As a wedding celebrant and pastor based in Konstanz, I’ll create your ceremony anywhere around Lake Constance, in the Hegau or in Switzerland – outdoors, at your dream venue or even in a church. A ceremony that sounds 100% like you.
Hi, I’m Silas. I’ve been married since 2020 and have worked as a pastor for just as long, which has given me the privilege of being part of lots of weddings in all shapes and sizes. Marriage is incredibly precious to me, so I’m thrilled you’ve decided to say ‘I do’!
Get in touch and let’s find out together whether you’d like to plan your wedding ceremony with me.
Whether you’re looking for a wedding celebrant or an officiant, it’s the same thing. As a wedding celebrant based in Konstanz, I travel all around Lake Constance – from Radolfzell, Singen and Überlingen to Friedrichshafen, Ravensburg and Lindau, and across the border to Kreuzlingen, Schaffhausen, Winterthur and Zurich. In English, in German or bilingually.
Free and with no obligation – in person over a coffee, or just as easily on a video call. We’ll see whether we click.
I get to know your story: how did you meet? What makes you who you are? A questionnaire and two conversations give me everything I need to write a speech that’s all about you.
I write your speech and plan your ceremony so that both really suit you: with your story, the things that matter to you and your own rituals. You decide whether to include elements of church tradition or keep it secular.
I arrive in good time and coordinate with the venue and the musicians. After that, my full attention is on you and your moment.
Still need music, photography or AV equipment for your celebration? I’m happy to recommend tried-and-tested suppliers from my network. Just ask.
You’ll also find me on Hochzeitsportal Bodensee, the directory of wedding suppliers around the lake.
No. You decide how much faith has a place in your ceremony, from none at all to a great deal. That’s the whole idea of a celebrant-led ceremony: you’re free to make it your own.
Yes. Kreuzlingen is right next door to Konstanz, and Frauenfeld, Schaffhausen, Winterthur, St. Gallen and Zurich are all within my area. In Switzerland, too, only the civil ceremony at the register office is legally binding; the celebrant-led ceremony is your personal celebration alongside it.
Lake Constance is my home, but I’m happy to be wherever your special moment takes place, from the shores of Lake Constance to a destination wedding abroad. We can go through the details in person.
That depends on the scale of your celebration, which is why I don’t quote flat fees. Let’s get to know each other with no obligation, and then you’ll receive a fair, transparent quote.
Popular dates (May–September, Saturdays) are often taken a year in advance. But do get in touch at any time – sometimes things work out at short notice, too.
In Germany, only the civil ceremony at the registry office is legally binding. A celebrant-led ceremony is your own personal celebration, with no set rules. As an ordained pastor, I can also lead it in a church if you wish – the best of both worlds.
As a rule, you should allow 40 to 50 minutes. That’s the perfect amount of time to give your story the space it deserves without stretching your guests’ attention. In the end, though, your running order sets the pace – we’ll shape everything around your rhythm.
Don’t worry, you’re covered! I’m part of the celebrant agency Pastor2Go and know lots of fellow celebrants and pastors in the region, so I have a strong network behind me. In an absolute emergency, a stand-in can be arranged for your ceremony.
Yes, absolutely! Thanks to my time abroad, I speak fluent English. Whether you’d like a ceremony entirely in English or a smooth back-and-forth between German and English so that your international guests can follow every moment, we’ll do it exactly the way that suits you.
Tell me a little about your wedding and I’ll get back to you personally to arrange a free get-to-know-you chat.
Thank you so much for your enquiry!
I’ll get back to you personally within 24–48 hours.
