Question 1

Where in the Netherlands can we get married with you as the officiant?

Accepted Answer

As an independent officiant, I'm not restricted to a specific municipality. However, I need to be sworn in once in the municipality of your wedding venue for the legal part. Each municipality has its own rules for this, so it's important to research them. However, a ceremonial union can always be held anywhere without municipal rules or fees.

Question 2

We have foreign guests; is it possible to conduct the ceremony (partly) in English?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. I'm fluent in English and can conduct either part or the entire ceremony in English for you.

Question 3

How far in advance should we start if we want you as our officiant?

Accepted Answer

Most people plan their weddings 6-12 months in advance, so my schedule fills up quickly. Ideally, we should discuss the content at least 6 weeks before the big day. Additionally, the one-time swearing-in in the municipality must be requested at least 4 months in advance.

Question 4

We want to get married abroad, is that possible?

Accepted Answer

Yes, that's very exciting! I'm more than happy to accompany you to your wedding location anywhere in the world. However, keep in mind that this would only be a ceremonial union. The legal union must be done at your own municipality either before or after. But your guests won't notice any difference.

Question 5

We have some children we would like to involve, is that possible?

Accepted Answer

Children often add a personal and lighthearted touch. They can be flower girls/boys, say something during the ceremony, record a message beforehand, and it's always nice to involve them in the ring ceremony. There are many more ideas we can discuss during our conversation.

Question 6

What are the costs for the one-time swearing-in at the municipality?

Accepted Answer

Each municipality has different rules and procedures. It's best to contact the municipality of your wedding venue for information. Often, there's also a lot of information available on their website.

Question 7

What price should we expect for the ceremony by The Perfect Yes?

Accepted Answer

Each request is different and personal, so there's no fixed price for the entire package. As a baseline, I start at €995 (including VAT), which includes a digital introduction, personal follow-up meeting, digital updates, and a 45-60 minute ceremony. Additionally, you can always contact me for questions or comments. This price does not include travel costs from Amsterdam to your location, the costs for the municipal swearing-in, and any additional requests.

Question 8

We also have guest speakers during the ceremony, is that possible?

Accepted Answer

Certainly. We'll discuss all your wishes and ideas beforehand and create a ceremony together. However, it's always helpful to have an idea of what the guest speakers will talk about so we can create a nicely varied story.
