Getting married under the guidance of a ceremony speaker is a very unique, intimate experience. Your ceremony speaker will help you shape your ceremony in your own style and according to your wishes. Sometimes romantic, sometimes chic, often with the necessary humour, but always starting from your most personal story together. What are the qualities of this ceremony speaker?

Worthy of your trust
Someone who begins to be part of your most personal story months before your ceremony becomes a true confidant throughout your engagement. Your ceremony speaker is empathetic and can have deep empathy for your common project. He or she handles everything you feel and think very carefully. Gaining your trust -and being worth it- is a very important trait for a ceremony speaker.
Putting your intimate feelings into words
Your ceremony speaker will help you shape your most intimate thoughts, using the appropriate words and in the right tones. After all, on your most beautiful day, you will speak a number of promises and vows. Through these words, you will say how committed you are to your partner and your future. Wish each other what your heart desires, and speak your words confidently in the presence of your family, friends and witnesses.
Telling your own story
Your ceremony is a total experience that uses many kinds of language. You address each other with symbolic words, you step towards your partner in a ritualistic way and you feel supported by all those present. Your ceremony speaker will think with you about how your story can be told and experienced during your celebration. Perhaps you are thinking of specific (live) music, a wealth of flowers and colours... Or maybe you prefer to keep things minimalist, always with the focus on your love for each other.
Your guide in the rite of passage
Your wedding ceremony is often considered one of the most important rites de passage or 'rites of passage'. Your ceremony speaker can build in a fine ritual moment with you, to visually shape your union as well. He or she may guide you through some more serious moments, but will soon enough bring you back to that joyous occasion: your wedding!
Celebrating your connection
During your ceremony, perhaps the most important people in your lives will be together for a while. What a great opportunity to address and thank each one in an appropriate way! Your ceremony speaker can fit this into his or her script, and provide enough time to express your connection with those present.
