What This Wedding Season Has Taught Me About Love and Personal Ceremonies
This wedding season has taken me to some very different places. I have had the privilege of accompanying a wedding in the Austrian mountains, a ceremony in a barn and another in a beautifully restored castle. In Gran Canaria, I have stood beside couples on a boat, among the dunes and in locations that could hardly have been more different from one another. Some weddings were large and traditional. Others were small and intimate. I have accompanied symbolic wedding ceremonies, elopements and vow renewals. And although every one of these weddings had its own atmosphere, one thing became especially clear to me again: In the end, it is always about…

Personal time capsule for couples: a romantic idea to preserve your love.
There are moments in a relationship that feel quiet and yet mean everything. A glance, a conversation, a shared decision, an anniversary, an engagement, a wedding or simply an evening when you realise: we have grown together. These moments cannot always be captured perfectly in a photo. Sometimes, from the outside, you cannot even see how important they were. And yet they remain deeply present for a long time. A personal time capsule for couples can preserve exactly these feelings. Not as a big project, not as a perfect production, but as one small conscious moment: you write down what connects you today, what you wish for and what you…

Romantic Picnic in Gran Canaria: A Special Idea for Your Proposal
A romantic picnic in Gran Canaria is a beautiful idea for anyone who wants to experience a special moment together: personal, calm, lovingly prepared, and set within an atmospheric backdrop.

What matters most is that the moment suits you as a couple. A picnic creates exactly that space: for closeness, surprise, personal words, and a conscious pause…

Love Knows No Place – the Inselboda Podcast: conversations about celebrant ceremonies, elopements and destination weddings

Symbolic Wedding in Tenerife: The Right Island for Your Wedding in the Canary Islands

Tenerife often feels more layered than other islands. That is exactly what makes it such an exciting wedding destination. The island brings together different landscapes and moods in a small area: impressive heights, green slopes, rougher coastlines, viewpoints…

Wedding on Lanzarote: volcanic landscapes, calm and minimalism for your wedding
Wedding on Lanzarote: volcanic landscapes, calm and minimalism for your wedding There are islands that inspire loudly. And there are islands that work quietly, but deeply. For many couples, Lanzarote belongs exactly in that second category. The landscape is reduced, clear, and at the same time extraordinary: dark volcanic earth, white houses, wide horizons, rugged coasts, and a light that makes everything feel almost slightly surreal. That is exactly what makes a wedding on Lanzarote so special for many couples. If you are not dreaming of a large traditional wedding, but rather of a place with calm, style, and character, a symbolic ceremony on Lanzarote may be exactly right for you. The island often…

Spiritual wedding preparation: how to mindfully align as a couple for your ceremony
A wedding does not begin only in the moment when the music starts, the guests stand up, or you look at each other during the ceremony. For many couples, it begins much earlier, on the inside. In the time before the ceremony, a special in-between space often emerges: between everyday life and a new beginning, between organization and emotion, between anticipation, nervousness, and the deep knowing that something meaningful is about to happen. This is exactly where spiritual wedding preparation can be valuable. As a flexible concept and something intended both for highly spiritual people and for those who are less spiritual. A conscious way to gift yourselves time as…

Winter beach wedding in Gran Canaria: intimate destination wedding for two
A winter beach wedding in Gran Canaria has a very special atmosphere. While temperatures drop and the days grow short in Central Europe, the south of the island often reveals its calmest and at the same time most beautiful side: mild weather, warm light, and empty beaches just before sunset.

This video shows one such intimate wedding: an Austrian couple spending the winter in Gran Canaria decides to have a personal beach ceremony in the south of…

Beach wedding in Fuerteventura in a small circle: symbolic ceremony at sunset by the sea
There are weddings that do not need to be loud to become unforgettable. This beach wedding in Fuerteventura was exactly that: small, personal, full of calm and, in the end, even more beautiful than originally planned. A wedding in Fuerteventura is especially suited to couples who want a calm, personal and natural ceremony by the sea. Whether as a symbolic ceremony in Fuerteventura, as a small beach wedding for two, or in petit comité with just a few loved ones: this reduced form of wedding often feels especially fitting on the island. The openness, the light and the relaxed atmosphere create a setting in which less truly can be more.…
