“Personalized, flexible, and diverse moments for the heart, body, mind, and soul”—this motto defines Sonja Neukirchen’s work. As a freelance wedding officiant, she creates wedding ceremonies that are personal, authentic, and full of warmth. Her goal is to truly touch your hearts, draw on your story, and create a moment that reflects who you are and what you value.

In addition to her work as a freelance speaker, Sonja is also a yoga and meditation instructor. These different facets are reflected in her work: She aims to inspire, spread joy, and help you consciously experience special moments. For you, this means a non-religious wedding ceremony that is varied and tailored to your individual needs —without rigid guidelines and with plenty of room for what makes you unique as a couple.
Before Sonja took the plunge into self-employment, she worked as a project manager in financial control and marketing. As a result, a professional, reliable, and organized approach to her work comes naturally to her. Thorough preparation is the foundation that allows you to relax and enjoy your ceremony.
Freelance Speaker with Charisma
In her personal life, Sonja loves spending time in nature, in the garden, or with her loved ones. She loves creative projects, sometimes goes against the grain, and prefers real-life experiences to spending as much time as possible online. It is precisely this attitude that she brings to her wedding ceremonies: personal, approachable, and with a joy for finding unique paths.

How does the planning process for our non-religious wedding ceremony work?
Once I receive your inquiry, I’ll send you a quote. If you’re interested, we’ll schedule a free, no-obligation meeting to get to know each other. This can certainly be in person, but it can also take place online. When we schedule this initial meeting, I’ll also reserve the time slot in my calendar. Afterward, you’ll decide whether I’m the right fit for you. Once you’ve given your approval, we’ll formalize the engagement in a contract. Before the wedding, you’ll schedule a second meeting, which should definitely be in person. In the meantime, I’m of course available to answer any further questions you may have.
Can we meet you, as a freelance speaker, with no obligation?
Yes, I’d love to! During a free, no-obligation consultation, we’ll not only get to know each other in person—I’ll also explain how a non-religious wedding ceremony might unfold and share some examples. This will give you a little inspiration for how you can customize your ceremony. We can also do the initial consultation online; if you’d prefer to meet in person, I’d be happy to invite you to my home in Knoppen, Bad Mitterndorf.
How can we prepare for our non-religious wedding and ceremony?
Once you’ve confirmed, I’ll mail you my brochure or drop it off if you live nearby. It’s one-of-a-kind, shows you design options, and also provides plenty of space for notes, questions, and your own ideas. The brochure is meant to help you prepare for our “second meeting,” during which we’ll plan the details and I’ll get to know you better so I can craft the perfect wedding speech.
Can our non-religious wedding ceremony also take place outdoors?
That's definitely possible, and I think it's a really great idea! We can discuss the details—like acoustics, lighting, temperature, how to get there, or the hike up—together.
What happens if you, as a freelance speaker, have to cancel at the last minute?
If I were to be unable to work on short notice due to unforeseen circumstances, the “Freie Redner-innen” agency would make every effort to find a replacement who is just as well-trained as I am. In addition, I have a network of contacts in the region and can offer assistance in other ways as well. However, this has never happened before and would only occur if I were seriously ill or had an accident. A few headaches or a sore throat won’t stop me!
