EMMANUELLE RICARD,
WEDDING CELEBRANT
How it all began...
Life is full of surprises…
It was a chance encounter that led me to this profession 13 years ago. Until then, I had been a professional actress and singer, performing on stages across France and all over Europe—in roles ranging from dramatic to comedic (including Maria in West Side Story, La Vie Parisienne, and many contemporary creations). I later transitioned into stage directing and coaching, working with various artists and ensembles—particularly in the classical music world—as well as teachers and communications students.
While preparing my very first ceremonies thirteen years ago, I realized that beyond traditional and symbolic rituals, I could create something far more artistic and meaningful. I wanted to give each ceremony a deeply personal touch for the bride and groom —involving them and their loved ones from the very start.
I opened the process to family and friends who had so many stories to tell and were eager to share heartfelt memories with me along the way. Rather than relying on static questionnaires, I engage them through in-depth video calls. By building trust, listening closely, and mastering the art of asking the right questions, I learned to draw out the essence of their stories.
Together, we weave the magic of the ceremony: they simply open up and share their memories, and I bring it all to life into a vibrant, unforgettable story.
This rich material allows me to craft a true gem of a ceremony—one that deeply honors the bride and groom in every possible way. Drawing upon all my artistic tools and creativity, this approach naturally birthed my signature concept, “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.”

My Creative Approach & Expertise
Through a unique approach to the symbolic ceremony, I bring you my artistic vision, my talent as a writer, and my stage experience. Combined with that is attentive listening and guidance drawn from my years as a communication coach—having helped countless people find their voice and speak in public with confidence.
For over a decade, I have been working alongside couples and their loved ones as a dedicated wedding celebrant. I love telling stories, touching hearts, and making people dream. As a professional singer and actress, connecting with an audience is second nature to me.
I will imagine a truly unique and magical ceremony for you, devoting around forty hours of bespoke creation to your story (depending on your package). On your wedding day, I will officiate with joy and feel deeply honored to bring all my talents together for you.
MY SKILLS,
MY PASSIONS,
& MY CREATIVE SPARK!
As an actress, writer, director, and musician, I craft ceremonies filled with emotion, poetry, and humor, bringing rhythm, elegance, and intensity to every moment.
A traveler, avid reader, and film lover, I am curious by nature. I thrive on meeting new people, discovering new cultures, and continually expanding my horizons. Every encounter, every story, and every unexpected moment that crosses my path fuels my artistic vision, which I transform through my own sensitivity and creativity.
I officiate seamlessly in French and English (fully bilingual), switching effortlessly between both languages to keep your story flowing. I also regularly write and conduct bilingual ceremonies in Italian, using my stage background to ensure every word resonates with pure emotion. Additionally, I have a working knowledge of Spanish and German, allowing me to warmly guide and include all your international guests.

I will turn your ceremony into an breathtaking, deeply moving experience.
