OWN BABS
Warmth, Involvement & Loving Attention

A WEDDING OFFICER WITH HEART & SOUL

 

An independent Wedding Officiant/Registered Registrar truly makes the difference, because a ceremony can be more than just a mandatory routine. It can be a moment of meaning, emotion, humor, and connection. As your own Registrar, I'll take the time to get to know your story, and we'll have multiple moments of connection together.

A wedding ceremony is the beating heart of your day, a moment to reflect on who you are, what unites you, and where you want to go. I capture all of this in a personal, loving, and fully customized story.

I listen between the words, empathize, share my thoughts, and create a ceremony that will stay with you and your loved ones. One of love, attention, and style, warmth and connection, a ceremony that moves. Every love is unique, and your ceremony should be too.

 

I'm happy to help you with questions like:

Where are we getting married? How do we want to get married? What style suits us?

Can we write our own "I do" ceremony? And so on... Together, we'll find a style that's right for you: classic or playful, intimate or grand, traditional or spiritual.

 

WHY CHOOSE YOUR OWN REGISTER?

 

When you choose a personal registrar, you're choosing freedom, alignment, and meaning. With me as your registrar, you are assured of:

 

 A personal, unique, and tailor-made speech

 * Your wishes and story are central

 * No standard texts or fixed formats

  * Freedom in location, time, and style

  * A ceremony that reflects your story

Space for rituals, symbolism, music, or silence

   * Self-chosen vows or your own "I do"

* Attention for children, family, or (absent) loved ones

  * Space for silence, humor, tears, and meaning

 * Warm, relaxed, and professional guidance

   * A ceremony that resonates, touches, and connects


I take the time to truly get to know you. In an extensive preliminary consultation, we'll work together to find the format that suits you. With gentleness, clarity, and loving commitment, I'll express what matters to you.

 

SMALL HEARTS, BIG ROLE: THE CHILDREN'S ACT

 

Do you have children and want to include them in the ceremony? Wonderful! With a special children's marriage certificate, I give your children their own symbolic role in the "I do" ceremony, ensuring they too are seen, heard, and connected in your love.

 

WORKING METHOD

 

After our initial meeting, you'll decide whether or not I'll be your registrar. You'll be entrusting me with your personal stories, so it's important that it feels right, that you can trust me to set the right tone for your ceremony. About two months before your big day, we'll schedule an interview (or several). During this conversation, I'll ask you a lot of questions, both practical and primarily about you as individuals and as a couple. You'll notice that I quickly get to the heart of what makes you so special and connects you. Based on that conversation, I'll start crafting a personalized speech. A story about you, your loved ones, your love story, and your journey together. In the lead-up to your big day, I'll stay in touch with you and, if you wish, with the people who are important to you. Together, we'll ensure your ceremony is a success. A ceremony that is personal, moving, and memorable, one that you and your guests will talk about for a long time to come.

 

WHAT IS THE PRICE?

 

At Vota Amora, you choose quality, freedom, and sometimes even cost savings. Whether you get married in the Netherlands or on Bonaire, you'll easily pay a few hundred dollars for a standard wedding ceremony, which dedicates much less time and attention to your oh-so-important day. A ceremony is the very centerpiece of your marriage. One option is to sign a marriage certificate at the relevant town hall in the Netherlands on certain days, free of charge, and then perform your wedding ceremony on Bonaire. This saves a lot of paperwork, and of course, you'll experience a unique, tailor-made wedding, wherever and whenever you want. Because every ceremony is different in style, location, language, or format, I always provide a quote. In a free introductory meeting, we'll explore your wishes and options together and, of course, see if we click.

 

GET MARRIED WITH ATTENTION, LOVE & MEANING

 

Do you feel like your ceremony should be something you'll never forget? I'd love to walk a part of the journey with you. Let me know who you are and what your dreams are, and I'll create a moment that moves, connects, and resonates contact me.
