Picture this: a mountaintop, the sun setting behind snow-capped peaks, just the two of you, your love illuminated in this breathtaking moment. An elopement is a powerful declaration of your bond, a deeply personal experience designed just for you.
As your elopement officiant, I’ll make this process effortless and extraordinary. You wish to escape the noise of tradition and create something intimate, a celebration that truly mirrors your souls.
Together, we’ll craft an experience that speaks to your hearts and captures the essence of your connection. The ceremony will be the heart of it all ; not just an event, but a transformative moment that will stay with you forever.
Every couple has a story worth telling, and yours will be told with depth, emotion, and truth. Are you ready to highlight your love story? Let’s embark on this adventure together, a celebration that will resonate in your hearts forever.
THE HEART OF YOUR ELOPEMENT
Why the Ceremony Matters
Your elopement isn’t merely an escape — it’s the celebration of your love in its purest form. The ceremony is its sacred heart, where your bond is sealed through words, gestures and vows that hold deep meaning. It’s where you pause and feel the depth of what you’re creating together — turning your adventure into something timeless and unforgettable.
As your celebrant, I don’t just officiate. I craft a deeply personal experience that reflects your essence and the story you share — a ceremony woven from truth, emotion, and beauty.
Where Can You Have an Elopement Ceremony in Switzerland?
Anywhere your heart desires.
The beauty of an elopement lies in its freedom: to dream, to choose, to simply be. Whether you’re adventurous souls seeking mountain trails or dream of exclusive luxury, I’ll accompany you wherever your love takes you.
Switzerland offers an endless canvas of breathtaking backdrops.
Picture the Matterhorn rising behind you above sunny Zermatt, or a colorful autumn adventure surrounded by golden hues and mountain light. Exchange your vows on a boat gliding across lake Geneva near Lausanne, or fly by helicopter to a secluded glacier in the Berner Oberland. Imagine standing among the vineyards of Lavaux, celebrating in a prestigious palace in Geneva.
And if your hearts call you elsewhere, I’ll follow you to any corner of the world that holds meaning for you both. Because your love story deserves to be celebrated where it feels most alive.

Kind Words
“We travelled from Australia to marry in Switzerland. Coordinating such an event was far more complicated than either of us had anticipated however your involvement was one part of the process that was delightfully uncomplicated – You were accommodating, kind, thoughtful and gave us ample opportunity to make sure our day and the ceremony were everything we wanted it to be. Your English was wonderful and we found her accent lovely – it really added something unique. Our ceremony was nothing less than exceptional, thanks to your involvement and ideas. You brought our dreams to life and we cannot find the right words to express our gratitude. You were even kind enough to suggest and arrange the materials for a sweet part of the ceremony so we would have a momento to take home with us, which we appreciated a lot.You were patient and able to answer all of the questions we had. We did not have the opportunity to meet in person prior to the ceremony, speaking only via Skype call, however this was all you needed and you happily accommodated all of our requests. Thank you Marylin for being a part of our big adventure!”
