advantage of a celebrant-led wedding – you are not tied to any location.
Can we marry bilingually?
Yes! I am happy to hold your ceremony in English, German or bilingually – Russian, Portuguese and Turkish are also possible as a second language. Ideal when families from different countries come together.
How long does the ceremony take?
The ceremony itself usually lasts 30 to 45 minutes – from the processional to the recessional. We adapt the length entirely to your wishes.
