Nicole Hermann

Nicole Hermann works as Zeremonien mit Herz from Buochs near Lucerne, leading free ceremonies built around each couple's own love story. The speech and vows are written to fit the pair, with humour, emotion and a warm tone, and she'll add a ritual such as a sand ceremony if the couple wants one. Her planning runs through a two to three hour session a few months ahead, ongoing contact in between, and a final review call in the days before the wedding.

Beyond weddings she also leads free baptisms, vow renewals and farewell ceremonies, and she takes on winter weddings, small elopement ceremonies for two, and weddings for international couples coming to Switzerland. She works mainly in German and offers ceremonies in English as well. She's based near Lucerne and travels to where the couple is getting married.
