Yvonne Veenstra-Zoer
Yes, I’d love to… be your wedding officiant!
I’m Yvonne, 54 years young, mom to a beautiful daughter, and I got married 11 years ago. That was a wonderful, unforgettable, and romantic experience! I spend my free time hiking, reading, and enjoying the company of those around me. I work for the Opsterland municipality in the Services Department, and as a civil registrar, I’ve officiated at weddings and civil partnerships. In addition, I’m often asked by friends to officiate weddings in a contemporary style.
Why become a marriage officiant?
It would be a great honor for me to be able to contribute in this way to “the happiest day of your lives.” The most important thing is that you, as the bride and groom, take center stage.
Why me?
With a willingness to listen and a warm heart, I look forward to hearing your love story—one that touches the heart, feels relatable, and adds a golden glow to this unforgettable day.
How?
Our collaboration begins with an introductory phone call. About a month before the wedding, we’ll meet at your home. We’ll take the time to get to know each other better, discuss your wishes, and discover what makes you unique as a couple. The speech can be delivered in either Dutch or Frisian.
Good luck!
I wish you all the best and, above all, hope you have fun as you continue to prepare for your big day. I look forward to seeing you—see you soon!
These three things will always remain: faith, hope, and love; but love is the greatest of these.
1 Corinthians 13:13
