I’ve been a pastor since 2020. I trained at Hillsong College in Sydney, completed a B.A. in Theology in Germany and am ordained in the Federation of Free Pentecostal Churches (BFP). Week in, week out, I speak to between 100 and 800 people.
Whether it’s a wedding, a funeral or a day of celebration, I believe the right words can shape a moment forever. That’s why I make time for your story, your wishes and everything that matters to you.
Born and raised in Lörrach, I spent three years in Australia for my training before finding both my home and my wife, Rebecca, in Konstanz in 2018. Since we married in 2020, I’ve been bringing my calling and my work together here, walking alongside people as a pastor through the defining chapters of their lives.

“Silas Horváth guided us through our wedding as an independent celebrant and made our ceremony a truly special and personal experience. From the start he was always available and superbly organised, and he responded attentively to all our wishes. In the run-up, he took a lot of time to get to know my wife and me. This meant he was able to create a very personal, authentic and fitting wedding speech that suited us and our story perfectly. The entire ceremony ran smoothly and was warm and professional. His hosting before and after the ceremony was also assured and well coordinated. We are very grateful to have chosen Silas Horváth as our wedding celebrant and can recommend him unreservedly to any couple who would like a personal and authentic wedding ceremony.”
„Silas Horváth hat unsere Hochzeit als freier Redner begleitet und unsere Trauung zu einem ganz besonderen und persönlichen Erlebnis gemacht. Von Anfang an war er jederzeit erreichbar, hervorragend organisiert und ging aufmerksam auf all unsere Wünsche ein. Im Vorfeld nahm er sich viel Zeit, meine Frau und mich kennenzulernen. Dadurch gelang es ihm, eine sehr persönliche, authentische und angemessene Traurede zu gestalten, die perfekt zu uns und unserer Geschichte passte. Die gesamte Zeremonie verlief reibungslos, herzlich und professionell. Auch seine Moderation vor und nach der Trauung war souverän und gut abgestimmt. Wir sind sehr dankbar, Silas Horváth als unseren Trauredner gewählt zu haben, und können ihn allen Paaren, die sich eine persönliche und authentische Trauung wünschen, uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.“
