Wedding formats

Saying "I do" is the highlight of a very special day - and how you organize this moment makes all the difference. Whether it's a civil, free or church wedding: every wedding format tells its own story. The important thing is that it suits you - your style, your connection and how you feel.

The civil wedding ceremony - the official start to your life together

The civil wedding ceremony is the legal basis of every marriage and usually the first step towards a future together. It takes place at the registry office or at a location approved by the registry office - often at locations with a special style and atmosphere.
The process is clearly regulated, but that doesn't mean it has to be impersonal. Music, a short speech, your own vows or small gestures can make this moment individual and emotional. After you say "I do", you sign the vows - and your marriage is officially sealed. Many couples use this moment for a champagne reception or a joint start to the celebration.

The free wedding ceremony - personal, emotional, genuine

The free wedding ceremony is the format for all those who want a ceremony that feels completely their own - without guidelines, without boundaries, but with room for personality, humor and emotion. The wedding officiant gets to know you, writes down your story and creates a ceremony that touches you.
Whether in a stylish ambience or with a sweeping view - the free wedding ceremony can take place wherever it suits you. Music, rituals and personal words create an atmosphere full of closeness and lightness. You design the ceremony, the mood and the words entirely according to your ideas. This creates a moment that is authentic and will be remembered forever.

The church wedding ceremony - blessing, symbolism and depth

For many couples, a church wedding is a heartfelt wish. It combines the love of two people with faith and tradition. The solemn setting of a church, the sounds of the organ and the blessing give the ceremony a special depth that many couples find incomparable.
Depending on the denomination, the organization can be very different. In the Protestant church, the ceremony is often open and can be personalized - for example with your own music or intercessions. In the Catholic church, the sacramental character is more central. Both forms offer space for your style and values - from the wedding motto to the choice of hymns.

Three wedding formats for saying yes - and each has its own charm

Registry office: official, binding and the legal beginning of your marriage
Free: personal, creative and customizable
Ecclesiastical: solemn, traditional and supported by faith and symbolism
There is no right or wrong - only what feels right for you. Some couples also combine different formats: first a civil ceremony in a small circle, later a free or church wedding with family and friends. The important thing is that you feel comfortable with your decision and that it fits your story.

The perfect setting for your happiness

No matter what form you choose - the location will give your wedding ceremony its atmosphere. A free wedding ceremony on a rooftop terrace with a view of the skyline, a church wedding with a festive entrance or a stylish reception after the registry office: the setting makes the moment special.
Our event locations in Frankfurt offer you the perfect venue for this. Whether in the Westend Tower or in the Kreisler - both locations combine modern design, spacious areas and an inspiring view. Together with you, we will design the schedule, the decorations and the culinary concept. The result is an ambience that perfectly suits your wedding ceremony - in the middle of the city and yet far away from the ordinary.
