Treasure Time

Kristina Storm's "Über mich" page lists her qualifications in 3 lines, one after another: "Zert. Traurednerin (Talentschmiede für Zeremonien)," "Dipl. Hochzeitplanerin (AWEE, Academy of Wedding & Event Education GmbH)," and "Dipl. Hôtelière-Restauratrice HF (Hotelfachschule Thun)," the last one paired with 20 years of professional experience in hospitality and catering, "20 Jahren Berufserfahrung in der Hotellerie und Gastronomie." Most solo planners carry one training credential, in weddings. Kristina carries 3, and the oldest predates the wedding-planning one by a full career: before training as a planner and, separately, as a celebrant, she says she helped co-open Hotel Bell Rock at Europa-Park as F&B Operations Manager, then stayed on to run it further. She was born in Paderborn, in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, is married with 2 children, and now lives in Aargau. Nothing on the site names a second planner, an assistant or a team; Treasure Time is her alone.

The trading name on her Impressum is "Treasure Time Hochzeiten & Familienfeste by Kristina Storm," and it sells 4 separate wedding-planning products rather than one service that scales up or down. Gesamtplanung, full planning, comes with an 8-item list on its own page: choosing the venue, recommending and brokering suppliers, coordinating and communicating with every supplier, joint venue viewings, budget planning and management, help with the seating plan, ongoing personal consultation, and a detailed wedding-day schedule covering timeline, contacts, decoration and photo requests. Teilplanung, partial planning, is deliberately looser: instead of a checklist, its own page gives 3 examples of what a couple might hand over, planning the music and entertainment, finding a venue, or finding a celebrant, and frames the rest as targeted support wherever it is wanted. Tätschmeister, day-of coordination, is the one product she says can be booked entirely on its own, independent of either planning tier: a first meeting, a handover of the couple's existing plans a few weeks out, a check-in with every supplier and the timetable, then coordination on the day itself. Her own FAQ answer on when she actually steps in is looser than the rest of that page, "mehrere Wochen vor der Hochzeit," several weeks before, with no number attached. Hochzeitscoaching, the fourth line, is aimed at DIY couples who want a sounding board rather than someone doing the legwork: budget, timeline, suppliers and priorities, delivered as advice.

Her own checklist for planning a wedding, printed nearly word for word on both the Zurich and Aargau pages, gives step 3 as "Buchen des Standesamtes & Kirche und/oder Freie Trauredner," booking the registry office and church and/or a free-form celebrant, one line naming 2 separate bookings a couple has to make. General full planning is pitched to start "idealerweise 12 bis 18 Monate" ahead of the date, ideally 12 to 18 months out.

Every planning tier priced by quote, the ceremony priced flat

None of the 4 service pages prints a figure, on any of them. The numbers live one level up, on the hub pages, and Treasure Time is unusually consistent about them: the Zurich page this listing is built from, the Aargau page, the national "Hochzeitsplanerin in der Schweiz" page and a separate English page all state the identical 2 figures. Her hourly rate is CHF 100. As "ein grober Richtwert," a rough guideline, full planning support tends to run 10 to 15 percent of a couple's total wedding budget, and every page that states it adds the same qualifier: "Es ist jedoch sehr individuell und abhängig von der Komplexität und Grösse der Hochzeit," it depends heavily on the wedding's complexity and size. She states outright that she does not bill flat rate: "Ich biete verschiedene Dienstleistungen an und erstelle immer eine individuelle Offerte." No package price, no deposit figure and no minimum spend appears anywhere on the pages checked for this listing. Payment itself, once a quote is agreed, is settled plainly: "Meine Rechnungen an Euch werden via Überweisung beglichen," her invoices are paid by bank transfer, with the exact terms discussed individually, useful to know for anyone paying her from outside Switzerland.

One number on the site breaks that pattern, priced flat instead of by quote: her Freie Trauung, the free-form ceremony she leads as celebrant, costs "ein Honorar von CHF 2000.- zuzüglich Fahrtkosten," CHF 2000 plus travel costs, covering preparation, writing the personal ceremony script, running the ceremony, and bringing her own sound equipment. It is the only flat figure published anywhere across the pages checked here.

The Standesamt comes first, in her own words

Her celebrant page turns the checklist line above into a direct answer rather than leaving a reader to infer it. Asked "Ist eine freie Trauung auch nach der standesamtlichen Hochzeit möglich?", whether a free ceremony is even possible after the civil wedding, she answers: "Ja. In der Schweiz ersetzt die freie Trauung die standesamtliche Trauung nicht. Die zivile Trauung findet daher vorab auf dem Standesamt statt." Yes: in Switzerland, the free ceremony does not replace the civil registry wedding, so the civil wedding happens first, at the Standesamt. She never calls her own ceremony a marriage anywhere on the site.

She is just as direct about doing both jobs for one couple. Asked whether she can be booked as both planner and celebrant, her answer is "Ja – sehr gerne," and she adds that she watches for "eine klare Rollenverteilung," a clear division of roles, so the 2 functions stay distinct rather than blurring into one. The ceremony itself runs "zwischen 30 und 45 Minuten" by her own estimate, gets booked "9 bis 18 Monate im Voraus," 9 to 18 months ahead and especially early for the popular window between May and September, a noticeably wider lead time than the general 12-to-18-month planning window above. It is delivered in Hochdeutsch by default. On request she runs it bilingually, in Hochdeutsch and English or Hochdeutsch and French, a version she says suits international wedding parties best.

The English page the Zurich menu links to

Every page checked for this listing, including the Zurich page this listing is built from, carries the same main menu, and its fifth item reads "Wedding in Switzerland." Checked directly against the page's own markup, that link resolves to a genuine English page, treasuretime.ch/wedding-planner, titled "Getting Married in Switzerland," subtitled "Calm and personal wedding planning in Switzerland for international couples." It runs the same 4 tiers, the same free ceremonies, and the same CHF 100 and 10-to-15-percent figures, and it answers the exact question this tenant's readers ask first: "Do you also work with English-speaking and international guests? Yes. I speak fluent English, German and French and can communicate confidently with international guests and service providers." That matches what her About page says about herself, fluent in English and French through international experience, and it is repeated a third time on the German FAQ page: "Die Zusammenarbeit ist auf Deutsch, Englisch oder Französisch möglich."

So the assigned URL itself has no English toggle and never switches language: a couple who lands there and wants English has to notice that one menu item and click through to a page that is not city-specific at all, rather than finding an English version of the Zurich page itself. That gap is real. What is not real is a claim that no English content exists anywhere on the site: it has a complete page built specifically for an international audience, one click from every German page on the domain, including this one.

One crack in that page is worth naming plainly. It carries 2 client testimonials, from "Julie & Mike" and from "Sue & Thierry," and both are the same paragraph, word for word, down to the punctuation: a thank-you for a wedding day that was "warm, intimate and relaxed," signed off "Thank you Kristina. With Love." Whether one name was left in by mistake or the same message really was sent twice, the page as it stands repeats itself under 2 different signatures, and a careful reader will notice.

Zurich in the title, Aargau on the letterhead

The Impressum names the registered business address as Kesselackerstrasse 7a, 5611 Anglikon, a village in canton Aargau, and lists Kristina Storm as sole owner and managing director. That is a different canton from the one in this listing's own URL and title. The "Vorteile eines lokalen Wedding Planners in Zürich" section on the assigned page argues the case for hiring someone local: through local knowledge she can recommend the best suppliers, and she knows the area's nicest locations and its particular requirements. The Aargau page, where she is actually registered, runs almost the identical paragraph with the region swapped in, down to the same 3 claims in the same order: local knowledge, the best suppliers, the nicest locations. Locality is a template argument here, reused for the canton she actually operates from and for the one she markets to, in close to the same words. Her own national hub page settles which cantons she treats as her real base, and Zurich is not named first: "Mein Fokus liegt besonders auf den Kantonen Aargau, Zürich und Luzern," her focus is especially on Aargau, Zurich and Lucerne, in that order, and she runs a matching city-branded landing page for Lucerne too.

The Aargau page also promotes an appearance at the "Hochzeitsmesse Aargau am 20. September 2026," a plain, checkable sign of a business currently booking rather than an unmaintained site still sitting online.

None of this is a reason to hold back. A couple weighing Treasure Time gets a solo operator who names her training rather than just her title, who ran hospitality operations at resort scale before she ever planned a wedding, and whose own materials answer the one legal question this tenant's readers actually worry about, plainly and without being asked twice. Book her as celebrant and planner together and she says she keeps the 2 roles distinct rather than letting one swallow the other. The one adjustment worth making before reaching out is geographic: read "Zurich" in the page title as reach rather than as home base, and expect the first conversation, free and non-binding by her own description, to settle the rest.
