BABS/ WEDDING officiant

The wedding ceremony is one of the highlights of your big day, so it should feel absolutely perfect! As a wedding officiant (also known as a BABS in Dutch), I take your guests on a journey through your love story, making sure that by the time you say “I do,” everyone truly feels why you are a match made in heaven. Of course, this all happens in an enthusiastic and personal way, because your ceremony should be the exciting start of the celebration, not just something to sit through while waiting for the party to begin!

You can expect the following from me:

1.

Questionnaire

Three months before the ceremony, you will receive a comprehensive questionnaire to outline your love story and all your ceremony wishes.

2.

personal interview

A personal interview will follow, where we’ll discuss the details of your ceremony, your story, and your love for each other. Together, we’ll take a trip down memory lane to bring out the most beautiful moments.

3.

Perfectly Bespoke

Together, we’ll explore how to incorporate all your wishes, ideas, and stories into the ceremony. Loved ones giving a speech? No problem. Special ceremonies or rituals? Always a great addition. Together, we’ll uncover the unique details that will make your day truly unforgettable.

4.

Friends & Family

We also involve a few friends and family members who know you best. Their input helps me craft a ceremony that truly reflects who you are as a couple.

5.

Extra support

From marriage certificates to children's certificates and translations for international guests — everything is taken care of with love and attention. Need a little support with writing your vows or talking through any last-minute nerves? No worries, I’m here to guide you and offer a helping hand whenever you need it.

6.

The Ceremony

The ceremony I prepare will last about 45 minutes. During that time, you’ll make your entrance, I’ll warmly welcome everyone, and share your love story—so everyone can see just how perfect you are together. We’ll also shine a light on your witnesses, create space for personal vows, say the all-important “yes,” share a dazzling kiss, exchange rings, and of course, sign the official documents. We’ll wrap it all up with an uplifting song and lots of applause—a beautiful ending to a truly unforgettable ceremony.

ABOUT KELLY

Hi, so lovely to meet you! My name is Kelly, and I’m an independent wedding officiant and ceremony speaker.

I truly believe in love and love to celebrate life. That’s exactly why I enjoy this profession so much. I’m touched time and again when I get to dive into a couple’s memories and try to express their love in words. It’s incredibly special to be able to add something meaningful to such an unforgettable day.

My style is best described as heartfelt, enthusiastic, and genuine. You can expect a sparkling story full of recognition, humor, and love. One thing’s for sure: it will be anything but boring!

BABS FOR 1 DAY OF COACHING

YES! How exciting – you’ve been asked to officiate a wedding as a BABS. And of course, you said a wholehearted YES! But now what? How do you make sure the ceremony runs smoothly, that you look confident and prepared, and—most importantly—that it becomes a moment everyone remembers with a big smile?

With lots of love and experience, I’ll guide you through everything you need to know—what’s legally required, what’s possible, and how to make it truly personal. I’ll help you find your own style and voice for this special and honorable role.

In a two-hour one-on-one session, we’ll walk through The Perfect Yes Workbook full of insights, tips & tricks. After that, we’ll have a follow-up video session to go through your speech together and fine-tune the final details.

And in between? I’m always here to support you. Whether you want to bounce around ideas, ask questions, or just need a bit of reassurance, you can always call, message, or reach out. You’re not doing this alone!

ANNE & DUNA

Kelly has managed to describe us and our relationship exactly how it is. It was a story full of recognition, but brought in such a way that both we and our guests listened as if we were hearing a completely new love story. We also really liked the preparation in the weeks before. Kelly thought along and tailored the ceremony perfectly to our needs. It was exactly what we hoped for - a personal ceremony with humor and emotion. Thank you!

KATARINA & SHIVAM

It was absolutely amazing! Initially, we were planning to have the ceremony only at the Municipality, however, Kelly convinced us why having a ceremony at the venue with her was a good idea. She was absolutely right! The ceremony was the highlight of our wedding day and we enjoyed every minute of it. She took a lot of time to learn about us, answered all our questions, came prepared on the wedding day, and delivered a fantastic speech which was both fun and emotional.

JIM & MELANIE

From start to finish, in one word, it was amazing. Kelly is involved, thinks along and empathizes. The conversations beforehand were casual and pleasant. She completed the ceremony itself 100% according to our wishes and expectations. We couldn't have imagined our day better.

YAO & COEN

Thank you so much for delivering such a lovely and heartfelt speech at our wedding. You nailed it with your words, capturing exactly what I envisioned for our story and the vibe I wanted on our special day. Additionally, I appreciate your thoughtfulness in providing a Chinese version for my parents to enjoy.

OMAR & JOY

We are very happy that Kelly provided our ceremony. Despite the fact that we only saw each other a few times, there was a nice click. This made it look like our personal story was being told by a friend. She was very helpful and sweet, took the time for us and had a nice rest. She really made our day extra special.

PRISCILLA & MAXIM

We are so grateful that Kelly was able to be our wedding official. She was a really great addition to our big day and made everything so personal. She made our ceremony exactly as we hoped, with a lot of positivity and even exceeded our expectations. Really special.
