Question 1

How does the planning process work?

Accepted Answer

We have an initial meeting to get to know each other, and if the clients decide to book me as their wedding officiant, I send them my questionnaire and we have further meetings, if possible in person on Mallorca. We create a structure of the ceremony and I write a schedule and we stay in contact with each other until the wedding day.

Question 2

How many meetings do we need to prepare the speech?

Accepted Answer

There is an first meeting to get to know each other, and after the clients book me, we have further meetings to discuss the structure and content of the ceremony; these can be around 2 to 3 meetings, either in the form of video calls or personal meetings on the island.

Question 3

How much time should we allow for the ceremony?

Accepted Answer

A ceremony usually lasts between 30 and 40 minutes; a little longer for bilingual ceremonies.

Question 4

Can you advise us on the choice of rituals or special elements for the ceremony?

Accepted Answer

Basically, I'm open to everything. I like to offer my favourite rituals such as the time capsule with the wine box or the ring warming, but the important thing is that each element fits the couple perfectly.

Question 5

Do you also offer help with the organisation of the entire ceremony?

Accepted Answer

I am happy to help with the choice of music, the selection of readings or rituals, if the couple wishes. The most important ingredient of a wedding ceremony are the wedding vows; I have prepared a Word doc with lots of examples for my couples to help and inspire them when writing their vows. Couples often ask me to help them write their vows, and of course I am happy to help.

Question 6

Can you help us choose music for the ceremony? Do you have any recommendations for other service providers on Mallorca (e.g. musicians, florists, photographers)?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I have been working with many service providers for many years and am happy to recommend them to others. You can also find them here on my website.

Question 7

Can you help us write the wedding vows?

Accepted Answer

The most important part of a wedding ceremony is the vows; I have prepared a word doc with lots of examples for my couples to help and inspire them when writing their own vows. Couples often ask me to help them write their vows, and of course I am happy to help.

Question 8

Will you bring your own microphone?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I have a small system that is sufficient for smaller groups.
