How do you go about planning a non-religious wedding ceremony?
After a no-obligation introductory meeting, I’ll have an in-depth, personal wedding consultation with you. During this time, I’ll take plenty of time to get to know your story—from your first encounters and special moments to the little details that make your relationship unique. In addition, each of you will receive a questionnaire that you can fill out independently. This often leads to heartfelt surprises and personal insights that are later incorporated into the wedding ceremony. Based on our conversations and your responses, I’ll create a customized wedding ceremony that’s perfectly tailored to you. Together, we’ll discuss your wishes, possible rituals, the music selection, and the flow of the ceremony. Of course, I’ll be available to answer any questions and coordinate details right up until your wedding day, so you can relax and look forward to your big moment.
Where do you offer non-religious wedding ceremonies?
I officiate wedding ceremonies in Carinthia, Salzburg, and Styria, and upon request, throughout Austria and abroad. Whether in your own garden, by a lake, at an alpine pasture, in a castle, or at your very own favorite spot.
Can family and friends be included in the wedding ceremony?
Yes. Contributions from family, friends, or children can make the wedding ceremony even more personal. Together, we'll find the right setting for it.
How long does a non-religious wedding ceremony last?
Most ceremonies last between 30 and 45 minutes. The duration can be adjusted depending on the program and individual preferences.
What is particularly important to you when it comes to a non-religious wedding ceremony?
That you feel at home during the ceremony. A good wedding ceremony should be moving, make you laugh, and evoke genuine emotions. Above all, however, it should be remembered by you and your wedding guests as a heartwarming moment—a moment you’ll still look back on fondly many years later.
