The free wedding ceremony is an unbureaucratic alternative to the church wedding. But if you want to say “I do” and choose such a variant of the wedding ceremony, you should know that the free wedding ceremony has neither legal nor ecclesiastical significance. Should you prefer to be husband and wife before the law and/or before the Institute Church, a traditional civil marriage ceremony must be chosen.
Those who choose a free wedding ceremony have more freedom regarding the person who is to perform the wedding ceremony – the free wedding speaker – and can determine the place and time as well as the course of the ceremony themselves. The bride and groom thus have the opportunity to focus on and celebrate their own love story.
Thus, it is not bound to conventional, bureaucratic procedures of a civil marriage ceremony. Also, it can bypass the procedure in the church, where religion is the main thing.
Nowadays, it is becoming increasingly popular to have the wedding ceremony performed by a freelance wedding officiant. The free wedding ceremony allows the realization of the bride and groom’s own wishes and therefore represents an individual type of wedding ceremony. This applies to bridal couples with the same religious or cultural background as well as those with multicultural backgrounds as an interesting option.
Those who consciously decide against this type of wedding ceremony, which brings more freedom, should start looking for a suitable freelance wedding speaker early on. But what criteria should you use in your search?
After you have decided to have a free wedding ceremony, the first step is to research the Internet for a suitable person. It is a good idea to enter freelance wedding speakers as a search term to get an overview of the various freelance wedding speakers. By the way the different homepages of the freelance wedding speakers are designed, an impression can be gained whether the taste of the freelance wedding speaker matches those of the bride and groom.
On the website of the respective freelance wedding officiant can be seen the ideas of the implementation of a free wedding ceremony. This will give the bride and groom the opportunity to verify that the taste of the freelance wedding officiant can be matched with that of the bride and groom. Also, the search can be extended through social networks such as Instagram.
Another way to find a suitable freelance wedding speaker is to follow a recommendation from friends and acquaintances. Furthermore, recommendations sometimes arise about the wedding location, make-up artists or photographers who have assisted other customers at their wedding.
An important aspect that should also be clarified before organizing is the question of the cost of a free wedding ceremony. Here it is important to combine your own wishes and ideas about the wedding ceremony with the possibilities of your own budget .
The range for the cost of a freelance wedding speaker is from about 600 euros to about 2500 euros. In the event that you have a small budget or do not want to spend a lot, it is therefore important that you determine in advance exactly what you value. Accordingly, you can place your individual focus on the aspects of the wedding ceremony that are personally important to you.
The large price differences of freelance wedding speakers result from their respective working methods. Accordingly, some freelance wedding speakers prefer a personal meeting before the wedding ceremony in order to take into account individual needs of the bride and groom during the ceremony. Others, however, proceed in such a way that they note key data of the relationship of the bride and groom and insert these into standardized texts.
Basically, however, the more individually the wishes of the bride and groom are addressed, the higher the costs. Incidentally, this also applies to the use of related services such as the location, photographer, flowers and cake for your wedding reception.
The free wedding ceremony is an alternative to civil and church weddings. When a wedding ceremony is performed by a freelance wedding speaker, the focus is on the individual needs of the bride and groom. However, it should be noted that a free wedding ceremony has neither legal nor ecclesiastical significance. This means that the marriage is not (yet) considered legally valid before the law and before the Church.
A freelance wedding speaker should be chosen according to one’s needs and budget. The cost of a free wedding ceremony varies greatly and depends on the particular working method of the free wedding officiant. A wedding speaker who intensively responds to the individual needs and wishes of the bride and groom during the wedding ceremony is significantly more expensive than one who works with standardized texts.
