Eliene Rijcken
Ceremony Officiant
About me
Welcome! I’m Eliene, a passionate 30-year-old ceremony officiant based in the beautiful city of Leuven. With a background in language and literature, I’m in love with words and their power to evoke emotion.
​
Whether it’s an intimate gathering or a grand event, I’m here to translate your story into words that resonate and stay with everyone present. My goal is to put you in the spotlight and help create the most beautiful day of your life. Let’s craft a ceremony together that not only celebrates your love, but also creates cherished memories for a lifetime.
​
Please feel free to contact me and let's take the first steps together towards an unforgettable ceremony.
Create your dream ceremony
with me
01
First meeting
We’ll start with a brief online chat to discuss your expectations and my approach. This is a no-strings-attached moment for you to ask questions and see if we’re a good fit. I look forward to meeting you!
02
True to your vision
If we click, we’ll dive deeper into your dream ceremony. I’ll interview you to get to know your story and discuss the ceremony structure: who will speak, what music to include, how long will the ceremony be?
03
True to your story
Based on our conversation and questionnaire responses from your closest family and friends, I craft your story. I also contact and coach the other speakers.
04
True to your moment
On your wedding day, I ensure the ceremony runs smoothly from beginning to end. I guide your guests through your fondest memories, personal anecdotes, and the beautiful future ahead.
After the celebration, you’ll receive the full written text of your ceremony.
Your story, in the language that fits
Are you planning an international celebration? I’d love to create a ceremony in English, or a bilingual ceremony in English and Dutch – so that everyone present feels truly included and connected. I believe a ceremony should reflect your story, in the language that feels right for you.
I would travel for love
Getting married abroad? I’d be happy to travel with you. Whether you’re dreaming of a vineyard wedding in Italy, a celebration in the mountains, or a beach ceremony elsewhere – I’ll make sure your story is told in a heartfelt, personal way, wherever you are.
They already said yes
Thanks to Eliene, our ceremony went smoothly. Together with our own speakers, she made it a beautiful and very personal whole. She knew how to place the right, nice accents in a smooth and light-hearted way.
