Inna Winter As a freelance wedding officiant, she’ll guide you with a clear focus on what really matters: your story. No cookie-cutter concepts. No rigid routines. Instead, she’ll use heartfelt words to create a custom wedding ceremony that feels like you. She doesn’t just listen—she pays close attention. Even if you yourselves don’t quite know yet what you want to say, or if your story might seem a little chaotic.
Heartfelt Words for Your Wedding
That’s exactly what makes Inna’s speeches so special. They’re personal, relatable, and told in a way that lets you truly see yourselves in them. Not overly polished. Not overly romanticized. Just genuine. As a wedding speaker in Upper Bavaria, she creates space for everything that makes your wedding special—for loud laughter, for spontaneous moments, and for emotions that are simply allowed to happen.
Non-Religious Wedding Ceremonies with a Personal Touch
She doesn't believe in forcing love into rigid molds or conducting a wedding ceremony according to traditional rules. Instead, she wants to understand what your relationship is like. How you love each other. What connects you. From there, she creates a non-traditional wedding ceremony that feels lighthearted, remains personal, and honestly reflects your relationship.
For her, spontaneous moments deserve just as much attention as the big, emotional ones. After all, it’s often precisely these unplanned moments that make a wedding special. With her, no couple has to pretend to be someone they’re not or live up to any expectations. That’s exactly what makes her work as a wedding officiant so special: words that tell your story without distorting it.
Are you nervous about having a non-religious wedding ceremony?
Of course I am. Before every wedding. Every time, right before I start, I think: I hope everything comes across exactly as I feel it. I hope it touches you. I hope it becomes your moment, exactly. And then I say the first sentence—and from that moment on, everything else disappears. Then I just fly. I’m completely in the flow, completely immersed in your story, and I forget everything around me. I love that exact moment when suddenly the whole room is listening, laughing, falling silent, or someone is secretly wiping away a tear. And honestly? If I weren’t excited, it probably just wouldn’t matter to me anymore.
How did you become a wedding officiant?
I was probably pushed into it when I was just a little girl. My mom took me to every party and forced me to perform something: recite a poem, sing a little song, dance—anything. And as a kid, I hated it. Today I have to laugh about it, because that’s exactly what eventually became my passion. I love being in front of people. I love creating a lively atmosphere, getting people involved, evoking emotions, and filling a room without having to be anyone else. And I think that’s exactly the point: I’m not pretending to be someone else. I’m just being myself, and that’s exactly what allows me to tell love stories today.
Who are you as a wedding officiant?
That’s a good question. Others can probably answer it better than I can, but I’ll give it a try. I think I’m someone who feels things very deeply. I love to laugh, I’m a good listener, I pick up on moods quickly, and I put my whole heart into whatever I’m doing. I can be loud and celebrate, but I can just as easily become quiet when the moment calls for it. I accept people as they are—without pigeonholing them or judging them. And maybe that’s exactly my greatest strength: with me, no one has to be anyone other than themselves, whether in real life or at their own wedding.
