FAQ – Answers to your most common questions
I’ve answered some of the questions I’m most often asked.
If anything is still unclear or you have a question that isn’t covered here, just let me know.
Do we need to come to Mallorca for the preparatory meetings for our ceremony?
No, that’s not necessary. We usually start by getting to know each other in a video call to see if we’re a good fit – that connection is the most important part. Once you’ve decided that I’m the right celebrant and singer for your wedding, I’ll guide you through a series of questionnaires – some to complete together, and some individually. Based on this, I create the first structure of your ceremony.
If you happy to be on the island during the planning phase, I’m very happy to meet in person to talk through the details of your ceremony, clarify any questions and dive even deeper into your story – and simply get a feel for one another. If that’s not possible, we stay in close contact via further video calls. This way, your ceremony continues to grow step by step. Shortly before the wedding, we’ll have a final video call to go through the last details and make sure everything feels just right.
How long does a wedding ceremony with you usually last?
The length of the ceremony really depends on how much you share with me. My ceremonies are not built around generic quotes or clichés – they are based on your personal story and on what you choose to open up about. Another factor is which rituals you would like to include. While the ring exchange and the first kiss are typical elements, there are many other options, such as a symbolic marriage certificate, a time capsule or other meaningful rituals that take a little time.
Sometimes the best man, maid of honour or close friends also wish to say a few words during the ceremony, which can add to the overall length. In general, the ceremony usually lasts between 35 and 45 minutes, including the songs.
How far in advance should we start planning our wedding ceremony?
As a general guideline, you should start planning your ceremony around 6 weeks to 12 months in advance. However, this also depends very much on your preferred wedding date. If you have a specific or meaningful date in mind – such as 6/6, 7/7 or a long weekend linked to public holidays – it’s highly recommended to start planning as early as possible.
On Mallorca, the main wedding season for international couples usually runs from May to October, and many couples prefer to get married on a Saturday. For this reason, it’s important to contact your key providers – such as the venue, celebrant and caterer – as early as you can. That said, if you’re planning a smaller wedding and are flexible with dates and school holidays, it’s often possible to organise the ceremony within just a few weeks.
What costs should we expect for you as our wedding celebrant?
I offer different options for booking me as your wedding celebrant – with spoken ceremony only, with live music during the ceremony, or including additional musical accompaniment for the drinks reception afterwards.
The investment depends on the option you choose and typically ranges between € 1,200 and € 2,200.
