Carola Trenkle

Independent Wedding Celebrant Carola Trenkle

I’m a passionate listener and storyteller, I love dancing tango, cherish the Southern German way of life and have a soft spot for Berlin’s unique sense of humour.

As a child, my dream job was to become a flight attendant because I was curious about the whole world. At twenty, I left the Black Forest for vibrant Berlin to satisfy my appetite for big-city life.

As a freelance filmmaker and systemic coach, I’ve travelled extensively across the globe. After spending forty wonderful years in Berlin, I now live back in Southern Germany, in beautiful Freiburg. My childhood dream has more than come true.

I’ve also been happily married to my husband Matthias for over twenty years. As a professional musician, he not only performs classical music but also loves playing tango and swing.

Having experienced the highs and lows of a long-term relationship and family life myself, I can’t wait to hear your unique love story.

Your Wedding Ceremony with Carola

I simply love weddings!

As a little girl, I often walked down the aisle as the flower girl—usually a little too quickly, leaving the bride and groom almost jogging behind me. Today, as a wedding celebrant, I’ve been given a second chance. Together we’ll find exactly the right pace for your ceremony—and this time I’ll gently guide both of you, along with all your loved ones, through every beautiful moment.

I conduct ceremonies in German, English and Spanish—and, if you’d like, bilingually.

To tell your story in a way that truly feels like you, I take plenty of time to get to know you. I listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, laugh with you and create a safe space for everything you’d like to share. Of course, you always decide what becomes part of your ceremony, what stays private and what matters most to you.

Together we’ll plan every step of your ceremony. I’ll support and guide you throughout the process so you can enjoy your wedding day with complete peace of mind while I take care of all the details.

You can simply relax and place your trust in me.

I can’t wait to meet you.

Warm wishes,

Carola from Freiburg
