In a relaxed atmosphere on the beach or pompous with lots of glitter: a free wedding ceremony is made for you, not for the registry office. All of our couples frequently ask questions about this topic. We have collected them and answered the 5 most common ones for you here. Voilà, here we go:

Does a free wedding ceremony at the lake replace a civil wedding?

No. A free wedding is a ceremony without the church and without the state. It alone has no validity before the law. Even if you prefer a free wedding ceremony, you will still have to go to the registry office. However, you can, for example, have a small ceremony with just the witnesses and then invite all family members and friends to the location for a free wedding ceremony. Incidentally, you do not need any documents such as birth certificates for a free wedding ceremony.

Where in the location will the free wedding ceremony take place?

amSee currently offers you two spots for a free wedding ceremony: our lakeside terrace and the terrace on the upper deck. The latter offers a fantastic view over the lake and the nature reserve and is a wonderfully elegant location for a free wedding ceremony by the lake. Under the sun canopy, you can let the lake breeze blow around your nose and experience a romantic ceremony full of emotion. A wedding ceremony directly on the lake on our sandy terrace is also wonderful. Sand under your feet, the deep blue lake in front of you: there’s no better way to start your future together!

Do I have to take care of the furniture such as chairs & wedding arch myself?

The Eventlocation amSee already offers you beautiful wedding furniture for your free wedding ceremony1. This includes vintage-style white wedding chairs for you and your guests and a table for your wedding speaker. You can also use a high-quality, handmade wedding arch and incorporate it into your individual wedding setting with your own decorations or floral arrangements.

Who organizes the wedding speaker?

This is in the hands of the wedding couple or their wedding planner. When choosing the person who will give the wedding speech, it is important to consider whether a certain world view or religious affiliation should be taken into account. As a location, we cannot discuss such individual questions for our couples.

How long does the free wedding ceremony at the lake last?

A free wedding ceremony at the lake usually lasts 30 to 60 minutes. It usually takes place as a ceremonial highlight at the very beginning of the wedding celebration at the location. The party can then start with a champagne reception, delicious food and great music.

... and the most important question: How do I secure my appointment?
