A wedding speech is more than just a speech: For speaker Dominik Breitenthaler, it’s a work of art that touches the heart, brings a smile to people’s faces, and creates lasting memories. With personal stories, humorous anecdotes, and apt metaphors, he strikes the right balance between lightheartedness and depth.

For Dominik Breitenthaler, an experienced wedding officiant and passionate orator, a wedding speech is much more than just a speech. He says, “A wedding speech is magic. It is a work of art crafted with care and emotion. Words that drift through the room like a gentle breeze, touching hearts and evoking memories.”
Dominik likes to weave humorous anecdotes into his wedding speeches—ones that make the guests smile—as well as personal stories that highlight the couple’s uniqueness. Using apt metaphors, this speaker from Salzburg expresses the depth of your love while leaving room for the many emotions that make this moment so special.
The key is striking the right balance between humor and sincerity. This creates a wedding speech that touches you and your guests, makes you laugh, and brings home the significance of the moment. After all, a successful wedding speech is much more than just a part of the ceremony’s program: it’s an unforgettable experience that lives on in the hearts of everyone present.
In keeping with this, Dominik sums up his philosophy with these words: “There’s a poet inside each of us. You just have to find him. Words from people, for people.”
I enjoy writing speeches, performing in front of an audience, and bringing joy to people. In addition to wedding speeches, I also offer my services for a wide range of other events—from baby showers and farewell parties to corporate events, birthday celebrations, and emceeing. To make my services even more authentic, I completed a course in 2025 and have been a certified freelance speaker ever since.
Dear Bride and Groom, your ceremony will be one-of-a-kind—I promise! Why? Because your love is one-of-a-kind. Because your story is one-of-a-kind. So there’s no doubt about it: your ceremony will be one-of-a-kind.
You’ll find that out during our no-obligation introductory meeting and subsequent appointments. The introductory meeting is, as the name suggests, about getting to know each other. In addition to our conversation—where you’ll tell me how you first met and how things unfolded leading up to the proposal—we’ll work together to figure out the direction the ceremony will take. However, this isn’t about going through a checklist of information—the focus is on building trust. Trust your gut. Only when we trust each other can we create an authentic ceremony that truly reflects your love story.
In my speeches, there’s room for all kinds of emotions. A wedding speech is like life itself. It’s okay to laugh, it’s okay to shed tears of joy, and it’s okay to reflect on profound philosophical topics. It’s important to find the right balance between humor and seriousness.
I believe I’m well-equipped to assess the scope of my work for a non-religious wedding ceremony. That’s why I’ve decided to publish my prices transparently on my website, with no hidden costs. The price includes an introductory meeting, detailed consultations (as many meetings as you’d like), support from our first meeting through the day of the ceremony, writing the speech, and conducting the ceremony.
