Celebrants and officiants for weddings

Gilles Soeder

Holzem, Luxembourg

I am Gilles Soeder, a celebrant and actor based in Luxembourg, specialising in secular wedding ceremonies. I work with couples who want an alternative to a religious wedding while preserving a solemn, meaningful framework for the couple and their families. I speak French, Luxembourgish, German, and English. As the director of your ceremony I act as partner and improvisor: I respond, set the rhythm of the event and adapt my performance to your personality, wishes and budget — including any touch of humour or playful character you want to share. Employing an actor allows me to embody a chosen persona while respecting the structure of a wedding. I am flexible about location and style: ceremonies can take place in a deconsecrated church, outdoors, at the reception venue or in more original stagings if you wish. I also help design and write your texts and speeches, drawing on existing writings or composing bespoke interventions. Many couples keep symbolic gestures drawn from religious rites — walking toward an “altar”, exchanging rings, speaking vows — and I can reinterpret these as mutual commitments rather than religious acts. If you want to bring freshness and conviviality to your wedding day, let’s talk: I will help you create a ceremony that reflects your image.

Henri Rasqué

Ell, Luxembourg

Henri Rasqué discovered the world of wedding and farewell ceremonies during his political engagement as an alderman and then mayor of the commune of Ell, Luxembourg. Aware of the deep emotional significance these unique moments hold, he naturally turned to organizing secular ceremonies beyond his public duties. With proven expertise in crafting and delivering speeches, Henri carefully and sensitively creates personalized ceremonies that tell your story and touch the heart. By choosing Henri Rasqué as your ceremony officiant, you benefit from warm and professional support in an environment suited to celebrating your commitment. The secular ceremony he offers allows couples the freedom to celebrate their union according to their wishes, independent from religious traditions or administrative constraints. Each speech is unique, reflects your journey, and includes the participation of your loved ones to make this moment even more memorable. This approach is ideal for those seeking a personal alternative to a religious wedding or wishing to complement their civil union with an intimate moment, flexible in terms of date, location, symbolic rituals, and musical atmosphere. If you have a clear vision and desire a celebration that reflects your personality, Henri will guide you to create an authentic, creative, and deeply personal ceremony where every detail tells your love story.

Guy Benzeno

Strassen, Luxembourg

My name is Guy Benzeno. I am a ceremony celebrant (master of ceremonies) based in Strassen, Luxembourg, and I support couples who want a secular, symbolic and fully personalized wedding ceremony. I offer to officiate your secular wedding ceremony and can also prepare your loved ones to take part in the service as officiants. My approach is to craft a celebration that reflects you, with texts, rituals and contributions chosen according to your wishes. I am a public-speaking coach and regularly serve as a moderator or master of ceremonies for corporate events. These skills, together with my experience as an actor and trainer in theatrical improvisation, allow me to design ceremonies that are both moving and smoothly run. Since 2010 I have been an ordained member of the clergy of the Église de l'Humanisme Spirituel; as an official celebrant I also have the authority to officiate legally binding marriages worldwide for couples holding a marriage license issued by a U.S. state.

My name is Mayalani Moes, please call me Lani. I am a celebrant specialising in non‑religious wedding ceremonies and have been writing and performing personalised ceremonies in Luxembourg since 2016. I turned what began as a hobby into a full‑time passion: helping couples celebrate their commitment with warmth, clarity and joy. I design highly customised ceremonies that reflect who you are as a couple. I take the time to listen, to learn your story and values, and to adapt every element to your wishes so the ceremony feels authentic and memorable. I plan and lead ceremonies with calm confidence, keeping the process stress‑free and even enjoyable for you and everyone involved. I speak Luxembourgish, English, German and French fluently, and I have basic Portuguese, so I can incorporate the languages that matter to you. Although I am based in Luxembourg, I am happy to travel for weddings outside the country (Hawaii, anyone?). What I offer: - Thoughtful, detail‑driven ceremony writing and guidance - Clear, open communication with you and any other participants - A commitment to creating a ceremony that truly reflects your relationship and values - Warm, joyful delivery — moments of laughter and likely a few happy tears If you are looking for a personalised, non‑religious ceremony performed with professionalism and heart, I would be honoured to help create your perfect ceremony.
