Who am I
I am Manuela – celebrant, listener, storyteller.
What drives me is not the spotlight. It is the moment when two people feel truly seen. When their story, with all its depth, its quirks and its humour, has been shaped into words that feel exactly right.
I work with heart and with intention. With style and yet warmth, empathy and precision. Always with a clear sense of what will make your ceremony truly carry.
How I live
When I am not crafting ceremonies, I am in the mountains. Running, hiking, climbing or on skis. Most often with my husband and our two sons. The mountains give me what I need: space, energy and a sense of what truly matters.
That is exactly what I bring to my work. The conviction that in life, as in a good ceremony, it is the moments that you feel most deeply that matter above all else.
How I work
I listen. Attentively, patiently, even between the lines.
With over 170 speeches written and more than 120 ceremonies celebrated, I know what makes the difference between a moment that is merely witnessed and one that is truly felt.
As a wedding celebrant and trainer for future celebrants, I bring not only experience but also the commitment to approach every ceremony with fresh eyes and to develop it together with you.
No two speeches are alike. Because no two love stories are alike.
