Our celebrants
About us
Paul, Jonas, Ulf and Claire, our team of wedding celebrants create a personalised ceremony for you and your loved ones. Your wedding ceremony is the time when you celebrate your love and make a lifelong commitment before each other, your family and friends. Whether large or small, traditional or free-spirited, we guide you every step of the way. Together, we create a beautiful, memorable and heartfelt ceremony.
Paul Archer - Celebrant
“As your celebrant, I never forget that your ceremony is all about you. From our first conversations you can be sure that I will take the time to get to know you, both individually and as a couple, so your ceremony expresses the love that has brought you to your Big Day, and looks forward to your future together.
I will give you guidance on creating the right ceremony for you, sharing ideas, and making sure that your ceremony is exactly how you wish it to be in style and tone, so that it is meaningful but also light-hearted in the right places. The words will be well-chosen, evocative and eloquent; after all, I have spent a lifetime crafting the right words as an Oxford graduate in English, translator and published poet.
On the day, you can rely on me to be a reassuring presence so you can feel at ease and be able to enjoy every single moment. I will also ensure your guests are drawn into the warm atmosphere, so they feel involved and uplifted. Together we will create an unforgettable ceremony with you, as the couple, at its very heart.”

Jonas Verner-Carlsson – Celebrant
“Over the course of many years in corporate communications I’ve helped companies and the people who work for them, to express themselves with clarity and originality. As a celebrant, what’s most important to me is understanding the essence of who you are as a couple. With this understanding, we can create a ceremony to help share this special quality with all your guests.
I help to provide guidance and creative support to make your ceremony unique. On the day, I’m a guiding hand, helping you to feel calm, prepared and composed. That way, you can focus on the feelings and emotions on this special day.
The very essence of every wedding ceremony is celebrating love. This explains why for me it is so stimulating and joyful to be a wedding celebrant. Together we bring a combination of structure and fluidity to this ancient, magical ritual, as well as poetry, music and a lightness of heart.”

Ulf Bernström – Celebrant
“I come from Lapland in the North of Sweden, and have lived in Mallorca since 2003. I’ve worked in entertainment and event management for the last 30 years so I have a good understanding of what goes into making an event a success. Personally, what I love most is being the celebrant and helping to make this wonderful moment in a couple’s life happen.
Over the last few years, I’ve had the opportunity to do many ceremonies, for small and large groups, at many different locations in Mallorca, and for a range of different nationalities– and I still love it!
I also have a background as a singer and I still sing professionally. Sometimes couples include my songs in the the service, which is quite an experience !”

Claire Hyde – Celebrant
“Words are so powerful – they can make us profoundly happy, express our deepest emotions or move us to tears. I love working with couples to help find the right ones to convey how you feel, as you make your commitment to each other in your ceremony.
Before moving to Mallorca, I was Head of Communications/PR at a number of arts organisations in London -Kew Gardens, the Barbican and the National Maritime Museum/Royal Observatory Greenwich to name a few. I’ve always had a passion for communication and my previous career involved writing speeches, training colleagues to give interviews and making presentations. I also guest-lectured on communications at Birkbeck College to students entering the arts world. Working in the arts was a great way to gather wonderful readings about love from the world’s great dramatists and poets. I’ve also been involved in training wedding celebrants here in Mallorca over the last seven years.
Having organised many weddings here during my years as a wedding planner means that I understand every aspect of your day, from the logistics and timings, to the etiquette of the bridal party procession so I can guide you through your ceremony, each step of the way so that you can relax and enjoy every moment.”
Dhani SPILLER - CELEBRANT
I teach leaders and entrepreneurs to turn their vision into reality, and as a celebrant, I carry that same passion into crafting ceremonies that resonate deeply with who you are.
With years of experience as a facilitator, coach, and public-speaking trainer I’ve helped people—from business founders to international development leaders—find and express their authentic voice. I’ve worked across the globe—from Copenhagen and Valencia to Rwanda, Sudan, Afghanistan, and Mexico—supporting individuals in capturing the essence of their story and communicating it with conviction and clarity.
As your celebrant, I’ll listen—deeply and intuitively—to uncover the heart of your connection. Together we'll craft a ceremony that is organized and polished, yet alive with spontaneity, warmth, and surprise. Whether it’s weaving poetic language, laughter, or poignant moments, my aim is to co-create a celebration that reflects your unique journey.
Bringing structure, fluidity, and a storyteller’s touch to this timeless ritual is for me a heartfelt privilege and pure joy. I believe every wedding should feel like the true story of you -spoken with intent, felt with love, and remembered with meaning.

Nicola HOLDEN– Celebrant
Over the course of many years in design, facilitation, and storytelling, I’ve helped people and organisations bring their ideas to life with meaning and imagination. As a celebrant, what matters most to me is understanding the heart of who you are as a couple. With that understanding, we can create a ceremony that feels intimate, beautiful, and unmistakably yours.
I offer creative support and gentle guidance to help you shape a ceremony that reflects your story and your values. On the day itself, I am a calm, steady presence - there to hold the space so you can feel grounded, present, and free to experience the emotions of the moment.
The heart of any wedding is love. For me, it is a deep joy and privilege to help celebrate that love with grace, warmth, and a touch of magic. Together we’ll find the balance of structure and spontaneity that makes your ceremony feel timeless, soulful, and alive.

José Miquel Bisquerra Venegas - Celebrant
Born and brought up in Mallorca and living in Palma, I am a performer and musician with a deep love of words and music. Warm and gregarious, I love to shape the perfect phrase for your story, create the right mood at your ceremony and engage your guests with an empathetic and inclusive style.
As an performer and musician, I have worked in the arts for over a decade, specialising in theatre and music. In my professional life, I worked for a whisky distillery for many years while also pursuing my artistic work. I founded my own theatre company, for which I have written and staged many productions with the ensemble in Palma. I now also study music at Palma Musical Conservatory, where I play piano and guitar, and study voice and composition.
As your celebrant, I'm quick to pick up on the important things about you as a couple and to capture the special qualities of your relationship in your ceremony. As an experienced performer, I put you and your guests at ease so that you can relax and savor every moment, as you enter this new life phase together.

Nicolas Neufcourt - celebrant
I was born in Paris but grew up in Morocco, close to Marrakesh. This has helped me to see life with a different perspective and given me a deep appreciation of the natural world. I returned to France to study law, but chance led me to a career in photography.
For x years I worked with designers, magazines and agencies in Paris and New York. As part of a creative team, I was involved with many innovative -and some award-winning- campaigns, before moving to Mallorca in 1998 so that my chidren could experience something of the freedom I enjoyed as a child.
Through my photography experience, I like to look at familiar things with fresh eyes and bring a new perspective to them. Through my regular meditation and yoga practice, I also bring a sense of calmness and a touch of spirituality to my work as a celebrant.

Bernd Filsinger- Celebrant Co-ordinator
“I look after the administration of our celebrants so they can focus on what they do best. I’m really proud of our team – their professionalism, experience and warmth are second to none. They are brilliant at words, both in terms of writing them and delivering them to audiences.
We speak five languages: English, German, Swedish, French and Spanish.
I’m your first point of contact and arrange for you to talk to your celebrant. I’m also on hand if you have any questions during the process.
The strength of our team means that if one of them were to fall ill (extremely unlikely though that may be!), we can provide a another celebrant at short notice so that everything go ahead as planned.
Our fee includes our wedding celebrants working with you on all the details of your ceremony, including timings, music, your vows and readings. We also offer additional elements such as a wine box ceremony.
Although our principal focus is on wedding and vow renewal ceremonies, the skills of our team in public speaking mean that they can also be hired for other events including Master of Ceremonies roles.
Whether you are just starting out on your wedding journey, working with a venue or self-planning, contact us here to discuss your ceremony.
