A ceremony that feels like you.
Your wedding day is a day when everything comes together.
The love you share. The people you hold dear. And the promise you make to each other.
A moment that happens only once. A moment that should feel like it’s entirely yours.

As a wedding officiant, I believe that a beautiful ceremony begins with genuine attention.
I don’t just want to know how you met, but above all, who you are together.
What connects you. What makes you laugh. What little moments are so precious to you.
From those stories emerges a ceremony that is personal, warm, and stylish—with room for emotion, a smile, and words that perfectly suit you both and this special moment.

Not a story that could have belonged to any other couple.
But a ceremony in which you recognize yourselves.

With attention to detail, to the right words, and to the atmosphere that suits you. So that later, you’ll look back not only on a beautiful day, but also on a ceremony that truly touched you.
And if you’d like, I can also conduct the ceremony for you in English, German, or French.
Perhaps you’re curious about what happens when your story and my words come together.
So let’s get to know each other. There’s absolutely no obligation on your part.
During a relaxed conversation, I’d love to hear how you found each other, what makes you special as a couple, and what you envision for your wedding day.
Because often, it’s only through a good conversation that you realize if there’s a connection.

And perhaps that’s where your ceremony will begin.

After that, I’d love to talk with you again and, if you’re comfortable with it, meet your witnesses as well.
I’m a certified wedding officiant (BABS) in the municipalities of Bergen, Uitgeest, Castricum, and Heiloo, which means I can easily serve as a one-day BABS almost anywhere in the Netherlands, since some municipalities only accept a one-day BABS if they’ve been appointed and sworn in by another municipality.
Would you like to find out what I can do for you?
I’d love to meet you.
Oh, and my fee will go to a charity of your choice.
