How to get married in Holland
From June 4th 2021 the first episode of the podcast ‘How to get married in Holland’ can be enjoyed on Spotify and iTunes. This English podcast aims at engaged internationals who want to celebrate their wedding in The Netherlands.
All steps leading up to the wedding ceremony
Podcast hosts are Daphne van den Boogaard and Jasperien Meinhardt, both appointed wedding officiants and ceremonial speakers: “For foreign couples it is often quite a challenge to take the right steps for their Dutch wedding. In this podcast couples are guided through the maze of rules and the different wedding possibilities in a comprehensive and fun way. "
Where to start and what possibilities do you have, when you are an expat, international or a couple living abroad, and when you have decided that you would like to get married in The Netherlands? Can you have a legitimate civil wedding, even though you reside in a different country? What elements does a Dutch wedding ceremony consist of? “International couples run into this type of questions” according to Daphne and Jasperien. “For us as experienced wedding officiants this is all very easy, but if you are getting married, everything is new - let alone when it is in a different country”.
In their bi-weekly podcast, the two female wedding officiants will give an insight into all the steps that need to be or can be taken; from the legal requirements and Dutch traditions, to personal details, practical tips and stories of real weddings. Daphne & Jasperien: “It is our goal to ensure that international couples know the way to their Dutch wedding ceremony, so that the preparation will also be a celebration.”
