Hi, hallo, hola!

I’m Maayke,

Ceremony speaker, storyteller, and heartfelt connector.
I don’t just dot the i’s – I find the meaning behind them.
I listen with my heart wide open to every word, to the quiet in between and the words left unspoken. Curious, devoted and full of joy. I seek the story behind the story, the feeling beneath the words.

Let's meet!

I live in the lovely town of Huizen with my love, Eelco, and our two amazing kids Duuk and Felien. We’re lucky to be surrounded by woods, water, and wide open skies – and I’m outside as much as I can be. On my (racing)bike, wandering through the forest or skating on frozen lakes when winter comes calling.

I’m all for long, laughter-filled evenings with good food and the people I love most.

Southern Spain has truly stolen my heart –para siempre– and recently, something unexpected did too: camping! With our brand-new folding trailer, this former non-camper has become a true campista feliz. Who would’ve thought?

The perfect ceremony

A couple, deeply in love, fully present in the moment – listening to their own love story come to life. A smile, a tear, a glance that says “yes, that’s us.” A little one who just wants to sit up front with daddy, a proud grandmother offering the rings and music so beautiful, it touches every heart in the room.

I turn your love into words and share them during the ceremony with warmth, compassion, a bit of humor and with the upmost respect to your love story.

Have I already told you how much joy that brings me?

“I love you, and that’s the beginning and end of everything”

F. Scott Fitzgerald
