Practicalities
Travel. I'm based in Upper Bavaria and the Salzburg region, where travel is included in the price. I'm happy to go farther, anywhere in Europe if need be. We then agree travel and accommodation case by case, in advance.
Booking. Half reserves your date. The other half is due four weeks before the ceremony.
If I can’t make it. Should I fall seriously ill, you get everything back, and I’ll do what I can to help you find someone.
Short questions
How early should we ask?
Nine to twelve months ahead is common. If it’s shorter notice: ask anyway.
Is a freie Trauung legally binding?
No, the legal part happens at the Standesamt. The ceremony is the part your guests will remember. We can discuss how the two fit together during our first conversation.
How long does a ceremony take?
Usually thirty to forty-five minutes: long enough for your story, short enough that nobody checks the time. The exact length follows from what wants to be told.
We don’t like being the center of attention. Does this still fit?
Especially then. A good ceremony doesn’t put you on display; it tells about you. You don’t have to perform anything, you just have to be there. What you do or don’t want to do, we settle beforehand. There are no surprises you didn’t choose.
Can friends and family take part?
Gladly: a reading, a ritual, a song. We build it in so it belongs to the whole and nobody is thrown in cold. Everyone who takes part knows exactly when and how, in advance.
Do you travel?
Yes. I'm based in Upper Bavaria and the Salzburg region, but I'm happy to travel farther, anywhere in Europe. We then agree travel and accommodation case by case.
A first hello
A conversation, no strings attached. And you decide in your own time whether we fit.
