About

Bilingual Celebrant in Europe

She trained with the Fellowship of Professional Celebrants and began her career as a Family and Marriage Celebrant in 2011, after a long career in public service. Since moving to Germany in 2017 she has offered destination English and bilingual weddings, elopements and vow renewals. She has led more than 600 ceremonies.

Every ceremony is written from scratch, with no templates. Yvonne works from a questionnaire and a series of conversations to weave a couple's love story, values and beliefs into a script in their own voice, with as much or as little formality as they wish.
