Independent wedding officiant Manuel Plöchl from Lower Austria brings 26 years of experience as a civil registrar to his work. He has already officiated 400 weddings. Today, he works as an independent officiant, which allows him to be very flexible and no longer tied to a specific location. His ceremonies are professional, personal, modern, and humorous, without ever losing sight of the significance and solemnity of this special moment. Manuel also offers his ceremonies at unique venues and at special times.
Non-religious wedding ceremonies with personalized rituals
In addition to the traditional elements of a wedding ceremony—such as the exchange of rings, the wedding kiss, and signing the marriage certificate—there are numerous ways to personalize your ceremony. Personalized wedding vows, lighting a wedding candle together, speeches from family and friends, handfasting, or other symbolic rituals can all be part of your wedding. You decide which elements to include in the ceremony. Manuel will be there to guide you as an experienced officiant and ensure a personalized and completely relaxed wedding ceremony.
As an independent wedding officiant, Manuel isn’t tied to specific locations or times. This allows him to create ceremonies that are perfectly tailored to you and your vision. Whether romantic, humorous, or completely unconventional, he’ll work with you to craft a wedding ceremony that tells your story and touches your guests.

Can we get to know you a little beforehand?
Yes, a no-obligation introductory meeting is very important. After all, your wedding officiant will be by your side during one of the most emotional moments of your life. This introductory meeting can take place in person, over the phone, or even online. And if we click, we’ll have further conversations so I can get to know your story, your values, and your wishes. This will then form the basis for your completely personalized ceremony.
Can family and friends be included in the wedding speech?
We'd love that. Contributions from the best man and maid of honor, family, or friends make the ceremony even more emotional and personal.
Can we choose our own music and wedding rituals?
Yes, of course! Whether it’s an exchange of rings, live music, personalized wedding vows, lighting a wedding candle, handfasting, a wine ritual—as I experienced at my own wedding in Napa Valley (CA)—or any other rituals, your wedding ceremony can and should be a perfect fit for you.
Will we receive assistance with the ceremony?
Of course! Not only will I deliver your personalized speech, but I'll also help you with the structure, timing, rituals, and the entire ceremony planning process.
