Secular wedding celebrant in Switzerland or abroad
As a wedding celebrant (also called officiant), I created a unique service for your ceremony, that allows you to have a completely personalized secular wedding in Switzerland.
This is your special moment and I am here to guide you through all the necessary steps to make your celebration as meaningful as can possibly be. And above all... True to yourself.
My goal is to give you the ceremony that you’ve always dreamed of. I am here to adapt to your wishes, and to help you share your beliefs and values.
My services are here for every culture, every tradition, LGBT’s, and couples wanting a renewal of vows. Let’s go through this journey together to make this day unforgettable.
My name is Marylin and I am the founder of A Lovely Day. I’ve become coach and humanist celebrant (wedding celebrant) following the conception of my own wedding secular ceremony.
Planning my wedding in 2013 triggered a revelation as these questions kept occurring: Why is it so complicated to get married in a non-religious way? And how do I have a more personal and unique ceremony than one given by the registry office? This is where my adventure began.
With my discovered passion for weddings and my love for writing, I realized that I could use my own experience to help couples create their own unique, intimate and tailor-made wedding ceremonies, or renewal of vows. This is how I became a full-time wedding celebrant, and I could’ve never asked for anything better.
Since then, I have worked with dozens of couples, providing them with beautiful words for the most loving ceremonies. I aim to create a romantic and original atmosphere, and make every celebration as authentic as possible to give newlyweds, their families and friends an unforgettable experience.
Additionally, I speak five languages, including English, Spanish, German, Italian and my mother tongue of French. Therefore, I find it very important to understand and immerse myself into your culture and traditions so that I can build the connections with you to provide you with a ceremony of your dreams.
Naturally, after the birth of my baby in 2016, I decided to introduce a secular baby naming ceremony, to give you the opportunity to celebrate the birth of your child in a non-religious manner.
I can promise you the most beautiful and perfect ceremony and I assure you that I will not disappoint. Let my passion in love and writing give you the ceremony of your dreams.
One of the great things about secular ceremonies is that they have no rules, no obligations, and they aren’t regulated by any laws. Therefore, a secular ceremony can take place anywhere. This is a great opportunity to choose a place that you love, a place that will reflect the beautiful relationship that you and your […]
This was a day like no other. I will be forever grateful for being asked to be the celebrant of this amazingly beautiful ceremony. It was an unforgettable day filled with so much love. These are the kind of memories that will last a lifetime. December 12th, 2016: Wedding planner, Laura Dova, contacted me, and […]
I’ve already discussed some musical ideas for the entrance to the ceremony, so how about we discuss some ideas for the exit? The exit music is also an important aspect of a wedding ceremony; it will be the first thing you hear as you exit the ceremony as a married couple. Therefore, this style of […]

We were over the moon with our ceremony which went exactly as we wanted it to. Our guests were also delighted, and it inspired quite a few of those present. The speech was perfect and just what we as a couple had in mind. The personal touches were spot on. We have no hesitation in recommending your services.

Hi Marylin, our month of coaching together is at an end and it feels quite strange. I don’t doubt for a second that you will be successful. You are enthusiastic, hard-working, generous, ambitious, realistic, optimistic, organised, full of drive and curiosity. You are made for this profession, it shows, people sense it, it’s as clear as day. It would be fantastic if all my clients were like you, because you were really a pleasure to work with. Your clients are very lucky people. And those who place their trust in you won’t be disappointed!
