A ceremony that sounds like you, not a template copied out

Symbolic ceremony, vow renewal. The celebrants in the directory.

4 approved officiants 2 criteria 3 provinces
See the 4 celebrants Find my style first

The town hall takes twelve minutes and says nothing about you. The ceremony is the only moment of the day when someone tells your story out loud. It is also the one guests remember most, and the cheapest on the whole list.

What kind of ceremony?

What the celebrants in the directory offer.

Or by province

Supply is not spread evenly across the provinces. That is why the province is a filter here, and not a page of its own.

How to choose your celebrant

  1. 1Meet the officiant before you signThis person is going to speak about you in front of everyone close to you. You have to get on well.
  2. 2Write your vows earlyVows written the night before show it. Allow two months for them to settle.
  3. 3Limit the speakersThree memorable speeches beat seven that drag on.
  4. 4Think about soundAn outdoor ceremony with no microphone means half the guests hear nothing.
  5. 5Allow thirty to forty minutesBeyond that, attention drops, however good the officiant.

The five questions to ask

  • How many preparation meetings do you plan?
  • Do you write the text, or do you guide us as we write it?
  • Do you provide the sound system, or do we need to arrange it?
  • How long does a ceremony with you last?
  • What happens if the weather forces us to move indoors?

What it costs

From 400 € for simple support to 1 500 € for a fully written ceremony with several meetings.

These amounts are market benchmarks I wrote myself, not measurements. No listing in this category has entered a price in the database.

Frequently asked questions

Does a secular ceremony have any legal value?

No. Only appearing before the registrar marries you. A secular ceremony is a moment, not a legal act.

How far ahead should you book?

6 to 9 months, because the preparation takes several meetings.

Can you write it yourself?

Yes, and many celebrants guide the writing rather than writing it for you.
