Hermann

Your personal celebrant for unforgettable moments

So lovely to have you here!

I’m Barbara Hermann, your wedding officiant and ceremonial speaker - and the voice behind Wortmagie.

As a mother of three teenagers and happily married for almost 20 years, I know just how valuable deep connections, emotional moments, and unforgettable memories are.

With my words, I want to bring your personal story to life and turn your celebration into a truly unique experience. Whether it’s a wedding ceremony, a naming celebration, or a special ritual – I’ll accompany you with heart, empathy, and a touch of magic.

Together, let’s transform your unique wishes into a moving and personalized ceremony.

Ceremonial speaker & Psychological Coach

Empathetic. Personal. Authentic

As both a ceremonial speaker and a psychological coach, I bring empathy, understanding, and emotional depth to every step of your journey.

Every story is unique, and sometimes emotions can be overwhelming. Thanks to my training in psychological counseling, I can support you not only with words but also on a deeper, human level. This way, I create speeches that don’t just sound beautiful – they truly touch your heart

For me, the connection between us is key – it’s the only way I can tell your story authentically. That’s why I take time for an in-depth first meeting, where we discover together what matters most to you and how I can express it in words.

Ceremonial speaker - behind the scenes

Rooted in nature. Full of energy. Open-hearted

I live with my family in a small, idyllic village near Landsberg am Lech

I love animals and proudly serve as the personal assistant to two amazing cat ladies.

Rooted in nature and bursting with energy, I find balance and inspiration through hiking, gravel biking, and swimming.

Creative and warm-hearted, my love for baking adds a touch of delight to our daily routine.

When I’m not writing your love story or spending time outdoors, you might find me lost in Hogwarts or Basgiath – I absolutely love books!

I usually take losing well – unless we're playing "Settlers of Catan". Then, I show no mercy!

What defines me as a speaker – and makes your ceremony truly special:

The power of words & stories

I weave words into stories that come alive and linger in the heart. My speeches are meant to move you – and leave lasting memories behind.

Empathy & Warmth

With a strong sense of empathy, I find the perfect balance between depth and humor – creating a unique connection with my audience.

Imagination & Uniqueness

Each speech is a unique creation, thoughtfully crafted to reflect the individual needs and personalities of those I speak for.

Certified psychological Coach

Thanks to my training as a psychological counselor, I bring deep understanding of emotions, interpersonal dynamics, and my clients’ needs. This enables me to craft speeches that create not just words, but genuine connections.

Designer of personal rituals

Upon request, I weave heartfelt, personal rituals into my speeches – crafting moments rich with meaning and emotional depth.

Family Person

I’ve been happily married to my husband for more than 20 years and am a proud mother of three. My empathy for personal connections and appreciation for the meaning of family strongly influence my work.
