Your love, your ceremony
your wedding ceremony should feel like you – warm, heartfelt and full of the moments that matter. A little laughter, a few happy tears and everything in between.
This is the moment where your story comes together: the emotions, the memories, the reasons you chose each other.
I close my eyes and I can already picture you: sitting side by side, beautifully dressed, hands softly intertwined, a spark of excitement in the air. A little nervous, a lot in love.
I smile, breathe with you, and let your story unfold – words that capture who you are, where you’ve been, and the love that brought you here.
I watch your shoulders relax, the tension melt away, and you sink into the moment. Because this is it.
Your ceremony. Your story. Your wedding.
Welcome at your weddingday
What can I do for you?
Your wedding ceremony
Your ceremony is the heart of your wedding day. Intimate, romantic, grand or somewhere in between – I create a celebration that feels truly you.
Ceremonial or official wedding
Whether you choose a ceremonial wedding or a legal marriage, the moment itself will feel exactly the same. The ceremony we create will look, feel and truly be the moment you get married – for you and your guests.
Multilingual ceremonies
The ceremony can be held in Dutch, English and even (partly) in Spanish if you’d like. Fully tailored to you and your guests. We will make sure everyone will feel included and can understand the ceremony.
Wedding coordinator/MC
Would you like all your guests to enjoy the day without worrying about practical details? Then I can also be your wedding coordinator or MC. Hand over all tasks with confidence – I’ll take care of everything so you can relax and fully enjoy your day.
The wedding ceremony
It’s the moment you say “I do,” exchange your vows, sign your certificate of love and celebrate the start of your marriage with those closest to you.
Are children attending? Great! I can prepare a special certificate for them so they feel part of the celebration.
Guests speaking other languages? Let’s explore the best way to help them follow and feel included in your ceremony.
Together we can make it unforgetabble.
A ceremonial wedding can take place anywhere – in the Netherlands or abroad.
No rules, no time limits, no restrictions. Just your love story, exactly as you want it.
Perfect for couples living outside the Netherlands or those who can’t have a legal wedding here.
And don’t worry: your ceremony will look, feel and be just like a legal wedding – for you and your guests.
Getting married ceremonial
Many couples choose a simple legal marriage at the town hall, here or in their home country, and celebrate their true moment later with a personalised ceremony. A ceremony led by someone who takes the time to honour their love with meaningful, heartfelt words.
The beauty of a ceremonial wedding? Complete freedom. No rules, no time limits; just music, emotion and a sparkling “I do” in the setting that feels right for you.
If you’d like me to perform the legal part as well, this is often possible with a one-day appointment as wedding officiant (BABS for one day). Simply mention it during our introduction meeting and we’ll explore the options in your wedding municipality together.
How does it work?
We will be in close contact and I’m happy to travel across the country to meet you. I would like to know a lot about you, your love, quirks, shared dreams, differences, inside jokes and the small things that matter.
This is what our journey looks like — in short
♥ A (no-obligation) introduction – preferably in person in the ’t Gooi area, but online works just as well.
♥ A connection? Yes! Then we start creating your dream ceremony together.
♥ Homework time – you’ll receive “Liefdeswoorden” booklets filled with meaningful questions.
♥ In-depth conversation – 6 to 8 weeks before the wedding we will meet to refine details, nuances and all the finishing touches.
♥ Input from family & friends – only if you’d like, of course.
♥ Writing your ceremony – this is where the magic happens. I pour your love into words.

We are so incredibly grateful that Maayke led our ceremony! From the very first moment, it felt right. Maayke truly took the time to get to know us, thought along with us every step of the way, and was always there whenever we needed her.
During the ceremony, she managed to touch not only us, but all of our guests -with the perfect balance of humor and emotion. With her warm voice, radiant smile, and natural way of speaking, she captivated everyone from start to finish.
We laughed, we cried, and above all, we deeply enjoyed every moment.
Afterwards, we received so many compliments about her! Many guests even thought Maayke was a close friend or family member, because the story she told was so personal and full of love.
Maayke made our day truly unforgettable. She is a true professional with a big heart, and we would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.
Hi, I’m Maayke

Words of love, for unforgettable moments.
