Ceremonies
In German, in English — or both at once.
Wedding ceremonies for couples whose story spans more than one language. And for anyone who wants their story told with the depth it deserves.
Two languages, one ceremony
Sometimes you have to switch languages in the middle of the ceremony so that no one loses track of what’s going on. I know the challenge well: German is my native language, and English has been part of my everyday life for twenty years — both at home and at work. Your families don’t hear the original first and then the translation; they will hear the same story, at the same time.
What a freie Trauung is
A freie Trauung, a free ceremony, is your ceremony without strict guidelines: your venue, your words, your pace, your rituals. The Standesamt handles the legal part. We’ll work together to shape the part your guests will remember.
Who it’s for
I work best with couples who take their wedding ceremony seriously but hemselves a little less so. Small to medium-sized, in a garden or courtyard, intimate or unique. Most important is that you want your story told — not just any story.
To keep
After the wedding, you'll receive your wedding speech as a keepsake — carefully typeset — to read again on anniversaries, to give to your parents, or to keep for yourself. It comes with a certificate of your ceremony.
A first hello
A conversation, no strings attached. And you decide in your own time whether we fit.
