Personalized Wedding Ceremonies
Celebrating Your Unique Love Story
In Switzerland, Germany, Austria, and across Europe
Telling Your Love Story in a Way That Truly Belongs to You
Your one-of-a-kind love story should be shared in an emotional, joyful, and truly authentic way. I’ve enjoyed doing the same for every couple I’ve worked with since 2015, creating personalized wedding ceremonies reflecting their uniqueness. Injecting warmth, humor, and heartfelt understanding into everything I do, I transform wedding ceremonies into unforgettable experiences touching everyone deeply.
My mission: To make your wedding ceremony a true celebration of love - YOUR love.
What Is a Personalized Wedding Ceremony?
Personalized wedding ceremonies offer a heartfelt alternative to traditional religious weddings as a complement to a legal marriage or otherwise. With no legal obligations and nor religious constraints, they help the couple’s unique love story take center stage on the most important day of their lives.
Such customization means every ceremony element is tailored to reflect your personality and values ranging from the choice of words and music to meaningful symbolic rituals. Whether you’re looking for a romantic, humorous, modern, or poignant ceremony, we’ll work together to create an approach that’s authentic and memorable.
“You created an unforgettable moment for us — we’re still lost in the pictures and memories.”

LAKESIDE TO MOUNTAIN CHALET: YOUR LOVE STORY ON THE PERFECT STAGE
Because your wedding deserves more than tradition – it deserves your personal touch.
I’ll offer you the freedom to design your wedding ceremony exactly as you imagine it and the chance to celebrate in the location of your dreams. Perhaps that means beside a shimmering lake, in a quiet forest, or at a mountain chalet or other venue close to your heart.
Similar to how a movie director creates a cinematic masterpiece, I’ll craft your ceremony with a narrative arc: balancing heartfelt emotions with lighthearted, humorous moments gracefully leading up to a grand finale. A wedding ceremony can be deeply romantic, but it can also entertain and delight if that’s what you envision.
Expertise & Services
Looking for a perfect blend of expertise and passion? Look no more. I’ve spent the past decade guiding 200+ couples through their wedding day and touched the hearts of more than 11,000 guests. My role goes far beyond simply reading a story to instead create an entire experience that feels personal, meaningful, and unforgettable.
WHAT I’LL DO FOR YOU:
-
Listening & Advising: Sharing ideas on venues, music, ceremony flow, and current trends
-
Preparation & Concept: Spending several days crafting your ceremony script and developing a concept with symbolic rituals
-
Coordination: Arriving at least two hours before the ceremony to set up sound equipment, conduct sound checks, and brief participants
-
Support: Serving as your go-to contact and quick problem-solver throughout the planning journey
-
Loved One Involvement: Gathering stories and anecdotes from witnesses, parents, and/or children to add humor and share heartfelt moments
Audio Sample: Giving your story a voice
My goal as a wedding celebrant is simple: to touch hearts. In doing so, I always make sure my clients feel connected to my voice and its sound, rhythm, tone, emphasis, volume, and (yes) European accent.
Take a listen. Does it feel right for you?
My role goes far beyond simply reading a story aloud!
What Does “Personalized Ceremonies and More” Mean?
My work doesn’t stop at weddings. Over the years, I’ve expanded my services to fulfill couples’ unique wishes as more than a wedding celebrant. This is precisely why my company is called “Liebesbekenntnis – Personalized Ceremonies and More,” with other services and benefits mentioned throughout the site.
Destination Weddings
Whether in an elegant castle garden, high up in the mountains, or abroad in a dream location, I regularly officiate weddings across Europe and beyond its borders as well. I’ve even traveled as far as Sri Lanka! No destination is out of the question when it comes to celebrating love.
Ceremony Script Ghostwriting
When couples want a close friend or family member to officiate their wedding, I step in behind the scenes: designing the entire concept, writing a complete ceremony script, and providing detailed guidance for a smooth and confident delivery.
Decor & Furniture Set the Scene
When my clients dream of wedding arches, elegant chandeliers, cozy sofas, and plenty of seating for everyone, I make it happen - warehouse and truck included! I’ll even drive the 3.5-ton truck myself in order to bring your vision to life.
Julia – Wedding Celebrant & Founder of Liebesbekenntnis
In owning and operating my business from a place of love, I guide couples toward ceremonies as unique as their relationship. My words move, entertain, and feel truly authentic, and my style is as versatile as the clients I work with: sometimes light and humorous or otherwise solemn and profound, but always personal and one of a kind.

Step-by-Step Journey to your Ceremony
1. No-Obligation Introduction
It all starts with a complimentary meeting to chat and make sure we’re a great fit.
2. Planning & Detail Work
A more comprehensive session (2–3 hours) and Liebesbekenntnis “homework” make sure each and every element of your story is captured.
3. The Big Day
I'll arrive two hours early to set up sound, run checks, and provide a briefing.
When to Inquire?
Most bookings 8–12 months ahead. For summer or destination weddings: 12–24 months.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS ABOUT YOUR PERSONALIZED CEREMONY
DIRECT, OPEN, AND HONEST
Absolutely! I love all my couples – no matter their gender, nationality, ethnicity, age, faith, or sexual orientation and welcome all clients with open arms.
It depends! Most couples book 8–12 months in advance, but it’s best to reach out 12–24 months ahead if you’re planning a summer (June to September) or destination wedding.
More of a last-minute couple? Don’t panic! I’ve created beautiful ceremonies with only a few weeks’ time between the first meeting and the big day (not ideal but indeed possible if my schedule allows).
We’ll kick off the process with a free, no-obligation introductory meeting to discuss your ceremony ideas and make sure we feel comfortable with each other.
A more detailed planning session will follow later on in the preparation process. This is where we’ll dive deep into your love story, perhaps even over a relaxed brunch or dinner together if you’d like.
Depending on your wedding venue, I may even visit in advance to explore the setting on site.
Each meeting is two to three hours long with my time dedicated just to you.
I’ll invite you to complete detailed written interviews, both as a couple and individually, for your Liebesbekenntnis “homework.” This includes a variety of unexpected questions designed to piece together your love story. Couples who take the time to answer thoroughly and creativity are rewarded with a truly unique ceremony script, their own words and style shaping the celebration.
A personal conversation will follow to get even deeper, and I’ll also reach out to your witnesses and/or parents (with your permission) to gather entertaining anecdotes and heartfelt memories. I’ll then weave these into your ceremony for an even more personal and touching experience.
I’ll arrive at your wedding venue two to three hours before the ceremony, giving me plenty of time to set up the sound system, coordinate with the musicians, and ensure the seating is just right. I’ll also make sure you have plenty of shade (if applicable) and water before briefing the photographers and videographers along with the flower girls, bridesmaids, groomsmen, and person walking you down the aisle.
I’ll then quickly change out of my jeans and T-shirt and into elegant ceremony attire, review the script one last time, and take a quiet moment to center myself. More importantly, I’ll be there for you during this time as we review the flow, rehearse the ring exchange, and finalize seating—bringing a sense of calm, confidence, and reassurance to this final conversation before the big moment.
After the ceremony, I’ll pack up the equipment, enjoy a quick moment at the aperitif buffet, chat with a few guests, and give you both one last heartfelt hug. Then it’s time for me to head home—I (unfortunately) can’t party at a different wedding every weekend, after all!
Yes, this can and does happen. If I feel I’m not the right fit for a couple or their expectations don’t align with my philosophy during our “get to know you” meeting, I’ll politely and professionally decline the job - knowing I can only share someone else’s love story wholeheartedly and without hesitation.
It’s a bit trickier once a ceremony is already planned, but if I fall ill or cannot attend unexpectantly due to an emergency, fear not! I’ve built a strong network of trusted celebrants ready to step in at a moment’s notice. I in fact personally trained many of them at the Ceremony Academy where I’ve taught for seven years, so you can feel confident knowing they’ll uphold the same standards as my own.
Once I’ve given you my “I do,” you can rest assured I’ll be there for you come rain or shine!
