Frequently asked questions about your custom wedding ceremony
Are you planning your wedding and dreaming of a custom wedding ceremony? Here you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions about custom wedding ceremonies, the planning process and my work as a wedding celebrant.
What is a custom wedding ceremony?
A custom wedding ceremony is a personal wedding ceremony designed entirely around your wishes. There are no fixed rules. As your wedding celebrant, I work with you to create a ceremony that fits you as a couple and tells your love story.
How long does a custom wedding ceremony last?
A custom wedding ceremony usually lasts between 50 and 60 minutes. For me, the important thing is that the ceremony suits you and leaves enough room for your story.
Where can a custom wedding ceremony take place?
The beauty of a custom wedding ceremony is that you choose the location yourselves. Whether in a garden, by a lake, in a meadow or at your dream venue.
Is a custom wedding ceremony legally binding?
No, a custom wedding ceremony is not legally binding and does not replace a civil marriage at the registry office. What it does give you is the freedom to celebrate your love in a very personal way, without fixed requirements.
How does planning a custom wedding ceremony work?
It all starts with a no-obligation introductory conversation. If the chemistry between us is right, I take my time to get to know you in depth during our planning meeting. From your stories, I write a personal wedding speech that reflects who you are.
How far in advance should we book you as our wedding celebrant?
Ideally, get in touch as soon as your wedding date is set. Popular dates in the summer months are often booked early. But even if you are planning your custom wedding ceremony at short notice, it is always worth asking.
Can we help shape our custom wedding ceremony?
Absolutely! Your custom wedding ceremony should feel like you. You can include personal vows, special wedding rituals, your favorite music or your loved ones. Together we will create a ceremony that tells your story.
What rituals are there for a custom wedding ceremony?
Whether it’s a sand ceremony, ring warming, a time capsule or a ritual of your own, anything is possible at your custom wedding ceremony. Together we will find the wedding ritual that suits you and your love story.
Do we have to write our own vows for a custom wedding ceremony?
No, personal vows are not a must at a custom wedding ceremony. If you decide to write your own, I will be happy to help you. And if you would rather not, that is perfectly fine too.
How much does a custom wedding ceremony cost?
I will be happy to tell you more about my services during our personal introductory conversation and put together a quote tailored to your custom wedding ceremony.
Can we have a custom wedding ceremony without a civil wedding?
Yes, of course! A custom wedding ceremony is also possible without a civil wedding at the registry office. It is not legally binding, but it gives you the freedom to celebrate your love exactly the way you want.
