Tipps und Entscheidungshilfen für die Ausbildungswahl

If you would like to become a wedding speaker, you can complete a wedding speaker training course and start your career regardless of your previous professional training. Many such training courses also prepare you for conducting ceremonies for other occasions or for other tasks as a speaker, such as inauguration or welcome speeches.

One thing is for sure: the job is anything but monotonous and boring. You accompany a wide variety of couples before and on the most important day of their lives. In order to give a suitable speech in line with the client's expectations, you need to be well prepared. It is therefore important to get to know the couple well in advance and to have a good idea of what kind of speech they would like. Can it be humorous? Would they like to include their love story? What connects the two people who are about to say "I do"? What do they love about each other? Is there a theme for the wedding reception? If, for example, a Viking wedding is planned, it is essential that the speaker deals with the theme and incorporates it into the ceremony and the speech.

If you want to become a wedding officiant, you first and foremost need a flair for ceremonies and weddings, a large dose of creativity and a lot of joy in dealing with people. It is also very important that you enjoy standing and speaking in front of people and are not easily flustered when everyone around you is nervous on this important day or when something unplanned happens. In wedding speaker training, you will learn how to prepare and deliver emotional speeches and how to deal professionally with the bridal couple. Most courses also include marketing so that participants can market their services well and obtain orders after successful completion.

The wedding speaker training usually lasts a few days, spread over a period of a few weeks. Many courses are also offered hybrid or online. In addition, many schools also offer further advice and coaching so that newly qualified wedding speakers have more confidence when it comes to their first assignments.

Questions and answers

After successfully completing the wedding speaker training, you will earn between CHF 1,500 and 2,500 per assignment. These costs include 2-3 preliminary talks and the wedding ceremony.

You can become a wedding officiant without any specific previous training and regardless of age by attending a wedding officiant training course. These usually last a few days, spread over a few weeks or months, and are sometimes held in hybrid form or online. Upon successful completion, participants receive a certificate from the school and - depending on what the school offers - are coached by the instructors during their first independent assignments.

The profession of wedding officiant is not a protected professional title. Nevertheless, it is possible to carry out this activity on a full-time or part-time basis. It is important to market your services well. When choosing the right wedding officiant training course, it is therefore advisable to ensure that marketing is also part of the training content. Alternatively, you can attend a separate seminar or course on positioning and marketing.

Yes, basically anyone can become a wedding speaker. The important thing is that you enjoy speaking in front of people, that you are creative, can keep calm even in hectic moments and have a flair for love stories, ceremonies, weddings and people.
