What a secular ceremony is, and why so many couples choose one in Belgium
Choosing a personalised secular ceremony in Belgium means giving your union a moment that truly reflects you. At Prestige Sound, our officiant Jessica — 15 years of experience and more than 120 ceremonies celebrated — orchestrates your ceremony from A to Z. Our exclusive concept : a private mobile app where each partner answers 19 intimate questions separately. Jessica analyses your answers, chooses one of our 4 styles (romantic, modern, classic or humorous) and writes a unique text. A trusted witness validates the text — the surprise stays complete until the day itself. Thanks to our portable Bose S1 Pro+ battery-powered sound system (11h autonomy) and our wireless microphones, we celebrate your union %s : in a forest, on the beach, in a castle or a secret garden. The %s lets you flow from ceremony to cocktail to party without a break. For extra emotion, add our %s who accompanies the ceremony for free before moving on to 2h of drinks reception.
The role of the celebrant: writing, then celebrating
A wedding celebrant does not read a text found online. Anthony starts by listening: each partner answers, separately and in our private app, 19 questions about how you met, your little habits, what you admire in each other. He then writes a unique script, in the style that suits you — romantic, modern, classic or with humour — and a trusted witness proofreads it to check the details. You discover your story on the day, together with your guests. On the day itself he holds the thread: welcome, speeches from loved ones, exchange of vows, ritual, exit. He hands over the microphone, reassures those who tremble in front of it and keeps the pace so the ceremony never sags. Anthony leads the ceremonies in English and Dutch; Jessica, 15 years of experience and more than 120 ceremonies, the French-language ones.
What is included, and what it costs
Our two packages are shown above with their « from » price, excluding VAT (6 % for the artistic service). Celebrant only includes the questionnaires, the bespoke script, a preparation video call, the coordination of the speakers and the ceremony itself; your venue provides the sound. The complete ceremony adds our portable, battery-powered Bose S1 Pro+ sound system with two wireless microphones — so no power socket needed — and a professional pianist playing live throughout the ceremony, from entrance to exit. A saxophonist or a violinist can be added for the ceremony and the drinks reception. When comparing quotes, look at what is included: with us, the preparation, the video calls and the coordination on the day are part of the price, with no hidden options.
Where we celebrate
Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, Leuven and the coast first, but we celebrate everywhere in Belgium, including Wallonia and the Ardennes, with Jessica for French-language ceremonies. Luxembourg and northern France are within driving distance. Because the sound runs on battery, a clearing in the woods, a beach or a boat pose no technical problem. And if your day continues with us, the same team follows on: ceremony, drinks reception with the saxophonist, then the party with the wedding DJ — one point of contact, one quote.
