Your story deserves more than just beautiful words.

A personalized wedding ceremony is far more than the moment you say “I do.” It is the moment your story is told—personally, authentically, and exactly as you truly are.

For over 15 years, I have been guiding couples across Switzerland on their journey to saying “I do.” Every ceremony is created anew. I take the time to get to know you, listen closely, and write a speech that touches both you and your guests—because it reflects who you are.

After the ceremony, people often ask me how long we’ve actually known each other—even though we met for the first time just a few months earlier. To me, that is one of the loveliest compliments.

Genau dieses Gefühl wünsche ich mir für jede Trauung: Dass ihr euch in jedem Wort wiederfindet und eure
Gäste sagen: „Genau so sind die beiden.”

Getting to Know Each Other & Planning

During a casual introductory meeting, we get to know each other in a relaxed atmosphere. You tell me
about yourselves, your story, and your vision for your independent wedding ceremony.

In two further meetings, we plan the flow of the ceremony together,
tailoring every detail to suit you and your wishes.

Your big day

On your wedding day, I will be on-site one to two hours before the ceremony. This leaves plenty of time to make preparations, coordinate with musicians, witnesses, and photographers, and ensure that everything runs smoothly.

During the ceremony, you can focus entirely on the moment. I will guide you and your guests through a personal, harmonious, and unforgettable celebration.

A non-religious wedding ceremony typically lasts 30 to 40 minutes—just the right amount of time to tell your story, create special moments, and keep your guests captivated until the very end.

Every wedding ceremony is as unique as the couple standing before me. That is why I support you not only on your wedding day but throughout the entire planning process.

FAQ

A personalized wedding ceremony is one that you can shape entirely according to your wishes. It is independent of the church or civil registry office and offers you the freedom to make your story, your values, and your personalities the focus.
The sooner, the better. Particularly popular Fridays and Saturdays are often fully booked one to two years in advance. However, do get in touch even on short notice—sometimes a date opens up, or we can find a solution together.

No. Every ceremony is as unique as the couple themselves. Humorous, relaxed, romantic, formal, or a blend of them all—together, we’ll find the style that feels right for you.
I’d be delighted. Children, dogs, or other important companions can be wonderfully incorporated into the ceremony. Together, we can decide which role suits you best.

An outdoor wedding ceremony doesn’t have to be cancelled or moved indoors just because of a few raindrops.
Rain can actually create a truly special atmosphere; the only important thing is ensuring my equipment is protected from the wet.
However, the sun is just as important. On hot summer days, a ceremony held in direct, blazing sunlight can quickly become uncomfortable for you, your guests, and the musicians. That is why I always recommend planning for a shady spot or a suitable alternative.
We will discuss the various options with you and your venue well in advance, ensuring you can enjoy your ceremony in a relaxed manner, whatever the weather.

Of course. The initial meeting is non-binding. It is important that the chemistry is right and that you feel comfortable with your wedding officiant.
