Alexandra Leibetzeder , an independent wedding officiant, is a truly emotional person. “I love love!” she says, beaming as she recounts the many little stories she picks up between the lines and all the moments that turn two people into an “us.” For Alexandra, the wedding ceremony is the heart of the wedding day—and she looks forward to filling these special moments with the couple’s personal details, quirks, and experiences every single time.
Every relationship has its own unique energy, and Alexandra is convinced that this is exactly the energy that should be felt during a ceremony. To make sure that happens, the wedding officiant takes plenty of time for you. Together with Alexandra, you’ll chat and laugh—and in the process, delve deeply into your personal love story. From this, she’ll craft a speech that feels just right for you. Sometimes touching, sometimes funny—and always authentic. No templates, no boilerplate text, but a narrative that lets your guests feel why the two of you belong together.
During the planning phase, Alexandra is your anchor and your point of contact for everything related to the ceremony. She listens to you, offers ideas, and suggests meaningful rituals. And when your wedding day finally arrives, she guides you and your guests through the ceremony—with warmth and a keen sense of what’s needed in the moment.
Alexandra’s mission is clear: she creates a moment that touches you deeply, makes you laugh, and stays in your heart for a lifetime. For her, planning a wedding ceremony isn’t just a job—it’s a true passion. And she looks forward to living out that passion and telling your story authentically.
Can we plan the ceremony the way we want?
Yes, with a non-religious wedding ceremony, basically anything goes. Together, we’ll plan what’s important to you. Special rituals, with or without music, or contributions from friends and family—there are no rules, just whatever feels right for you. I’ll guide you through the process with ideas, experience, and a healthy dose of creativity. Together, we’ll find a format that suits you and tells your story in a beautiful way.
How long does a non-religious wedding ceremony last?
A non-religious wedding ceremony usually lasts between 30 and 45 minutes, depending on how many personal touches, rituals, or musical performances you’d like to include. It’s important to me that the ceremony flows just right for you: not too long, not too short, but just right so that you feel comfortable and your guests stay engaged throughout.
When will you arrive on the wedding day?
On the wedding day, I always arrive early enough so that everything can be prepared without any rush. I usually arrive at least an hour before the ceremony begins—often two hours beforehand. That gives me enough time to test the equipment, coordinate with your vendors, and finalize the last details. And then I’m already looking forward to welcoming the first guests and striking up a conversation with them.
Will you be bringing your own equipment, such as a microphone and speakers?
Yes, I have a large Bluetooth speaker with a microphone. It runs on a rechargeable battery and can also be used to play music if there isn't any live music. I'm also happy to play a playlist in the background during the Agape.
How do you involve friends and family?
I do this, for example, with personal contributions: Your loved ones can share little anecdotes, wishes, or short speeches. Inclusion can also take place through rituals: Family or friends can participate in symbolic moments—for example, during the ring exchange, the processional, a candle ceremony, or something entirely unique to you. Musical performances are also possible: If someone in your circle is musically talented, we’d love to incorporate that. Surprises are also always well-received. Would you like to secretly include someone or plan a special moment? I’ll help you make it happen. It’s also great to have family support when preparing the speech: Your loved ones can help me by filling out a questionnaire or having a quick phone call so I can tell your story in an even more personal way.
